About this property

Your Carolina Cottage - Charming and close to everything

'Your Carolina Cottage' is a kid-friendly, pet-friendly 3 bedroom, 2 bath home, conveniently located to everything you want to see and do in the Asheville area:

• 2 minutes to Warren Wilson College
• 5 minutes to Billy Graham Training Center (The Cove)
• 7 minutes to the entrance of the Blue Ridge Parkway
• 11 minutes to Black Mountain
• 14 minutes to Ridgecrest Conference Center
• 15 minutes to downtown Asheville
• 16 minutes to the Biltmore House
• 18 minutes to Montreat Conference Center
• 45 minutes to Chimney Rock

Our cottage, which was completed renovated in 2013, has been lovingly preserved within the same family since its inception and is full of character and history. The beautiful wood floors were hand-crafted by the owner from recovered lumber from the old Moore General Hospital, a local WWII army hospital which was subsequently torn down. The beautiful wood trim is also hand-crafted and original to the home.

The home has luxurious appointments throughout, assuring your comfort, pleasure and good night's rest:

• Two bedrooms have new memory foam mattresses
• All beds have 600-thread-count 100% cotton Hotel Collection sheets and down-alternative comforters
• 100% Micro Cotton Hotel Collection bath towels
• Wireless internet access (Wi-Fi)
• Free long-distance (U.S.) phone calls
• Flat panel TV in Living Room
• All bedrooms have flat-panel TVs
• Fully stocked kitchen with stand mixer, food processor, crock pot and more
• Vermont Castings outdoor grill
• Full selection of DVDs, kid's DVDs, games and books
• Washer and Dryer

The setup of the home has unique features that make it ideal for families, two couples and/or family get-togethers. There is a total dining capacity of 8: four in the kitchen and four on the adjacent porch. Unlike many rentals which advertise that they 'sleep 6' - but the some only get a sleeper sofa or futon - all six will have an actual bed. Our back bedroom has its own entrance, making it perfect for two couples where each may want their own schedule or privacy.

• Master Bedroom - Queen bed with new memory foam mattress
• Second Bedroom - Full bed with new memory foam mattress
• Third Bedroom - (2) Twin beds with firm innerspring mattresses

We want all members of your family to be comfortable here, so we provide a strap-on highchair, baby bathtub and sleeping travel crib for your youngest member; and our cottage accepts well-trained dogs (limit two) with separate pet fee.
Our prices include all fees. No hidden fees.

Great little cottage

We were in town for a cheer competition for our daughter, and we needed to bring our dog. This place was in a great location and only 20 mins from downtown. We loved being able to stay outside of the city but still close enough to enjoy it. We will definitely be booking this cottage again in the future.

Very comfortable place to stay. The house is kept well. The only downside was the road that the house is on was very busy and people drove very fast on it. Otherwise I would highly for your stay

Charming & Convenient

We stayed here for a weekend getaway. It was 10 minutes away from downtown and about 15-20 minutes away from Biltmore. The house was very cozy and comfortable. It had all the necessities we needed. Way better than staying in a hotel. The neighborhood was quiet and had wonderful views.

Small Gem

Cozy little house - reminded me of my grandmother’s house. Sweet location; we enjoyed the running trail nearby and being able to sit outside in the yard at the end of the day. It’s close to a grocery store, easy to get to hiking trails, and great for exploring Asheville. Had everything we needed for a comfortable stay.

Extremely well maintained property far enough away from Asheville to avoid the noise and traffic, but close enough to find everything you need. Perfect for families wishing to enjoy the blue ridge mountains. The bedroom arrangement was perfect for 5 of us ( Wife, Son, Daughter in law, grandson). Everything we needed to cook and enjoy our stay. Would definitely recommend.

Great house

My family of 5 (3 kids 7 and under) stayed here for our trip to Asheville. It was such a great, easy to find house and has ALL the accomodations for our needs ! Perfect size that we all had our own beds and a pack n play was already there for us to use. We cooked easily there and came and went as we needed. We definitely will stay here again on our annual trip down ! Host was responsive and kind !

The house was clean and cozy. It had everything we needed. It was well furnished and appointed. We enjoyed listening to the frogs and crickets at night while sitting on the porch. We even saw a family of four foxes scampering.

Lovingly furnished and well supplied. Good location.

A beautiful old red maple in the front with ample yard for leash walking a dog. Great location for attending music camp at nearby Warren Wilson College but as others have noted, traffic on the road is heavy and there is no way to turn around in the driveway so you have to be comfortable with backing into the driveway.

Nice place

It had pretty much everything you could need. The only issue was the parking. That road was hard to back out on and there was no way to turn around in the driveway.
