Beautiful Mountain Getaway - All Four Breathtaking Seasons!
Enjoy the enchanting Firefly Cottage at Mistletoe Hill. -- our winter months welcome yet another breathtaking season here in the Blue Ridge Mountains! Nearby waterfalls are tumbling, creeks are rushing, the weather is mild, and Main Street is bustling. Biltmore Estate and the Grove Park Inn are full of seasonsl beauty -- all it needs is YOU here to enjoy it! It's a PERFECT TIME to come and enjoy this beautiful season and stay at a remarkable cottage. Majestic tree-lined drive leads to charming storybook cottage in the midst of privately owned "Mistletoe Hill" property just a short drive to downtown Hendersonville, the Biltmore Estate, Pisgah Forest, the Green River (whitewater and tubing), the Tryon International Equestrian Center, Flat Rock Playhouse/NC State Theater, hiking trails, the three county "land of 1000 waterfalls" and the Smoky Mountains! Ideal for a couple (or friends traveling together), in the former carriage house on a beautiful property setting adjacent to the owners updated historic 1930's home. Designed with all the amenities you could desire for a vacation getaway -- and a spacious, relaxed, mountain-style that the country-squire Lauren himself would approve! On truly beautiful property that was formerly part of the French Chanteloupe estate owned by Count Choseuil from France, via his appointment in Charleston. Your own private deck, a quietly gurgling water garden beside your cottage, a magnificent 350 year oak tree in your back yard -- with your own tree swing waiting for you! And yes, a great firepit. Beautifully decorated and appointed. And Firefly Cottage is always completely sanitized from top to bottom between guests.
Located approximately 2 miles from the antique shops, galleries, fabulous restaurants and boutiques of delightful downtown Hendersonville -- and a short drive from the cottage to Dupont State Forest, Pisgah Forest and other outdoor attractions.

We have stayed at the Firefly many times. It is spacious, clean, quiet, a great location for hiking, visiting the Biltmore, etc. Hosts are wonderful including Smokey the dog!
Host is super nice and helpful. Home is spotless clean and well maintained. The bed is amazing and the most comfortable mattress we have ever slept on. We cant wait to come back. Highly recommend.
We have stayed here several times over the last 5 years. The cabin is quiet, comfortable and a great location for venturing off to Dupont State Forest, Pisgah National Forest, Flat Rock, or downtown Hendersonville. We enjoyed checking out the Ecusta Cafe and Brewery and I had a fantastic bike ride on the new Ecusta Trail!
What a cute and cozy cottage. We truly enjoyed our stay. It was perfect- from coffee on the deck to having washer and dryer with detergent left at the front door The cottage had it all. Can’t wait to come back! Thanks for the hospitality! And can’t forget about the sweet dog!
Our host was extremely pleasant. Made our stay feel very welcomed.

Wonderful host who greeted us as we came in. Cottage is close to town but far enough out to be quiet. Super clean and comfy. Grill out back cooks wonderfully as well.
Firefly Cottage was very cozy and very clean, no complaints! The location was close to everything we wanted to do, and the check-in and check-out process was very easy!

Why they chose this property
It has an unbelievable 200 foot long entrance drive, lined by magnificent 100 foot tall Norwegian Pines, which caused us to fall in love at first sight. The home is comfortable, spacious and charming as well the cottage.
What makes this property unique
We are situated within 2 miles of historic downtown Hendersonville -- and yet it feels as if we are located deep within a country mountain setting. The 350 year old oak tree which canopies Firefly Cottage at Mistletoe Hill captivated our hearts with the rope swing of our childhoods! Beautiful water garden trickles between the cottage and owner's home.
