Just 1.3 miles from downtown Asheville and a five-minute walk to the historic Grove Park Inn, this thoughtfully restored 1913 cottage blends timeless architecture with modern comfort. Set in a quiet, park-like landscape, the home offers a rare combination of privacy and proximity.

A private deck overlooks a dramatic 12-foot waterfall, creating a serene backdrop for morning coffee or an evening glass of wine. Inside, period details are preserved alongside updated amenities, including hotel-quality linens, luxury bath toiletries, and a 4K Amazon Fire TV loaded with Prime and Netflix. A complimentary bottle of wine greets you on arrival.

Cottage features compact functional kitchen with sink, dishwasher, induction stove top, microwave and toaster oven. Guest access to laundry provided.

Tucked behind the cottage, a secluded garden features a covered swing adds a cozy touch, perfect for unwinding in the cool mountain air.

With a dedicated one-car parking pad and just 14 steps to the entrance, the cottage is both accessible and hidden away. Whether you're seeking a romantic retreat or a peaceful solo escape, this quiet sanctuary delivers comfort, beauty, and an unbeatable location in the heart of Asheville.

Wonderful weekend getaway

We loved the property! It was perfect - welcoming the moment you unlocked the door. The hosts have provided comforts that you find in high end hotels - towels and bedding are amazing along with the goat milk toiletries (my favorite brand) Beautiful neighborhood and surroundings with roses and a water feature. It was one of the best places we have ever stayed.

Cozy Cottage

Located in an upscale neighborhood, this cozy cottage is the perfect get away! My husband and I stayed for a few days in June and it was lovely. Walking distance to delicious restaurants. Bed was a bit soft for me but I have a bad back and prefer a firmer mattress, but my husband slept fine. Cottage is clean and well stocked. We enjoyed our stay!

Beautifully Decorated | Awesome Location

What a beautiful 1 bedroom cottage. We were able to walk to the Grove Park Inn for a wedding. Came and went into downtown Asheville several times. Three Bears (we saw 1 on the way to GPI) had everything we needed for our stay. Great selection of teas! Your parking spot is up some steps, but it was not an issue for us. Would stay here again for sure!

Lovely first visit to Asheville

We wanted to see the art galleries in Asheville and the Chihuly glass exhibit at the Biltmore Estate, but didn’t want to stay there (as friends had). This beautifully renovated cottage sits uphill from the owner’s home next to the entrance of the Grove Park Inn in a very nice older neighborhood. Very comfortable for the two of us. Highly recommended!

Great Getaway

We stayed at the cottage for a long weekend. It is located in a great neighborhood located on the same road as the Grove Park Inn. The cottage is perfect for 2 people and had everything we needed to stay in and eat in Iif we wanted to, even a gas grill! The farmer’s markets have great locally grown produce. There are lots of great brewpubs and restaurants nearby (downtown is about a 5-10 minute easy drive). Bones and Broth is right down the hill and is very good. Also, having drinks and appetizers in the lobby and patio of the Grove Park Inn was very enjoyable. The Biltmore is also a fun day trip. We enjoyed the Chihuly exhibit, the house tour and the winery tasting. Craig was a great host and had a bottle of Biltmore wine waiting for us at our arrival. We would definitely stay again the next time we visit Asheville.

Charm Throughout

Cozy historic cottage renovated with thoughtful modern touches while maintaining historical charm—we visited for an anniversary weekend jaunt to Asheville. Comfy bed, plush linens and towels with great water pressure and shower head. Owners live on property close to rental. Stone steps from street level parking pad to cottage are sturdy and even. Welcome bottle of wine from Biltmore House, coffee, tea, hot kettle, coffeemaker with filters and sugars all provided. Will stay here again next visit to Asheville-also fabulous location to Grove Park Inn literally 1/2 mile up the street, 15 mins to Biltmore; 15 to RAD, and 15 to Blue Ridge Pkwy.
