About this property

Historic Cottage - Near Grove Park Inn - Private Garden w/ Hot Tub and Swing

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, Netflix, and Hulu. 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 large private hot tub beneath the trees—your personal spa in the city. 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.

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.

Grove Park

We had a great weekend at this place. The inside was clean and neat and the bed was very comfortable. But the outside could use some cleaning up. Parking is very tight unless you drive a small vehicle. Also it is within walking distance of the Omni Grove Park inn.

Perfect space for a couple getaway!

We are so glad we stayed at Three Bears Cottage! The place is a perfect size for a couple and is nicely tucked away with great scenery near Park Grove Inn. You are welcomed with a bottle of wine upon arrival and the place was very clean and well organized. There's a binder with a quick overview of where to find key items and information about the area and property. The bed is incredibly comfortable so we both slept very well! We enjoyed an evening walking over to Sunset Terrace at the Park Grove for drinks, dinner and a view. It's a short walk (uphill and with stairs --doable, but just a heads up for those looking for flat land-- you won't find this in most of Asheville, haha). The location is very central for Asheville and we were only about 10-15 minutes from places we wanted to drive to (brewery, Asheville Tourists ballpark). We would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend it!

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.
