About this property

Classic Romantic Creek View D/T Cottage! Walk to town & AT! Indoor Firelogs!

This sweet 1920's bungalow offers a great place to retreat, unwind, and step back in time. You will find everything you need while you experience the charm of Hot Springs and its proximity to all this area has to offer. From the cottage, you will be able to walk to the Appalachian Trail, natural hot springs spa, local brewery, famous local diner, restaurants, shops, and more. And if you have more of an adventure up your sleeve, you can get to many other trails and destinations along with Asheville in less than an hours drive.

Blue Heron Cottage sits on a bluff above Spring Creek, a renowned fishing stream in the Pisgah National Forest, where you hear the flow of the stream at all times of the day. While relaxing on the deck or within the house with the sliding doors open, we hope you find time to kick back and just be. A writer and artist dream spot to reinvigorate one's senses. All the modern amenities in a very laid back atmosphere.

The cottage includes 1 spacious bedroom with a King-sized bed. There is a bathroom with a large garden tub and shower combo. The living room has views over the creek and a gas fireplace with a Smart TV for streaming your favorite channels. The kitchen is spacious and offers everything you need to eat in if you choose. Fiber optic internet service has been added so that guests have the best internet option in town. We hope you will consider staying at Blue Heron Cottage.

The cottage rental allows pets with an additional fee. We limit pets to dogs under 50 pounds and 1 dog per rental period.

Hot Springs is a great destination in all seasons! The weather is mild and roads are tended in the winter time, and the Hot Springs Spa is open year-around for hot mineral soaks. Restaurants and shops are open as well, and we love to hike the Lover's Leap trail on cool, sunny days when things are a bit quieter around here.
Summer is a wonderful season to enjoy many things to do outside, including rafting and tubing and venturing up to Max Patch Bald.
Spring sees beautiful mountain wildflowers and hikers traveling through on the Appalachian Trail.
Fall never disappoints with endless potentials to see the trees changing at different elevations and finishing your day with a fire and soak in the natural hot springs or a beer at Big Pillow Brewing.

Hot Springs Hideaway

Blue Heron cottage was perfect for our weekend in Hot Springs. Everything in Hot Springs was in walking distance. We were able to access the restaurants in downtown with ease. We enjoyed a soak at the Hot Springs resort and several opportunities to hike local trails. We want to wish all our best to the citizens of HS as they continue their recovery from Hurrican Helene.

Wedding Guest Stay

The property is dated and old. It definitely has the old house smell and needs to be thoroughly deep cleaned and exterminated.- the a/c was a HUGE problem. there is no central air which is not specified in the listing. there is an a/c wall mounted unit in the living room. that is the only one to cool the entire home. there is no a/c unit in the bedroom, kitchen and bathroom. the living room unit does not cool the house. It was muggy and hot most of the time. we came for july fourth weekend where it was in the 80s and 90s daily. I would not have picked this home if i knew there was not any real a/c. we are from texas so we are used to heat but not without a/c!- There is a bug problem - spiders, cobwebs, other bugs in the house. It is a natural area so I understand bugs get in, but if there are cobwebs around the house that is a problem.- We sat in the backyard, but there are cobwebs off the gutters & black under the soffits. all needs cleaning.- comforter in bedroom was gross with hair on it and it needs washing- Bathroom had big problems - cobwebs/spiders/bugs, mirror old & needs replacement, towels that are provided are old and smell like mold (we even washed some of the towels and could not get the smell out. time to be thrown away and get a fresh set), the shower curtains need to be replaced as there is pink/black mildew on it, the tiles in the shower need to be scrubbed as there is pink/black mold on it, just overall updating would be nice.

Well appointed, superb location in quiet neighborhood

Easy check-in. Hosts were very comunicative before arrival. Kitchen and bath stocked with everything you could need to cook, play, and rest. Steps from town yet tucked away. Back deck along the creek was peaceful. The pictures don't the cottage justice. Third visit to the area and by far the best accommodation to date. Will be looking to come back to the area and plan to stay here again. Thank you!

Absolutely perfect cottage!

We came to Hot Springs for a wedding and managed to fill the weekend with hikes, restaurants, & great shops. We still had time to relax on the wrap around porch with the creek below. The cottage is situated in a perfect spot.

Over all, great place to stay. Little disappointed that the jacuzzi bathtub was described as a hot tub. We were impesssed on how perfect the bungalow was for us. Warm weather return is going to be a goal.
