Welcome to adorable Belmont where charm blossoms and so does our cottage. Recently renovated with heart and love, it’s an old house but we think it’s pretty sweet and we hope our guests do too. New mattresses, new furniture, tankless water heater and all new appliances - we made an old house shine again. We are a 15 min walk to downtown and all that Belmont has to offer or just enjoy the space, eat al fresco or swing in the hammock. You’re home at Belmont Cottage.
*New starting Jan 2023 - ask us about our mid-term stay options
The whole cottage is dedicated to our guests. The Space - Beautiful natural light, vaulted ceilings, gorgeous chandelier, vertical shiplap, gold hardware and neutral, soothing decor. Let your eyes rest in this soothing abode. Relax in the open space making it easy to chat on the sofa while some cooks in the kitchen. Our smart ROKU tv allows you stream your own streaming accounts. Head to the master bedroom where a new king mattress awaits with its own ensuite bathroom and rainfall shower head. We have a cozy (ie small) second bedroom that has a full bed with a lofted twin mattress over the full bunk for a whimsical room that allows additional sleeping options. To sleep 3 in this room, I recommend kids or 2 adults understanding that one will have to climb to the lofted twin bed. The second bathroom is located off the den with a tub/shower combo. The house is on a tankless water heater - hot water might take a few more seconds to heat up but once it does, it will never run out. Enjoy the gas grill outside or electric stove inside. The whole house is cooled and heated by a mini-split system. This means each room can have their own temperature.
A unique option with this cottage is that it is located behind our sister Airbnb - The Belmont Bungalow. Although both houses have their own private and completely separate space and yards - should families need to book both - ie for wedding weekends, holidays, reunions, etc - you have the possibility of having 5 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms to sleep a total of 11 people between both neighboring houses. Each home must be booked separately due to different calendars and cleaning fees, any outside use of space must still be approved if unauthorized guests are coming on site. This new listing provides convenience for those needing additional overflow space to have another house close by or for those choosing to stay private, it is still tucked away and makes a beautiful home away from home. It's always nice to have options and the Belmont Cottage and The Belmont Bungalow provide those.
Smart lock code will be sent 7 days prior to your stay.
We live close by and have licensed professionals should any problems arise, but we typically allow apps and messaging to allow guests access so guests can come and go as they please.
We are a 15 min walk to downtown Belmont or 2 minute drive. Belmont is safe, charming and packs a lot of character into a small town visit. Check out our guidebook on places to eat, play and spend the day.
Car, legs, uber, sidewalks to downtown… different methods and lots of options!
We are located off of south main st in Belmont - you may hear street traffic.
*We do ask you to sign a rental agreement and we utilize a security deposit hold before all stays to prevent blatant disregard for house rules. Thank you!

The Belmont Cottage was such a wonderful spot for our family. From the location to the decor, amenities, comfort, and communication prior to and during our stay, we highly recommend this gem!
The cozy cottage was perfect for our family of four and just as listed. The communication with the host was great, and every need was accounted for. We would stay again!
The cottage was just perfect. Everything was exactly like the listing. My husband and I enjoyed our visit so much. We would definitely rent this cottage again.
I booked Belmont Cottage for me and my senior parents to stay in for a few days. We needed a comfy spot to hang out, cook meals together, and get some good sleep. The home is in a great location, nestled back behind another rental on a quiet street near downtown. Loved the Scandi decor and having parking spots right out front! Beds were very comfy. (Bring a sleep mask if you're using the smaller BR, as theres no curtain and the sun comes right in onto the bed). The Kitchen is very well appointed and we easily cooked gourmet meals at the house. This would be a five-star stay but as other guests have noted, the home does have a musty smell and can be a bit damp. It may be because we were unable to get all 4 mini splits to run, despite the host trying to help remotely. (Host was very nice and helpful). I think if air--whether warm, cool or just the fan--- is circulating, the smell is probably not as prominent, or it may even dissipate altogether.
Had a wonderful experience in this little home. Very clean, very modern, great outdoor space and dining/grilling area 15 minute walk to little downtown Belmont.
This property is one of my favorite places! It is so cute and cozy. Has everything you need for a family of 4 or 5. It is private and safe. The proximity to the adorable town of Belmont is very close and it’s about 15-20 minutes to Charlotte. A truly comfortable place!
We enjoyed our stay at this lovely little property close to Belmont College, downtown, Belmont, and the airport. The home was cozy, and well furnished, had comfortable beds, and was very clean! Communication with the owner was smooth and timely. I would highly recommend this property!
my best friend and i needed a getaway and had a wonderful stay with everything you’d need in the cottage as well as having a homey and Scandinavian furnished vibe. we didn’t find it walkable to Belmont due to sidewalks and distance however, others may!
Belmont Cottage was just like it showed in the pictures. The kitchen was well stocked.
had a little trouble figuring out the AC but finally did and it worked well. The location was great. Historic downtown Belmont was great and had lots of good restaurants. The host was very responsive when we had any questions.
We would stay there again if we came out to Charlotte
We lived our Etsy in this charming cottage. The owners/managers were so communicative and helpful. Such a professional operation. The cottage was beautiful and clean and had all the extras we could want. Our only suggestion may be to run a portable dehumidifier because the older cottage wasn’t insulated. It cooled down well but was a touch humid and therefore a touch musty. Not a big problem at all. Thanks so much for a great stay!

Thank you for staying with us. The older cottage is actually very well insulated during the renovation but almost too much as it doesn’t breathe well (vaulted our ceilings and no more attic!) but worth it for a cute look. Our cleaners reported this same issue and we recently added an air purifier and a crawlspace sump pump. We regret we didn’t have it installed by your stay but both things should remedy any problems! Thank you for the feedback and we appreciate hearing that so we can always continue to maintain our listings to the best standard possible.
This cozy cottage was prefect for our family of 3. Very close drive to downtown Belmont restaurants, coffee shops, stores. And an easy, quick drive to the Whitewater Rafting Center, which was the main purpose of our visit. The decor was very pleasing and the home felt very relaxing. Everything was very clean. The outdoor space was great as well. It was a very comfortable stay. We had a question about the door code when we arrived and the homeowner responded to our message immediately!! We hope to stay again next time we are in the area! Loved it!

We recently had the pleasure of staying at this fantastic property, and it exceeded all expectations. The stylish decor and thoughtful amenities made it a home away from home. With the capacity to comfortably sleep five people and the added convenience of a foldable crib, it's an excellent choice for various travelers.
The patio is a true gem, accommodating up to eight people around a table and boasting a grill for those delightful outdoor gatherings. This property truly deserves its five-star rating. Impeccably maintained with a modern vibe, it offers a perfect blend of comfort and style. Highly recommend for a memorable and enjoyable stay!
This hands down was one of the best properties we have stayed in thru VRBO. The host was so responsive as well. We were there with some of the coldest temperatures in this area. The water froze and we messaged the host and within the hour she had someone out to handle it!! The home was spotless, stocked and ready to go! Thank you for such a wonderful time at your lovely home.
We've been going to the Charlotte area for a decade or so to visit family. We are not "city folk" so we try to stay out of the big city as much as possible. Because of that, this place is a perfect location. The cottage is in the charming little city of Belmont and sits back a bit from the road to provide a little more privacy. We love the fact that within a mile or two there are lots of great places to eat, shop, and go walking. We loved going to Lofton Riverfront Park and watching the birds and wildlife. As we ventured out further (about 15-20 minutes) we were able to visit the beautiful Daniel Stowe Botanical Garden and the US Olympic Whitewater Training Center. And for you big city folks, it is a very convenient 25-minute drive to downtown Charlotte.
The cottage itself is very clean, the words "cute" and "charming" came up a few times when sharing pictures with family. And Gwynne was very responsive to our questions and changing needs. We would highly recommend this place and would definitely stay here again.
We didn't end up staying at the cottage, because of the smell. I booked this place because my daughter was excited about the loft bed, however, when we entered the cottage there was a very musty smell even with an air purifier, fan, and AC going and I was nervous of potential mold exposure for me and my family. This was the most expensive place we booked during our 8 day trip, so we were disappointed to not be able to stay in the accommodations we booked. The management company responded promptly, were polite, and communicative. They said that no one has mentioned the smell, but when I went back to the listing and looked at past reviews more thoroughly, there was another occupant that mentioned it as well as the cleaning company. We were offered the small home in front of the cottage and we slept there for two nights. The front home was clean and had anything you might need for comfort. The front house is located on a busier road, so if you're sensitive to noise at night, I would take this into consideration. Also, the master bedroom bed sits on top of an air conditioner vent which made the bed quite cold, however, if we turned up the thermostat, the other rooms would become too warm. There is also a lot of red tape to renting this place, they made me sign an online contract before renting that contained all of your personal information and in order to use their WiFi you're required to put in your email and are asked to subscribe to their promotional information.

Thank you for sharing your experience. We’re truly sorry the cottage didn’t meet your expectations. We take any concerns about air quality seriously. A certified professional had recently inspected the crawlspace and confirmed there’s no mold, and we had recently proactively installed a sump pump due to drainage. The cottage uses mini-splits, and when they haven’t been running, air can feel stagnant—this is why we provide an air purifier. Some guests notice it more than others, but air circulation is easily improved once the system is running after check in.
Although we assured you there was no mold present, we respected your concerns and quickly relocated you to the front home at your request. We’re glad you found that space clean and well-equipped, and we appreciate the feedback on the AC vent, had this been mentioned we would have instructed on how to close that vent.
Regarding the WiFi and rental agreement: you don’t have to subscribe to anything, and opting out is easy. Most guests prefer not having to enter a password. We clearly state the rental agreement at booking—it helps set expectations and guests are welcome to cancel if it’s not a good fit.
We appreciate your compliments about our team’s communication and responsiveness. Our goal is always to provide a comfortable stay and accommodate each guest’s needs to the best of our ability. Thank you again for your feedback—it helps us continue improving.
