About the host

Hosted by Molly Foy

Host profile image
My two sisters and I (co-hosts of The Mayor's Cottage) grew up next door and spent a lot of time in the cottage when our grandmother lived there. We have maintained it and renovated it with love, and we hope our guests soak up its historical charm while enjoying all of the modern conveniences that we've added. We are happy to answer questions any time and are honored to be your host.

Why they chose this property

The property was beautifully updated during the winter of 2021-22. It is all on one level, so no stair-climbing is required. Interior doorways connect the living area to the bedroom and the bedroom to the spacious bathroom. The living, dining, and kitchen areas are connected via open floor plan. Large windows and recessed lighting make the interiors bright and welcoming. The seating furniture is comfortable and plentiful. Located next to a large window, the dining table can double as workspace. All rooms can be heated in cooler months, and the new air-cooling mini-split unit, plus bedroom ceiling fan, will keep guests comfortable when it's hot outside.

The Mayor's Cottage is located in a quiet residential neighborhood at the center of town. You'll find many activities nearby, but you can also drive to Asheville in 30 minutes to visit popular attractions, such as the Biltmore Estate. If you're looking for great scenery and hiking, you'll be on the Blue Ridge Parkway in 15 minutes. And it's a convenient base for enjoying beautiful Cataloochee Valley, the Cataloochee Ski Resort, Nantahala and Pisgah forests, and the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, or just a leisurely stroll around Lake Junaluska.

Private (and free), off-road parking is available for a single vehicle. The neighborhood and downtown areas are easily walkable, if desired. This is also a great area for biking.

What makes this property unique

Guests have access to the entire structure, as well as to the grassy front yard and the large, fenced-in backyard.

The Mayor's Cottage is perfect for people of all ages, including couples, single adults, and small families. TV service includes channels provided through DirecTV, and the smart TV itself allows for streaming through guests' own subscriptions and devices. Board games, puzzles, and DVDs, as well as a wall-full of books, are available for our guests' indoor entertainment.

To ensure you get settled in and have a great start to your visit, we provide a starter supply of toilet paper, paper towels, soaps, detergents and other essentials. However, these may not be enough for those booking an extended stay, and you may need to purchase additional supplies.

NOTE: Exterior-only security cameras (2) are installed for the protection of the property and our guests. (There are no other video or audio recording devices on premises.)
