Also, in the pictures, you will see the property cat "Blythe." He loves people and will most certainly welcome you. He will tell you he wants to come inside and hang out with you, but he is not allowed inside (only on the porch). He likes to smooth talk people into sharing their breakfast with him. Silly Blythe!
We now offer "add-on's". As you can see in the photos, we offer packages with Biltmore Estate wine, cheese plates, locally made chocolates, and flower arrangements. These are great options for that special someone! Please contact us for more information.

Nice Mountain Getaway
This was a great little place to stay just minutes from DuPont state forest. It's perfect if you're flying solo or a couple looking for a mountain retreat. All the essentials were provided and then some, including some company from two friendly cats on the front porch! Overall, it was a nice, enjoyable stay.

Ideal location, everything we needed, responsive host
The cottage is located in an ideal spot, 5 minutes from Dupont trails, 10 minutes from Brevard and close to Hendersonville too. It had everything we needed at a great price. Our host was immediately available, thoughtful and generous to us. The cottage is just off a road so we could hear some traffic noise but enjoyed our stay very much.

Short but sweet visit
Was coming down to visit and see the area more in-depth and found this place perfectly located just outside of Brevard and just at the entrance to the DuPont Park. Everything I was looking for was just minutes away and the place itself was perfect for this getaway. The owner was very polite and very helpful, definitely wanting to make sure the stay was good and checked in via the app if I needed anything. Definitely on my list to rent again when back in the area.

A hidden gem
This is a great property very close to hiking, and well located between Hendersonville and Brevard. The bed was comfortable, the house very clean, the kitchen aptly equipped, and the rocking chair in the living room a great place to read and reflect on cold December days. Kim had trail maps, and local activities, and other resources placed in the cabin and was available to meet any needs. Additionally, The Flat Rock Wood Room is a great place to eat - the pretzels and BBQ were amazing!

This cottage is awesome. I was in town for a celebration of life on Slick Rock. The cottage was conveniently located and the history was awesome to read. SUPER clean and appointed with everything you need plus! Blythe the cottage kitty is so sweet. She jumped up in my lap while I was having my morning coffee in the rocker on the porch. The bed was very comfortable and I felt very safe. I definitely recommend the Firefly Cottage!

Firefly Cottage
Donna here, easy rental by 2 lovely ladies. Many extra little touches of comfort added you won't find in a hotel. Bed is "firm", sheets, pillows soft. Bthrm water hot, great pressure, towels super soft. Only bad thing beyond their control, is lots of loud traffic. It did die down appx. 9pm. Close to rivers with so much to do. Make sure you check out the end table drawer as it's full of brochures. You will enjoy your stay!

Highly accomodating and close to nature!
This cottage had everything we needed! We accidentally overlooked that it was attached to another occupied unit when we booked it (we prefer to stay at places without nearby neighbors) but nonetheless had complete privacy and didn't hear the neighbors at all during our 3 night stay. The cottage is kept very clean, tidy, and we greatly appreciated that it was equipped with household essentials such as paper towels, toilet paper, dish soap, hand soap, as well as linens and towels. It also has a tv with streaming apps (with a rocking chair, futon and blankets for comfort!), games, puzzles, and a covered porch entrance with outside furniture to enjoy the crisp mountain air. It is very conveniently located off a main, flat road (you can hear traffic on that road but it was not heavy at all during the night) and above all, it is just minutes away from several of the Dupont State Forest parking/access points! We knew that it is also close to Pisgah but we only visited Dupont (three times!) during our stay because we like that it is a smaller landmark, although big enough with numerous waterfalls, mountaintops, and hiking, biking, and equestrian trails that make up a total of over 80 miles. We found a local restaurant called Corky's Dawgs (under 10 miles away) that we enjoyed so much, we had to eat there twice. The owners of the cottage were extremely responsive before and during our stay, providing helpful tips on nearby points of interest. They even left us a very sweet note and gift because they knew we were celebrating our anniversary :) we highly recommend this cottage! Thank you Kim and Jerri!

Great weekend getaway
Great little cottage for a weekend getaway for two. Location was convenient to Brevard, Hendersonville, parks and waterfalls. The place was clean and thoughtfully stocked with some essentials. Kim went the extra mile to put out a portable firepit which we unfortunately didn't get to use because there was so much to do in the surrounding towns. We'd stay again for sure!

Acerca de su propietario/a
Propietario/a: Kim Guice
Welcome to Firefly Cottage! We love nature and visiting local breweries. We also enjoy traveling.
Kim is a native to Penrose and loves to share the cottage with guests. Her grandfather built the property back in the 1940's as a local store. We can't wait for you to read about the history inside.
Leslye is from Ohio. She always knew she wanted to settle in the Appalachian Mountains. She is happy to now call Penrose "home."
Por qué escogió este alojamiento
I am a Western North Carolina native and grew up in Penrose. I love the mountains and everything nature has to offer. My grandfather built this unit in the 1940s. It was historically known as Orr's Store. I would love to host you and share a little piece of history with you.
Qué hace que este alojamiento sea especial
Firefly Cottage is the original building of Historic Orr's Store. It is full of history and love. We cannot wait to share it with you!
