Our space can be rented for 30 nights or more only.

Arrive to our adorable home and lush, landscaped gardens, and follow the stone path to the back of our home to find the entry to Zen Cottage. Inside, you'll find a comfortable living area with a futon, bistro table and a closet area for storing your belongings. The dining area flows into the efficient and well-equipped kitchen. You'll have everything you'll need to cook small meals. The unique bathroom is across from the kitchen it has a nice walk-in shower and a toilet. Please note there is no sink in the bathroom, so you must use the kitchen sink for washing up. There is a full length mirror in the bathroom, for your convenience. Take the ladder to the loft level for your cozy sleeping area with a comfortable, queen mattress.

Take in our beautifully landscaped yard by relaxing on the stone patio beside the Cottage. At night, feel free to enjoy a fire in the fire pit (bring your own wood). And if you're feeling adventurous, try out our outdoor shower.

We are located in the beloved Montford Neighborhood, a National Register Historic District on the edge of Downtown Asheville. This eclectic neighborhood consists of a blend of beautiful, historic homes as well as newer modern and craftsman-style homes, along with several neighborhood businesses. This is a great community to go for a stroll or bike ride, or for a walk into Downtown. We are steps away from the Reed Creek Greenway, which is a great place to go for a run or bike ride. The Creek and Greenway run along the back of our Property!

Our Cottage is perfect for up to 3 people that want to enjoy all of the amenities of Downtown Asheville, while having their own space to relax, enjoy a unique experience and have the convenience to cook their own meals. Explore the neighborhood or take a stroll into Downtown. At Zen Cottage, everything you could want from your Asheville stay is so convenient and close by!
