This home is historic to the area, being over 100 years old. It features the original fireplace, wood flooring and wood paneling in the bedrooms. The fencing outside is also over 100 years old, stemming from the home’s past use as a farmhouse.

Or take advantage of the mountain weather and have a cookout on the Char-Broil gas grill. After a day filled with Asheville adventures, cozy up in the living room and watch movies, or take the gathering outside to sit around the fire pit. Of course, in summer you won't want to miss the beautiful firefly light show in the evening. Two bedrooms offer a sound night's sleep, while a sleeper sofa in the living area provides bonus sleeping space. The shared bath includes a full size washer and dryer.

Cigarettes

Unfortunately the house smelled like cigarettes. Otherwise, it was a cute little place close to town. Linens and floors were super clean. Neighbors a little closer than expected but still relatively secluded.

The cottage was lovely - well decorated, abundantly appointed. Communication from the mgmt company was excellent. Only disappointment was the run down surrounding area/neighborhood. Hopefully it is up and coming for the future.

Fantastic location

It felt as if we were in the middle of nowhere. There were wild turkeys and rabbits. But we were close to everything great about Asheville! There is an especially nice little café near the cabin. Check it out!

Charming Private Cottage

Big landscaped lawn twinkled with evening fireflies, while forest & fencing provided privacy at small, comfortable cottage. The small porch was especially nice. Ideal location, tucked off a convenient residential road just minutes from River Arts District & downtown Asheville. Door alarm shrieked upon arrival, but after-hours staff was responsive and quickly resolved issue. Extra fees after rental confirmation were a surprise, and kitchen extras were lean, but overall a cozy spot for 2-4 people.

Firefly Cottage-DON'T GO!!

From the moment we stepped inside it was terrible...horrible odor, filthy throughout, even coffee pot had used grinds that were mildew, hair in corners of the rooms, towels that were provided smelled of mildew and the washcloths turned black when they got wet,shower curtain dragged on the floor and showed it wasn't cleaned. Had to wash the towels before we could use them after driving 14 hrs for our vacation. Not going back ever to Asheville. Called Carolina Morning and they said they would send over a cleaning person. Really? Shouldn't that have been done BEFORE check in. We paid for a week and left a day later. They wouldn't refund us the cost, just the pet and cleaning fee. And oh, the dog droppings all over the yard. No one checks this property out or cleans it for months. Hope this helps someone who might fall for the 'charming" cottage.
