Garden Cottage 2.5 Miles to Downtown With Private, Wooded Surroundings

  • This mountain cottage is conveniently located 2.5 miles from downtown Asheville and 4 miles from the Blue Ridge Parkway offering guests the best of both worlds...a quiet retreat in the heart of the mountains yet convenient to all that Asheville has to offer. A great base from which to explore all of Asheville and the fabulous mountain ranges and waterfalls of western North Carolina. In a five-mile radius you'll find downtown Asheville, the Grove Park Inn, the Blue Ridge Parkway, the Folk Art Center, the Mountains-to-Sea trail, a hundred restaurants, at least a dozen craft breweries, numerous music venues, antiques galore, and Malaprops, the coolest independent bookstore in the Carolinas.
    This well loved and maintained cottage is beautifully furnished and offers two bedrooms with queen sized beds; two full bathrooms; twin sized pull out sofa; and an open living dining area with a wood stove; central heat and AC and ceiling fans. Sliding glass doors open to a deck where you can enjoy your morning coffee while planning your day. Parking area includes a one car garage with additional private parking adjacent to the house. In the Asheville downtown area you will find dining options from fine dining to local options that define the feel of the Asheville foodie culture. If you are a music lover you will be well entertained with music venues of all sizes offering nationally know acts as well as local favorites. Shoppers will love the walkable specialty shops, local boutiques and the amazingly wide array of art galleries and street performers. Asheville is Mecca for yoga enthusiasts and is also filled with many spas and skilled bodywork therapists to help heal and restore your body. For the nature lovers seeking adventure, the Blue Ridge Parkway is only 4 miles away and offers vast scenic views with memorable hiking and road biking. Also located in the Asheville area you can enjoy tubing or kayaking down the French Broad River while viewing the Biltmore Estate.

Quiet place just a few miles away from downtown that has been meticulously maintained. Quickly could access downtown, the highway, or the Blue Ridge parkway. Loved the wood stove which really provides some great ambiance.

Perfect Mountain Cottage

The cottage was perfect for us! It is at the top of the mountain so it snowed the first night we were there, which we loved. It is only about 2 - 2 1/2 miles to downtown Ashville and is close to everything. It looks like it has been recently refreshed and had everything we needed. We wish we had more time and could have stayed longer.

Gorgeous and Cozy

The Garden Cottage was hidden up a winding road on the mountain, in a perfect, secluded spot, but not too hard to find! The exterior garden is incredible, buzzing with bees, butterflies and hummingbirds. So romantic! The interior was beautifully understated and rustic, with a lovely upstairs master bath. Close enough to downtown, yet far enough away to enjoy much needed peace and quiet. Wonderful.

Asheville Home Away from Home

Our stay at this secluded garden cottage was wonderful. The property is a nature lover's paradise, with a furnished deck for enjoying a cup of coffee and enjoying the nature that the mountains have to offer. The home is beautifully furnished and felt very comfortable, while providing every convenience imaginable. It is truly a place that one can stay for a few days, as well as long term. We would definitely recommend Marion's home.

Fall Girls Trip

The property was exactly as listed and we had a terrific stay! You can’t beat the location close to Asheville and although it was a little tough to navigate the roads in the dark when we first checked in, we learned the twists and turns to get down the hill and this was a great place to stay. The inside is lovely and plenty of space and thoughtful accommodations. The host was super quick to respond and very accommodating to make sure we had a great trip. Would highly recommend

greatmountain neighborhood

Downtown Ashville is 10 minutes away and you are living in a real mountain neighborhood. Marion's property is unassuming, comfortable, and leaves nothing to be desired. It's a charming little house nestled in a mountain neighborhood that gives you a taste of the kind of lifestryle you could have in Ashville. The only disappointment was we didn't see any bears. We did some accidental damage to one of marion's tables and didn't realize it before we left. She was extremely gracious when telling us about it. You don't get bells and whistles here but who needs it in Ashville.

Perfect property

We rented this cottage along with my sister in law and husband for 3 nights following our daughter’s wedding and we couldn’t have asked for a more perfect location. Very convenient to downtown Asheville, beautifully furnished and very well stocked with everything we needed. The road down to the cottage is a little steep but perfectly navigable. We loved the peace and quiet and enjoyed the garden at breakfast as well as the wood stove in the evenings. The owner was super helpful and swift to answer a couple of questions. Highly recommend!

It is very convenient to downtown Asheville. Marion was wonderful and very responsive. Our GPS took us the wrong way and we were completely lost. We called Marion and she stayed on the phone with us until we found the property! We would definitely stay here again.

A Beautiful and Quiet Setting Yet Close to Everything

The inside was clean and beautifully decorated with every kitchen amenity we needed. The flowers and card that greeted us was a nice touch. The bedrooms and bathrooms were so similar that neither couple felt that they were being shortchanged. The bumpy, and steep gravel driveway was the only negative and we were glad we escaped driving home at night or in the rain, but it should not be a deterrent because we quickly learned to navigate the bumps. Thanks for a wonderful experience!

A must VRBO!!

Excellent proximity to downtown! You feel away from the bustle of the city but a quick drive down the mountain and you’re in the mix of downtown. The VRBO had everything we needed for a spring break away with our teenagers. We made several meals in and had everything we needed plus some. The house easy very clean and maintained with 2 bedrooms and 2 baths. We arrived at night and the house was well lit and very welcoming! The only minor issue is the floors in the upstairs bedroom, which is above the downstairs room, creaks when you walk around. But it wasn’t an issue for us as we aren’t early risers or up really late. Otherwise we thoroughly enjoyed this VRBO and would highly recommend it to others.

Wonderful Weekend in Asheville

For my wife and our friends this was the perfect location for an Asheville getaway. The cottage is very close to downtown and only minutes from major Asheville attractions. This was not our first VRBO experience and everything during this stay - from booking to check-out - was simple and convenient. The owner is a perfect host providing an extremely clean, comfortable, and well equipped cottage in a pleasant mountain setting. She provided timely updates when public utilities had a minor, area wide, blip and demonstrated overall concern that we were comfortable at all times and ensuring our visit was everything we hoped for. If available, we will definitely book this property on our next visit to Asheville.
