Historic Private Cottage in the Heart of Downtown on Charming Church Street

This charming cottage is located in the heart of downtown on beautiful Church Street. Our guests love spending time both inside the cottage and on the large font porch that overlooks a well manicured front yard. Whether you have a group of friends or just your family, this is the private downtown home that offers everything you need to build wonderful memories. Most restaurants, shops, galleries, theaters and museums are within a short walking distance.

We offer a rare bonus for downtown with plenty of paved parking for you & your entourage behind our home. We can accommodates up to 4 cars in the rear of the cottage.

This 120 year old historical cottage has been completely restored in 2005 and partially remodeled in 2023 (large custom-tiled Master Bath walk-in-shower, custom tiled shower in second bathroom, new roof) and repainted in 2024. It is equipped with all the amenities of modern living yet keeping the authentic ambience of yesteryear. The heart of pine wooden floors, stair railings and pocket doors are original to the house and have been beautifully refinished.

The kitchen is fully functional if you prefer to eat in and relax in the warmth of the adjoining dining room. The living room offers a relaxing environment for reading, movies, games or just visiting with your friends and family. The house has two Smart TV's, each with a DVD player. We have a subscription for SLING (Live TV, 40 plus channels). Guests can use their own log ins for other Streaming apps.

We are only a short 7 minute drive to the Biltmore Estate and many other highly sought after local attractions. The Biltmore Estate, built by George Vanderbilt, is the largest privately owned home in America. The Estate is world famous for replanting their splendid gardens each season. They own one of the most amazing private art collections in the world, their winery and culinary tantalizing restaurants are highly acclaimed. If visiting Asheville in December a visit to the 'Christmas at Biltmore Estate' is a must to experience. The Grove Park Inn has an amazing 'One of a Kind Nationwide Gingerbread Exhibition & Competition' held every December and the Grove Park's enormous double stone fireplaces are to be enjoyed with a steaming cup of hot chocolate. (I promise it is an unforgettable experience!!) We have made both of these events our annual Christmas traditions since discovering Asheville in 2003. The Grove Park Inn has one of the finest spas in the world and is an astonishing stone structure built at the turn of the century.
We are within walking distance to the newly redesigned Pack Square Plaza that enjoys outdoor concerts and festivals throughout the seasons. Downtown is full of wonderful diverse restaurants, unique boutique shopping, award winning art galleries, quaint grocery stores, museums, theaters, architecturally delightful buildings, and interesting art sculptures. All of this and much more are just minutes from our lovely cottage enjoyed by foot.

Hiking, mountain biking, canoeing, rafting, winter skiing, snow boarding and motoring the Blue Ridge Parkway at any season is a delight. Explore and enjoy Asheville to fully experience why it is rated one of top tourist destinations. We look forward to seeing you soon.

Wonderful Cottage for an Ashville Getaway

This lovely home was a perfect place for a mom and daughters getaway in Ashville NC. This home is in a lovely neighborhood and walking distance from downtown restaurants, cocktail bars, coffee shops and even a spa! The large front covered porch and furnished porch off the kitchen made easy to enjoy the outdoors when lounging between activities. If you are looking for a great place to stay this is well worth it. Thank you to the hosts for providing everything we needed to have a great weekend.

The Perfect Asheville Basecamp

Family stayed for a few days in this cozy, ideally located home. Home was beautiful, beds were comfy, kitchen well stocked, and off-street parking to boot - couldn’t be more ideal. We walked to morning coffee and sandwiches at the bodega, lunch beers just around the corner and the best ice cream sandwiches literally right next door. Highly recommended.

3 high school friends, now in our fifties, get together for an annual girls trip. This comfortable home, and downtown location did not disappoint.

What we expected …….. due to accurate description

My communication with Carl and Terri prior to and during our stay always resulted in a prompt reply. The TV was tricky to operate, directions would have helped. Location was ideal, easy to walk to downtown. We tried a few restaurants on the list of recommendations and they were very good. We would recommend the cozy cottage to others!

Terri and Carl, what a wonderful home! This was a girl's trip with seven ladies, and the house could not have been more perfect. Morning coffee and evening cocktails were spent on the exceptional porch. We walked to rooftop bars, breweries, shopping, and restaurants - PERFECT location. The two bathrooms were not an issue at all. Thank you so much - I hope to be back again!

Perfect Location

The location of this house was wonderful for walking around downtown Asheville. It didn't seem to us that the listing saying it would be comfy for 8 wasn't accurate. There is one good sized bathroom upstairs with the bedrooms and one small one downstairs. Two of the bedrooms have multiple beds, but that wouldn't work for all groups. There are only three bedrooms.

Amazing location, comfortable house

The location can't be beat. We walked everywhere, only took out the car (BTW the parking is ample for at least three cars) to go to Biltmore Village and the Craft museum and Grove Park Inn. The kitchen was well supplied and easy to cook in. Lots of supplies so no need to buy basics, there was even coffee (we brought our own but if we had run out) foil and lots of spices. The most amazing thing were the fireflies and birds in the front garden! There are lots of bird feeders, if I had found bird seed to buy I would have reloaded them.

Lovely home and location

The property is beautiful with a welcoming porch, well-appointed kitchen, and comfortable beds. It is a great location to explore all that Asheville has to offer. I highly recommend it. The owners were responsive - we had an issue with the water not going down in the sink (not draining at all), as soon as we arrived. It was a Friday afternoon, and the owners found a plumber who was available to take a look at it that evening and over the weekend if we had any continued problems. Before sending the plumber out, we determined it was a breaker issue, and once the switch was flipped, we were good to go. We appreciated the attention from the owners to ensure that everything was working properly and the time it took to find someone to come out over the weekend. If I were to visit Asheville again, I would certainly look to stay here again! There is also plenty of off street parking and two beautiful bathrooms. It was also extremely clean.
