Location
Restaurants, a coffee house, bagel shop, bars, and Mars Hill University are within a 10-minute walk along Main Street (note that the sidewalk begins about 3 minutes into the walk). It's a genuine small town with real character — and easy access to Asheville when you want it.

Layout
The living room and all three bedrooms are on the main floor. Each bedroom has a closet and drawer space — two rooms have queen-size beds, the third has a full-size bed. White sheets, pillows, and quilts are provided, and the mattresses and pillows have hypoallergenic protective covers.

The living room features a 49 ultra-high-def Smart TV. A second Smart TV is in the first bedroom.

Downstairs you'll find the dining room, kitchen, bathroom, and laundry room. The dining room seats six and includes a dedicated workspace in the corner.

Kitchen & Essentials
The kitchen is stocked with everything you need to prepare meals — pots, pans, bakeware, cooking utensils, and tableware. Appliances include a full-size refrigerator, oven, microwave, countertop dishwasher, toaster, blender, teapot, and Keurig coffee maker (prefer a drip coffee pot just ask!). Pantry basics include enough coffee for 1–2 days, tea, sugar, ketchup, mustard, cooking oil, salt, pepper, garlic powder, parsley, cinnamon, basil, and oregano.

The laundry room includes a full-size washer and dryer, with detergent and dryer sheets provided.

Bathroom
The bathroom has a bathtub with shower doors. White bath and hand towels are provided, along with a hairdryer and starter soap, shampoo, and conditioner.

Comfort & Climate
Two mini-split heat pumps provide efficient heating and air conditioning for year-round comfort.

Outdoor Features
Built into the side of a hill, the cottage has a large fenced backyard — perfect for pets — with seasonal forest/mountain views. The covered front porch features rocking chairs, a loveseat, and side tables. A brick patio in the backyard has a table for outdoor dining. Parking accommodates up to 3 cars.

    Such a lovely, relaxing stay! Front porch, flowers, pet treats and comfort. Super easy check in and prompt, conscientious communication. My wife and I and three older sisters felt right at home, as did our two small pooches. A short, easy walk to town made this place a convenient gem!

    We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this home. The house was IMMACULATE and very well furnished. The host truly thought of everything. It is a short walk to downtown which was very convenient for our visit. We hope to stay here again in the future!

    Wonderful cottage. We came up for a few days to volunteer and it was perfect! Clean, close to dining and Mars Hill University. Access is easy and so was parking. We will be back!
