Other Things to Note
Candler Cottage isn’t just a place to stay — it’s a little love letter to the mountains, to creativity, and to the slow, easy rhythms of life here in Western North Carolina.
Everything in this home is curated with creativity and individuality, a reflection of Asheville’s authentic nature. All of the art on the walls is made by local artists, and every renovation was completed by a local business and crew. We wanted it to feel authentic to Asheville, not touristy — a space that mirrors the city’s hub for creative potential.

The cottage is tucked away just outside Asheville but close enough to everything. Here, you can feel the spaciousness of a quiet retreat while still having easy access to all the experiences this area offers.

We designed it to feel like a home you can truly arrive at, sink into, and forget about the world for a while. Sip coffee in the morning sunlight, read a book by the fire, soak under the stars in the hot tub, or just watch the clouds drift over the mountains.

Every item in the cottage has a story: the locally made artwork, the cozy throws, the vintage touches — and even the books. We hand-selected each used book from a local used book store, blending historic Asheville with our personal favorites. You’ll find a mix of history, spirituality, fiction, and books for inner discovery — little invitations to slow down and get lost in a story while you’re here.

Candler Cottage is our invitation to you: slow down, breathe, explore, and feel at home. Walk the trails, watch the sun set behind the ridges, taste the flavors of local eateries, and return each evening to a space that holds warmth, comfort, and the quiet magic of the mountains.

We hope it becomes your little haven too — a place to rest, connect, make memories, and carry a bit of these mountains with you when you leave.
