1945 Farmhouse Cottage Near Asheville & The Biltmore Estate – Pup friendly!
About this cottage rental
Situated in Woodfin, this charming cottage for $258 per night is a fantastic option for your next break. SWEET RENOVATED 1945 FARMHOUSE Not too long ago, our sweet Little Yellow Cottage was a diamond in the rough. It had been in disrepair for decades, with bowed walls, broken cabinets, and old carpeting. But when we saw the sunlit rooms and lifted the old carpet to find beautiful aged oak and pine floors, we knew that with a lot of love, creativity, and elbow grease (and a bit of cash) she would shine again and become the beautiful Cottage we knew she could be. --------------------------------- NOTE: Please take your time and read our listing thoroughly - it's packed with helpful information. Most of your questions will be answered here. Once you book, I will send you a PDF of our very-informative "Welcome Book" - it's full with great info about "Yellow", the area, local restaurants, grocery stores, hiking trails, etc. (There's also a printed copy at the cottage for your reference during your stay.) --------------------------------- Our sweet Little Yellow Cottage is situated on a large private park-like yard with shade trees, a large fire pit area with plenty of seating, and a big yard for the kids to have a game of kick ball. The new covered porch with romantic lighting, new HVAC, vintage farm-style decor, beautiful new bathroom, lighting and fans, refinished floors, new laundry room with new washer and dryer, and all new furnishings, make the Cottage feel beautiful, new and clean. From the oak kitchen counters we created from antique truck beds to the refinished oak and pine floors, Tom and I worked hard to bring our vision to life so our guests could enjoy this little gem of Asheville. It's owner-managed and we take pride in doing all the little things to make your stay an amazing experience... a Welcome Gift, treats for your pup if you should bring them along, and more. There's a level driveway for easy parking – rare for these parts. Near Asheville and many local attractions, or comfortable to enjoy just staying in. LOCATION! LOCATION! LOCATION! Our Cottage is approximately 15 minutes to the city, another 10 to the entrance of the Biltmore Estate, and about 20 minutes total to just about any wonderful hiking trail and attractions in the Asheville area. About as close as you can get and still have a whole-house rental! Perfect! CLEAN This property is Fresh & Clean! Our Cottage is professionally cleaned thoroughly and thoughtfully after each stay with no same-day turns. So, if you're looking for someplace beautiful, comfortable, CLEAN, and private to get away from the hustle and bustle... you found it! BEDS There's comfy beds for 4, but if you'd like to bring your own air mattress and bedding, there's plenty of floor space in the living room to sleep 2 more. SWEET BATHROOM Did I mention the beautiful new bathroom? Just cast your eyes on those photos! It’s a beautiful all-new space with toilet (of course) and pedestal sink, large antique mirror, frameless shower door, spacious shower with built-in seat, and shiplap ceiling. DRIVEWAY Unlike many other properties in the area, our wide level driveway is easy for navigation and parking. Inclement weather is rarely an issue. That's a reassuring feature if you've ever tried driving up a steep WNC driveway in one of our winter snowstorms! SUPPLIES Stocked to get you started... paper towels, tp, coffee, sugar, soaps, and more. If you need more, grocery stores are minutes away. WELCOME GIFT I love to offer a Welcome Gift for staying at our Little Yellow Cottage – an assortment of delicious trail mix packets will be waiting for you in the Welcome area. They're great for a quick snack upon arrival, or to take along for a hike. Enjoy! For those of you bringing your pup, we leave a few doggy treats, a set of bowls in case you forget yours, and a doggy bed so they're just as comfortable as you are. STAY "HOME" If you'd like to stay cozied up in your beautiful secluded getaway, grab a sweet tea and enjoy the mountain breezes on the covered porch. Or maybe make s’mores around the big ol’ fire pit while enjoying the laughter of friends and family. Want to keep it simple… relax in the living room with a good book or watch a movie on the 60” smart TV with cable channels – bring your Netflix login! EXPLORE Feeling the need to get out a bit? Visit the nearby grounds and gardens of the magnificent Biltmore Estate, drive the scenic Blue Ridge Parkway, or hike to one of the area's magnificent waterfalls. So much to do, or nothing at all. The choice is yours! It's a short drive to Asheville and many local adventures and attractions, but comfortable to enjoy just staying in and relaxing. Use the House as home base while you ski Wolf Ridge Ski Resort, hike off the Blue Ridge Parkway, kayak the French Broad, tube the Green, tour the Biltmore Estate, sample the local shops, restaurants and breweries... whatever makes you smile! ************************* An important note: Even though it’s a rare, in this uncertain time of extreme weather and illnesses a guest may need to cancel shortly before they check in. For that reason, we strongly recommend purchasing trip insurance wherever you book. Due to circumstances beyond our control, we (all VRBO owners) may be unable to refund your late cancellations. VRBO offers you their insurance when you book, however feel free to investigate other options. A little spent now could save your much later. Please refer to VRBO for more information.** I'm always watching out for my guests, even before you reserve.

We enjoyed our quiet stay in the Little Yellow Cottage. It had all the amenities and furnishings needed and more. It is located just outside of Asheville and is also close enough to access the city within a short drive. The host has lots of local knowledge that is in a well written Welcome Book. It will guide you to restaurants, natural wonders, and activities to experience during your stay. The host is very responsive and made us feel welcome, highly recommended!

The little yellow cottage was perfect for our stay in Asheville. The kitchen had everything we needed to make a few quick meals, the living room was great for relaxing and watching tv, and the bed was very comfortable.
We had our dog with us, so we appreciated the nice size of the yard. It's not fully fenced in, but large enough to walk around with a dog on a leash.
The cottage is in a quiet neighborhood but is a quick drive to everything the city offers. We also went to Black Mountain, which was only about a 25-minute drive.
The owner was very communicative and left us a sweet sign and goodies for our arrival! We'll definitely be staying here again!

The cottage was perfect for our Thanksgiving getaway. Great yard for the pups and only 15 minutes from downtown Asheville. Kristen made us feel welcome and provided a ton of helpful information about the area.

We had a wonderful stay at the yellow cottage with our pup Scout. We were welcomed by a handwritten chalkboard note, a bottle of Biltmore wine and doggie treats. The cottage was quiet, very clean and the perfect size for the three of us! We especially loved having cocktails on the back porch and made s’mores over the fire pit. Communication was great with Kris, which is a plus in my book!!

The LYC was perfect for my sister’s wedding weekend! It was minutes away from the venue, tucked into the mountain but still very accessible. I felt at-home as soon as I walked through the door. It was the perfect place to lay my head each night after each day’s wedding activities. The cottage was very cozy, and also stocked with little odds & ends that came in handy. I was there for almost a week, and truly wish I’d had more time there. If I’m ever in Asheville again, I will absolutely be checking to see if it’s available!!

The house was perfect, it was set up with a grill and great fire pit. We were visiting nearby family but this house allowed us to have family over with us sometimes also. Very private setting.

This place was perfect for my wife and I and our two dogs! Beautiful little spot about 15 mins from Asheville downtown and 5 minutes from the river. Would definitely go back again!

A wonderful little house where you will be made to feel very welcome! Outside of town enough to be very quiet but really a short drive to either the city or the surrounding countryside. Extremely clean and well decorated, the owners have provided everything you could possibly need. I highly recommend choosing this house if available!

Such a cute little place! The Biltmore wine and welcome message was a very kind gesture as well :) Everything was as described, very clean and well appointed. Check-in was super easy and Kris was a very responsive and helpful host! The neighborhood was quiet and easy to navigate through. Location is perfect...away from the hustle and bustle of downtown just enough, and yet only a ten minute drive to get there when the mood strikes. Would definitely stay here again next time we are in the area :) Thank you!

Comfortable and exciting. A storm knocked out the power for 256 residents in our area and our hosts had flashlights ready along with detailed reports concerning the repairs. We like the house at 65 degrees at night and it held its own throughout the outage. I must tell you that the place was impeccably decorated and immaculate. We grilled out and made salmon one night for our kids and family who live right across the river. We were glad to find a place that was comfortable and so very convenient to everything. Never mind that we couldn’t ask for better more supportive hosts.

Kristen went above and beyond!!! The cottage is simply charming and spotless. And Kristen was a concierge of information—a welcome wagon. Loved our stay!!! Even our dog felt welcomed with dog beds and biscuits!

Little Yellow Cottage
We stayed at this cottage for several weeks (while our house finished being built) - the cottage was clean and welcoming and it had everything we needed. The porch/fire pit area was a great spot to hang out with our pup! If we had any questions, the owners always responded very quickly. Thanks for everything!

Great place to stay.
We loved our stay at this property. The home is clean and comfortable and has everything you need. The porch and fire pit area was such a nice place to rest and hang out in between adventures in and around Asheville. Home is just a short drive from the city and the mountains. The owners were very responsive.

The Little Yellow Cottage was AWESOME!
The Little Yellow Cottage was a great place to stay for me and my family. It was a cute little cottage that had everything we needed to have a wonderful Thanksgiving. We loved the fire pit and the location was a short drive to downtown Asheville. Kris and Tom really made us feel at home and were available to any questions. The bedrooms were comfortable and roomy and we really enjoyed the size of the huge shower. The fully equipped kitchen was just the right size for all of our eating prep needs. We really loved our stay at the Little Yellow Cottage and can't wait to get back sometime next
summer. Kudo's to Kris and Tom for an awesome stay!

Kris is an amazing VRBO hostess. From virtually holding our hand, turning on the patio lights and guiding us into the property because it was late at night and dark to personally coming over to start the washing machine that I couldn't figure out. The little yellow cottage was just perfect for me and a friend and my two little pup pups. It was even better than in the pictures. Must eat at Vinnies Italian restaurant. Prepare to wait as it is a very popular place. You can pick up a btl of wine at 1/2 price on Mondays 😁 visited Dupont park for wonderful waterfall views and blue ridge parkway for more panaramic views. All found in the guest book left by Kris. Will be back to Asheville and the sweet little yellow cottage!!

Our stay in Asheville was wonderful from start to finish! Kris was a very attentive host. The cottage was clean and welcoming. We were within 15-20 minutes of everything we wanted to see: downtown restaurants, Biltmore, the arts district. Our favorite gem was River Rhapsody Brewing which was within five minutes. Their beer was excellent and they had Iron & Oak BBQ that rivaled any we'd had at home (Texas). Thank you, Kris for providing such a lovely "home away from home" !
