About this cottage rental

Nestled in Historic Montford, this charming cottage for £138 per night is a great option for your next trip. Why get a cookie-cutter hotel room when you can enjoy a one-bedroom cottage in one of Asheville's most charming neighborhoods? Just a five-minute walk from downtown, this beautifully renovated 1914 home is nestled next to a grove of trees and is handily close to a local café for that morning cup. The cozy and private bungalow is ideal for a romantic getaway, a writing retreat, or a family vacation. The cottage, located on a quiet street with a private driveway that has room for two cars, is decorated with Oriental carpets from the owner’s travels in the Middle East, Africa, and Central Asia as well as original artwork and an extensive book collection. Completely refurbished, it boasts an open-plan kitchen with granite countertops and everything you need to whip up a gourmet meal from Asheville's famous farmers markets; a library with desk, ergonomic chair, and reading chair; a bedroom with a comfortable queen bed and a walk-in closet; and a bathroom with bidet and open shower (and a deliciously heated floor). The living room is bright and sunny, and there is a push-button fireplace for chilly mountain nights. Along with WiFi, there is a Smart TV lets you access Netflix or Amazon, as well as local channels (no need for cable in this town where there is so much to do). The fully enclosed backyard with a fountain, deck, table and chairs, and gas grill affords a private and spacious outdoor environment for you and your pets to enjoy, and the rocker on the sunny front porch is the perfect place to catch up on your reading. Or head out on foot to take a city tour from the Asheville Visitor Center one block down the street, or choose from dozens of restaurants, bars, theaters, and galleries without worrying about parking. You are just a short stroll away! You can also venture to Biltmore House, the Grove Park Inn, or the Blue Ridge Parkway, all located within a 10-minute drive. Ziplines, hiking trails, canoeing, and white-water rafting are within easy reach. But you may find Corner Cottage hard to leave!

So happy with our accommodations - this adorable, welcoming cottage made for the perfect comfy base camp from which to explore Asheville. Beautifully decorated with lovely art throughout and a private, fenced garden patio retreat - so much nicer than staying in a hotel. You’ll feel like a local staying here. It’s in a lovely historic neighborhood - an easy walk to all that downtown Asheville has to offer and easy access to drive to explore everywhere else. Loved and regularly made use of the All Day Darling Diner next door and highly recommend the excellent restaurant around the block - Tall John’s. As good as any of the excellent restaurants we visited in the more “touristy” areas. They’ll be getting awards once the word gets out! Pop into the conveniently located Visitor Center about a half block away and get suggestions on things to do or peruse the binder of suggestions that the thoughtful host has compiled. At the end of the night, you’ll be happy to rest your head on the fluffy pillows in your home away from home for a good night’s sleep. The host very kindly checked in on us to make sure we had what we needed and let us know he was there if we had questions. No need, the little cottage was perfect for our stay.

This is a terrific find. The house is comfortable for two people and offers everything for a fantastic stay. The kitchen and dining room had modern appliances, the den benefited from a unique atmosphere and the fenced backyard was the perfect escape. And best of all, the location is perfect. Walking to the city adds to the value of this location. We truly enjoyed our visit.

The good: Location is great, in a historic neighborhood and walkable to diner next door, grocery stores, and downtown Asheville. The cottage is adorable with a bedroom, office, living room, updated bathroom, well-stocked eat-in and updated kitchen, and a small fenced backyard. The bad: This place would be 5 stars if it were properly cleaned. There was pet fur everywhere (in the bedding, on the floor, on the couch, on the countertops, in the bathroom). I reached out to the owner and they offered to come and vacuum, but what it really needs is an overall deep cleaning. The refrigerator interior, kitchen window frame, and toaster were covered with food residue. The dishes, pots, pans, cups, and silverware were put away in the cabinets dirty, and needed to be cleaned before using. There was human and dog hair all over the bathroom (floor and shower walls). I do hope they take the time to do a proper cleaning because it is the only issue with this house.
