About this property

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

Welcome to the Cozy Cottage in the heart of downtown Asheville!

Our Cozy Cottage on Church Street is an Architectural Jewel nestled among the few historical homes that line this charming street.

We are the only licensed 'Whole House' (stand alone house, not an apartment in a high-rise) rental in Downtown Historic Asheville! You will enjoy the entire house to yourselves! Whether you are a group of friends, a family, old classmates, art or nature lovers, a study group, foodies, or golf buddies, this is the downtown home that offers everything you may need to refresh, re-unite and build wonderful memories together. This is cottage is the perfect place for 2 to 3 couples, a small or large family or a group of friends (4 separate beds).

Our charming cottage offers plenty of free parking in the rear. No need to drive into downtown and search for an exceedingly rare parking space as most restaurants, shops, galleries and museums are only a short walk away.

Our guests love spending time on our shaded and relaxing large front porch, a great place to visit with each other, enjoy a cup of coffee in the morning or a glass of wine in the evening. The porch overlooks a small front yard with an artfully designed Mountain Laurel fence. The large back patio offers plenty of seating to enjoy a meal outdoors or just to hang out together. If you prefer to eat in and relax in the warmth of the adjoining dining room, enjoy our fully functional kitchen (large French Door refrigerator, dishwasher, stove, oven, microwave and plenty of cabinets and utensils for you to use). The living room offers a cozy environment for reading, movies, games or just visiting with your friends and family. The house has two Smart TVs (SLING subscription), both with a DVD player. The cottage has 2 bathrooms. The second floor bathroom has a Jacuzzi tub, the downstairs bathroom has a shower and is equipped with a washer and dryer for you to use.

This 120 year old historical cottage has been completely restored in 2005 and is equipped with all the amenities of modern living yet keeping the ambiance of yesteryear. All new plumbing, electrical, HVAC, roofing - our cottage is in perfect shape. We added a brand new large walk-in shower to the Master Bath and a brand new (Feb.2023) custom tiled shower to the second bathroom. The heart of pine wooden floors, stair railings and pocket doors are original to the house and have been beautifully refinished.

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 and 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 Inn'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. 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 and coffee shops, unique boutique shopping, award winning art galleries, quaint grocery stores, museums, theaters, architecturally delightful buildings and historically significant monuments and landmarks. 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 provide a clean and safe environment for you to enjoy, a true home away from home.

We look forward to seeing you soon.

Cousins weekend
Great property. Need additional blankets for bedrooms. Shampoo in the bathrooms. Throw blankets for living room. All the passwords given were different. Signal for the tv kept buffering. These are all small things, but would improve the stay.

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.

About the host

Hosted by Terri & Carl

Host profile image
We love Asheville & have been visiting for over 20 years! Eventually, we decided to purchase a home away from home which we lovingly restored and furnished. We are delighted to share this beautiful cottage with others interested in the beauty and splendor of the mountains and the vibrant lifestyle of downtown Asheville.

Why they chose this property

Love Asheville & love the downtown! We consider Asheville our 2nd home and visit as often as possible. We love the beauty and climate of the mountains and enjoy the eclectic and vibrant lifestyle that is Asheville.

What makes this property unique

We are the only licensed 'Whole House' (stand alone house, not an apartment) rental in Downtown Historic Asheville! The Cozy Cottage is literally right in the heart of it all! You are staying 'downtown' in the middle of all the excitement, yet just a couple blocks off Pack Square, the heart of downtown, on a charming, well manicured one-way street. You get to experience everything that Asheville has to offer, then retire to the comforts of your relaxing & welcoming cottage. Most other rentals are either "in the vicinity" of downtown and will require driving and searching for a rare parking space or are located in a building complex and offered as an apartment or condo. Our charming cottage is all to yourselves and offers plenty of free parking in the rear of the house.

Our cottage has a large shaded front porch and a large back porch, an advantage that most hotels and apartments can not offer.
