Cool breezes in the summer and the gorgeous color in the fall are just two of the reasons to vacation at Buttercup Cottage in Historic Saluda, NC. This cozy mountain cottage has 2 bedrooms (one with king bed and one with two twins), one bath, living room with gas fireplace, Satellite TV, DVR, free WiFi, and fully equipped dine-in kitchen. There is also a large deck with gas grill for 'al fresco' dining. And we are a non-smoking facility.

We are pet friendly with prior notice (dogs only please) and are happy to welcome furry guests. We ask that they be on flea treatment and be up-to-date on shots.
Only a few minutes walk to Main Street, Saluda where you can find restaurants, unique craft shops, antiques, a wine store, bakery, ice cream, a grocery/butcher and an old fashioned general store.

Buttercup Cottage is clean, neat , and cozy. Not only did the host leave us delicious breakfast items to start our days (juice, milk, eggs , butter, bakery bread and homemade jam!), but also a fabulous tabulated notebook with catagories including how to set heat/air, work the tv, restaurants in Saluda, medical care, pet care, local grocery sources and sources in nearby Hendersonville: all with thorough directions! This property also includes a great deck area, so peaceful. I highly recommend Buttercup Cottage to anyone who wants to spend a cozy local place in Saluda, NC.

Great stay in Buttercup Cottage!
Charming cottage in a charming town. The cottage was extremely well equipped including eggs, milk, juice, bread and jam. Everything was very clean and the simplified check-in process was very easy. The location was fantastic as it's walking distance to downtown Saluda and a very easy pretty, drive to adjacent towns. Asheville and Hendersonville are easy to get to for day trips. We also found very nice hiking trails in the vicinity. The hosts offered helpful recommendations for dining and provided extensive information on the surrounding area. We hope to return in several months to see the extensive gardens surrounding the cottage. Great stay!

Pleasant stay at Buttercup Cottage
First of all, thank you Dan & Marti for making our stay a wonderful experience. We greatly appreciated your understanding and accommodation of our sensitivities to cleaning chemicals and scented products. It was also quite a treat to have access to your garden. We made some great stir fry with your vegies and herbs. Everything was nicely labeled and organized, with plenty of hooks for hats and jackets. This is a great location and a quick 10 minute or so walk to downtown. Thanks again!

About the host

Host profile image
Originally purchased for a summer getaway. When we retired to Saluda and built our new home, we kept the cottage for family and friends to use when visiting. Later, we decided to open it for short time rentals, so we spruced it up, bought new beds and here we are.

Why they chose this property

We love Saluda! We live here and love sharing with visitors this special place called Saluda.

What makes this property unique

Short easy walk to Main Street Saluda.
Located in a quiet neighborhood, on a dead-end street, we are one of the few truly dog friendly accommodations in Saluda....and we have a yard.
Many of our guests love the deck where they can enjoy their morning coffee or a cocktail while grilling at dinner time. Deck is designed with gate to allow furry guests free access with their humans. We have an extensive summer garden and share the bounty with our guests...they are welcome to pick their own fruits and veggies...can't get fresher than that.
