About this property

Sweet & cozy cottage with a mix of modern & vintage style awaits you!

Enjoy all that Asheville has to offer from our charming 1930’s bungalow. Recently renovated inside & out this sweet & cozy space features an eclectic mix of vintage, industrial & farmhouse touches. We tried to capture AVL's artistic energy through some of the finishes, artwork and furniture pieces that were handcrafted locally. Two guest rooms sleep up to four people and are comfortably appointed with beds and soft linens that were chosen to delight and encourage some great snuggling.

There is a private driveway for one car but for those times that you prefer to leave your car or bike behind, an Uber or Lyft ride to downtown is just $10-12. Less than 5 minutes to Beaver Lake & UNCA, 10-15 minutes to Biltmore Estate, Omni Grove Park Inn, Highland Brewery and Blue Ridge Parkway. There's lots to see and do.

Two guest suites – Guest suite one features a luxurious queen-sized upholstered bed and a calm color palette. Guest suite two offers two twin beds with toppers for “sink-into-the-bed” comfort. Twin beds can be pushed together for a king sized retreat.

Asheville has an amazing food & beer scene, but if you prefer to eat in, the kitchen is stocked with all the cookware necessary to make a gourmet meal. Butcher block countertops, apron-front sink, handcrafted island with live edges, induction stove top, microwave oven, dishwasher, garbage disposal, Kuerig coffee machine, and toaster. If grilling is your thing, spill out into the large deck and enjoy the spring weather as you barbecue on the gas grill. Ingles Supermarket is less than one mile down the road and Trader Joe’s is close by, too.

After a day of exploring and hiking trails, kick back and enjoy the 42" smart TV to stream apps like Netflix and Hulu or use the super fast WiFi on your mobile device.

Stylish single shower with dual multi speed shower heads.

Our “Little Gem” is in a safe family neighborhood that is up and coming; 10 minutes away from some of the most awesome eateries, breweries and music venues in downtown Asheville. It’s a great base location to explore all that Asheville and the surrounding areas have to offer.

FULL DISCLOSURE: The house is situated very close to the highway and as such, there can be road noise. We take the comfort of our guests seriously and have installed sound machines in the guest rooms to help block out ambient noise. The sound machines have various options of “white noise” known to promote sleep. We also provide complimentary wellness amenities that include a lavender scented sleep mask, cushy ear plugs and slippers.

If you’re looking for a mountain retreat, this is not the place for you.

If you want THOUGHTFUL AMENITIES, CHARMING INTERIORS and a CONVENIENT LOCATION that is central to all that Asheville has to offer, look no further and make your booking now. :-)

And finally, we use home automation technology to help us operate more efficiently. The August smart lock and keypad, Nest video door bell, Nest fire and carbon monoxide alarm, and Nest thermostat are all encompassed in the system. The door bell has an integrated camera so that we can answer the door remotely. We respect the privacy of our guests. As such, there are NO CAMERAS IN THE INTERIOR of the house. The only camera is integrated into the bell on the exterior of the house.

Asheville christmas

I was nervous about returning to Asheville post storm but found the area recovering, thriving and I was only too happy to be part of it. The Little Gem Cottage was cozy and perfectly outfitted for my comfort. Road noise was a concern but was not an issue Sound machines made sleep easy. I would stay again.

Sweet little cabin stay (and too short)

The hosts were always ahead of the game on keeping us informed. The house is very clean and offers everything you could possibly need for your stay in the Asheville area. The neighborhood had a few sweet spots as well, including a fun little brew pub with outdoor games and some nice shops. I wish we had more time but were only softening the blow for our business the next day. Hopefully we'll be able to visit again in the near future.

Adorable little cottage

There were three of us but was supposed to be 4 would have been a little smaill for four women to share a bathroom, but a family with two children would have been fine. Everything was clean and maticulously decorated. Many thoughtfull items like ear plugs, face mask, snacks, water since the Asheville water is still not drinkable, they provided a notebook with places to eat and things to do in the area and instructions on how to use everything, as well as some throw blankets for the guests. The owner was very responsive and friendly. It was about ten minutes from downtown Ashville which was quite nice. I would definitely come back.

Great place to stay so we could spend the weekend at Biltmore. More space than a hotel room and gave us extra time to sit and chat. Convenient location, lots of little touches, we went to one of the restaurant recommendations - excellent.

Sisters Getaway

Loved your home, just as I would have decorated! Perfect location for visit to everything Asheville! Difficulty getting into home, didn’t realize there was a back door/front door option on the app. Never could figure out how to put air on, so just turned heat way down. Took 3 sisters to figure out how to turn shower on. All in all great visit, time spent with sisters visiting beautiful Asheville, bringing my hubby back!

Very Comfortable

This property is very comfortable including the bed,bedding, sitting area, kitchen and front porch. The renovation is nicely done especially if you like a modern farmhouse aesthetic. Probably nicer than the pictures. The owner has really made an effort to think about guest comfort. They were also very responsive and accommodating. The location is very convenient to shops,major highways and Asheville as well as all points North of the city - it is not a "charming neighborhood" type of location. It was a great launch pad for outdoor activity around Asheville.

Exactly as stated and more

The House was so cozy and welcoming. There were snacks and drinks, laundry soap, bathroom necessities and all the comforts of home. The beds were so comfortable and felt like sleeping on a cloud. The slippers at the door were appreciated as well. Communication with the hosts was stellar. An experience we would love to have again. Thank you so much!!

Great getaway!

A friend and I went to Asheville for a girls visit to Biltmore Estates. Our stay at the property was perfect! The location was close enough to downtown and Biltmore Estates for an easy drive. Communication with our host was great! Easy parking for one vehicle, but it would be tight parking for two. The property was thoughtfully appointed and we would stay again!

Fantastic Thanksgiving Getaway

Came for a cozy Thanksgiving getaway with my two daughters, ages 15 and 10. The house was perfect for us! Plenty of space to be together but comfortable. Very well-appointed, owners accessible, good location. The parking was super tight so glad we didn’t drive or SUV. Would love to stay there again!
