About this property

Tranquil Mountain Cottage (Wheelchair Accessible)

Surrounded by beautiful farmland, plan your vacation at this cottage fifteen minutes from downtown Asheville. This two bedroom/two bathroom house was built to accommodate people with disabilities. Even if you don't need the additional support, this home is a lovely place to rest, relax and rejuvenate. Nestled in the Blue Ridge Mountains, this cottage lies in a family estate that spans 17 acres. You will be amazed by the sounds of a small family farm (cows, chickens, goats, and a nearby pet turkey) and astonished by the nightly firefly/star-filled sky. Meanwhile, there are many attractions, like hiking and waterfalls, kayaking or tubing, skiing or snowboarding, or the Biltmore estate, or city life in Asheville, all so close by. Guests will have space and privacy, but the host is nearby should a need arise.
A special bonus is a nursery with full-sized crib in one of the huge walk-in closets. The kitchen is fully equipped, as well as having a washer/dryer room. WiFi is provided with a smart TV and DVD player. For added pleasure, there is a large selection of books, puzzles, movies, and games. Enjoy walks in the quiet neighborhood when not exploring the many, many attractions in nearby Asheville, Maggie's Valley, Blue Ridge Parkway, Pisgah National Forest, and more. In the cooler months, curl up next to the fireplace and relax. In the warmer months, enjoy both a covered front and a back porch with seating.
Accommodations include two queen beds plus a queen futon for extra sleeping. Linens and towels are included for convenience.
This Tranquil Mountain Cottage is truly a neat, comfortable and relaxing home close to so many other adventures.

beautiful setting

The house was nice and as expected. Clean for the most part but blinds in the bathroom were dirty and under the stove hood was dirty but the rest was clean . The stove should be replaced, it doesn't function totally . The setting was very nice and the host seemed very friendly .

Perfect Valley Cottage

We had a wonderful experience staying in this little cottage. It was just as the vrbo described and nestled in a beautiful valley. It was extremely clean and i felt comfortable there with my two middle school aged boys and elderly mother. Located only 15 minutes from Biltmore this was a quiet place to rest but bot far from restaurants and shopping. And there were goats!

Nice place for a family stay

Great location in a quiet, rural neighborhood on a dead-end, one-lane street. Great place to push my 20-month old granddaughter in her stroller. She also loved feeding the goats in the barn behind the house. Host was super nice. Convenient to anything in the Asheville area, including the Blue Ridge Parkway, only about 45 minutes from Cherokee.

Exceptional place to stay while visiting Asheville!

A very peaceful, relaxing place to call home when visiting Asheville. Extremely convenient to the area’s attractions and a fabulous super market, Ingle’s, just a few minutes away. Elaine is a wonderful host! Our adult son needs a wheelchair to get around, and we found this cottage very accommodating for all his needs. We had four adults plus our son and had ample room. We enjoyed watching the cows, goats and chickens graze and entertaining us.

Felt like home

We've stayed at several different rental properties in the Asheville area, and this is easily one of our favorites - it feels like staying at the home of a friend, not a hotel or a condo. If you want cookie-cutter, recently-flipped amd all-grey color scheme, this place is NOT for you. If you're looking for quiet comfort, a HOME with character, and a short easy drive to any necessity, then this is your spot! (If I could add anything to my wishlist, it would be a few additional pots and pans and cooking equipment, but who goes to Asheville to eat at home, you might ask!)

Asheville weekend

Great price and location for a short weekend trip. Older house but it provided all of our needs and worked for our family. Not too far from grocery or other needs and a short drive to Asheville.

Peaceful and relaxing

We came to the area to enjoy the fall color, but we needed to find a place that was completely accessible to my husband, who is mobility challenged. This house completely met out needs; but even if that had not been a necessity for us, we would have thoroughly enjoyed it’s quiet and peaceful location. It will be our go-to place if we are ever in the area again.

Lovely spot in the country - yet close to town

So incredibly peaceful! Close enough to all that Asheville has to offer, yet an idyllic rural setting. Friendly neighbors who walk most evenings with their dogs or just one another along the road. House is PERFECT for those with mobility challenges - everything is ramped, there is a walk/roll in shower with a pull down bench. Clean, nicely detailed, friendly and responsive host. I've stayed here twice so far - and imagine I will be back again. Great for one or two couples, an individual, or a small family. My 6 yr old grandson loved staying there with me last summer!

Beautiful and restful

We enjoyed our stay. The house is very clean, cozy and comfortable. We enjoyed sitting on the front porch and enjoy the fall colors. Seeing the animals was a highlight also. Elaine is a tremendous and caring hostess. We enjoyed getting to meet and talk with you Elaine. We highly recommend this rental. If we are ever in the area again this will be our choice.

A lovely home - suited two grandparents and 6 yr old grandson perfectly. Could have easily had 2 more adults or another child or two space-wise. So very clean, beautiful setting, friendly neighborhood. Sitting on the front porch as the day cooled into evening was a favorite part of our stay. Stellar!

Long weekend getaway!

The property was exactly as shown on the VRBO site. We got in later than expected and Elaine was so nice and came over to help us get into lock box. My husband is in a wheelchair and this home was very accessible for him. The accessible shower was perfect. We had difficulty with space around commode but was able to work around. Thank you Elaine for sharing your lovely home. We highly recommend this home for people with mobility issues!

Overnight mountain getaway

Truly wish we had the opportunity to spend more days in and around Asheville this weekend. This home was perfect for what we wanted—a quiet getaway within a short distance of downtown Asheville and lots of things to do nearby. Comfortable and welcoming home. Would definitely stay again if we get the chance!
