About this property

Open! Romantic Creek View D/T Cottage! Walk to everything! Indoor Firelogs! Cozy

------Hurricane Helene Update: We are OPEN!------

The home is fully operational with power, internet, water/drinking water, and other creature comforts. All major roads into and out of Hot Springs are accessible. Many of the main downtown businesses and the Hot Springs Spa are closed due to flooding, and they are in various stages of rebuilding. The local businesses who are open include our gas station, local Diner, local coffee, Dollar General, and a couple of convenience stores. They would all love your business. Please reach out to us if you have any questions! Inquire about Volunteer Rates.

This sweet 1920's bungalow offers a great place to retreat, unwind, and step back in time. You will find everything you need while you experience the charm of Hot Springs and its proximity to all this area has to offer. From the cottage, you will be able to walk to the Appalachian Trail, natural hot springs spa, local brewery, famous local diner, restaurants, shops, and more. And if you have more of an adventure up your sleeve, you can get to many other trails and destinations along with Asheville in less than an hours drive.

Blue Heron Cottage sits on a bluff above Spring Creek, a renowned fishing stream in the Pisgah National Forest, where you hear the flow of the stream at all times of the day. While relaxing on the deck or within the house with the sliding doors open, you may find time to kick back and just be. A writer and artist dream spot to reinvigorate one's senses. All the modern amenities in a very laid back atmosphere.

The cottage includes 1 spacious bedroom with a King-sized bed. There is a bathroom with a large garden tub and shower combo. The living room has views over the creek and a gas fireplace with a Smart TV for streaming your favorite channels. The kitchen is spacious and offers everything you need to eat in if you choose. Fiber optic internet service has been added so that guests have the best internet option in town. We hope you will consider staying at Blue Heron Cottage.

The cottage rental allows pets with an additional fee. We limit pets to dogs under 50 pounds and 1 dog per rental period.

Hot Springs is a great destination in all seasons! The weather is mild and roads are tended in the winter time, and the Hot Springs Spa is open year-around for hot mineral soaks. Restaurants and shops are open as well, and we love to hike the Lover's Leap trail on cool, sunny days when things are a bit quieter around here.
Summer is a wonderful season to enjoy many things to do outside, including rafting and tubing and venturing up to Max Patch Bald.
Spring sees beautiful mountain wildflowers and hikers traveling through on the Appalachian Trail.
Fall never disappoints with endless potentials to see the trees changing at different elevations and finishing your day with a fire and soak in the natural hot springs or a beer at Big Pillow Brewing.

Smoke Alarm Problem

Accommodations were fine. However, the problem with the smoke alarm was very disruptive, and cause us to lose a nights sleep. As I stated, the alarm began chirping around 1:00 am. It continued to chirp at 15 minute intervals until the owner arrived around 9:00 am. Needless to say, we were extremely tired. This affected our activities for the rest of the day. We believe that we should receive a rebate for a portion of our rental payment.

Well appointed, superb location in quiet neighborhood

Easy check-in. Hosts were very comunicative before arrival. Kitchen and bath stocked with everything you could need to cook, play, and rest. Steps from town yet tucked away. Back deck along the creek was peaceful. The pictures don't the cottage justice. Third visit to the area and by far the best accommodation to date. Will be looking to come back to the area and plan to stay here again. Thank you!

Even more beautiful than pictures show

This was not only a beautiful area but the outside deck is so gorgeous. The view is spectacular. The house itself was very cute and comfortable. We had everything we needed. The only thing that I would say is that if you go when it's hot realize it might be warmer in the house than you like. The AC worked excellent but it is a ductless type AC and you need to use fans to move the cool air into the bedroom. But when we went it was in that load a mid-90s so it was very hot. I would absolutely stay here again. It was very very clean.We enjoyed it so much. They really did think of everything. It was a wonderful experience.

Slice of heaven!

This place is absolutely amazing! We walked to breakfast at the Smokey Mountain diner. Saturdays they serve home made cinnamon rolls a must try! Little coffee shop near by also. Great layer back pizza place within walking distance called Vinal pies. We watched friendly little squirrels play on the deck railings. We drank morning and evening coffee on the porch listening to the river flowing. We went for mineral jacuzzi soak at the Hot Springs spa, which was about 11 minutes away walking. The soak was absolutely amazing Larry enjoyable and relaxing. We will definitely be back again. Best little weekend weekend getaway. You won’t be disappointed booking the blue Heron.

Memorable view of Spring Creek

The Blue Heron Lodge is an amazing place to stay, with the large deck overlooking Spring Creek. We enjoyed the large spa tub and the gas fireplace. If you forgot something the Dollar General is in walking distance. We went to the resort for a 90 minute mineral hot springs spa overlooking the French Broad. We did a 2 hour hike with Llamas. Hot Springs is a friendly town. We enjoyed everywhere we went.

Cozy Little Getaway

The Blue Heron was even better than expected. The cottage is well appointed and very clean and cozy. Arriving we walked in to find a vase of daffodils and a kind welcoming note on the kitchen table. It was a bit rainy and chilly that day, the gas log fireplace was on and the warmth of the cottage was just wonderful. The loveseat in the living room faces sliding glass doors which offer a view of the Spring Creek and the surrounding wooded area. Just to the right of the doors is the cozy gas log fireplace. The next day we walked into Hot Springs and strolled through the shops and downtown before "taking the waters" in a very nice private hot tub at The Hot Springs Spa. A bit of backstory, the week of our original scheduled stay the weather forecast was for a high of 17* Saturday and 5* Saturday night. The hosts were very understanding and accommodating in letting us reschedule our stay a few weeks later for a small rescheduling fee. Blue Heron provided us with a very relaxing weekend get away and we would definitely stay again.

Blue Herron

Over all, great place to stay. Little disappointed that the jacuzzi bathtub was described as a hot tub. We were impesssed on how perfect the bungalow was for us. Warm weather return is going to be a goal.

Relaxing visit

The cabin was located in a cute neighborhood just a 5-7 minute from downtown. The house is right on a creek so you can hear the bubbling water from the deck. It was a rainy weekend so we didn't get to spend much time on the deck, but it would be a perfect place to sit in nicer weather. The bed was comfortable and the house had everything we needed. We'd love to return one day.

beautiful spot

Beautiful spot right over the creek. However, creek is not all that accessible from this property. That is my only negative. Everything else was great and a wonderful time. Just remember to keep the bedroom door open if it's cold at night.
