Luxurious Asheville Cottages
Welcome, and thank you for visiting our website. Marshall and I have traveled extensively
and have learned through experience what makes a cottage rental outstanding. It
is with this experience in mind that we have designed our four luxurious cabin rentals.
Our goal is simple:
Provide You With The Most Luxurious Vacation Rental Cabin Stay You Have Ever
Experienced!
We are so confident that we will provide this to you that we give you a
Free Stay Guarantee!
Please read on and enjoy. If you still have questions, you can call my cell phone
and I will answer any questions you might have about our vacation rental cabins.
Thank you,

Luxury
If elegance and luxury are what you are looking for in a vacation rental, you have
come to the right place. Our romantic cabins are located within the
city limits of Asheville, NC. Within each cabin, we hope that you will be amazed
at the attention to detail. We hired a phenomenal designer to completely design
and arrange the cottages to meet your every desire, from the color of the paint
to the weight of the silverware.
Bedrooms
As Marshall and I contemplated some of the most important aspects of a rental cottage,
we drew from all of our experience as well as that of many others. Starting in the
bedroom, we made sure all of our sheets are all soft, 400 thread count (Marshall
is now spoiled on them and will not sleep on anything less). You will be sleeping
on top grade, Sealy, pillow top mattresses that are more comfortable than any we
have ever slept on while on vacation. In the main closet of each cabin, you will
find two, high quality, soft bath robes to be used at your pleasure.
Living Areas
In the living areas, each rental cabin has a fireplace, a large TV, comfortable chairs
and a leather sofa for relaxing or enjoying a romantic evening. If you want to listen
to music, you have a choice of our CD/IPod player or one of 100 music channels on
Direct TV
You will have access to EVERY Satellite channel available from Direct TV, including
the movie channels. Take a look at the
In Cabin Entertainment Page
to show you all that we offer inside the cabins.
Kitchen
Our desire to make the kitchens in our cabins spectacular meant that we needed to
stock them the way a gourmet chef would. The pots and pans, small appliances and
silverware are all the type you would find in a fine restaurant. We also make sure
you have all the extras like spices, foil, Zip-Lock bags and, hopefully, everything
else you might need to make your dining experience excellent.
Breakfast
With four children, Marshall and I don't always get to our vacation destination
on time. I know how difficult this can make it to have breakfast ready the following
day. In our cottages, we have solved this problem for you. Not only will you find
a kitchen stocked with gourmet supplies, we also provide you with breakfast items
to take the worry out of your first morning. Orange juice and cream will be waiting for you
in the refrigerator. In your breakfast basket, you will find a large variety of
foods to eat in the mornings. Muffins, oatmeal, grits, and breakfast bars are the
main items in the basket. Of course, there is regular and decaf coffee. Marshall
and I are tea drinkers so we make available several gourmet teas for you to choose
from. For your morning desert, we also provide the large pack of Reese's Peanut
Butter Cups.
Hot tub
No vacation rental cabin experience would be complete without a large hot tub
to melt your sore muscles away. We choose hot tubs that are large enough for six
people. You may not need that much room, but they sure give you plenty of room to
stretch out and enjoy a romantic escape with your spouse. You will enjoy this on
our covered back deck so no matter what the weather is, it's always "hot tub time"
at the Asheville Cottages. To me, there is nothing worse than a hot tub that is
not clean. This is the reason that Marshall has such a stringent
draining and refilling schedule. To keep you warm when you get out of the hot tub,
we provide two, spa quality bath robes in every cabin. Just one more way to make
your stay luxuriously romantic.
Grilling Out
Like grilling out? So do we. Each cabin has a large covered back deck with enough
room for rockers, hot tub, table, chairs and, yes, a gas grill (with a spare tank
if you need it). Rain or shine, you can not only grill your dinner, but you can
relax in the rockers while you wait.
CLEANLINESS!!!
We have found that one of the most important, if not THE most important aspects
of a vacation rental cabin, or any where else you stay, is the
cleanliness
of the place. I cannot stand to even see a spot of mold in a shower. When we go
away on vacation, I have to have my bleach bottle just in case. There is no higher
standard I have than to have an immaculately clean cottage. I personally oversee
all the cleaning of the cabins and make sure that nothing is ever left unchecked.
My goal is for you to think that you are staying in a brand new cabin each time
you come and stay with us.
Location, Location, Location
One of the reasons we choose our location is for it's...location.
The Biltmore House
is only 7 miles from our rental cabin. If you are driving into
Downtown Asheville
you are just 8 miles away. Want to drive on the
Blue Ridge Parkway
? You are only 2 miles from the entrance. If you enjoy outdoor activities like fishing,
hiking or bike riding, the cabins are only 4 miles away from the
Lake Powhatan Recreation Area at Bent Creek
. If you want to enjoy some of the most diverse and beautiful plant life in North
Carolina, you will only have to drive 2 miles to get to the 434 acre
NC Arboretum
. In our Asheville Cottages
Visitor's Guide
, not only will you see our convenient location to Asheville and surrounding area attractions,
we also include our
Dining Guide
which will show you all the top rated restaurants in Asheville.
The Biltmore Estate
The close proximity of our cabins to the entrance to the Biltmore Estate
has made us the favorite vacation rental cabin for guests visiting the Estate. By
choosing our
Biltmore Package
you arrive there in style. When you visit the Biltmore Estate, you will be inspired
by the relaxed elegance of George and Edith Vanderbilt's 250-room family home and
country retreat in Asheville, NC. Discover original art from masters such as Renoir,
magnificent 16th-century tapestries, Napoleon's chess set, a library with 10,000
volumes, a Banquet Hall with a 70-foot ceiling, 65 fireplaces, an indoor pool, bowling
alley, and priceless antiques. Opened to friends on Christmas Eve 1895, this French
Renaissance chateáu remains America's largest privately owned home. You can find
more information in our
Biltmore Estate
page.
Downtown Asheville
Downtown Asheville is a hotspot where locals, tourists, street musicians, and business
owners converge. As the Asheville Cottages are only minutes from Downtown Asheville
you will find that all the excitement is only a short drive away. Downtown Asheville
hums with life as people stroll the streets shopping, dining at independent eateries
and local breweries, and being entertained by the diverse mix of culture, music
and art. With almost 200 retail shops, several museums and theaters, 30 galleries,
60 restaurants and coffee shops, and a dozen nightspots with live music most days
of the week everyone is sure to find something to do. You can find more information
about Downtown Asheville in our
Downtown Guide.
Hiking
Hiking trails in Asheville and the Western North Carolina range from easy to difficult,
and take hikers past mountain vistas, nature scenes and waterfalls. You'll find
us conveniently located to all the trails within the
Lake Powhatan Recreation area/Bent Creek Forest
(only 3 miles away). Hiking on the Blue Ridge Parkway, which is beautiful any time
of year, is just a short drive away (2 miles). If you enjoy waterfalls, a 20 mile
drive will take you to
The Land of the Waterfalls
(Transylvania County) with miles of hiking trails.
Biking
(Bear with me, I've never been mountain biking)
Western North Carolina's mountains contain some of the best mountain biking to be
found anywhere. Many of these trails can be found only minutes away from the cottages.
Gravel roads that wind along lazy streams or "singletrack" trails that climb steep
mountainsides--all can be found within the boundaries of western North Carolina.
Whatever you're looking for, be it a gentle cruise to a beautiful picnic spot, or
a rugged climb and descent on a steep mountainside, you've chosen a great place
to experience it all.
Fishing
The closest fishing area to our cabins would be the Bent Creek campground at the
French Broad River(2 miles away). The French Broad River is full of many varieties
of fish. If you enjoy trout fishing, you will love fishing in Bent Creek(4 miles away).
This creek is stocked throughout the year by the
NC Wildlife Department.
Lake Powhatan
(4 miles away) is also stocked throughout the year if you are looking to do some
pond fishing.
