Historic Cottage - Near Grove Park Inn - Private Garden and Covered Swing

Just 1.3 miles from downtown Asheville and a five-minute walk to the historic Grove Park Inn, this thoughtfully restored 1913 cottage blends timeless architecture with modern comfort. Set in a quiet, park-like landscape, the home offers a rare combination of privacy and proximity.

A private deck overlooks a dramatic 12-foot waterfall, creating a serene backdrop for morning coffee or an evening glass of wine. Inside, period details are preserved alongside updated amenities, including hotel-quality linens, luxury bath toiletries, and a 4K Amazon Fire TV loaded with Prime and Netflix. A complimentary bottle of wine greets you on arrival.

Cottage features compact functional kitchen with sink, dishwasher, induction stove top, microwave and toaster oven. Guest access to laundry provided.

Tucked behind the cottage, a secluded garden features a covered swing adds a cozy touch, perfect for unwinding in the cool mountain air.

With a dedicated one-car parking pad and just 14 steps to the entrance, the cottage is both accessible and hidden away. Whether you're seeking a romantic retreat or a peaceful solo escape, this quiet sanctuary delivers comfort, beauty, and an unbeatable location in the heart of Asheville.
