We had a great stay and we’re close to lots of great things to do. Felt private and quiet and was great for a couples getaway. Very clean and cozy!

Very nicely appointed cottage, used the space well was comfortable for a short stay. The host has thought of many little comforts you don't even know you need.

10/10

Great little place with everything you need! This is the cutest little place. It was perfect. Just a few miles from downtown so it’s convenient but just far enough from bustle to have the getaway experience. We loved it!

A great cabin with everything you need😁 Feeding the horses was fun and it's very private

10/10

This is a great little property. It feels very solitary but you're no more than a 10-20 minute drive from anywhere in Asheville. I had my dog with me and we enjoyed sitting in the screened in porch or watching the horses in the mornings with a cup of coffee. The bed also gets a 10/10, so comfortable and cozy!

We stayed for several days. This cottage is off the beaten track, but close to everything you would want to see in the Asheville area. The cottage is ideal for a couple of people. It's very well equipped and managed by a local, quite competent person. You will be pleasantly surprised. FYI, you will have to schlep your own luggage from the parking area - across a gravelly area, up a few steps and across a rock pathway to the cottage. This shouldn't be a huge challenge for most visitors.

Our stay at the Heartwood Cottage was just right. The cottage had everything we needed on our visit to Asheville. It was close and convenient to everything we wanted to visit. We enjoyed the brewery’s of Asheville, hiked along the Blue Ridge Parkway and found new hikes in the area. We visited the North Carolina Arboritum and the River Arts District. All close by to this Cottage. We especially enjoyed the screened in porch in the evenings after long hikes. The Cottage was better then described. Even our four legged friend was welcome (he really loved the screened in porch). Can’t forget the horses in the pasture and the nightly bus from the wild turkeys.

This is our second time staying at Heartwood Cottage. It’s the perfect size for my husband and I for a weekend get away. The place is well stocked with the essentials you need. So quiet and peaceful. We enjoyed relaxing on the screened front porch and taking in the views of the horse pasture out back. Feeding the horses carrots when they walked up to the fence was a highlight! Marisa our host was just a message away if we needed her and kept in constant contact to ensure we had what we needed. The cottage is very convenient to downtown Asheville and surrounding areas, and an Ingles grocery store is just around the corner. We will definitely be back!

Worked out perfectly for us. Well-equipped and well-kept. Great sunrises. Feeding the horses was a real treat.

The location and setting were perfect for my wife and I’s weekend getaway ahead of baby #2. Close to Asheville and the blue ridge parkway, but far enough out of town that it was super quiet.

We spent 5 nights here, home base for exploring Asheville neighborhoods. Calm, quiet, peaceful neighborhood. There is a larger VRBO home in front that was out of the way. Out back is a fenced farm with a dozen horses. Marissa left us carrots to feed the horses, and a couple were eager to amble over and enjoy the treats. A management company is used to handle some details, and they never responded, which is why I docked the manager experience by 2 stars. On arrival, I had no code to get in, and the manager did not respond. (Fortunately, a note with the code was viewable from the window, allowing us to get it.) Marissa the owner, on the other hand, was friendly and helpful. Another good part is that it was just a hop to get onto the highway, making all of Asheville no more than 15 minutes away. Lots of windows and light, a screened front porch, and a small, open back patio, added to the relaxation, while a full kitchen and washer and dryer made it practical. The bed was very comfortable, no problems with temperature control.

This cottage was the perfect location to relax and decompress. I loved sitting in the hammock on the front porch with my morning coffee. The bed is also the most comfortable bed I’ve ever slept in -I slept like a rock while I was there. The cottage is completely equipped with anything you could need for your stay. It was nice to be able to pack light and do laundry while I was there. The location was ideal to jump on the parkway to do some hiking and also minutes from town so I could shop and visit some breweries. I will definitely be staying here again when I come back to Asheville. And, as many others have mentioned, you can feed carrots to the horses!

Heartwood Cottage is ADORABLE! Well equipped, very clean, and utterly charming! The owner provided carrots to feed the horses in the pasture behind the property. 10 out of 10!

10/10

This cottage couldn’t have been better for my husband and I. The location was ideal - very close to town and easy to get in and out of. The neighborhood is very peaceful and quiet. We enjoyed many hours on the front porch just relaxing and enjoying the sounds of the nature around us. The cottage was very clean on arrival and was the perfect size for the two of us.

Marissa’s cabin is spotless. We had a great time exploring the area and even better time coming back to the hammock, screen porch, fireflies and comfy bed. Thank you so much!

The Heartwood Cottage was comfortable and super clean, and Marisa is one of the sweetest hosts I have ever met! She was more than accommodating and even went above and beyond when she found out we were visiting for a birthday trip. The cottage was clean, comfortable, and very quiet! The front porch has a great hammock for book reading, and the back deck, while small, was perfect for morning coffee watching the horses. The house is literally 2 minutes from the parkway and 7 minutes from Asheville. If you are looking for lodging with great access to the city without actually staying in the city, this cottage is perfect! What I wasn't expecting was that this cottage actually sits on the same property as a main house (the cottage sits behind the house, in the back yard). The people in the house were extremely nice and respected our privacy. The screened porch faces the main house, but curtains have been put up to maintain privacy. The back deck overlooks a horse farm, which was fun in the morning; however, there were times when the people from the main house would walk back to feed the horses in the evening, walking past our windows (which was fine but scared the heck out of me the first time I looked outside and saw people there!). If you are looking for an amazing property with quick and easy access to the city, the Heartwood Cottage is perfect; however, if you are looking for a secluded getaway in the mountains, this may not exactly be the cottage for you.

Amazing weekend vacation. Location was quiet, peaceful and right down the road from everything we needed. Owner was very responsive and helpful. Provided carrots to feed the horses!! All the good reviews were completely accurate. 10/10 recommend. We will be back.

This is such a nice, little cottage for two! My husband and I stayed here on our trip to Asheville, it was very peaceful and relaxing. The only thing I would note is that it is not as secluded as the pictures make it seem. Marisa has done a great job with the landscaping and use of curtains to make it feel private but we did not realize how close it would be to other properties. Overall it was a great place to relax and enjoy our time together! The closeness of the Blue Ridge Parkway made hiking so accessible which was wonderful!
