Walk To Downtown Asheville, Pet Friendly, Fenced-In Yard

This charming 1910 cottage in Asheville's historic Montford neighborhood was completely renovated and won the prestigious Griffin Award for historic preservation. The cottage retains its historic charm with original fireplace, doors, and woodwork. The kitchen has all the modern appliances you'd expect. In summer, enjoy A/C and fenced backyard with patio. In winter, enjoy the cozy fireplace.

Location is one of our cottage's greatest assets. Leave your car at the cottage and explore Asheville's vibrant downtown. We are within a 10-minute walk to the heart of downtown Asheville's many locally owned restaurants. Walk to the Friday night drum circle, downtown after-five concerts, the library, or have glass of wine at Sante Wine Bar in the Arcade.

Fully furnished, including all utilities, wi-fi, extended cable TV, internet, and laundry.

The cottage sits at the end of a quiet street. Walk, bike, or jog through the beautiful and historic Montford neighborhood. The Greenway is only blocks away.

Enjoy an evening sitting on the front porch, reading in front of the fireplace, or grilling on the patio in the fenced-in backyard. The cozy cottage is 865 sq ft and has all the amenities you'd expect. The master bedroom has flat-screened tv with large closet and guest bedroom has queen bed, small walk-in closet and office set up with printer/scanner. The LR has flat screen TV with extended hi def package. The kitchen has a gas stove, D/W, microwave, coffee maker, and just about everything you would need for gourmet dinners.

The cottage is in a perfect location to explore downtown Asheville, dozens of great independent restaurants, many art galleries, and nearby River Arts district. We have been named Beer City for several years because of the notable craft breweries, some within walking distance.

Owners can provide you with information on running or walking trails in the neighborhood and the surrounding mountains.

In the cottage, there's an extensive information booklet containing a list of our favorite downtown restaurants, and the many great tourist attractions, many within walking distance or a short drive.

Need to work? The second bedroom is set up with wireless internet, printer, work desk and lounge chair.

The fenced backyard has a small patio with gas grill.

Please call with any questions about the area or for open dates! Going on three years, the cottage has booked quickly for the entire year, so it's best to inquire EARLY.

Wonderful cottage close to everything
This charming cottage in Asheville’s historic Montford neighborhood is simply delightful! Spacious, comfortable, beautifully decorated and well-appointed with everything one needs for an extended stay. It is convenient to everything in Asheville and small-dog friendly. Cozy and comfortable with gracious owners who communicate what you need to know before your arrival. A perfect place to stay - we look forward to coming back!

Possibly the best location close to downtown
We really enjoyed our stay at Vicki's place. For starters, the neighborhood is wonderful, just far enough away from the main roads for peace and quiet, but only a 10-15 minute walk from almost everywhere downtown. The neighbors are also warm and friendly and actually seemed to go out of their way to welcome us, which is rare for a vacation rental. The house itself was the perfect size for my wife and I, plus our 2 dogs. The A/C worked exceptionally well, and the house was fully stocked with everything we could need and more. Vicki was a great host - excellent communication and very responsive. We will definitely visit again if we don't end up moving to the neighborhood permanently!

Cheerful, comfortable house in great location
We loved staying in this charming house with its roomy, well-equipped kitchen overlooking the fenced-in backyard patio and garden. Although small, the house easily accommodated 2 adult family members who joined us for a few nights during our stay. Vicki is a responsive, helpful host.

Fantastic Stay
The cottage was lovely - full of light and well laid out. We had everything we needed for a month. Cooking was a joy with the great pans, sharp knives, and ample dishware. Super convenient location. Would definitely return!

Cozy cottage in a great location
Communication with Vicki was wonderful and the check-in/check-out process was easy and seamless. The property is very close to downtown which was great for our stay, and also is in close proximity to Montford restaurants like All Day Darling and NineMile. Highly recommend if you’re looking to travel to Asheville!

Great little cottage in stellar location!
This is a super charming little cottage. It is nicely appointed and is perfectly located. Vicki is an amazing host and recommended lots of fun places to visit. Merle (my dog) loved being able to hang out in the backyard and there is a great little park around the corner. The fireplace made it super cozy during my January visit. The kitchen was great for cooking and there are a bunch of options for groceries nearby. The beds are super comfortable and the bathroom is super cute. I would stay here again in a heartbeat and highly recommend this charming Historic Montford Cottage.

The Perfect Location and Accommodation
Perfect in every way. Cozy, extremely clean, well equipped and to top off a romantic evening...a gas fireplace. A short walk into downtown for great shopping. One block to your morning latte and breakfast too! Owners very attentive and accessible. Recommend highly

October Adventure
We, myself and my trusty dog Heath, had a great Asheville visit. Although the weather was variable we did get to see the leaves change and took many wonderful walks in the neighborhood and downtown. The cottage was very clean and was larger than I envisioned. The decor was stylish but very comfortable. The art was fun and interesting to explore. My weekend guests were very pleased as well. The kitchen was fully equipped, even beyond expectations. I needed a grater to make soup, sure enough I found one there. There was no need to meet the host because she was so organized. The cottage was well prepared and everything was in good working order for our entire stay. Privacy was fully respected as well. I would definitely stay here again.

This is the Spot
This house has the benefit of location to downtown, great neighborhood and a place to relax. The house is well appointed with all amenities plus a great backyard for relaxing and grilling. The large 2 bedrooms allow for room to spread out. It is a close walk to Grove Park District and several restaurants within a 5 min. walk. There is no better place to stay. The owner is wonderful to work with and is responsive with any needs.

Comfortable and convenient
This was the second consecutive year my wife and I have stayed at Vickie’s. We love our time there and heartily recommend it. The house is attractively decorated and furnished and the beds are quite comfortable. We love the neighborhood and neighbors and really appreciate how convenient to town it is so we just walk to town for most things. Hank and Vickie are very helpful for any problems. The house has a very cozy feel to it and the kitchen is well furnished. We plan to return next year.
