Cottage holiday rentals in Buncombe County

The Loverly is truly lovely—you’ll feel at home! With a fireplace, a chaise lounge, a hot tub, and more, it’s the perfect retreat. Plan a shopping day in Hendersonville. The local consignment shop, which supports hospice care, offers great prices. For a meal, check out Shine—known for unique dishes and excellent service. In Fairview, The Local Joint is a must-visit. This old-fashioned diner, owned by a single mom, serves hearty meals that last all day. Their eggs Benedict, with fresh spinach, avocado, and homemade skillet potatoes, is a standout. Watching “CoCo” cook—his energy is unmatched—is an experience! Get there early; we went twice, and it was packed. Consider contributing to The Local Joint’s “pay it forward” option. A $10 donation covers a meal for someone in need. This region of North Carolina was severely impacted by Hurricane Helene. The destruction is heartbreaking, but the community is rebuilding. Many businesses and walking trails remain closed, so keep that in mind.

We were visiting Asheville for a friends wedding and this provided the space and amenities we needed for a long weekend. It was peaceful and had a nice patio and outdoor space. It was an awesome suprise to see the fireflies twinkling in the trees by the creek at night while relaxing after a long day. It was just me and my husband but would be nice for a group of adults or a family getaway also. Plenty of space. Thanks for a good vacation!

We loved our stay! Everything we wanted to do was in close proximity and the recommendations for food were amazing! Our stay was peaceful and the cottage itself was lovely.

My husband and I had a perfect time in black mountain. Love the nature around the house. Clean environment. Perfect Airbnb.

What a perfect spot! Our little family, including our dog, loved David’s place. The fenced in back yard & well stocked kitchen were highlights. As others have noted, it is on a busy road, but from the backyard you can’t really tell — it feels very private. We would absolutely come back and stay again.

Private and quaint cottage in a great location to explore the biltmore, arboretum, Blue Ridge Parkway, downtown Asheville, and more!

This cottage is perfect! It is located in a quiet area. Francia's place is perfect for a weekend getaway with your dog. My miniature Schnauzer used the doggy door immediately. She loved the backyard. Everything about this place is comfortable! We will definitely stay again!

Stayed for a couple of days with the pup & had a great time in Asheville - it was very convenient to west asheville! The dog loved the fenced in backyard and how flat everything was. The neighborhood did not seem very walkable so we just stuck to the yard.

Location was very convenient, close to things while still feeling private. The cabin was great and back deck was a perfect spot to relax. Jody was very responsive and communicated well during our stay, I would definitely book this place again!

Wonderful stay. Fabulous deck with fire, nice and high away from any bugs. Clean! Very comfortable bed.

We enjoyed our stay here. It was a great location for getting around Asheville. The house was clean and roomy enough for our family of 5.

My wife and I were visiting family in Asheville and Mike and Cate’s Asheville East was perfect!!! Within a mile of my family’s place, very reasonably priced and the unit was spotless!! Looked brand new. Perfect for two. Fully-stocked kitchen and a very comfortable bed. We had everything we needed. Mike and Cate are excellent communicators and tell you what you need to know. We will definitely stay here again!!!

Stayed here with my husky, everything was amazing! will definitely be looking into this house if we are ever in the area again

It was a rocky start since the place wasn't ready when we arrived at check-in time. Normally we arrive later anyway, but we had been up since early and had already explored the area for several hours. We just wanted to rest for a few before heading back out. Michael and Joseph went way above and beyond to rectify the situation and the place was ready in less than an hour. We loved the house, especially the California king bed. It was so comfy that I'm going to buy a Tuft and Needle bed. Our dog loved the house and quiet neighborhood too. My only suggestion for improvement would be blackout curtains in the bedroom. It was nice that the bedroom was separated by doors from the living room area, and that despite the unit being attached to the main house, it felt like its own space. The place is walkable to downtown (almost exactly a mile) but it was a little warm so we drove most of the time and went to River Arts District a lot too (quick drive). We would definitely stay here again.

A peaceful, pet friendly place to stay just 4 minutes from the agriculture center. My dog and I felt right at home.

Great cozy cottage. Loved the trail to walk my dog. The place was very clean . The host was extremely responsive. All around a great place to stay.

The place was so beautifully designed and built. If you want to escape into the mountains and need to switch off from your busy life, this is the perfect spot for you. The hosts were very friendly and pretty quick with their responses.

We loved staying at this magical cottage! It was so lovely. Ron and Rachel are so kind, they even helped us get a car unstuck from the mud. Definitely recommend staying here!

Extremely quaint and cozy. Quiet and serene. Close to downtown. All necessities provided.

This was our second stay at Bluebird and it was just as lovely as the first. Lauria and Randy are excellent hosts and their home is such a peaceful respite from the world. Our boys were 1 and 4 last time we came and they’ve been asking to go back ever since. They were sad to leave when it was time to go. They feel so at home there. A perfect way to explore the beautiful WNC region while coming home to a peaceful, secluded paradise at the end of every day.

Thank you so much. Short drive to West Asheville, downtown and hiking.

Another fantastic stay at Leslie & Ed’s place! There are not enough good things to say about this magical spot. Our kids were immediately in the creek upon arrival and it was hard to get them out of there given how much fun they were having. You are surrounded by mountains in this charming cottage and you are hosted by the loveliest human beings who really go out of their way to make your stay feel special. They even greeted us with easter eggs for the kids! It’s our second stay here & we hope to be back next year for a third time. This is a special spot with special humans.

Our stay was such a wonderful experience! We felt at home from the moment we walked in. Our expectations were high ahead of the visit, but the home exceeded them in every way, including cleanliness, comfort and charm. We loved the peaceful back yard, and ate many meals out there. The house was very well furnished with quality furniture, kitchen appliances and high end towels. We loved the proximity to downtown Black Mountain’s breweries, coffee shops and many restaurants. All in all, our experience was exceptionally good!!

Amazing stay, Amazing Host! From my first messaging inquiry until check out, Jacqueline was an amazing host. The home was beautiful and is exactly as described. Bathroom and linens were immaculate, and I’m very particular about cleanliness! The home is very new and the appliances up-to-date and everything in perfect working order. We came up for a weekend of birding and enjoyed seeing many birds, including a Broad Winged hawk, from the beautiful porch. Also had deer and wild turkey stroll through the yard! Close enough to Weaverville and Asheville, but also very private. 10/10 stay!
