This beautiful and charming cottage sits at the foot of 16 acres and is quintessential to everything Asheville and the surrounding area have to offer. The cottage is close to everything, yet gives the feel of being away from it all. Built in the early 1900's, this house maintains it's history along with modern upgrades. The back of the house over looks a pasture with cattle, where you can find deer grazing and turkey's passing by early in the mornings and evenings. To the left of the house is a pond that is stocked with fish that we do allow fishing on, however it is catch and release only and we do not supply fishing equipment. This newly renovated cottage comes fully furnished with two bedrooms equipped with two queen beds, a blow up queen bed, an electric Duraflame fireplace in every room, an electric Duraflame log fireplace, dining room, and a 30" HD TV with Direct TV in the living room. The kitchen is brand new and is supplied with all new appliances, granite counter tops, and your everyday basic kitchen needs. There is no central heat and air, however, we have supplied enough heaters and A/C units in the home to more than adequately keep the house, and each room, warm, cool, and comfortable. Outside you will find a brand new 5 person hot tub that overlooks the pasture and pond, a fire pit, and a gas grill. I supply a starter brick of coffee, an assortment of teas, some mini moo creamers, and a variety of sugar packets to get you through your first morning, in case you can't get to the store right away. There are also complementary toiletries at your disposal, should you forget something. The grill is a gas grill that has a mini propane tank on it. What makes this house unique, is it's central location to Asheville and the surrounding area, and everything it has to offer.
