About this property

Asheville Cottage Retreat by AvantStay | A+ Charm

Due to recent events related to Hurricane Helene, Asheville is currently experiencing widespread cell phone and internet outages. While we are optimistic about restoration, please be aware that these amenities may not be available during your stay. We recommend checking with us for the latest updates or if you have any questions. Thank you for your understanding.

Enjoy three levels of space and comfort at Asheville Cottage Retreat. This 5BR escape is perfect for a group, with gorgeous outdoor spaces, welcoming interiors, and all the amenities you need for a memorable mountain vacation.

A fully-equipped kitchen makes at-home meals a breeze, while nearby options like Whistle Hop Brewery, Flying Cloud Farm, and other family-friendly Fairview favorites are ready to explore when you head out.

Keep your group entertained with multiple TVs with streaming services, as well as an Xbox and wet bar in the lower level’s family room. You’ll even find an extensive collection of DVDs.

The porch and deck are the best places to enjoy a coffee, cocktail, or night of grilling, while five comfortable bedrooms give everyone a space to call their own.

The primary suite features a king bed and private bath with a shower/tub combo. You’ll find two queen rooms upstairs with another full-sized shared bathroom, as well as two more queen beds on the lower level (also featuring a spa-like bathroom with a soaking tub).

AvantStay provides an upscale experience with services that elevate your stay and save time so you can enjoy every moment. Guests have access to a 24/7 support team and a tech-enabled concierge to book services, such as fridge stocking, mid-stay cleanings, and private chefs. For anything you need (or never knew you needed), we’re at your service!

An exciting yet laid-back escape among the Blue Ridge Mountains, Asheville is a unique blend of outdoor adventure, exciting entertainment, and incredible local cuisine. Explore stunning views from bike or horseback, or stroll around the buzzing art district filled with breweries, boutiques, and venues. Cool breezes, historic architecture, and more — you can have it all in Asheville.

Great Place
The property was clean and comfortable with a nice view and lots of outdoor areas. Great rooms with good amenities. We enjoyed our stay very much. The original home we picked became unavailable at the last minute. The staff notified us immediately and helped us find a comparable place to stay in the same area. They were very helpful and the change was managed with no hassle.

Breath of Fresh Air
Girls trip to Biltmore The house was way nicer than we expected. The kitchen is lovely and entirely stocked. You shouldn't need a thing. The bedrooms are large and very well appointed with storage, hangers, bureaus for a nice long stay. There are extra linens! The bathrooms were a real surprise with extra towels and plenty of TP. There was no Kleenex, but when we mentioned it, it was delivered the next day. I've stayed in a lot of short term rentals and every one had quirks. This one didn't have any. The location for Asheville couldn't be any easier-15 minutes to Biltmore or downtown. And the rural feel was wonderful. This was such a breath of fresh air! Thanks!

Beautiful Asheville Getaway
Beautiful and very clean house with lots of space for 5 friends. “Minutes from downtown Asheville” was a slight exaggeration. Carpets have some stains and furniture is clearly geared toward renters but overall we very much enjoyed our stay.

Asheville Water System Failure
The property manager called us while we traveled to the property from Florida to let us know there was no water at the property. He had no other properties available and wasnt sure about hotel rooms. Fortunately the water system came back on by the time we arrived and stayed on for the week we were there. The night before we were to leave the water turned brown due to system flushing and precluded us from showering or using the water for drinking or cooking. The property manager had anticipated this and left 4 cases of bottled water for our use. The south end of the Asheville water system was without water due to freezing temperatures and main breaks and a loss of the water supply for at least a week over the Christmas holidays finally being restored by January 5th. Hopefully the City will analyze exactly what happened and spend the money to properly maintain and correct the water system so this doesn't happen again. This situation did not develop overnight, many years of a lack of funding, training and emergency preparation caused this situation. Many businesses were forced to be closed due to lack of water supply and fire prevention abilities. This could have been a real disaster.

This is the perfect family getaway house. Layout is ideal for enough privacy while providing plenty of room for shared space. Easy to get anywhere in Asheville from the house, but also plenty of fun stuff to do in the immediate area. Couldn't be happier with the experience.

Wedding week
My wife, siblings and family stayed there and attended my daughter’s wedding at Twisty Maple. We went to Blowing Rock, Linville Falls, and Chimney Rock. We also enjoyed the many breweries. All in all, a great week. The house was very well appointed, minus toiletries. Not quite a hotel. Parking in the driveway for at least six vehicles.

The perfect house for 5 couples!
This house was perfect for 5 couples. It was clean and well equipped. The owner was awesome at responding to our questions quickly and we loved the outdoor decks and pouch. It is an easy 25min drive from airport but you definitely need a car to get around. We would definitely stay there again!

Perfect getaway house
We were on a girls trip. The house was perfect for the five of us. Clean, welcoming and perfectly laid out. It was a 15- minute drive to Biltmore Estates, 20-minute highway drive to downtown Asheville and 40 minutes to Pisgah Forest. I would definitely stay at the house again or any property managed by the same company.

We loved having the living room upstairs and the second hang out space downstairs when the kids were sleeping. We loved that the house is pet friendly as well! Traveled up the road to Whistlehop and Hill Top Ice Cream multiple times and it's a short drive to downtown Asheville. All you could ask for! We would definitely stay here again.
