Buttercup Cottage is clean, neat , and cozy. Not only did the host leave us delicious breakfast items to start our days (juice, milk, eggs , butter, bakery bread and homemade jam!), but also a fabulous tabulated notebook with catagories including how to set heat/air, work the tv, restaurants in Saluda, medical care, pet care, local grocery sources and sources in nearby Hendersonville: all with thorough directions! This property also includes a great deck area, so peaceful. I highly recommend Buttercup Cottage to anyone who wants to spend a cozy local place in Saluda, NC.

Great stay in Buttercup Cottage!

Charming cottage in a charming town. The cottage was extremely well equipped including eggs, milk, juice, bread and jam. Everything was very clean and the simplified check-in process was very easy. The location was fantastic as it's walking distance to downtown Saluda and a very easy pretty, drive to adjacent towns. Asheville and Hendersonville are easy to get to for day trips. We also found very nice hiking trails in the vicinity. The hosts offered helpful recommendations for dining and provided extensive information on the surrounding area. We hope to return in several months to see the extensive gardens surrounding the cottage. Great stay!

Pleasant stay at Buttercup Cottage

First of all, thank you Dan & Marti for making our stay a wonderful experience. We greatly appreciated your understanding and accommodation of our sensitivities to cleaning chemicals and scented products. It was also quite a treat to have access to your garden. We made some great stir fry with your vegies and herbs. Everything was nicely labeled and organized, with plenty of hooks for hats and jackets. This is a great location and a quick 10 minute or so walk to downtown. Thanks again!

Very welcoming

We had a lovely stay. There were several welcoming homey touches that we really appreciated - fresh bread and milk and eggs. Saluda is a lovely town and we lived walking around and doing the Gorge Zipline. We recommend this house!

Thanksgiving at the cottage

We had a lovely stay at the cottage. We love Saluda and this was out first stay at the Buttercup. The location was perfect for 2 dogs. The personal touches of juice, milk and jelly were very much appreciated. The hosts were very kind and personal. Everything was wonderful. It was just what we needed to rest and recharge our souls.

Clean and Cozy Cottage

Wonderful hosts and a lovely cottage. Great location near Saluda and Hendersonville. Perfect for day trips to go hiking or shopping or just sit outside on the deck and listen to the birds. The garden was amazing and we loved going out to pick apples, cucumbers and tomatoes. Hope to be back soon! Thank you for a great visit!

Most extras!

My wife and I have stayed in many hosted rentals over the years and have never had the red carpet rolled out for us as wonderfully as Marti did for us. There were so many nice touches and extras that made feel so welcome. We especially liked the ability to walk downtown and we were just a short drive to all the area’s outdoor activities. Great place and great host!

Relaxing Weekend at Buttercup

We enjoyed our extended weekend at Buttercup Cottage. The kitchen had all the essentials to cook and the king bed was very comfortable. The eggs, orange juice, milk, and bread left by the host were very nice and made us feel welcome. But the highlight was the homemade apricot jam…. Delicious! My husband especially enjoyed grinding the coffee beans provided to make coffee each morning. The neighborhood was very quiet and peaceful. We hope to come back!

About the host

Hosted by Marti Wells

Originally purchased for a summer getaway. When we retired to Saluda and built our new home, we kept the cottage for family and friends to use when visiting. Later, we decided to open it for short time rentals, so we spruced it up, bought new beds and here we are.

Why they chose this property

We love Saluda! We live here and love sharing with visitors this special place called Saluda.

What makes this property unique

Short easy walk to Main Street Saluda.
Located in a quiet neighborhood, on a dead-end street, we are one of the few truly dog friendly accommodations in Saluda....and we have a yard.
Many of our guests love the deck where they can enjoy their morning coffee or a cocktail while grilling at dinner time. Deck is designed with gate to allow furry guests free access with their humans. We have an extensive summer garden and share the bounty with our guests...they are welcome to pick their own fruits and veggies...can't get fresher than that.
