Cozy quiet retreat

Super cozy, quiet and well equipped. The place was really cute, super clean and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay and the ability to cook a few meals.

Weekend in Asheville

Great location! Easy drive into heart of Asheville to check out restaurants and breweries. Also great to get that quiet mountain feel at the property. Grateful that our pets were welcome. Would definitely recommend this property for a couples getaway!

What a mountain escape should be!

Great little place with everything you need! This is the cutest little place. It was perfect. Just a few miles from downtown so it’s convenient but just far enough from bustle to have the getaway experience. We loved it!

Great little getaway.

This is a great little property. It feels very solitary but you're no more than a 10-20 minute drive from anywhere in Asheville. I had my dog with me and we enjoyed sitting in the screened in porch or watching the horses in the mornings with a cup of coffee. The bed also gets a 10/10, so comfortable and cozy!

Delightful Cottage

We stayed for several days. This cottage is off the beaten track, but close to everything you would want to see in the Asheville area. The cottage is ideal for a couple of people. It's very well equipped and managed by a local, quite competent person. You will be pleasantly surprised. FYI, you will have to schlep your own luggage from the parking area - across a gravelly area, up a few steps and across a rock pathway to the cottage. This shouldn't be a huge challenge for most visitors.

Loved the Heartwood Cottage

Our stay at the Heartwood Cottage was just right. The cottage had everything we needed on our visit to Asheville. It was close and convenient to everything we wanted to visit. We enjoyed the brewery’s of Asheville, hiked along the Blue Ridge Parkway and found new hikes in the area. We visited the North Carolina Arboritum and the River Arts District. All close by to this Cottage. We especially enjoyed the screened in porch in the evenings after long hikes. The Cottage was better then described. Even our four legged friend was welcome (he really loved the screened in porch). Can’t forget the horses in the pasture and the nightly bus from the wild turkeys.

Back again!

This is our second time staying at Heartwood Cottage. It’s the perfect size for my husband and I for a weekend get away. The place is well stocked with the essentials you need. So quiet and peaceful. We enjoyed relaxing on the screened front porch and taking in the views of the horse pasture out back. Feeding the horses carrots when they walked up to the fence was a highlight! Marisa our host was just a message away if we needed her and kept in constant contact to ensure we had what we needed. The cottage is very convenient to downtown Asheville and surrounding areas, and an Ingles grocery store is just around the corner. We will definitely be back!

Great couple’s getaway

The location and setting were perfect for my wife and I’s weekend getaway ahead of baby #2. Close to Asheville and the blue ridge parkway, but far enough out of town that it was super quiet.

Nature Retreat 15 minutes from Everywhere

We spent 5 nights here, home base for exploring Asheville neighborhoods. Calm, quiet, peaceful neighborhood. There is a larger VRBO home in front that was out of the way. Out back is a fenced farm with a dozen horses. Marissa left us carrots to feed the horses, and a couple were eager to amble over and enjoy the treats. A management company is used to handle some details, and they never responded, which is why I docked the manager experience by 2 stars. On arrival, I had no code to get in, and the manager did not respond. (Fortunately, a note with the code was viewable from the window, allowing us to get it.) Marissa the owner, on the other hand, was friendly and helpful. Another good part is that it was just a hop to get onto the highway, making all of Asheville no more than 15 minutes away. Lots of windows and light, a screened front porch, and a small, open back patio, added to the relaxation, while a full kitchen and washer and dryer made it practical. The bed was very comfortable, no problems with temperature control.

Relaxing Stay

This cottage was the perfect location to relax and decompress. I loved sitting in the hammock on the front porch with my morning coffee. The bed is also the most comfortable bed I’ve ever slept in -I slept like a rock while I was there. The cottage is completely equipped with anything you could need for your stay. It was nice to be able to pack light and do laundry while I was there. The location was ideal to jump on the parkway to do some hiking and also minutes from town so I could shop and visit some breweries. I will definitely be staying here again when I come back to Asheville. And, as many others have mentioned, you can feed carrots to the horses!

Perfect Getaway

This cottage couldn’t have been better for my husband and I. The location was ideal - very close to town and easy to get in and out of. The neighborhood is very peaceful and quiet. We enjoyed many hours on the front porch just relaxing and enjoying the sounds of the nature around us. The cottage was very clean on arrival and was the perfect size for the two of us.

Amazing accommodation close to downtown Asheville, but not a secluded getaway

The Heartwood Cottage was comfortable and super clean, and Marisa is one of the sweetest hosts I have ever met! She was more than accommodating and even went above and beyond when she found out we were visiting for a birthday trip. The cottage was clean, comfortable, and very quiet! The front porch has a great hammock for book reading, and the back deck, while small, was perfect for morning coffee watching the horses. The house is literally 2 minutes from the parkway and 7 minutes from Asheville. If you are looking for lodging with great access to the city without actually staying in the city, this cottage is perfect! What I wasn't expecting was that this cottage actually sits on the same property as a main house (the cottage sits behind the house, in the back yard). The people in the house were extremely nice and respected our privacy. The screened porch faces the main house, but curtains have been put up to maintain privacy. The back deck overlooks a horse farm, which was fun in the morning; however, there were times when the people from the main house would walk back to feed the horses in the evening, walking past our windows (which was fine but scared the heck out of me the first time I looked outside and saw people there!). If you are looking for an amazing property with quick and easy access to the city, the Heartwood Cottage is perfect; however, if you are looking for a secluded getaway in the mountains, this may not exactly be the cottage for you.
