Cottage vacation 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!

My experience was great, very cozy cabin and all of the pictures match as well. Would definitely recommend staying here!

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.

This cabin is well decorated, maintained, and homey. The hosts were so sweet and accommodating even left a sweet hand written note and gift for my wife’s birthday. The only thing we didn’t like was how close it proximity it was to the main house and the amenity of the fire pit feeling like it was in a shared space while we wanted a romantic private weekend. It being a guest house was disclosed in the description however was our fault that we didn’t fully read the full description. We enjoyed exploring the town, food was great but closed early even on the weekends (9pm) and catawba falls was beautiful! We would recommend this location and the hosts in a heartbeat.

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

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.

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!

This comfortable cottage was well worth the price. The house felt remote with sounds of nature and lots of trees, it was only minutes from downtown and restaurants. The three mini split ACs kept the temperature uniform throughout the whole space. It was clean and quiet and exactly what was advertised.

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

Great location and for a place that allows dogs it was incredibly clean . It’s does not have a full kitchen but the essentials to warm up some leftovers and cool off some drinks

We loved the place..kids and dog loved the yard. Inside was cozy and clean. Great location..We accidentally left something behind and Sam had it in the mail within a day or two..highly recommended. We will definitely be returning.

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

Enchanting Cottage! This was our second visit to Ron and Rachel’s magical cottage. We loved it even more this time! This trip we enjoyed the local and surrounding locations in Leicester, Marshall, Weaverville, Waynesville, and more. It is the perfect place to relax and disconnect from the everyday hustle. The garden enchanted hummingbirds, butterfly’s, and dragonfly’s to stop by. It was a delightful place. During the evenings, firefly’s would illuminate the sky. They really put on a light show!! I just think this place rejuvenates your soul. Everyone should be so lucky to spend time here. Thank you Ron & Rachel for your hospitality. 🪻❤️

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.

It was great staying at Samuel’s Airbnb in Asheville! The house was well furnished and beautifully decorated. Highly recommended when when visiting Asheville since super close to downtown!

The view from Ethan’s place was incredible. The primary bathroom and kitchen were also beautiful.

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!
