Escape to this newly renovated private home with a vibrant, cozy style and modern amenities. The eclectic cottage-style furnishings are inviting and comfortable for relaxing.

Silverline Park on the French Broad River is right across the street.

This escape is ideal for couples, small families, remote workers, close friends, and outdoor adventurers!

The cottage is set on a quiet, neighborhood street above Riverside Drive. Woodfin is a small residential town desired locally for its easy access to many areas of Asheville.

Getting around is easy by car... There is a park next to the river across the street from the house. This is not a walking Airbnb - it will suit a group that wants to explore all of the sites in Asheville by car and return to a wonderful, clean, and cozy spot.

There are plenty of nearby attractions...

- South Slope Brewing District (7 minutes)

This is truly a wonderful gem. The home was nicely appointed and immaculate. The bed was comfortable and the kitchen had everything I needed. You’re close to both Asheville AND Weaverville. TV had a bunch of terrific selections and the sign in to internet was easy. I would stay in this spot on every visit. Was just minutes from relatives in Woodfin. Super value.

Great house and location! Close to Asheville and Weaverville. House is clean, comfortable and well equipped with what you need. My husband and I stayed for two weeks between house closings and we couldn’t have picked a better place!

Ladies Week

This was the perfect home for a small gathering of three generations of women in my family. Everything being on one level, as well as the simpler backdoor access, proved very helpful for those of us with limited mobility. There were lots of personal touches that made us feel at home, coffee supplies, books and puzzles, welcoming furniture. Grocery stores, UNCA, multiple small towns to explore, are all within a few minutes and the drive is beautiful. The neighbors were friendly and quiet, with almost zero traffic close to the house. We're all looking forward to our next visit to the Asheville area.
