Description Description
The Perfect Asheville Getaway--Firefly Cottage is ideal for a group of friends or a couple's romantic escape! Discover the best of Asheville from this convenient location that's close to restaurants, groceries, and area attractions.

A beautifully landscaped home, Firefly Cottage sits back from the road on a spacious property that feels private even though you're just minutes from downtown Asheville. This home is historic to the area, being over 100 years old. It features the original fireplace, wood flooring and wood paneling in the bedrooms. The fencing outside is also over 100 years old, stemming from the home’s past use as a farmhouse.

Firefly Cottage's fully equipped, recently renovated kitchen allows you the ease of making your favorite home cooked meals while on vacation. Or take advantage of the mountain weather and have a cookout on the Char-Broil gas grill. After a day filled with Asheville adventures, cozy up in the living room and watch movies, or take the gathering outside to sit around the fire pit. Of course, in summer you won't want to miss the beautiful firefly light show in the evening. Two bedrooms offer a sound night's sleep, while a sleeper sofa in the living area provides bonus sleeping space. The shared bath includes a full size washer and dryer.

For the ultimate in comfort and convenience, look no further than Firefly Cottage!

Our third visit!
We love this cozy cottage. The location is private and quiet, yet minutes from downtown Asheville. There is a short gravel walkway to an outdoor fire pit.

Me and my dog enjoyed our time over there. We loved how updated and peaceful the cottage was. Only disadvantage was it is so dark outside the property at night so you really need to potty your dog before sundown, maybe installing additional light will help. Hot water runs out pretty quickly so you need to mange shower time accordingly. Fridge water dispenser was not working so come prepared if you drink alot of water. Other than this we loved our stay at the cottage, my dog was sad we had to leave because this was heaven for him

Hey Raghad, Thank you for your review! We're delighted to hear you and your dog enjoyed your stay at Firefly Cottage. We appreciate your feedback on the lighting, hot water, and fridge. We'll look into improving these areas. We're glad your dog felt at home here. Thank you for staying with us!

I had a fantastic stay here and will look to reserve again in the future whenever I am in Asheville. Lots of space outside for fresh air and the attractions of Asheville are a very short and easy drive away. Even spotted a few wild turkeys on the property!

A beautifully restored home offering relaxation!
A beautifully restored home offering relaxation after days filled with hiking, sightseeing, or shopping and dining in downtown Asheville. Its perfect location provided a little solitude. Yet, there was only a short drive to the Biltmore, the Arboretum, and downtown. The lovely home was just as pictured and the hosts provided everything one might need for a stay away from home. Would definitely stay at Firefly Cottage on a future visit.

Big landscaped lawn twinkled with evening fireflies, while forest & fencing provided privacy.
Big landscaped lawn twinkled with evening fireflies, while forest & fencing provided privacy at a small, comfortable cottage. The small porch was especially nice. Ideal location, tucked off a convenient residential road just minutes from River Arts District & downtown Asheville. The door alarm shrieked upon arrival, but the after-hours staff was responsive and quickly resolved the issue. Overall a cozy spot for 2-4 people.
Denise P - Posted: 7/27/2023 - Stayed from: 6/21/2023 to 6/26/2023

The cabin was spacious and clean. The big yard gave an ambiance of privacy that can be rare to find. Although tucked away down some curving roads, only 10-15 minutes from just about anything in Asheville.

We loved our stay here. It was in an amazing location but felt secluded and peaceful. The host was extremely helpful and communicative. If you're looking for a quiet retreat with easy access to everything in Asheville, this is the spot!

A quiet and peaceful home.
How about a quiet, peaceful home on a nice chunk of land that is actually quite close to all that the city of Asheville has to offer? A quick drive puts you in the Arts District or downtown. A slightly longer drive gives you more hiking options than you could possibly conquer in one trip. The home itself is charming and comfortable, and the communication is top-notch. This will be a repeat destination.
Chip C - Posted: 3/23/2023 - Stayed from: 12/27/2022 to 12/30/2022
Such a Cute Little House!
Such a cute little house! It was even better in person and they had EVERYTHING we needed - even folding chairs for the fire pit! The location was perfect, both the proximity to downtown and the physical location of the house from the road - it was private and very quiet. It was our first trip to Asheville and we couldn’t have picked a better place to stay. We will definitely use Carolina Mornings for our next Asheville adventure!
