Private Pond!! Drink in the Beauty! Hiraeth Hill Cottage. Asheville rental!

Enjoy the mountain views at our beautifully charming cozy cottage. Only 15 minutes to Asheville city limits. Drink in the pastoral views from the deck or relax on the dock with fishing pole in hand. Our adorable cottage has 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, one on each level of the cottage, lots of privacy. During the fall and winter months, cozy up to the gas fireplace on the main floor or take a nice relaxing bath in the clawfoot double slipper tub. Relax! Relax! Relax!
The main level has a comfortable queen bed, light and bright sitting room and bath with oversized dual head shower and gorgeous claw foot tub. You will also find the living area with Smart T.V. (No cable, use your accounts) , full kitchen with all the supplies you would need to cook an amazing meal. The back deck off of the kitchen is truly the best part of this rental. Soak up the sunrise on the comfortable outdoor furniture with coffee in hand. ( The outdoor tub is seasonal and can only be used when temperatures stay above 40 degrees.)
The lower level is complete with living area with Smart TV and king bedroom and bathroom with shower. The lower level also has a patio to enjoy the shade.
The fishing dock is there for your pleasure. Bring your fishing rod and enjoy. Please no swimming and it is catch and release.
Due to the close proximity of the pond, we only allow children 12 years and older to stay at our property.
As much as we love pets, we do not allow them at this property. Due to allergies, we take the No Pets policy very seriously, if you are found to have a pet on the property, you will immediately be asked to leave without refund and it will result in a $200 pet fine. We hate to sound so harsh but 2 of our children have severe breathing issues due to pet dander and yes, even the hypoallergenic kind. They reside in the cottage some weekends when home from college.

Please no smoking indoors.
We also have 2 sister properties on an adjoining property “The Carson at Ridgeview” or “The Makenzee at Ridgeview” these are king size glamping bungalows.

Idyllic countryside property still close to Asheville
This beautiful property was exactly what our family of 4 needed! Close to downtown and yet far enough away for blissful relaxation. The darling home was perfectly appointed and we wanted for nothing! Photos do not come close to capturing the beauty of the property and surrounding lands. Stocked pond kept our teenage boys busy catching bluegill and catfish while the adults relaxed in the many picturesque sitting areas. Will definitely return if another opportunity presents itself! A++++

Asheville Mountain Beauty Retreat
Very nice property with beautiful views of the mountains. Very clean, quiet and great quality. Decorations were reminiscent of old farm houses we grew up in and visited as kids. The pond and boat house were really a hit with us, spent a lot of time reading, talking and enjoying the private accommodations. Would definitely recommend and hope to go back again someday.

Getaway with friends
This was our 2nd stay in your lovely home and it did not disappoint. We brought another couple with us and they loved the place as much as we did. The house was clean and had everything we needed. Only disappointment was the fish weren't biting very much this year, but I'm sure we'll be back to try again!

30th Anniversary Get Away
From the minute you walk in the front door you feel at home! The attention to detail and comfort are outstanding. We enjoyed sitting on the back deck enjoying our dinner, the beautiful view and the quiet. My husband loved fishing on the pond and caught a variety of fish. It was my first time fishing and caught a 3 -4 lb large mouth bass and needless to say I'm hooked. The covered porch on the dock was great as I sat and watched my husband fish in the rain! Lower level is just as nice as the top floor. We will definitely be back again. Thanks for opening your home to us!

Magical cottage on beautiful property
This cottage was absolutely beautiful. The decor, the cleanliness, and the unbelievable property, were even better than the pictures. It was the perfect getaway for us, combining peace and quiet and natural beauty, but close enough to the city in the Blue Ridge Parkway to do many different things. We would definitely stay here on another trip to North Carolina.

Country come city!
Loved the location, and the owners are easy to work with. Just outside of the city of Asheville in the scenic NC countryside. Lovely cozy home with all the amenities and a true fish pond! Cozy beds, soft towels, full size washer & dryer, lots of kitchen tools, plenty of privacy. Only drawback, and the reason I gave it four stars, was because have to turn off the heat and open the window to light a fire. We had a cold snap, and having to open a window 6" made the house freezing. So we had to sit right in front of the fireplace to stay warm until we could burn out the fire. But I think nine months out of the year, this little house would be a great choice (unless you don't want to use the fireplace). The HVAC systems (one on each floor!) work great. I would definitely stay here again.

Tranquility Base
On our recent road trip we spent a few days in the Asheville area and decided to opt for some country peace and quiet. We were intrigued by the Hiraeth Hill Cottage listing and we were not disappointed. This cottage is out of a Country Living feature. It is clean, super comfortable, well equipped, furnished and maintained. No detail is missed. Kudos to Jacqui and Josh on a superb property. Jacqui was super responsive at every step from our initial inquiry through check out and follow up. We'd give 6 stars if possible - Looking forward to a return visit!

My husband and I loved staying here. We loved that you could only hear birds chirping and cows mooing when you open the doors. No planes, traffic, or craziness of day to day when you enter the property. It was a great relaxing weekend!

We loved our stay at this property. The location was very convenient to Asheville, but still secluded and quiet. The pond behind the house definitely makes the property. The house was very clean and nice. The only thing I would suggest is more chairs & a fire pit at the pond. Highly recommend this property!
