Come pet the farm animals and enjoy mountain views

The Cottage of Color awaits you in a tranquil setting on a 40 acre farm where you can rest, relax and enjoy the majestic beauty of the mountains just outside the front door. Also tour Asheville, Biltmore Estate, Hendersonville, Black Mountain, and experience all the activities and scenery Western North Carolina has to offer. Cook lunch in the newly renovated kitchen, swing in the hammock on the back porch, watch the fireflies light up the pastures, or simply enjoy the wifi and cable included in your stay.
Pamper yourself in the privacy of this fully furnished 2 bedroom, 1 bath cottage with one level living space of 1000 sq. foot. Top of the line king and queen beds await you wrapped in fine linens. Feel free to throw something on the BBQ grill, take advantage of your fully equipped kitchen for those home cooked meals or take a 10 minute drive to the area's many restaurants. Your kitchen includes a refrigerator with ice maker, electric cook-top with oven, dishwasher, microwave, Keurig coffee pot, toaster, blender and all the cooking utensils you will need to complete your meals.
When the weather gets a chill, feel free to turn on the gas fireplace and warm your feet. Bring those bikes and ride the adjacent road for peaceful easy riding. The kids will enjoy the large yard, and possibly the chance to pet the resident goats and cows. Come out early in the morning, or late in the evening, and grab a chance to bottle feed one of the many farm animals being raised next door. Feel free to have us be your one stop shop. We can have your fridge full of all you require for your trip upon arrival. Should you need a babysitter, we have licensed sitters available for hire through a local nanny exchange. Maybe it's a special occasion--We are here to make it memorable. No request is too large or small. We look forward to being your cottage to visit, and make memories for years to come.

Unreasonable host!
Host would not cancel reservation even though communicated many times. His home I guess was not damaged by the hurricane Helene but the surrounding area, roads and main town of Asheville was severely damaged by flooding. I had to cancel all plans in the area. I even tried to negotiate a 50% refund with no response.

Great stay at this little cottage. We stayed with my daughter and 2 of her friends and our 2 dogs. Very clean house and a great place to rest at night after all our adventures in the surrounding mountains. Very close to Asheville for some fantastic dinner options. We will be going back.

Go see for yourself!
This house is beautiful. Yes, there’s only one bathroom so I wouldn’t go with a large group of people. However, this was the perfect spot for our honeymoon. You sit on the porch and there’s quiet. The views are amazing. The interior is extremely well done and the house was very clean. It’s a great place.

Perfect place to stay!
I hate it’s taken me so long to leave a review, life has been BUSY!! We stayed here for Easter weekend (2023), and it was perfect!! Our 12 year old loved the space we had for him to run around, even though it was freezing and pouring, he STILL made it outside like any boy would do! The home itself is so cute and perfectly decorated. The size was perfect for us and all the included things made it so easy to settle in with no worries. It’s just a short BEAUTIFUL drive from downtown Asheville, perfectly settled away from the hustle and bustle of the downtown area. This will DEFINITELY be our place to stay during any of our Asheville trips! Oh, and I must add, the owner was able to work it out to where we could check in just a little earlier, which was a life saver. It was POURING when we arrive is Asheville (that really is an understatement) and the owner was able to work it out to where we could check in a little early! I was and am so appreciative of that. You don’t need to look any further, THIS IS YOIR PLACE TO STAY!!!

If you are looking for rolling hills off a winding road, quiet (except for a few farm animal sounds), and a beautiful night sky, this cozy, clean, well equipped cottage is for you.

Great place
I love this cabin, clean and comfy. The drive up the mountain was fun and scary at the same time. We had Thanksgiving dinner in the cabin and I did bring some cookware with me thinking supply may be limited for a big meal. I’m glad I did that but there is enough if you’re not making a lot of side. Would love to go back in the winter!

Our Second Stay
This cottage is a great getaway when you need some R&R. Very peaceful location and great views, very clean and comfortable accommodations, and just a short drive to Biltmore, West Asheville, and lots of wonderful outdoor activities. This is one of our favorite places to stay and we will definitely be back! Thank you , April!!

We really enjoyed the Cottage of Color. The inside was amazing and the view of the mountains just sealed the deal. The snow that came in was definitely a added bonus. We will definitely come back in the future.

Everything in the home was perfect! Loved the shower, rustic floors, and full kitchen. My 2 yo pup LOVED roaming the property and playing with goats. Wish we would have been there 3 weeks later as everything in the area was beginning to bloom. Thank you for the wonderful stay!

Beautiful House to Spend time in
This was a beautifully decorated house that was just as nice as the description. I would recommend it highly as a place just outside town that is nice and quiet, but easy enough to head into town.

Experience Asheville
My husband, daughter and I came for a Christmas getaway and tour of the Biltmore and the Asheville area. This is a small place but nicely decorated and has everything you need. It was a little weird to be away for Christmas and we probably won’t do it again, but the tour of the Biltmore at Christmas was magical. The rest of the area is very nice and so unusually warm that we were really able to walk and explore downtown. We also were able to spend a lot of time on the nice deck at this home, which is quite spacious and comfortable - very unusual for late Dec! It’s always fun to check out a new city with the comforts of home.

Very nice clean place,very quiet and close to all activities In Asheville.
It’s was great, the owner of the property needs to be aware of the entrance steps. It’s painted cement and they get very slippery when wet. My wife slipped on them and sprained her wrist. Maybe they should put non skid strips on them. I too slipped on them even after being aware they were wet and walking carefully.

The perfect getaway
My wife and I and our two Cavalier King Charles Spaniels spent a week at the Cottage of Color. The wide open pasture was the perfect playground for the pups and we all loved visiting with the goats and cows. Spectacular location and views and the accommodations were first class. We will definitely be back.
