a whimsical stay in the mountains

A cozy stone home with an artistic flair, Geode Cottage is in a neighborhood 1.2 miles from the interstate and 2 miles from downtown Hendersonville. With two bedrooms and a sofa bed, the cottage invites parties of up to 6 people and pets ($30/pet). Fifteen minutes from the Asheville Airport, half an hour from Asheville, the Pisgah National Forest, and the Blue Ridge Parkway, this location allows quick access to some of the best gems in WNC.

Geode Cottage has parking for several cars, a well equipped laundry nook, a fully stocked kitchen, and a dining table. The living room boasts a flat screen TV with access to Netflix, Hulu, and Amazon Prime. The master bedroom is spacious and has an allocated reading nook with a comfy velvet couch. The additional bedroom hosts the second TV with streaming services. Both bedrooms have highly reviewed Tuft and Needle mattresses. The bathroom has a jacuzzi tub and walk in shower that await you after an active day of outdoor adventures, shopping, or brewery/foodie-hopping. There is also an enclosed privacy fence for you or your dogs to enjoy the backyard without the bother of seeing other neighbors. There is a designated fire pit with chairs for your outdoor enjoyment; please be safe!

There is no sidewalk or street parking, but there is ample parking in the driveway for several vehicles. The road is 50 ft in front of the house. It offers quick access to downtown and therefore is used frequently, so there is noise from cars.

We do like to let guests know that our driveway is around a blind curve, so be careful pulling out of the property. There is, however, a bubble mirror across the street that allows guests to see around the curve for oncoming traffic.

Flat rock park and jackson park are less than five minutes away and have many trails. Flat rock park has playgrounds and Jackson park has a great fenced in dog-play area.

If you're interested in bringing a pet, the fee is $30 per pet per 5 days.

Our guest fee after four people is $25/person/night.

We don’t accept any animals that live outdoors, as we like to preserve the wildlife and ecosystem surrounding the property.
The cottage is air-conditioned and features a kitchen and space to spread out with 2 bedrooms and a dining area. Guests can enjoy a Smart TV and stay connected with free WiFi. The bathroom offers a jetted tub and hair dryers. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a coffee maker, and an ironing board.

Wonderful weekend with our grandkids. House was very clean and comfortable with tons of charm. Host was very accommodating and communication was excellent. Very large fenced back yard- perfect for our pups. Looking forward to our next stay at the Geode Cabin!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Geode Cottage! The home was spacious and had everything we needed. The fenced-in back yard was also excellent for our 3 dogs! I will also add that the host was very accommodating, answering our questions and providing recommendations for hikes and places to visit in the area. It can also be very challenging to find a place that will accept 3 dogs of any size and breed, so we appreciate the hosts being so accommodating! I would highly recommend this cottage for anyone traveling with a small family or with their pets! Thank you :)

Very Noisy toad

Very close to heavy traffic road. Very loud and another road across the street where stop sign is has cars lights shining in house all night. Would never stay here…we actually left the first night because of noise and lights. We could not sleep. Host was very prompt in responses but did not offer any refund for the not so “whimsical” stay in the not so good part about of town. There is a junkyard next door.

Cozy home away from home

Close to town. Our dogs absolutely loved the yard. The electric fireplace gave a wonderful ambiance. The bundle of wood was such a nice surprise for the fire pit.

Great location/Cozy and Welcoming

Nicely remodeled. Comfortable beds. Great backyard with tall fence so as to not to see “junkyard” next door. Very convenient location to Flat Rock Playhouse and downtown Hendersonville. Very clean with everything you need, however, small flies throughout the house. Mostly near bathroom. Would stay again!
