Hilltop Cottage - Hot Tub - Fireplaces - Grill - Fenced - WiFi - Pets OK

Hilltop Cottage

Hilltop is a comfortable cottage built on a hill with mountain views. Imagine driving down a country lane to a cabin nestled in the woodland. The cottage is on a quiet, peaceful street conveniently located between Brevard and Hendersonville. There are 2 large porches where you can eat meals outside, have your morning coffee, or just enjoy relaxing in the mountain air. The Hot Tub is under the covered porch. There is a nice view of the woods and longer range mountain views during winter.

Inside the living room you'll find a custom fireplace to keep you warm and toasty in cold weather and a flat screen smart TV. Downstairs is a 2nd living room with another fireplace and flat screen TV; it also has a gaming table with cards & chips and other board games. The bathroom includes a tub/shower combo. The kitchen features all the essentials from dishes, cups, utensils, pots/pans, and basic spices.

In spring millions of wildflowers bloom in the area and in the summer the rhododendron and mountain laurel bloom. Fall has cool nights and wonderful fall color. We also have a park style grill for outdoor grilling over wood or charcoal.

In the summer you'll relish the chance to breathe fresh, cool mountain air as people have for generations.

2 bedrooms. Full laundry, full kitchen.

Hilltop Cottage an awful experience

WOW Hilltop cottage, what a terrible place. Dirty surfaces, hair and soap scum in the bathtub and sink, urine stained carpet, just filthy. I contacted the owner several moths prior to our vacation and asked what the cleaning protocol is during the pandemic. The owner Darla assured me that they have stepped up cleaning due to the COVID-19 pandemic. I’m not sure what world she lives in if she considers this clean. The cottage appears to be furnished with curb side furniture and housewares. Very uncomfortable. If you enjoy spending time in the lawn with your family and or pets, don’t plan on doing that in this yard. Steep terrain, large pot holes, stumps, boulders, overgrown shrubs, weeds out of control. A good place to sprain an ankle or break a leg. Another area the owner is neglecting. This owner chose to be in the hospitality business. She should take a few courses in the hospitality field and customer service. It is clear she is only concerned about taking your money. If you are thinking of staying here, I recommend you run as fast as you can.

It was a wonderful relaxing time at Hill Top. There wasn’t one thing that was overlooked by the owners. The house was immaculately clean, ready and comfortable for guest. It actually felt like being at home. Relaxing in the hot tub was a wonderful way to end the day. Hill Top is our place to stay from now on when we come to N.C.

Outstanding stay

We had to find a place for 3 weeks while between houses and could not have chose better. Super cute, comfortable and clean. Very attentive owners even dropping off a Christmas tree and lights. It really felt like home. Enjoyed the fireplaces and hottube and grocery store 2.5 miles away as well as really close to Brevard. Thanks so much, we highly recommend it.

Great place outside Asheville/ Hendersonville

Great place in the quiet, 15 mins to Hendersonville, 30 mins to airport. House is spotless. Washer/ dryer available, ample parking. Screened porch with ceiling fan in front, small porch and charcoal BBQ in back. Many staples are there- salt/ pepper/ coffee/ filters so you don’t have to buy whole containers to cook 1 meal. New Publix , Walgreens, and CVS is 15 mins away. 2 gas fireplaces, large flat screen, wifi- cottage delivered on its description and then some. Great base for exploring Hendersonville and Asheville.

Do not hesitate to book this place! The owners thought of everything you could possibly need. Quiet but convenient location, great Wi-Fi, a fully loaded Smart TV, a nice hot tub perfect for after our hikes, and more.

Perfect location for waterfalls

Wonderful, very clean property close to many waterfalls. The screened-in porch and hot tub were delightful. There are two living rooms--one up, one down--which would allow for children and parents to have some separation if desired. We brought our dogs and they loved the yard. Owner was responsive and professional. Highly recommend--a great value.

Amazing Getaway!

We had a great time escaping reality for a few days tucked away in this Hilltop retreat. it was amazing to have a hot tub to soak away our cares in. The fireplaces gave great comfort and were really nice to have in this getaway. The location is awesome. You feel a bit secluded while not being too far at all from lots of really fun things to do. This was a great vacation and cannot wait to come back!
