About this property
Cozy cottage minutes from downtown Asheville with a countryside feel
Come relax in this cozy cottage in the historic Chunns Cove community, conveniently located only 3 miles from downtown Asheville. The perfect size for an individual or couple, this retreat offers a uniquely decorated and well appointed interior, with the feel of an English country cottage on the exterior. Queen size bed with plush bedding, comfy chaise lounge in the sunny reading nook, and kitchenette that doubles as flex work space with bar stools.
Please read before booking!
The bathroom has a shower and toilet, however the only sink is located in the kitchen. Also being as this space was built when folks were a bit smaller, please note the shower measures 77” high (6ft 5”) but the shower threshold measures just 65” (5ft 5”) high, so some folks will need to duck under to enter! See bathroom section for more details.
There are 2 Adirondack chairs in the yard with a fire pit for your enjoyment. Please supply your own wood and make sure fires are completely extinguished.
The driveway is paved and is a shared circular parking area. Some guests with large trucks or SUVs have noted it can be difficult to maneuver, so just keep that in mind if you drive a larger vehicle. Mid size SUVs do not seem to have issues (host drives a Trailblazer and have no problems).

About the host
Hosted by Austin Lechner

Hi! We are Austin and Sarah, your hosts. We are partners in both business and life, together operating Altitude Real Estate Group, a brokerage based in Asheville NC and serving all of WNC! Austin grew up right here in Asheville, and Sarah has been here since 2011. We are an adventurous couple, enjoying travel, scuba diving, working on projects together, hanging out with our cat, and going to the movies as much as possible. Austin has been a host for a few years with his own property in Asheville, and we are excited to get started hosting together! Welcome to Asheville!
Why they chose this property
We love the Iron & Ivy cottage because it gives visitors the best of both worlds. You're in the country side, yet only minutes from downtown and all the incredible food, music, and shopping it offers. Chunns Cove, the location of the cottage, is a very unique part of Asheville. It has a lot of history, and you can feel it as you drive past the horse pastures and homes with true character.
What makes this property unique
The owners of the cottage have decorated it in a unique way that mixes a sort of "steam punk" feel with old world luxury. You'll notice old iron gears on the mantle, a light fixure made of an old torpedo, and a collection of old shell casings and bank notes within the glass table in the corner!
