Sweet cottage owned/managed by sweet couple

My husband, adult daughter and I recently stayed at Buttercup Cottage along with our 2 dogs. Marti and Dan go above and beyond to welcome you and provide fresh produce from their garden as well as additional breakfast goodies. Location was perfect for us, as we were primarily there to meet other family members in Saluda. I gave a 4 rating for the overall category, primary because the cottage could use some updating. Regardless, we would stay there again.

Great stay in Buttercup Cottage!

Charming cottage in a charming town. The cottage was extremely well equipped including eggs, milk, juice, bread and jam. Everything was very clean and the simplified check-in process was very easy. The location was fantastic as it's walking distance to downtown Saluda and a very easy pretty, drive to adjacent towns. Asheville and Hendersonville are easy to get to for day trips. We also found very nice hiking trails in the vicinity. The hosts offered helpful recommendations for dining and provided extensive information on the surrounding area. We hope to return in several months to see the extensive gardens surrounding the cottage. Great stay!

Sweet Buttercup Cottage

Sweet Buttercup Cottage!! This is lovely place to relax and enjoy the surrounding historic and cultural locations surrounding Saluda. The Cottage is so well stocked with food preparation needs and serving ware. It is a pleasure to make meals to enjoy at the inviting dining nook or on the deck outside. The neighborhood is quiet and friendly and the same can be said for the hamlet of Saluda. We fully intend to return, as there is so much to enjoy after a restful night’s sleep nestled in the Buttercup. Thanks so much dear Hosts!!

Buttercup Cottage is clean, neat , and cozy. Not only did the host leave us delicious breakfast items to start our days (juice, milk, eggs , butter, bakery bread and homemade jam!), but also a fabulous tabulated notebook with catagories including how to set heat/air, work the tv, restaurants in Saluda, medical care, pet care, local grocery sources and sources in nearby Hendersonville: all with thorough directions! This property also includes a great deck area, so peaceful. I highly recommend Buttercup Cottage to anyone who wants to spend a cozy local place in Saluda, NC.

About the host

Hosted by Marti Wells

Host profile image
Originally purchased for a summer getaway. When we retired to Saluda and built our new home, we kept the cottage for family and friends to use when visiting. Later, we decided to open it for short time rentals, so we spruced it up, bought new beds and here we are.

Why they chose this property

We love Saluda! We live here and love sharing with visitors this special place called Saluda.

What makes this property unique

Short easy walk to Main Street Saluda.
Located in a quiet neighborhood, on a dead-end street, we are one of the few truly dog friendly accommodations in Saluda....and we have a yard.
Many of our guests love the deck where they can enjoy their morning coffee or a cocktail while grilling at dinner time. Deck is designed with gate to allow furry guests free access with their humans. We have an extensive summer garden and share the bounty with our guests...they are welcome to pick their own fruits and veggies...can't get fresher than that.
