We are always happy to see our return guests, this time in the Spring. The spring leaves are out and everything is turning green. Dan is getting garden ready to grow our wonderful vegetables (which our guests can enjoy while here). The area has been recovering from Hurricane Helene (last fall) and much is back to normal, hiking trails open, restaurants and stores back in full swing. See you again soon.

We are always happy to share this beautiful part of N.C. Our quiet little town has lots of good things to offer nearby, from the stately Biltmore Estate in Asheville to the "longest and fastest" zip line in the country right here in Saluda. Hiking and great views along the Blue Ridge Parkway. Tubing and Kayaking in the warmer months. Throw in boutique shops, great restaurants, theater and even outlet mall shopping within 45 minutes of our door. And in the summer, we have a large veggie garden we share with our guests. Come back to see us soon. Marti Wells, Proprietor

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.
