Beautiful Mountain Getaway - All Four Breathtaking Seasons!
Enjoy the enchanting Firefly Cottage at Mistletoe Hill. -- our winter months welcome yet another breathtaking season here in the Blue Ridge Mountains! Nearby waterfalls are tumbling, creeks are rushing, the weather is mild, and Main Street is bustling. Biltmore Estate and the Grove Park Inn are full of seasonsl beauty -- all it needs is YOU here to enjoy it!
It's a PERFECT TIME to come and enjoy this beautiful season and stay at a remarkable cottage.
Majestic tree-lined drive leads to charming storybook cottage in the midst of privately owned "Mistletoe Hill" property just a short drive to downtown Hendersonville, the Biltmore Estate, Pisgah Forest, the Green River (whitewater and tubing), the Tryon International Equestrian Center, Flat Rock Playhouse/NC State Theater, hiking trails, the three county "land of 1000 waterfalls" and the Smoky Mountains!
Ideal for a couple (or friends traveling together), in the former carriage house on a beautiful property setting adjacent to the owners updated historic 1930's home. Designed with all the amenities you could desire for a vacation getaway -- and a spacious, relaxed, mountain-style that the country-squire Lauren himself would approve! On truly beautiful property that was formerly part of the French Chanteloupe estate owned by Count Choseuil from France, via his appointment in Charleston. Your own private deck, a quietly gurgling water garden beside your cottage, a magnificent 350 year oak tree in your back yard -- with your own tree swing waiting for you! And yes, a great firepit. Beautifully decorated and appointed.
And Firefly Cottage is always completely sanitized from top to bottom between guests.
Located approximately 2 miles from the antique shops, galleries, fabulous restaurants and boutiques of delightful downtown Hendersonville -- and a short drive from the cottage to Dupont State Forest, Pisgah Forest and other outdoor attractions.
We love sharing our beautiful guest house and property with others. If you have any questions please feel free to ask us. If we don't know, perhaps Jax, our handsome Old English Sheepdog (think Nana in Peter Pan!) will know!

About the host
Hosted by Roger Belford and Denise Medved
Denise and Roger moved from Carmel, California in 1995 to purchase this beautiful home and property which they love. Denise who spent 10 years with Pebble Beach and Roger who was a general engineering and electrical contractor constructing those frustrating traffic signals we all know and love. Roger grew up in Brooklyn NY and Long Island -- Denise grew up in Raccoon Valley TN -- no kidding! Roger loves to build and create and has lovingly and beautifully remodeled the entire home from roof to lower level, incorporating many elegant and unique features. Denise loves dance and fitness and has created an international brain elasticity program called Ageless Grace.
Why they chose this property
It has an unbelievable 200 foot long entrance drive, lined by magnificent 100 foot tall Norwegian Pines, which caused us to fall in love at first sight. The home is comfortable, spacious and charming as well the cottage.
What makes this property unique
We are situated within 2 miles of historic downtown Hendersonville -- and yet it feels as if we are located deep within a country mountain setting. The 350 year old oak tree which canopies Firefly Cottage at Mistletoe Hill captivated our hearts with the rope swing of our childhoods! Beautiful water garden trickles between the cottage and owner's home.
