Sparrow Cottage | Charming Arts & Crafts Cottage with Grill, Fire Pit & Mountaintop Views!

Sleep alongside the tree tops at Sparrow Cottage, a charming arts and crafts style 2 bedroom cottage that overlooks the mountains within the picturesque, upscale Village of Cheshire. This home is only a short 15-minute drive away from Asheville and mere minutes away from downtown Black Mountain. It is also within walking distance of the YMCA (pool, tennis, and fitness center) and the Village of Cheshire town center. Here you will find several dining options including Beradu, a new restaurant, bar, and specialty market, or Sake Sushi, which boasts high-quality Japanese cuisine.

The interior of Sparrow Cottage was recently fully updated, including the addition of a spacious downstairs bedroom and bathroom (complete with walk-in shower) connected by interior stairs. Sparrow Cottage also has hardwood floors and fresh paint throughout. This 3-level home has 2 bedrooms, each with a luxurious king-sized bed and a full bathroom. The downstairs bedroom also features a new Roku-based LCD smart TV, a brand-new sofa, a sitting chair, and a coffee table. Up the stairs, you'll find similar new features alongside a full bath with a spacious shower and laundry area with a washer and dryer. The upstairs bedroom does not have a TV but features a deck for viewing High Windy Mountain while sipping on your beverage of choice!

The main level has a new LCD Smart TV with a new soundbar, new furniture, a new refrigerator, microwave, Nespresso, cooking utensils, and dishes. The living room features a gas-log fireplace and a new kitchen table and chairs. Step out on the deck and relax under the stars. Use the new Weber grill year-round to grill fresh foods for an enjoyable feast. Gather around the outdoor fire pit to stay warm on those chilly nights. Fresh linens and towels are provided for your convenience, and a mini-split A/C system was installed upstairs to enhance your overall comfort.

Please Note: Due to the owners' severe allergies, no pets are allowed. This home has 2 exterior cameras (one on the main level front porch and the other on the lower level entry area). The fire pit and chairs are stored beneath the deck when not in use to make room for overflow parking.
Make yourself comfortable in this air-conditioned vacation home, which features a fireplace. There's a private balcony. A kitchen is outfitted with a refrigerator, an oven, and a stovetop. Complimentary wireless internet access is available to keep you connected.
This smoke-free vacation home features games, hiking/biking trails nearby, and mountain biking nearby.
Guests will find features like internet access and onsite parking.

Christmas 2022

We enjoyed a few days at Christmas. The house is nicely set up for two couples with bed/bath on ground and top levels. Kitchen is well equipped. The neighborhood is close to town and quick access to Asheville. Note - the houses in Cheshire are close together if this matters to you. The driveway is steep but you get used to it.

Fun Mountain Weekend!

We enjoyed our time here! The house was in a great location, and the neighborhood is very nice. I will say the drive way is extremely steep, so if you don’t have an SUV or car with 4WD and some clearance it will be difficult to get in and out.

Cozy & Great Location

We make a couple visits a year to Asheville area, have been visiting Black Mountain area more… This property was great for us!! It was cozy, clean, had a nice balcony - with a nice view… Good walking in the neighborhood, close to everything in Black Mountain…not a far drive to Asheville. Easy Check- In, and communication was good!! Driveway is steep - short road up to the alley, that goes to the driveway is steep… We had no problems, and are used to this - to get a nice view. Great visit - we look forward to returning

Beautiful Cottage in Black Mountain

This cottage is in a very nice, private neighborhood and very close to downtown Black Mountain. The cottage was very clean and well maintained. I would recommend having an SUV to navigate the gravel lane to the cottage drive as it was pretty rough and prone to dragging in a sedan.

Great Location and Vacation Home

My family spent Labor Day weekend at the cottage and exploring nearby trails along the neighborhood. We especially loved the creek and beauty of the landscape. View from the patio was gorgeous. Floor plan was awesome for 4 of us- kids downstairs and parents upstairs. We were very close to the Biltmore, mountains, and restaurants. This house did not disappoint and we will definitely come back. Expectations for garbage, parking, etc was very well outlined on the communication leading up to our stay.

Would Buy the cottage if I could!

Sparrow cottage in Villages of Cheshire was perfect! Charming neighborhood, walked paths through wooded areas, walked for dinner/drinks in village, loved Black Mountain’s quaint town with shops, breweries, restaurants. 12 miles from Asheville. We are already planning return trip.

Sparrow cottage

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Everything was nice, but bed was extremely hard. Woke up every day with a backache. Not sure why they ask you to park down at lower level, and then not be able to use it. Had to climb steep hill to get to front door. DVD player did not work.

Weekend Getaway

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We spent a long weekend visiting Asheville and Black Mountain. The cottage was an easy 10 - 15 minute drive from both.
