About this cottage rental

Built in 1944 and originally named the Jalowetz Cottage after the German music composer who lived there with his wife, this cottage was built as a Black Mountain College student project under the direction of Lawrence Kocher, a modern architect. He inspired his students to work with locally found materials, and to create space that was small in square footage yet felt spacious and inspiring. The cottage has been renovated and added onto over the years with a fantastic deck, master bedroom with jetted tub, full kitchen and more. It is decorated with internationally themed original art and photographs.
The deck overlooks a meadow and stream that quietly babbles on its way to our private lake set on our 70+ acre property, surrounded by 360 degree mountain views.

    A beautiful cabin in a lovely park like neighborhood. It would be a great place for a longer stay. We will definitely rent this again!

    We enjoyed our stay at this historic cottage and the space was decorated beautifully. The bed was comfy and there was lots of privacy which was wonderful. The fire pit was even loaded and ready for a fire which was so thoughtful. During an evening walk, we made the grave mistake of walking across to the other side of the road to enjoy the sunset at the lake when a boy's camp staff person came running over to yell at us and tell us we were not allowed on that side of the road. Apparently, one side of the road is okay to be on and one side is not depending on whether you're a guest of Lake Eden retreats, or the boy's camp. We looked everywhere but there were no signs to let us know this. I can just imagine how menacing we must have looked as a retired couple with a dog on a leash taking in the sunset to warrant such a fierce response. lol

    Our stay was wonderful! The additions of the historic photos depicting the cottage during the time of black mountain college added to its rich history and sense of place. This cottage is sacred to our family and it provided much needed togetherness. Thank you!

    Great place to stay, secluded and quiet location yet still close to Asheville and other attractions. The house was clean and cozy, a relaxing place to stay.

    Cottage nice, a bit rustic. Beautiful setting. Dishwasher did not work even after handy man showed us how to turn it on. Toaster did not work. Dryer would not heat. Not wheelchair/walker accessible. Several steps both ways. Brother only stayed 1night with his wife because of this, she uses a walker due to MD. Disappointed in that.
