About this cottage rental

Welcome to the Sallie Lee Cottage! We hope you will enjoy your stay in Asheville in this charmingly renovated Historic Montford Cottage!
The Sallie Lee Cottage is amongst the oldest homes in Asheville and is believed to have been built around 1883. This amazing Cottage has been well preserved and restored to her former glory.
Located less than 1 mile from downtown Asheville!

I stay in the downstairs apartment. I am very respectful of personal space, but always available for any questions you may have!

Our cottage is nestled on a quiet one-way street close to the center of Asheville. The Sallie Cottage is the perfect place to enjoy your well-deserved vacation and break from the everyday. The cottage is one of the oldest homes in Asheville, and is believed to have been built in 1883. She has been well preserved and completely restored!

The cottage located in the Montford area and is within walking distance to downtown Asheville. This cottage is the recipient of both the Carraway Award of Merit from Preservation North Carolina and a Griffin Award from the Preservation Society of Asheville and Buncombe County.

Guests have access to all areas of the home except the lower level basement.

Proud to be a Victorian, the Sallie Lee Cottage is an exquisite example of the architectural wonders of the late 1800s. Around 1880, Sallie Lee built a stick-style Victorian cottage on Ashland Avenue. In doing this, she became the first woman to own a home in Western North Carolina. The cornerstone of this beautiful home centers around the exterior architectural displays of lines, angles, and ornate grids. Furthermore, the interior is equally exceptional, centering around its unique triangular fireplace; which results a distinct Latin cross floor plan.

The home boasts two bedrooms and one full bath. The Butterscotch Room has a fully functioning gas fireplace and access to the Mahogany Tea Room. The Tea Room is bathed in sunlight and offers access to the homes' two front porches! Enjoy a warm cup of tea relaxing in a vintage velvet chair. Lastly, the Terracotta Room has a full sized wardrobe which was built using the original flooring pulled from the home during the restoration process. Each bedroom has a brand new queen sized bed and plenty of natural light.

The bathroom offers a full sized bathtub and shower, plush towels and essential toiletries, just in case!

The cozy living room is inviting for great conversation centered around the gas fireplace. Shared with the dining space, the home also utilizes Google Home for anything and everything the internet has to offer.

The unique floor plan continues in to the kitchen where you will find the cabinets completely stocked and ready for any chef!

The property offers off-street parking with a private driveway and fits up to two vehicles. Additional parking available on street.

Walking is always an option! As we are 2 blocks from downtown Asheville!! Otherwise, Uber and Lyft are great options as well!

    So MUCH enjoyed this visit to Asheville. The aesthetics and coziness of this location was unexpected. I often travel to explore the city, but this particular location was so inviting. I was never in a rush to get out the door for any event or reservation.The layout of the bedrooms, sitting area & spacious bathroom were ideal for a restful getaway. The location is ideal – a short walk to downtown Asheville or enjoy an extended neighborhood walk through the beautiful streets of Montford. For the Coffee aficionado’s out there – the All Day Darling is minutes away to meet your morning or late afternoon needs. Their dining options are worth noting as well. Thank you for an incredible stay!

    House was comfortable. Couldn’t get the dishwasher to work. Drive way was a bit tricky to exit my due to a narrow street and parked vehicles opposite of the driveway. I accidentally set off the smoke alarm while heating a pizza in the oven but got th smoke out and turned off the smoke alarms.
