With two bedrooms and a sofa bed, the cottage invites parties of up to 6 people and pets ($30/pet). Fifteen minutes from the Asheville Airport, half an hour from Asheville, the Pisgah National Forest, and the Blue Ridge Parkway, this location allows quick access to some of the best gems in WNC. Geode Cottage has parking for several cars, a well equipped laundry nook, a fully stocked kitchen, and a dining table. The living room boasts a flat screen TV with access to Netflix, Hulu, and Amazon Prime. The master bedroom is spacious and has an allocated reading nook with a comfy velvet couch. The additional bedroom hosts the second TV with streaming services. Both bedrooms have highly reviewed Tuft and Needle mattresses. The bathroom has a jacuzzi tub and walk in shower that await you after an active day of outdoor adventures, shopping, or brewery/foodie-hopping. There is also an enclosed privacy fence for you or your dogs to enjoy the backyard without the bother of seeing other neighbors. There is a designated fire pit with chairs for your outdoor enjoyment; please be safe! Amenities of the kitchen: \-coffee \-coffee maker \-stove \-microwave \-fridge/freezer \-toaster oven \-salt, pepper, and oil \-blender \-cooking ware \-cooking utensils \-and more, should you need anything specific, please let us know There is no sidewalk or street parking, but there is ample parking in the driveway for several vehicles. The road is 50 ft in front of the house. It offers quick access to downtown and therefore is used frequently, so there is noise from cars. We do like to let guests know that our driveway is around a blind curve, so be careful pulling out of the property. There is, however, a bubble mirror across the street that allows guests to see around the curve for oncoming traffic. Flat rock park and jackson park are less than five minutes away and have many trails. Flat rock park has playgrounds and Jackson park has a great fenced in dog-play area. If you're interested in bringing a pet, the fee is $30 per pet per 5 days. Our guest fee after four people is $25/person/night. We don’t accept any animals that live outdoors, as we like to preserve the wildlife and ecosystem surrounding the property. ## Property amenities ### Internet - Available in the cottage: Free WiFi ### Parking and transport - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Blender - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Electric kettle - Hob - Ice maker - Microwave - Oven - Paper towels - Refrigerator - Spices - Toaster ### Dining - Dining table ### Bedrooms - 2 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 1 bathroom - Bathtub or shower - Hair dryer - Jetted bathtub - Shampoo - Soap - Toilet paper - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Dining table - Living room - Separate dining area ### Entertainment - Smart TV ### Outdoor areas - Firepit - Outdoor furniture ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Comfort - Air conditioning - Heating ### Pets - Pet friendly - Welcoming cats and dogs only - 5 pets total ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoke-free property ### Services and conveniences - Iron/ironing board ### Location highlights - Near a hospital - Near an outlet shopping centre ### Things to do - Birdwatching nearby - Ecotours nearby - Fishing nearby - Hiking/biking trails nearby - Horseback riding nearby - Mountain biking nearby - Rafting nearby - Rock climbing nearby - Swimming nearby - Wildlife walks nearby - Winery tours nearby ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector (host has indicated there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) - First aid kit - Fire extinguisher - Deadbolt lock ### General - Unit size: 1,003 square feet ## Similar properties ![Exterior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/105000000/104340000/104337300/104337243/6af79f75.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### beautiful renovated, comfy, mature garden fire pit, quiet neighborhood in Hendo Hendersonville - Kitchen - Washing machine - Dryer - Pet-friendly 8.6 Excellent 7 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-02-24&endDate=2026-02-25&selected=104337243&PinnedHotelID=104337243&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Property grounds](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/54000000/53620000/53612200/53612178/ce414bc5.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Beautiful sunrises & sunsets atHuckleberry Heaven’s 3.6 acres’ mountain top Hendersonville - Kitchen - Washing machine - Dryer - Free Wi-Fi 10 Exceptional 14 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-02-24&endDate=2026-02-25&selected=53612178&PinnedHotelID=53612178&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Exterior detail](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/107000000/106100000/106090300/106090217/6e069518.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Cottage at Little River - Just Renovated!

Stayed 7 nights in Aug 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jessica 23 Jun 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Geode Cottage! The home was spacious and had everything we needed. The fenced-in back yard was also excellent for our 3 dogs! I will also add that the host was very accommodating, answering our questions and providing recommendations for hikes and places to visit in the area. It can also be very challenging to find a place that will accept 3 dogs of any size and breed, so we appreciate the hosts being so accommodating! I would highly recommend this cottage for anyone traveling with a small family or with their pets!

Very loud and another road across the street where stop sign is has cars lights shining in house all night. Would never stay here…we actually left the first night because of noise and lights. We could not sleep. Host was very prompt in responses but did not offer any refund for the not so “whimsical” stay in the not so good part about of town. There is a junkyard next door. ##### Matthew P.
