About this house rental

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 security 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.

Sparrow was just the spot to enjoy all that Black Mountain had to offer- great restaurants, hiking, fishing and time in town.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We and another couple shared this house for a 4-day getaway in early October. It met our needs perfectly. We were so grateful to find a house with 2 extremely comfortable king beds, separate bathrooms, and a kitchen that allowed us to cook and eat in. We used the gas grill on several occasions. Stairs to up and downstairs sleeping spaces were a bit steep, but we managed. As others have said, the driveway was also a little crazy. Decor was tasteful, modern, and neutral, much appreciated. Watch out for the bear that greeted us outside the front door when we returned one afternoon! Black Mountain is a wonderful reprieve from hectic Asheville!

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This is the second time my husband and I have rented a house from Greybeard in the same community in Black Mountain. This house was just as great as the first one. It's the perfect house for two couples since one bedroom is upstairs and one bedroom is down stairs. Plenty of privacy for each couple along with a terrific shared living and kitchen area. I would highly recommend this property to anyone looking for a beautiful and quiet location. Plus, it's a short ride to downtown Asheville -- giving you the best of both worlds. This is a wonderful house in a wonderful location!

Bedrooms were either up or down stairs. Which we knew going in. We just didn't realize how old we had gotten since we had pulled a lot of steps. However, by the end of the week, we were doing much better going up and down the stairs. This is a great house for young people. The drive way was not easy to navigate. We also knew this going in. Would come back to this neighborhood, but not this particular house, because of the above mentioned difficulties for us.

You are about 3-5 minutes other grocery stores, Starbucks, & other fast food locations. 3 min from the interstate 40, 5 min from downtown Black Mtn. Approximately 15 min from the Biltmore Estate, & the Blueridge Parkway and many sites and attractions. I was pleasantly surprised & extremely pleased with the accomadatios & location.

Lots of room. Kitchen well equipped and updated. Some very nice touches for guests. Beds were comfortable. Only drawback was that back in Sept. 2017, I was told that the A/C for upstairs would be corrected "soon". It wasn't when we arrived in May. Got a bit warm up there. Thank goodness it wasn't hot out or we would have been very unhappy. Parking was a bit awkward, but we managed. Neighborhood is very cute and very quiet at night. Drive was only about 15-20 minutes from Asheville. Black Mountain is nice, but shops all close early. Also, flooding issue hampered some activities. We would return to area and would stay at Sparrow Cottage again if A/C is corrected.

Our two daughters visited on the weekend so it was great to have two king size beds and two full baths. The downstairs bedroom is HUGE and we probably should have nabbed that bedroom instead of the upstairs (which has a view and balcony). Kitchen had all we needed and the common area was fine for our (perfect for two). The location is GREAT and it was super easy to drive into Asheville for dinner...highway the entire way. Our only small complaint is we wish we had a covered porch. It would have been nice to have someone where to sit, read and relax on rainy days. Otherwise all was perfect!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We booked this house in September for thanksgiving week. We hand never traveled to Asheville and were looking for somewhere to stay that was close to everything but still in the mountains. I was surprised at how small this house actually was. We paid $375 per night and had one actual bedroom and bathroom upstairs. If you google the address here is shows it's a 1 bedroom 1.5 baths with 852 sq ft. This was very small for a family of 4. They made the downstairs basement into their 2nd bedroom and added a bathroom as well. I would not consider this to be a 2 bedroom house as advertised. The house was very clean and comfortable overall. You will get locked out of the house exactly at 10am in check out day so make sure you do not need to re-enter for any reason. The neighborhood was beautiful and we enjoyed dining at the Trailhead restaurant nearby. I would only recommend this property if it was advertised as it's true size and the price wasn't so high, even though it was thanksgiving week- almost $400 a night for a small 1 bedroom house is very high.
