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.

Be sure to check out all of our properties here or at the Lake Eden Events & Lodging website!

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.

Definitely recommend staying here. We came for the snow and we got it! The owners were very accommodating as we got snowed in and needed to stay an extra night. Also, stove stopped working and they brought over a hot plate. The dogs loved the snow and playing on the mountain. The only downside was they don’t have cable or a smart tv, which wasn’t listed on the online description, I just didn’t realize. So come prepared for that. Other than that the place was a perfect getaway!

We greatly enjoyed our stay at this beautiful home surrounded by woods in the mountains! We were assisted in person checking in, and Leigh was gracious and helpful. The home was even more beautiful than the pictures suggested, with ambient light throughout, a wrap around deck and luxury accommodations. We liked it so much when we walked in that we decided to stay an additional night! We were close to both Asheville and Black Mountain, which is a lovely smaller town filled with breweries, shops and restaurants. Highly recommend!
