Welcome to Cedar & Sage Cottage—your peaceful escape just beyond Asheville’s city limits. Nestled in the quiet Oakley neighborhood, our cozy retreat offers the feel of a mountain getaway with the convenience of being close to everything. The scenic Blue Ridge Parkway is just minutes away, and downtown Asheville is never more than a 15-minute drive. Whether you're here to explore or simply unwind, this is your ideal home base for balance, beauty, and relaxation.
You’ll have full, private access to the entire home during your stay—we want you to feel completely at ease. For clarity, there is a locked owner’s armoire in the upstairs primary closet and one secured closet on the main floor; we kindly ask that these remain undisturbed.
The driveway offers free parking for up to four vehicles. It’s a bit narrow, so if you’re bringing a large truck or trailer, you may need to back in or out with care.
For safety, the attic and crawl space are not accessible to guests.
Just ten minutes from downtown Asheville and the Biltmore Estate, Cedar & Sage Cottage is a peaceful, design-forward mountain retreat where comfort and connection come naturally.
Guests love our serene living spaces, soft beds, and thoughtful touches throughout—every detail designed to make your stay effortless and restorative. With three bedrooms, 2.5 baths, and a layout made for gathering, the cottage is perfect for couples, friends, and families alike.
Unwind in the private hot tub under the stars, share stories around the fire pit, or begin your morning with a curated pour-over at the gourmet coffee bar. Inside, cozy textures and modern amenities create ease, while porches and mountain air set the scene for true relaxation.
Practical comforts meet intentional design: infant-ready amenities for little travelers, fast WiFi, reliable cell service, and Uber/Lyft access for nights out in Asheville. Whether you’re here for adventure or stillness, Cedar & Sage Cottage is your peaceful Asheville base.
What Our Guests Are Saying
“This house was a peaceful gem—immaculate, cozy, and thoughtfully stocked. The coffee bar was a family favorite, and the hot tub made our evenings magical. We felt right at home.” – Nicole
“Wow! This was the cleanest and most well-decorated Airbnb we’ve ever stayed in—we seriously didn’t want to leave. It’s just a short drive to great restaurants, the Biltmore, and downtown Asheville. Barb shared great hiking tips, was flexible with early check-in for our baby’s nap, and responded quickly to all questions. Not a single detail was missed—it felt like a five-star hotel. Our kids loved the bunk room, the adorable play space under the stairs, outdoor games, and the hot tub. We only wish we had more time for the porches and fire pit. The coffee and tea stations were amazing. So much thought went into making us feel at home. We’ll definitely stay again on our next trip to Asheville." - Tiffany
