Peaceful and just what we were looking for.

We only stay two nights, but would have enjoyed staying even longer. Even though this cabin is close to another and right by the main house, it feels very private. Everything we needed was there, and it was very cozy.

Serene

The Lily Pad is a delightful little place in a serene setting where the pleasant sounds of nature abound. Very relaxing atmosphere with a lovely deck right next to a pond. We would certainly consider staying there again.

Happy at the Lily Pad

The Lily Pad was the perfect place for us! It is close to Biltmore and downtown. We attended a wedding at the NC Arboretum and used the Blue Ridge Parkway (entrance was very close!) to travel there and back. Patty, the Host, responded to emails quickly—if you are looking for a quiet escape, this is your Pad!

Perfect

Perfectly located for blue ridge parkway excursions, Biltmore, folk art center, and downtown Ashville. We were able to stop at the cabin and rest for a few then head back out over and over. It was simply perfect.

Wonderful Asheville Weekend

We have stayed at Patty’s property several times now. It is our first choice when making a weekend trip to Asheville. The Cozy Cottage is just that, cozy, clean and comfortable. The property is close to downtown and convenient to all of our weekend excursions. We love it! Thanks, Patty!

Everything and More!!!

This is such a wonderful little treasure, we were blessed to find it. Ms. Patty was wonderful to work with and we loved getting to see Buddy. If you are even considering this cabin, look no further it is absolutely wonderful. My husband and I can’t wait to return (maybe without the winter storm this time😊).

Easy check-in process, simple kitchen space for short stay, WiFi connectivity was spotty but available, parking is easily seen. Love the atmosphere and privacy, wish we had more time to relax!

Patricia’s place is amazing! It is 10-15min to downtown and just down the street from the Blueridge Pkwy. There is a little pond next to the space and a wonderful deck to sit on and enjoy the great weather.

Much nicer than expected

My wife and I stayed at the Lily Pad cottage for my daughter’s wedding and we couldn’t have been happier with the accommodations. It’s only a few mins from downtown and when you’re there, you feel like you’re much more secluded. It’s a very tranquil spot.
We loved the bamboo
It was fun watching the koi fish from the dock

Great location, perfect cozy room, calming scenery

This cabin is what you would expect in a hotel room without loud other guests or dirty elevators. It is very conveniently located, close to downtown Asheville, the Biltmore, and not too far from Grandfather Mountain. There is a beautiful pond with big goldfish and a fire pit next to a nice running stream. It was very clean and well maintained. Great place to stay. Only negative is that the wifi was very spotty so do not expect to be able to work in the mornings.

Labor Day Weekend Getaway

Enjoyed our stay! Very relaxing. Didn’t realize there was another rental property off the main house, so pulling in we had to share parking with another couple who had to walk behind our unit to get to theirs. Didn’t bother us but can see how that would put other people off. The location was very convenient but secluded and quiet enough to feel like a getaway. The bed is a bit uncomfortable, could go for an extra blanket because the quilt was really thin. Only a few tweaks but mostly it was a great place :)

excellent stay

Great little place for a stay in Asheville. It is a little bit from the main area for activities but only about a 10-15 minute drive. Very quiet and relaxing. Great setting by the pond and amongst the trees. Nicely appointed with all that we needed. Would recommend a stay if you want a quiet spot with a friendly host and don't mind the short drive into town.

Cut stay short

While the cottage was cozy and host was nice, bed was very uncomfortable. This coupled with bad smell that came from the bathroom had my wife and I cut our stay short and head home.
