A mile from Old Fort’s breweries, winery and restaurants. Minutes to I-40 and Black Mountain. Asheville, The Blue Ridge Parkway, Grandfather Mountain, Chimney Rock and Biltmore House are a short drive. Hike and bike the trails in Pisgah National Forest, fish for trout in nearby Mill Creek. Watch wild turkeys or a train headed up the mountain. Perfect for couples, solo adventurers, business travelers, and families (with kids).

The cottage is cozy and quaint, offering a quiet relaxing stay. Stocked breakfast items are included - eggs, coffee, tea and homemade bread - all local, of course! Far enough away from the noise in town, but so convenient to all the area offers. It has everything you need to enjoy a little R&R. Get outside! Play Frisbee or Badminton in the yard or the large field beside the house. Sit by the fire pit and enjoy the evening. If you prefer, curl up with a book or magazine or pick a game available for a variety of ages. WiFi and TV streaming available. Combined living and dining area, FULLY equipped kitchen as well as full-sized laundry facilities. Larger bedroom features a small dresser, closet and a queen-sized bed with a memory foam topper. A double bed, dresser, and closet make up the smaller bedroom.

The Neighborhood

Railway Rest is located just outside the town limits in a quiet and peaceful setting. A vacant field and forested area are adjacent and to the rear of the property allowing guests privacy. Listen to the sound of Mill Creek across the street and enjoy fishing from its banks in town.

Hillman Beer, about a mile from our home has great food and beverages! Whaley Farm Brewing is too and offers craft beer, Abiocco Pizza on site as well as a small farm store with locally grown and/or made items!

Getting Around

Your personal vehicle or bicycle is needed for travel to and from town, or possibly to Black Mountain for the more adventurous cyclist - think Point Lookout Trail! The closest airport is Asheville Regional, approximately 45 minutes. Greenville/Spartanburg or Charlotte are alternates and are approximately 1.5 and 2 hours away, respectively.

If your dates here are booked, check out our new in-town tiny home - Mary Ida's Place - 3094419. Or if you need more space, rent both - they’re about a mile apart.
Located in Old Fort, this vacation home is in a rural area. Arrowhead Monument and Davidson's Fort Historic Park are local landmarks, and the area's natural beauty can be seen at Chimney Rock State Park and Pisgah National Forest. Old Fort Railroad Museum and The Merry Wine Market are also worth visiting. Kayaking and fishing offer great chances to get out on the surrounding water, or you can seek out an adventure with mountain biking and hiking/biking trails nearby.
