About this property

Beautiful Mountain Getaway - All Four Breathtaking Seasons!

Enjoy the enchanting Firefly Cottage at Mistletoe Hill. -- our winter months welcome yet another breathtaking season here in the Blue Ridge Mountains! Nearby waterfalls are tumbling, creeks are rushing, the weather is mild, and Main Street is bustling. Biltmore Estate and the Grove Park Inn are full of seasonsl beauty -- all it needs is YOU here to enjoy it!
It's a PERFECT TIME to come and enjoy this beautiful season and stay at a remarkable cottage.
Majestic tree-lined drive leads to charming storybook cottage in the midst of privately owned "Mistletoe Hill" property just a short drive to downtown Hendersonville, the Biltmore Estate, Pisgah Forest, the Green River (whitewater and tubing), the Tryon International Equestrian Center, Flat Rock Playhouse/NC State Theater, hiking trails, the three county "land of 1000 waterfalls" and the Smoky Mountains!
Ideal for a couple (or friends traveling together), in the former carriage house on a beautiful property setting adjacent to the owners updated historic 1930's home. Designed with all the amenities you could desire for a vacation getaway -- and a spacious, relaxed, mountain-style that the country-squire Lauren himself would approve! On truly beautiful property that was formerly part of the French Chanteloupe estate owned by Count Choseuil from France, via his appointment in Charleston. Your own private deck, a quietly gurgling water garden beside your cottage, a magnificent 350 year oak tree in your back yard -- with your own tree swing waiting for you! And yes, a great firepit. Beautifully decorated and appointed.
And Firefly Cottage is always completely sanitized from top to bottom between guests.

Located approximately 2 miles from the antique shops, galleries, fabulous restaurants and boutiques of delightful downtown Hendersonville -- and a short drive from the cottage to Dupont State Forest, Pisgah Forest and other outdoor attractions.

We love sharing our beautiful guest house and property with others. If you have any questions please feel free to ask us. If we don't know, perhaps Jax, our handsome Old English Sheepdog (think Nana in Peter Pan!) will know!

Nearby – The Gorge Zip Line, Flat Rock Playhouse, the state theater of NC, world-renown Biltmore Estate, Sierra Nevada Brewery, Chimney Rock (where Last of the Mahicans filming took place), DuPont State Forest, Pisgah National Forest, the Blue Ridge Parkway, Tryon International Equestrian Center, Lake Lure (where Dirty Dancing filming took place), Carl Sandburg's Home, Johnson Farm, Trout Fishing, Whitewater Rafting and Sliding Rock.

A trip with my daughter

Fun mother/daughter getaway. The owners were very friendly and we loved playing with smoky the dog while we were there! My only points for owners to consider were 1) dust and cobwebs in the corners and 2) washer and pullout could use more attention.

wonderful stay

My husband and I had a wonderful time in Hendersonville. We both feel that this was one of the nicest places we have stayed! I loved everything about it. It was private with beautiful surroundings and a lovely back patio. The owners were very friendly and welcoming and had a very sweet dog! The only bad thing for us is that it was a bit far from the family we were visiting with, so we may not stay again. It was perfect!!!!

Great cottage

This property was the perfect size for one or two people. It is beautifully decorated and very comfortable. The location was good.I was traveling alone and wanted to do some hiking. The Holmes forest and the Dupont Recreational forest were a short drive away and offered many trails. Owners were very friendly --including their sheep dog, Smokey! Highly recommend.

This is the third time we have enjoyed staying in this cozy cabin. Roger always has the cabin prepared and this time even had it ready a couple hours early. The price is reasonable and the location is convenient to Flatrock and Hendersonville! Thanks again!

Peaceful Cottage

This is an exceptional stay just for two! It is on a quiet street and yet about 5 minutes from downtown Hendersonville, for shopping and dining. A great garden center just down the street. The fireflies put on a show each time we have stayed here. It is a favorite stay for us!

About the host

Hosted by Roger Belford and Denise Medved

Host profile image
Denise and Roger moved from Carmel, California in 1995 to purchase this beautiful home and property which they love. Denise who spent 10 years with Pebble Beach and Roger who was a general engineering and electrical contractor constructing those frustrating traffic signals we all know and love. Roger grew up in Brooklyn NY and Long Island -- Denise grew up in Raccoon Valley TN -- no kidding! Roger loves to build and create and has lovingly and beautifully remodeled the entire home from roof to lower level, incorporating many elegant and unique features. Denise loves dance and fitness and has created an international brain elasticity program called Ageless Grace.

Why they chose this property

It has an unbelievable 200 foot long entrance drive, lined by magnificent 100 foot tall Norwegian Pines, which caused us to fall in love at first sight. The home is comfortable, spacious and charming as well the cottage.

What makes this property unique

We are situated within 2 miles of historic downtown Hendersonville -- and yet it feels as if we are located deep within a country mountain setting. The 350 year old oak tree which canopies Firefly Cottage at Mistletoe Hill captivated our hearts with the rope swing of our childhoods! Beautiful water garden trickles between the cottage and owner's home.
