1 Bedroom Cottage in Hot Springs

The Blue Heron Cottage has big heart. This charming 1920s bungalow sits above Spring Creek steps from downtown Hot Springs, NC. Warm, welcoming, and full of character, this timeless and refreshingly simple retreat blends rustic natural wood accents with modern comforts -- creating the perfect atmosphere for couples, solo travelers, outdoor enthusiasts looking for an easy mountain getaway. A little mountain town escape you’ll want to return to again and again.
Walk, Explore, Relax
Leave your car parked and step into town. From the cottage you can walk to the Appalachian Trail, soak in the mineral waters at the Hot Springs Resort & Spa, enjoy a laid back evening listening to music at Big Pillow Brewing, grab breakfast at our favorite local spot, the Smoky Mountain Diner. All are within walking distance, making the Blue Heron one of the most convenient locations to stay while you are in town. Everything you need is in reach – yet you are surrounded by the natural beauty of Pisgah National Forest
When you are ready to explore further there is an abundance of trails, rafting, mountain drives, scenic balds, with Asheville an hour away.
Whether you are here to hike hard or rest deeply, the Blue Heron Cottage is an ideal place for both.
Creekside Magic & Mountain Air
Perched on a bluff above Spring Creek, the wraparound deck overlooks one of the area’s treasured trout streams. The steady sound of flowing water becomes part of your stay. Morning coffee wrapped in a blanket, afternoon naps with the doors open, evenings by the gas fireplace after a long hike.
Cozy Comforts with Thoughtful Amenities
• Spacious King Bedroom
• Bathroom with large garden tub + shower combo
• Living room overlooking the creek
• Gas fireplace for cool mountain evenings
• Smart TV for streaming
• Fully equipped kitchen
• Fiber optic internet—the fastest in town
The natural wood details add warmth and character, while modern updates ensure uncomplicated comfort and convenience.
Pet Friendly Retreat
Blue Heron welcomes well behaved dogs (1 dog with pet fee). Travelers can bring their buddy along to enjoy a mountain getaway too! We know adventures are better when your four legged companion can join you.
Beautiful in every season
• Spring: Wildflowers bloom as thru-hikers pass along the Appalachian Trail
• Summer: Rafting, fishing, hikes on Max Patch
• Fall: the trees turn an array of magnificent colors at every elevation
• Winter: Quiet trails, year round mineral soaks, evenings by the fireplace

*Over the years, we’ve seen guests need to cancel for all kinds of understandable reasons. Because life can be unpredictable, we recommend considering the Travel Insurance offered by each booking platform. We’re not trying to add an extra expense — we’ve personally felt the disappointment of having to cancel a trip and not receiving a refund due to a policy’s terms. As a small business, we do need to follow the stated cancellation policy for each reservation*

Summary: Our second time here, we love this place, and like that we can feel very secluded on the back deck overlooking the creek but also easily walk downtown.
