Pete's Cottage, affectionately named for Mr. Pete Taylor, the owner and builder of this two-story dwelling, stands in the shadow of Asheville Oaks Inn. Mr. Pete constructed a garage apartment and workshop in the early 1940's. His original plan had been to construct a shed behind the main house to store his carpenter tools, garden equipment, some chickens and the family goat named Ruby. During the early, lean years of World War II he thought that a garage with a workshop and an apartment above would be just the thing to bring home some extra money.
Interesting tenants have woven a rich tapestry of stories that have survived more than 60 years. Earl Scruggs (of Grand Ole Opry fame) visit to the cottage, the loud escapades of the couple who called the cottage home during the 1940's and 50's, and the "Bird Lady" are just a few of the mountain folk who left an imprint of remembrance.
Cozy (1500 square feet), comfortable, convenient and clearly historic are the benchmarks of Pete's Cottage. Come and visit and stay at long as you like!

Our stay in your beautiful cottage was great. When we arrived the fireplace was lit and we felt immediately at home. All the furnishings, bedding and linens were far more elegant than in Hotels we have paid hundreds of dollars a night to stay in.
Your personal attention to us and our stay was appreciated.
We will be back ASAP.
Thank you for sharing your cottage with us,
The Snider's

We cannot say enough about the niceties of our accommodations and the hospitality with which we were greeted. The cottage was beautiful and relaxing with everything we needed or wanted and the tickets and knowledge of the Biltmore were greatly appreciated. Thank you again for everything and have a wonderful New Year in 2005.

What a wonderful "cottage!" Our stay was delightful, right down to the M&M®'s. Not only did we feel the warmth of the cottage - your special touch went the second mile. Thanks so much for the special effort.
