The Pines Cottages Careers in Asheville, NC

The Pines Cottages is an original Cabin Court, also called Tourist Camps or Cottage Courts. When motoring became a pastime, these tourist camps started to emerge as a place for motorists to stay over for the night. At first they had no amenities but were simply a place to sleep. Over time amenities such as kitchens and bathrooms were added. A Very Modest Cottage by Tereasa Surratt is a fun book and has some good history on tourist camps.
