Romantic, bark covered cottage-close to town, book a summer stay now!

If you’re looking for a great mountain getaway, look no further!
Life is all around us. We need to celebrate it, every day. Hikes are free, so are the views from mountain tops and gorgeous waterfalls. Long walks, all levels of hikes, riding a bike, readings good book on the porch swing. Dine at terrific nearby restaurants, or cook the latest NY Times recipe that caught your eye in the petite but well stocked kitchen of the Hobbit House. Then eat by the fireplace, at table, or on the front porch listening to the wind whisper through the trees. Enjoy some quality time watching a movie or sit by the fire (we supply the firewood) laughing and making s'mores. Get a great night's sleep on a super comfy mattress (seriously, SO many guests want to buy one I should get a commission) in the fresh mountain air.

So, with all that said, welcome to the Hobbit House in the breathtaking mountains of western North Carolina. A small space, yes...but such a sanctuary. And don’t we need that these days The perfect hideout for a week or a long weekend. Just a two minute drive (if that), or a 10 minute walk to the Cashiers crossroads, the Hobbit House is nestled within an acre of mountain laurel, holly and tall pines....an airy, sophisticated Cashiers cabin with in-town seclusion.

The Hobbit House was completely redone with stainless kitchen appliances and new bathroom (note: the bathroom is downstairs from the loft bedroom) and redecorated into a luxurious, warm and peaceful getaway for two - or three, if you have a dog ($100 dog fee). Relax in the woods - yet have all the luxuries of home: HD Roku streaming of TV cable channels with all the possible sports channels plus Netflix, Amazon, Sling etc...washer and dryer and solid Wi-Fi. A petite but modern kitchen and flagstone floored bath with a modern subway-tiled walk-in shower...both on the first floor.. are just off the open living area with a wood burning, stone fireplace.

On cooler days, there is warm air flowing at the flick of a switch plus the fireplace, and an upstairs super efficient standing floor air conditioning unit that keeps the cottage cool on the rare, warmer than normal day. Usually the stainless steel ceiling fans do the trick!

Follow the mountain laurel railing upstairs to the light filled loft bedroom (bathroom downstairs), where a wonderful night's sleep awaits under the rafters. The gel-topped, memory foam, king size bed will soothe you to sleep in the cool mountain air after a day of hiking, waterfalls or shopping.

The Hobbit House is a cabin with a difference. Everything in The Hobbit House has been chosen specifically for this cottage. While poplar bark siding protects the exterior, inside you’ll find a light, modern, designer-mountain feel with a whitewashed shiplap interior, artisan details, the latest energy-efficient appliances and cool art. There are also top quality sheets and fluffy towels...you won't find another place like it except our big sister house. You'll find a link below to the Mountain House if you're looking for something larger (6B-4-1/2B) but with the same easy style.

In the morning, have your coffee on the Sunday porch swing next to the mountain laurel rails that line the deck. Listen to the silence of the rain forest, broken only by the Carolina birds singing their tunes. Promise yourself that today, you WILL make time for reading. Ok, and maybe a nap on that same plush swing-bed. Later, enjoy a glass of wine in the same spot or take it with you walking the secluded roads and trails just outside your door. Then, if you wish, cook dinner in the fully-equipped kitchen or grill outside on the gas grill. Even better, slip away to one of Cashier's many wonderful restaurants that are just minutes away. Welcome to a slice of heaven!
