This little cottage has been in our family for 5 generations. It was built in the 1880's and sat on a basement with modern amenities in 1949, then a deck was added in the early 2000's. In 2020 we remodeled the house, updated the wiring, and added wifi. In September 2023 we put split units both upstairs and down stairs adding heat and air condition. There is 1 bedroom, a dining room, living room and a full kitchen upstairs. The downstairs includes 2 bedrooms, 1 full bathroom and a laundryroom. It is furnished with our own eclectic blend of family antiques and flea market finds. There is also a deck with grill upstairs off of the kitchen for easy outdoor meals. Downstairs there is a nice back patio with easy access to a very large back yard, great for families and pets to enjoy. The front porch is adorned with two rocking chairs which provide a wonderful place to enjoy a morning cup of coffee.
This cottage is conveniently located off the side of Blue Ridge Road. The area is scenic, being in the mountains. There are lots of golf courses, hiking (Panthertown Valley, Pisgah National Forest, Nantahala National Forest, Gorges State Park), fishing (French broad river, Whitewater, Wolf Creek Lake, East Fork, North Fork of the French Broad), and waterfalls (Toxaway Falls, Whitewatwr Falls, Rainbow Falls, Schoolhouse Falls) within a few minutes of the house. The Lake Toxaway community center, which offers fun Friday nights with food and live music during the warm months, is only a short distance away, and has Tennis courts, a large play ground, a basketball goal, and a paved walking track. The beautiful Greystone Inn, a popular wedding and dining venue is less than 15 minutes away.
Lake Toxaway is a friendly community which enjoys all four seasons. Cool mountain air is very pleasant during the summer months, and the gorgerous leaves during the fall will simply mesmerize you. Winter offers nice mountain weather and Sapphire Valley has snow tubing and skiing available. On most trails you can find Wildflowers growing in abundance during the spring. Beauty can be found all around. Our little cottage is in the perfect location to offer all that the area has to give. We would be happy to have you make our place your perfect vacation destination.

    This little cottage was full of charm and neat and clean! The hosts provided excellent communication and directions for where we could find what we needed. They provided lots of unexpected extras that made the stay feel like home. Everything we needed was provided by the hosts...laundry detergent, softener sheets, stain spray (Shout!), zip lock baggies for snacks on the trail and more! We especially enjoyed the variety of local maps and books about local attractions and history. We hiked to 29 waterfalls over the weekend and the literature was helpful and informational. We truly enjoyed our stay and will recommend this property to others who wish to visit the western North Carolina mountains.

    We enjoyed our short stay in the mountains. Home is interesting with the history on the walls. Kitchen is well stocked. Beds were comfortable and clean. Unfortunately it rained so we weren't able to use the good size deck or the grass area but these looked great for a sunny day. We would definitely return if in the area again. The local Mexican restaurant is really good too

    The cottage was great. Nicely appointed kitchen and clean throughout. We enjoyed the books about the history of the area and this was a great launching point for all our hiking. Highly recommend.

    House was very nice, loved the authenticity of property. I would say they definitely need to do something with the driveway-dangerous the way it is now.

    A family member had a place on the lake. This delightful house was a perfect satellite location. Very clean and well-stocked with a modern kitchen and great porches. Plus, we loved the old family photos.

    Definately better than staying at a hotel! And my dog loved it! Great house w large yard all well maintained and equipped w everything! It was more than I hoped for - I don't know if all places and hosts are as nice but this Vrbo experience was great - quiet, clean, full kitchen w appliances, was able to wash clothes in washer and drier! Only 1 bathroom but a nice one (plenty for me and I only used 1 of 3 bedrooms). Had great AC to cool down in hot weather after doing nearby hikes. Great upper deck and covered patio to chill out. Convenient location - Family was staying elsewhere only 12 minutes away. And did I say how much my dog loved it??

    Amazing! Even though my hosts were on vacation themselves they stayed in regular contact. These folks become friends on our first visit last fall and I can't say enough good things about the house and about their hospitality. Lovely visit

    We thorughly enjoyed our stay at this cozy, historic mountain hideaway. We were 15 minutes away from Cold Mountain Trailhead at Panthertown, 15 minutes away from Tannassee Lake, and a only 22 minutes away from our Wolf Lake. We will be back in October. We can't wait to be back.
