Mount Mitchell, the tallest peak east of the Mississippi River, is directly in view. The property is located in Gateway Mountain, a 3,000-acre hardwood forest and preserve, which offers a peaceful respite from hectic day-to-day life. brbrIn addition to the varied and breathtaking vistas, guests within Gateway enjoy unspoiled, woodland surroundings and amenities including hiking trails, a private lake in which you can swim if you'd like, a spectacular and private waterfall park and picnic area, and even a small catch and release trout pond (no license required). We find that time spent on the mountain is always uplifting and restorative, and we would love for Sweetwood to be the home base for your getaway.brbrNote: As of May 2026, Lake George is closed until further notice and off limits to boating, swimming, fishing, and pet use. brbrHouse Layout:brMAIN FLOOR- Open living room and dining area, artfully appointed, with sliders opening onto the spacious upper deck. The living room has a 70 TV (DISH) and a fireplace with gas logs. There is a bedroom with a queen bed across from the full hall bath with a jacuzzi tub and hand-held shower. A fully equipped kitchen makes the preparation of anything from a simple snack to a large holiday feast a pleasure for the cook(s) in your group. The primary suite has a King bed and opens onto the screen porch (which is also accessible from the upper deck), and a full bath features a multi-jet shower. A laundry/mud room with a washer/dryer is also on this level.brbrLOWER LEVEL- Den with a sectional couch, 50-inch TV (with DISH + DVD player), game table seating 4-6, and a collection of board games, playing cards, puzzles, and books. An electric Franklin Stove provides both extra warmth and charm to the space. Sliders open onto the lower-level deck, and a bedroom with a queen bed has a full hall bath (shower only, no tub). The library contains books, travel brochures, local reference materials, and a wireless printer for guest use. A mini gym with a spin bike, exercise bands, and free weights is available for use as well.brbrOUTDOORS- Gas grill off the kitchen door, bistro seating for two on the front porch, two large mountain-facing decks, and a screen porch. The upper deck has a dining table with seating for six adjacent to the wood-burning chimney. The lower deck is furnished with four Adirondack chairs and another bistro set seating two. The screen porch is outfitted to seat four, but can easily accommodate six with extra folding chairs.brbrSweetwood is a true mountain retreat, yet its proximity to the community gate (just 1 mile) on a gently sloping, paved street provides easy access to main roads. It's a comfortable and often very scenic drive to a great variety of active outdoor pursuits, charming mountain towns, small artisanal farms and markets, artist studios/galleries, restaurants, breweries, and historical sights.brbrNearby Attractions: br• I40: 10 minutesbr• Black Mountain: 15-20 minutesbr• Asheville: 35-40 minutesbr• Lake Lure/Chimney Rock: 30 minutesbr• Blue Ridge Parkway: 25 minutesbr• Lake James: 40 minutesbrbrPlease note: We love animals, but please NO PETS and NO SMOKING in this home.

Retreat - Creek, Sliding Rock, Waterfalls, Fishing, Hiking, Hot Tub, Fire Pit

Old Fort, North Carolina, United States

Welcome to The Sliding Rock Cottage, located on Gateway Mountain!brbrAs a guest of this private gated community, you’ll have access to trails, waterfalls, and use of Lake George for fishing.brbrSet on seven acres of woods, there's privacy and seclusion without losing the benefit of being only 15 minutes from Old Fort I-40, where you'll find breweries, a winery, restaurants, a grocery store, fishing, and trails!brbrThe spacebrOur creekside cottage was a custom design by us and built from 2022-2023. It is a cozy 1,450 sq ft, 3 bed/2 bath, having a 1,000 sq ft wrap around, covered porch, with a huge hot tub, a full kitchen, spacious living area, relaxing outdoor spaces, and specifically designed to allow you to unplug - rain or shine.brbrThe Cottage:brbrWe wanted to create a special place where you could escape from the world for a few days of quiet relaxation - both for our family to use and to be able to share that experience with others.brbrWith this in mind, we purposely chose not to have a TV in the living room. Our goal is to provide a true retreat for guests who want to unplug and unwind. However, there are TVs in the bedrooms with king beds, and one on the covered porch.brbrProvided is a peaceful, quiet space set on 7 acres, where you can get lost in a book in one of our many cozy reading nooks, enjoy time playing board games, and building puzzles, relax in our spacious hot tub, eat dinner at the large table on the porch, or just listen to the sounds of the creek and nature.brbr- Property Highlights:br* SLEEP WELL - All bedrooms have a DreamCloud mattress, with luxury bedding. King size beds - one upstairs, one downstairs. Twin size beds - two upstairs.br* Two bathrooms with floor to ceiling tile - one upstairs, one downstairs. Walk in shower downstairs. Bathtub & shower combo upstairs.br* Fully functioning kitchen, with gas stove - stocked with pots, pans, bakeware, dinnerware, and different types of glassware.br* We provide K cup coffee.br* Soaking / Therapeutic 7 person hot tub.br* Comfy outdoor spaces - The 1,000 sq ft wrap-around, covered porch, is the BEST part of the house. Sit outside, rain or shine, and listen to the sounds of rushing water flow down Sallie Davis Creek. Also, we have lounge chairs looking at the sliding rock, and a fire pit overlooking the trees.br* Propane grill and tools.br* Standing Rock Waterfalls & Lake George - Upper and Lower falls are less than 1 mile away from house - inside the neighborhood!brbrIf you need internet for work or streaming, we do have high speed Starlink internet available.brbrWhile you might easily want to spend every minute on the porch enjoying the sounds of the Sallie Davis Creek flowing down the Sliding Rock, but if you're also looking for some adventures, Gateway Mountain, Old Fort, and the surrounding areas are home to some of the best hikes, mountain biking, fly fishing, waterfalls, swimming, and scenic drives in all of North Carolina.brbrNearby adventures -br• 15 minutes from the breweries, coffee shops, and restaurants in Old Fort. My FAVORITE is home-baked, Gogo's Cinnamon Rolls by Piggly Wiggly.br• 15 minutes from one of the most picturesque and popular waterfall hikes in North Carolina - Catawba Falls.br• 20 minutes from grocery stores and much more in Black Mountain.br• 25 minutes from the nearest Blue Ridge Parkway entrance.br• 35 minutes from downtown Asheville.br• 35 minutes from the entrance of Biltmore Estate.brbrWe would love to host you!
