Close to town, hot tub, motorcycle friendly

This 1900 square foot, 2 bedroom/2 bath cottage that sleeps eight has just what you need to have a peaceful and relaxing vacation, but is also close enough to Maggie Valley/Waynesville to take advantage of the many activities available year round. The area boasts many outdoor pursuits like hiking, skiing at Cataloochee, horseback riding, white water rafting, motorcycling on the Blue Ridge Parkway, and enjoying the fall color change. You can also attend one of the local music festivals, dine out in one of the many local restaurants, or sample some of the local craft brews. We are conveniently located about 30 minutes from Asheville and all of its attractions but also 30 minutes from the Cherokee/Oconaluftee entrance to the Great Smoky Mountains National Park.

The downstairs contains the kitchen, dining area, one bathroom and the queen bedroom. The dining room, which has a heated floor and is also a rustic sun room, seats 6. There is also a bistro table that seats another 2. The kitchen has everything you need to make a lovely meal for you and your guests. It has been stocked with plenty of pots, pans, and serving dishes as well as the usual plates and utensils. In the pantry, you will find basic spices, oil, coffee, and tea. We simply ask that if you use something up, please replace it. There is also a crock pot, waffle iron, Keurig/drip coffee maker, and a coffee grinder. Feel free to fire up the outdoor gas grill and throw on a steak or some burgers. The full-size washer and dryer are conveniently located just off the kitchen along with an iron and ironing board.

Looking for a spot to relax? Look no further than a cozy spot in front of the large stone gas fireplace. Grab a book to read, put your feet up, and enjoy. You can also have a game of shuffleboard or head out to the back deck and hop in the 4 person hot tub, roast marshmallows around the gas fireplace, or simply sit and relax to the sound of our babbling brook.

The downstairs bedroom has a queen size foam bed as well as a smart tv. The bathroom has a double sink and a large shower with a sliding glass door.

Travel upstairs to the loft and enjoy the large leather sectional couch and watch a movie on the 80 inch smart tv. YoutubeTV is available but feel free to use your own streaming service (same goes for any other TV). Prefer something more stimulating? Try the electronic Infinity gaming table (which has electronic versions of classic board games) or grab one of the regular board games or puzzles. Just next to the gaming area is a nook with a pull-out, full-size couch. If you are traveling with an infant or young toddler, feel free to use our pack-n-play and leave yours at home. Also located upstairs is the large master bedroom and bathroom which has a king foam bed, smart tv, and a twin day bed with a trundle.

This house is dog friendly. Bring up to two of your well behaved furry friends. A dog bed, kennel, and bowls are provided. Please do not allow your dogs on the furniture. There is a $100 non-refundable pet fee and a $35 pet cleaning fee. You will be responsible for any damage caused by your furry friend. We ask that you please do not leave any pets out alone in the house and place them in the provided kennel if leaving them unattended. Please use the provided bags to clean up any of your pet's waste.

Quiet hours are 9 pm - 9 am. Please be kind and respectful to the neighbors. No parties allowed.

Please note that this house is on a paved road. The road does get a bit steep but 4WD is not required. In the winter, there may be snow or ice and AWD or 4WD is recommended for those conditions. The hot tub will be drained and refilled with clean water before your visit. Please note that because of this, the water may not be fully heated your first night. Spectrum high-speed wifi is also provided.

This home is not just a short-term rental. It is also our personal vacation home. We hope you find it and as comfortable and relaxing as we do. Please enjoy your stay and come back again!
