This beautiful post and beam, stone and cedar shake cottage is located on the banks of Spring Creek in the quaint mountain town of Hot Springs.
The Stone Cottage sleeps 2 in a large bedroom loft with a king-sized bed. The cottage features a fully equipped kitchen with everything you need. There is a nice open living area and small dining table. A gas fireplace is in the center of the downstairs living room/dining/kitchen to provide warmth during cooler months. The downstairs bathroom includes custom tilework throughout, and there is an enclosed outdoor shower if you prefer in the warmer months.
A large deck wraps around two sides of the home has plenty of space to relax and take in the wildlife and sounds of the creek. There is a jacuzzi tub on the deck with views right over the rushing creek. There are steps that go down to the creek bank for exploring. The bank accessibility changes based on water level.
During the warmer months, you will have access to one of the best swimming holes in the area right below the cottage, and fishing is also a great pastime in Spring Creek. The swimming hole and creek bank is shared with the Creek House next door.
The cottage is just a 5-minute walk to downtown Hot Springs and the Appalachian Trail.
All linens are provided along with standard supplies and paper products. Updated Fiber optic Wi-Fi is included with your accommodations.
Perfect getaway! Charming romantic house with everything we needed/wanted for a wonderful stay. Loved the decor, the windows. Everything was clean and in working order with fresh flowers on the table up on check-in! Property manager was kind and helpful. You won't regret booking here.
This was a combo work/ play visit for me--3 days of work interspersed with hikes and enjoying the mountains. All my work was video calls and the internet was NO problem at all, if that is important to you.It was awesome to be able to take my lunch breaks on the deck overlooking the creek, and I definitely took advantage of the hot tub. Also amazing to be a quick drive into the Pisgah Forest for a hike after work.If you like to cook, you'll be happy with the kitchen. I found everything I needed.The bedroom loft was great and the bed itself really comfy. I kept the windows open every night and it was so nice to fall asleep and wake up to the sound of the creek.Hot Springs is trying hard to come back, though not everything is up and running just yet. I managed to grab a spot at the Hot Springs resort, and I stopped by Sara Jo's store almost every day (imagine finding hand made tamales and some locally made salsa!). A bit farther away is the Trust General Store and Cafe--I've eaten at the Cafe in the past and it's great (I missed their opening for the season by one day!). It's the perfect stop if you decide to hike Max Patch, as I did.Overall I loved my stay and I appreciate how easy it was to communicate with the owners.
Very unique and eclectic, helping you know you are on vacation and not in sleek hotel. The gurgling of the creek all night long (window strategically located was left open at night: heavenly. This may not be the best choice for someone needing to make trip(s) to the restroom throughout the night, since the bedroom is upstairs.
My husband and I stayed here for our honeymoon and it was absolutely perfect! A small town and a lovely house! Everything was clean and well cared for!
The cottage was as good or better than the pictures on Vrbo, and we had a delightful time. No electronic "babbling brook" generator could match the sound of Spring Creek just outside the door. Proximity to town and hiking were both great. Perfect weather helped, but had it rained we could have just stayed indoors and enjoyed ourselves just as much. Can't thank you enough, Karen!!
We had an awesome stay! Everything was as described or better. The host was quick to reply to our questions! Would definitely recommend to those coming to the area!
This cute riverside cobblestone restored our energy and offered tranquilty, beauty and peace. We enjoyed swimming in the river, drinking wine on the beautiful deck overlooking the river, taking our showers in the outdoor shower, and
Simmering in the hot tub in tje evenings. The window view from the loft when u wake is magical.
Sitt simmering down in the hottubs in the
From the very start, everything about the Stone Cottage exceeded our expectations. The creekside location, the ambience of the house itself. We were continually impressed by the thoughtful details of the Cottage and its decor. We had everything we needed, linens, paper products, seasonings, a fully equipped kitchen. Even a first aid kit! This is by far the cutest and well equipped vacation property we have ever rented. We would love to return. We made great memories at the Stone Cottage! Loved the guest book rock pile too â€ïž
The cottage was wonderful. The sound of the creek just melted away any stress. The hot tub was wonderful as well as was the quiet setting and location. We enjoyed the small town of Hot Springs and everything it offered. We will definitely be back in the future.
Arriving during a heat wave we thought there might be thunderstorms. Fortunately, the rain (which was badly needed in the area) held off until the late eveing on our departure day.
Relaxing by the stream makes it diificult to take advantage of the many hiking trails in the area, but we always get in some excursions. Returning for a nice hottub before bed takes away any aches.
I'm certain we'll be back soon.
Very relaxing and unique stay. We loved the proximity to town. We walked into town for meals and cold beverages. We definitely hope to return one day soon.
