About this property

Awesome Cottage, Views, Waterfalls, Cute animals, streams, privacy, easy access

Welcome to Wicklow Woods! We have designed our large 10 acre+ property for families and groups looking to stay in extremely clean and tastefully appointed lodging. There are steams, ponds, waterfalls, distant views of the mountains without ever leaving Wicklow.

If your dream is escaping to the North Carolina Mountains, we are nestled in a quiet cove surrounded by beautiful mountains, minutes from downtown Andrews, NC. While staying with us in Wicklow Woods, you will find peace and serenity that can only be found in the Mountains of the Carolinas. We are just minutes away from Andrews, NC where you can enjoy mountain biking, golf, fly fishing, horseback riding, scenic drives & walks, shopping. White water rafting adventures on the nearby Ocoee or Nantahala rivers are not far away. Our close proximity to many of major attractions, such as the Cherokee Nation Reservation and the Great Smokey Mountain National Park makes our location desirable for families looking to pack their week-long vacation full of activities.

Wicklow is an Andrews, North Carolina getaway with the privacy of cabin lodging. The decoration is somewhat shabby chic and upscale cabin lodging. We often get comments about the high quality of the furnishings, bedding and linens. People feel immediately comfortable! (Please see the feedback and comments from past guests.) You will find a mini library and plenty of games to entertain yourself or the kids! We recently enlarged the stocked fishing pond, added a new horseshoe pit as well as a 10ft high waterfall that empties into a wading pool with sandy beach. Visit with our miniature donkeys that reside in our pasture.

The lodge has a spacious feel with 4 bedrooms, 2 full baths, and 2 family rooms featuring large flat panel cable TV with DVD. Sunshine fills the upstairs living area by day, and the large stone fire pit and Adirondack chairs afford cozy nights by the fire. The fully equipped kitchen features oven, stove, refrigerator, large microwave, dishwasher, toaster, coffeemaker and additional small appliances. The antique farmhouse dining table with handmade bench and Windsor style chairs can seat up to eight. You have everything you need to prepare a homemade family feast.

Gorgeous property
Loved our stay at Wicklow Woods and will be returning next year. Grandchildren had a wonderful time playing in the creek and wading pool, feeding the donkeys and having s’mores around the fire. The house was perfect for the 9 of us. Highly recommend.

Not good
My family and I were so upset when we arrived at this property. The mold/mildew smell was unbearable. The place was also dirty. We had to cancel our vacation plans and go home. It is not nice to rent this place out to people.

Happiness is in the eye of the beholder
My grand kids loved the property and all the things they could do. Two of them get hornet bites, one in the eye while petting donkeys. That ended that adventure. The lower floor of the house was horribly damp. There were many spiders and other bugs in the house. My granddaughter wouldnt slee. If my kids go back again, good for i won't p inher assigned room because of spiders on the wall and in corner of closet. The kitchen had little black ants all over. Direct tv is not my favorite and phone reception was spotty. Its a very long way from town, if you like that good.

Recommend Highly!
This property is absolutely fantastic for a family or group. From the grounds which were just stunning (creek’s, small water falls, feeding the donkeys, fishing pond..), it was perfect for our family! The kitchen is stocked with essential gadgets, silverware, pots, etc. which was helpful. Comfortable beds. We truly enjoyed our week stay. But… I will say there are some issues that need to be addressed. BLACK ANTS. They were all over the kitchen. If you leave ANYTHING on the counters, it will be invaded by ants. We had to throw some things away due forgetting to put it away or not putting it in a sealed container. Be warned. Leave nothing on the counters. There was a board on the deck/patio we noticed that had a hole in it. After walking on this deck while we were there, a huge hole appeared. Dangerous if it’s not fixed soon. The downstairs toilet moved every time it was used. There was an odor of mold, musty smell in one bedroom downstairs & one upstairs. Not sure where that was coming from. If there is a large group (which we were), more kitchen towels should be available. We had 4 teenagers with us. The Wi-Fi/internet was horrible. They were not happy. Very spotty or non existent. It worked better outside than inside. The good thing.. no Wi-Fi made them go outside and enjoy their wonderful outdoor things Wicklow had to offer. Wicklow is a great choice to family’s wanting a big enough place to be comfortable, plenty of amenities.

About the host

Hosted by Kathy Airey

Host profile image
I am a licensed Realtor and long time boy scouter / volunteer. I have 5 children, aged 29 to 10. My wife and I love the mountains and the out of doors. I have been experiencing this area for my entire life and created many memories for our children to have and cherish. We currently have 2 donkeys (new baby donkey) , 1 shelties (Emma) , 3 wienner dogs (Teddy, Tula and Pickle) and 3 miniature goats.

Why they chose this property

I purchased this property because it reminded me of Wicklow Ireland. The beautiful mountain backdrop, green gently rolling pasture and water. Water everywhere, streams, springs, branches and ponds. It fit my vision of a private retreat. It is located at the end of the road. At night its dark, very dark. The sky is bright with stars. Many at night we observe shooting stars. Our backyard is 10,000 acres of National forest service land. This is our bit of heaven and we thoroughly enjoy sharing and hosting this experience with others!

What makes this property unique

Wicklow Woods is perfectly located for all kinds of activities. On the property we have a wonderfully large fire pit to sit around and enjoy. There are several ponds stocked with fish. We have horse shoe pits and plenty of room to play and run around in the well groomed pasture area. Kids love playing in the mountain stream that flows across Wicklow. Many people take leisurely walks and everyone takes time and visits with the miniature donkeys. Nearby there are numerous beautiful walking trails, including the Joyce Kilmer National Forest , which is the last standing virgin forest . There are many rivers and waterfalls within the county that have nice scenic walks. Additionally there are on road or off road Bicycle riding paths. The 'dragons tail' is nationally known for its driving (cars or motorcycles). Our area is known for its world class trout fishing.
