About this property

Gnome Hill Cottage - A Rustic Pet-Friendly Cottage In The Woods

512' square shed converted to very cozy mountain bunkhouse style cottage with an open floorplan except for the bathroom. There's a large screened porch (32' x 8'), and a smaller deck with charcoal grill and fire pit. Still a work in progress. Secluded in the woods but very close to several state parks with fishing, lakes, rivers, waterfalls, scenic overlooks, canoeing & kayaking, and hiking areas. Very woodsy and peaceful.

Be sure to bring your groceries with you. There is a Dollar General about 3 miles away with some food items, and a very nice Ingle's about 12 miles north on Hwy. 11.

If you bring a pet it is required that you text me a picture of your baby(ies) inside the cottage. There is a mandatory $20 pet fee, and an additional $20 will be charged to your account if any "accidents" are left inside, or on the porch and deck. Yes, people have done that.

Please note - This is pet-friendly cottage, and most of our guests bring their dogs to visit. We diligently clean between each guest and try to make sure all surfaces are clean of pet hair. Sometimes, we may fall short. If any kind of pet hair is a problem for you and not to your liking, this may not be the cottage for you.

There is no mandatory cleaning fee, but guests are encouraged to leave a tip for the cleaning staff, especially if you stay multiple nights, or are extra messy.

Note: The ceilings in the living areas are low and under the lofts in the shed. If you're tall, it may feel a little cramped.

Cosmetic updates are being done so there is a bit of clutter at one end of the screened porch. All of the amenities are good, though. Thank you for your understanding.

If you need sleeping space for more than 2, please check out our other rental on the same property, Rose's Cabin. It sleeps 4, and has a fenced in area for dogs.

Thanks for checking us out!

Needed get-away

This is my second time staying at the Gnome Hill Cottage. It's a perfect spot for some needed get-away time. It's quiet & isolated, yet not far from Travelers Rest or several trails. Charlotte is a very thoughtful & responsive host.

Perfect, quiet getaway.

Charlotte was a delight, and her cottage was perfect. Quiet quaint little cabin, perfect size for an overnight getaway or even an extended stay. Kitchenette was perfect to make ourselves breakfast in the morning, fire pit on the deck was just the right size to make some s’mores and stare at the stars. I would recommend this site to anyone, and will most likely book again when I need a getaway from the city.

Gnome Hill Cottage looked exactly like the photos. The place is quiet. Recommend not driving there at night as the roads are dirt/gravel and there are very few lights. Recommended.

Perfect!

We enjoyed our stay at the gnome cabin in the woods. Everything was perfect. Spotlessly clean. Everything you could possibly want was there for your use. Loved the screened in back porch and the nature that surrounded the cabin. Table rock park is just down the road. Many hiking trails. We will be back again. Thank you for sharing your cabin with us!

Cute, comfortable and great host

We were so impressed with the decor and amenities provided for a comfortable, relaxing and toasty warm stay> Booking was easy and we appreciated being able to bring Elsa, my foster fail small dog with us. I lost my 9 year old Italian Greyhound suddenly to seizures and a brain tumor on December 23rd so it meant so much for Elsa to be with us. The "extras " like travel shampoo, lotions were great and the warm throws, comfy bed and great kitchen made for a great stay. Thank you!

Nice, but definitely for gnomes 😀

My wife & I enjoyed our time at the cabin. The only drawback is if you are big and tall, I’m 6’7”, this place maybe be a bit too small for you. I was too tall for the ceilings in the main room, bedroom & bathroom. The bathroom layout was a little cramped as well. I don’t know how you really advertise that the ceilings are low in a VRBO listing but if you are “average” size you’ll be fine in this little cabin in the woods.

THE CUTEST cabin! Perfect for a couples getaway or with a friend. The property manager was great at communicating. She lives on the property, but you aren’t really on top of each other. It’s super private with lots of woods around. The place was clean, everything worked, and it appeared to be well maintained on the inside. The nonstick cookware really sold me! Y’all know how some of these VRBOs got the worst cookware. Ha! Anyways, my pups had a great time as well. It’s very secluded and the grocery store is about 20 mins away. Super happy with our stay & experience.

About the host

Host profile image
I'm a retired lady from Atlanta who moved up here to live in the woods in my natural pine bunkhouse style cabin. Yes, I love animals, too. My work involved traveling all over the country, and now I'm settled living in my favorite vacation environment.

Why they chose this property

I picked this lot because of all the trees, seclusion, and serenity.
