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!

Third time I’ve stayed here and I love everything about it. Super helpful withh info about the area, and very easy to talk with and communicate. I hope to comeback again sooner than later. Thank you for allowing us to stay again!
Great property -- quiet, clean, comfortable, and so well designed. Lots of little touches to make this home more comfortable and practical. It's really amazing what a nice job they did with this "shed". Felt just like a cabin. Host was extremely communicative and helpful. Caution: the gravel road and driveway are rough; be sure to come in a vehicle that can handle it. Very close to Table Rock State Park, which we highly recommend - especially the Carrick Creek trail. Don't hesitate, book this place!
Plenty of space for my wife and me and our dog. Communication with our host (Charlotte) was excellent. After days spent hiking and otherwise exploring the surrounding area - it was also nice to unwind on the screened in back porch. We both found the bed to be very comfortable as well.

About the host

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
