We absolutely LOVED the cottage. We are a family of 5 with 3 young kids under 6 and all 3 slept in the 2nd bedroom without any problems! They absolutely loved the toys and games! As well as playing in the creek out front and roasting marshmallows. We would definitely book again when we make another trip!

Dennis was quick to answering questions. The home was very quaint & cozy. Loved the rocking chairs on the porch. The fire pit was quite nice also. It was nice getting into the creek looking for rocks. Bring extra garbage bags (13 gal), toilette paper & paper towels. There were only one of each in the home. Other than that, they have everything you need. We will definitely be back again. Thank you Dennis & Ashley for allowing us to stay in your home. Looking forward to next time.

Delightful little spot, very comfortable/clean, and perfect for our needs to attend an event in Spruce Pine. The rocking chairs under the little gazebo where you can listen to the creek were an especially nice treat for some R&R.

Always a joy to stay at the cottage! A true home-away-from-home for us. We love the mountains and this cottage makes it more meaningful for us. We have family in these mountains and we feel closer to them and those who have gone on to heaven. Nestled in the valley, this cottage is a true comfort and away from the hustle and bustle of town life. The drive to the cottage is very relaxing and beautiful.The host is awesome and ready to help when needed. We can't express enough how much we love staying here! It beats staying at a motel any day.We will be coming back!

Very clean house. Beds were very comfortable. Great communication with host and it's everything they say it is. I really enjoyed my weekend here and will definitely book this place again. If you want a quiet weekend sitting by the creek and taking in the sounds of nature this is the place for you. Definitely what I needed to relax and unwind from a busy life

It was the oerfect place. W we teally enjoyed it. When we got ready to leave my said "I'm acually gonna miss this house". We travel fir work a lot, so forher to say that, it means a lot. We loved the gazebo with the rocking chairs by the streem. Kitchen had everything we needed plus extra. The owners were easy to get a long with, and went out of there way to help. I would definitely stay again if I'm ever in the area again.
