Welcome to our vintage creek side mountain cottage! The most well loved cottage in Waynesville. The cabin sits on 2 acres with over 600' of creek and a vintage barn. We are located two miles from downtown Waynesville, NC, in a charming hollow in the Smoky Mountains.

Cross the creek, park the car and head for the porch to relax or to plan your day trips. The area offers multiple golf courses for the novice or pro, countless hiking trails at your feet, skiing in Cataloochee, shopping and dining. We are centrally located to give you access to North Georgia, South Carolina, Tennessee, and Asheville! The Blue Ridge Parkway awaits you or you can opt to visit one of three close national parks (Great Smokey Mountain, Pisgah, or Cherokee), Biltmore, America’s Castle, is a must see or visit The Grove Arcade. Haywood County is full of locally owned farmer's markets with locally grown seasonal foods and crafts.

The two bedrooms – one king and one queen - are fully fitted with fresh linens and an assortment of comfy pillows and blankets.

The bathroom has a full-size bathtub and shower. Towels, shampoo, conditioner and body wash available for your stay.

We offer WiFi for those who choose to chill or those who squeeze in a little work while away.

Our cabin is now pet friendly allowing one pet up to 50lbs. We ask that your pet be left in a crate when you are not in the cabin. A crate is available for use during your stay. Please be courteous and clean up pet waste on the property.

Fantastic stay
The place was very nice. It was clean, which is very important to me. What first caught my eye to book was the creek- which was amazing. You can sit on the large beautiful, and comfortable porch and hear it. It’s so relaxing. The home was fantastically equipped with convenient things (such as in the kitchen) that you have at home but would miss traveling if you don’t have them. Cathy was wonderful! She answered my questions lightning fast and was so very nice. She knew I was nervous driving in a mountainous area (I’m from Florida), and she assured me there weren’t any hazardous roads that would be dangerous to navigate at night when not familiar with the area. She actually texted me to make sure we’d arrived safely. She was very, very kind. I stayed with my husband and my two young children (10 and 7). They loved it here, especially playing outside by the creek. It was a wonderful experience and we had a fantastic time. Also, everything is nearby! There’s a Walmart literally 5 minutes away. There’s a Publix nearby. You feel like you’re away from the city but you have those conveniences close by. You won’t regret staying here. Cathy, thank you for all of your help and the wonderful stay. We would stay here again!

Great sister trip
My sisters and I are always looking for great places to stay for long weekends and getaways. I stayed at this house this past summer with my best friend and knew it had to go on the list for a sister trip which we did this past weekend. It's such a cozy cottage with an absolutely fabulous front porch for enjoying a cup of coffee and conversation. A perfect little getaway.

Golfing in Waynesville
Terrific weekend in the Waynesville area with an old college roommate from Chicago. We enjoy the area, had great food and played 4 wonderful golf courses all within 30 miles. The cottage was very cozy and the owners were very responsive. My only suggestion would be to slightly upgrade the TV offerings beyond YouTube so that college football fanatics like us have all the game choices. Otherwise it was a beautiful setting, the beds were extremely comfortable and I hope to come back in the future.

A Lil Piece of Heaven
We love this cabin! The location, the thoughtful amenities provided, the charm, the creek and the comfort of a home away from home. They’ve thought of everything! The porch sitting was excellent, providing sightings of hummingbirds, cardinals and other birds plus a beautiful doe strolled through the yard! Downtown Waynesville is minutes away. We explored wild flower farms, an Alpaca farm with other unique animals including a “banded cow” like you see in coastal Maine. Fresh produce and Apple fritters at Barbers Orchards! Lots of side trips within an hour away. A most excellent adventure! We’ll be back.

Another good time was had another good time was had!
This was our second time staying here so that should tell the story about our satisfaction. A nice little cabin with country appeal and very clean upon arrival. Cathy, the owner, always communicates promptly if there are any concerns and I very cordial. She has done a fabulous job of stocking the place with any amenities that you may have forgotten. Cabin is very convenient to groceries and other shopping and restaurants with Hazelwood being only 5 to 10 minutes away. The Fall colors are beautiful in the area in October so give this place a try! As the Terminator once stated...I'll Be Back!!!!!

This cottage is such a gift and I want to thank the owner for sharing it. I would be so content to live in this house in this location. The porch is a dream. Comfortable rocking chairs, the sound of the creek and a cup of coffee was how I spent the weekend. The inside of the house was cozy and perfect. There's absolutely nothing to say except don't hesitate because you've found the one.

Quaint Romantic Cottage on Creek
This is an amazing cottage nestled into a mountainside with a beautifully landscaped creek in front. Everything is immaculate from the exterior to the interior. Sitting on the deck on the front of the cottage and listening to the creek is a very relaxing experience. The inside is beautifully decorated and very comfortable. This is mine and my husband's second stay here, and both times have been wonderful. Tom and Cathy have provided everything and then some for a more than comfortable and convenient stay. Easy to book and communicate with them also. We can't wait to stay here again.
