Peaceful Mountain Cottage, Deck with Gazebo near Stream

"The Fox Den" is a peaceful mountain cottage nestled in a valley, above a creek, just down from Deep Gap on the Black Mountain Ridge Crest Trail that leads to Mount Mitchell, tallest mountain east of the Rockies. This is a nice big place, now limited to two persons. Enjoy the all wood interior, the deck with gazebo that feels like a treehouse above a mountain stream. Cottage equipped with kitchen, full bath, 3 bedrooms, (maximum 2 persons total), deck with gazebo, 2 swings under the house, and Japanese garden.

This is a real getaway space, great for relaxing and being with the ones you love. Burnsville and stores are 11 miles away. Nearby are crafts, gifts and groceries, hiking trails and rivers. 45 miles from Asheville with its city attractions. Lounge and dine on the deck in the gazebo, enjoy the fun master bedroom, and listen to the mountain stream down below. Take a deep breath. No pets please. Restore. Refr esh. Relax.

Guest access

You have the entire home all to yourselves, with kitchen, full bath, 3 bedrooms, (maximum 2 persons total), deck with gazebo, stone patio, plus 2 swings under the house, and Japanese garden. Area has: nice 4 to 20 minute walk along the creek right from Fox Den, or hike 2 hours up to Deep Gap right up the hill, or 6 hour hike to Mount Mitchell (leave a car there), Burnsville, Asheville, the Blue Ridge Parkway, groceries, theater, restaurants, arts and craft studios and stores.

Interaction with guests:

You are on your own, and I can be reached easily.

Other things to note

This is a fun, rustic mountain cottage. The interior is all wood floors and walls except the master bedroom with carpet and white walls. It is a small cozy place with three dining areas outside, two swings, and the deck.
You have the whole place to yourselves with your own kitchen, bathroom, bedrooms, living room, deck, gazebo, and under the cottage are two swings also for your private use.
The well water here is different from city water. It is rich in minerals and has a high iron content. It is clean and safe, but most people prefer bottled water. We provide a jug of drinking water. Welcome to the mountains!

**Sorry, Pets are currently Not Allowed due to some bad experiences recently. Sneaking in a pet results in a $100 fine. Sorry to have to do this.

You will be in the area of one of the countrys premier artist studio tours. The artists can be contacted from list. In case you are interested. You will find arts/crafts categories and maps to the studios. Search: Toe River Arts Council, TRAC Studio Tour

REVIEWS

Amazing hospitality and great place for a mountain get-away! -Samuel April 2019

Ron was very courteous and responsive. Cabin would be a great base for hiking in the Mt Mitchell area. -James April 2019

Very sweet spot! We were there in the winter and stayed very warm! Gorgeous location, just a short drive away from a nearby town with coffee shops, groceries, fly fishing shops, etc.

I’d definitely return in the summer! - Kate

Our stay was absolutely wonderful. Such a beautiful place in the mountains. My family and I enjoyed every second at the Fox den. We had campfires and told spooky stories and went hiking to several waterfalls. We drove into Asheville which is only an hour away and had a fun time looking through all the shops. We will definitely be back! -Sarah October 2018

Beautiful cabin in a good location
My girlfriend and I enjoyed our stay here. The cabin is cozy with plenty of fox themed decorations and a deck that's great for taking in some fresh air. The cabin is in a nice, quiet location. The creek running behind it provides background noise great for falling asleep or just relaxing. Overall, this is a nice cabin to stay in.

I am from the south and feel absolutely drawn to the mountains. This delightful cottage sits nestled right on a mountain road with a babbling brook just outside of your window...Everything you need to be comfortable and close to nature... Even a road below the cabin for a nice hike... I needed a get away and found it here... Ron was an insightful host and very accomodating. Would love to stay again! Namaste~ mary

Hiking Trip
We were there to spend some time in the mountains and do some hiking. It was a great location, reasonably priced, and had everything we needed for our stay. It was really nice to be able to sit outside on the deck in the evening for dinner. My son had a great time in the creek. We would definitely stay here again.

Spent most of our time doing activities such as hiking Mt. Mitchell and the Maryland Earth to Sky park, so the cabin was adequate for our needs. Very rustic, needed more thorough cleaning from our perspective. Enjoyed the location!

Pleasant place to stay near the Black Mountains
Nice vacation cottage in a quiet area but within 20 minutes of Burnsville, NC. Cell phone phone signal is not very good, but can be used through the property's WiFi. Very good instructions were sent by the property manager regarding the property and things to do in the area (although more details on the rough trail to access to the creek would have been nice)

I booked this spot as a place to stay before running Quest for the Crest at Mt. Mitchell. Communication w Ron was excellent. The cabin was well located and safe. I was able to easily explore trails within a 90 min drive along the AT. The creek sounds so nice!

Ron's place is just a small little cabin on the creek, and was represented just as it is. My wife and I wanted a simple, private time of rest to just rejuvenate before my wife starts a new job, and this was just the ticket for us. Don't miss Burnsville Y'all , we hit their little Saturday morning farmers market/ local crafters, and by the time we left-- we felt like family. Fall colors were just an added blessing THANK YOU RON !!!!
