Lovely creekside home
This was our second time in this cottage, and we already want to go back. We love the open floor plan and the kitchen is splendid -- too bad the restaurants were so good that we rarely cooked! The neighborhood is quiet, and sitting on the screen porch enjoying the fire pit and listening to the brook below is a first-class experience!

Beautiful setting, great location
We greatly enjoyed our stay. We used the firepit on the back porch and listened to the babbling brook, we cooked a delicious meal in the spacious kitchen and enjoyed takeout from the great nearby restaurants, and we watched baseball playoffs. The furniture and beds were comfortable and the heat/AC worked great. This cottage is so convenient to the scenic towns of Dillsboro and Sylva, yet it feels like a country getaway. We can't wait to come back!
