The Carolina Cottage exemplifies simple elegance. The one bedroom, one bath vacation rental is specifically designed for those who plan on enjoying the wonderful outdoor activities available in the beautiful North Carolina mountains. The space The downstairs of the Carolina Cottage is function at its finest. The stained concrete floor (with radiant heat) and pine-board ceiling lend warmth to the living area and kitchen. The living area, complete with a comfy couch and a queen-size sofa sleeper, is purposefully arranged to maintain the cozy feeling of the cottage while providing additional space for accommodating young children. The kitchen includes a coffee maker, refrigerator/freezer, stove/oven, microwave, and dishwasher, and is stocked with all you need for preparing a simple meal in or ordering out. The upstairs bedroom, with king sized bed, is a large and accommodating space with unique architectural accents. The adjoining bath features an antique claw foot tub with shower. This relaxing spot will welcome you back after a great day of enjoying the mountains. As with most places in these beautiful mountains, you'll want to spend most of your daylight hours outside. And at the Carolina Cottage you can continue to enjoy the outdoors by hiking the trail found on the property, enjoying meals on the private deck, and having s'mores by the fire pit. Guest access Guests have exclusive access to the cottage, deck, and fire pit. While there is no public access to the hiking trail on the property, it is possible to pass a neighbor from time to time.
