Etowah's Cottage - dog friendly, king beds, hiking, rafting, motorcycles

Centrally located dog friendly home, for families or couples to access the Cherokee National Forest. The Cottage is located in a residential neighborhood in the quaint historic railroad town of Etowah. Walking distance to antique shops, local businesses, playground, dog park and community pool. Easy access to the Hiwassee River, Ocoee River, the Cherokee National Forest. Chattanooga and Knoxville are 60 min away and Gatlinburg is 90 min away. Fenced yard and fully enclosed front porch for pets or kids. Two king bedrooms and 2 full baths. Large deck off the back of the house with privacy screening and gate. There is a small stream at the rear of the property outside the fence yard. Usually only a few inches deep, but can run very fast with deeper water during heavy rains. Please supervise children and do not allow them in the stream unsupervised.

Cute and Clean Place

The house was very clean and is located downtown of Etowah. The house is older, but nicely remodeled. A plus is the fenced in backyard for pets. Communication with the owner was very easy and prompt. No complaints here.

Perfect place to stay while visiting family!

To preface this: there was an issue with my check-in. The host was very accommodating and very kind during this issue. She went above and beyond what I expected. The house itself was lovely and I would be happy to stay there again! It makes visiting family so easy as I have a dog that is a little complicated to say the least.

Cottage in Etowah

It was very comfy and just unique and homey. The fenced yard was a plus since we had a dog. The bed was comfy. I would stay there again should I be in the area.

I appreciate the owner allowing pets. This is my primary search filter when looking for a property. With a fenced backyard, a deck and patio that were constructed to contain a pet, I couldn't be more pleased. It's clear the 1902 property has undergone some renovations, like a new HVAC system and second bathroom. That said, there is a faint smell in the house that I attributed to the home's age. I'm sure the owner has plans for additional projects, so do expect some 'older' features, but completely usable. The location was perfect for me as I have family in Etowah. I will say this property is head and shoulders above any hotel you may find in the area. Overall, I would stay in this property again when returning to visit family.
