CREEKFRONT! Over 1/2 mile creekfront, walking trails, two private ponds for fishing-- 60+ acres of woods, creek & wetland. Right on a managed trout stream! GILI'S COVE COTTAGE...woods, nature, serenity. Fall asleep to the sounds of the rushing creek right outside your window. Enjoy morning coffee on the porch overlooking the creek, watch deer in the meadow and the geese in the pond. Fish for a trout dinner just steps outside the back door.

Two-bedroom/two-bath cottage with split plan for privacy, sleeps six. Living room + family room allows plenty of room for you and all your gear. The living room has a gas fireplace heater with two comfy recliners. The family room has a wall of windows overlooking the creek, with an oversized counter and wet bar. The all-season porch is screened in summer, but when the weather gets cool, the 360-degree windows allow you to still enjoy the porch, watching the creek for deer and beaver, and the gas fireplace and comfy chaise lounge provide a perfect spot for curling up with a good book. The kitchen is large, open and bright, and is fully equipped to handle meals for gatherings of all sizes. Off the kitchen is the laundry room with a wash-up sink, folding table and plenty of hanging space. Hi-speed internet with Wi-Fi means you'll never be out of touch. Also provided is a landline phone with free domestic long distance. The cottage has central heat & A/C. Pull-through driveway with carport keeps your vehicle clean and dry. The cottage sits on a wooded and lushly landscaped level lot for easy access.

Awesome Cabin
Cabin was perfectly stocked with everything you would need and extremely clean. Linda has the place set up with a very thoughtful taste. The property and surrounding area is beautiful with Tusquittee creek 20 steps from the house. We really enjoyed and highly recommend.

Perfect location
The house was steps from the most beautiful river with windows and rooms taking advantage of the view and sounds of the water. Every need was anticipated by the host, the home was clean and stocked with everything one would need for a mountain getaway.

The Best Winter Getaway
The Cottage was absolutely perfect for our winter getaway! Linda met us to check in and give us a tour. The Cottage was fully equipped with everything we could possibly need and was impeccably clean. Linda even had bowls and treats for our dog who came with us. We could not have had a better experience and will definitely be coming back for a Summer getaway!

Perfectly Peaceful
What a beautiful, relaxing property! Linda (property owner) makes the reservation process easy and has provided for every need in the home itself. Her dedication to creating a carefree stay for her tenants is evident. The creek is beautiful, the mountain views from the valley are awesome and the walking trails provide a great way to enjoy the property. If it was possible to give more than 5 stars, I would. We will certainly be returning in the future!

Lovely experience, and so dog friendly
My husband and I had an awesome experience staying at Linda's cottage. From the moment she gave us the keys and showed us around we felt right at home. We were really impressed with the special touches which included fresh flowers, dog bones and homemade birthday cake bites for my husbands 40th birthday! This is what vrbo is supposed to be before every property became so impersonal and managed by rental companies. Additionally, the property is beautiful. We loved sitting in the creek, walking the beautiful, well maintained trails with our dog and fishing in the pond... my husband caught 10 fish and was super happy! Also, the cottage is so dog friendly... so much that she provides sheets for the furniture so if they do get on, it's no big deal. And last, our dog had an absolute blast, especially swimming in the creek. Do not hesitate to stay here. We wish we would have stayed the whole week!

No Words or Pictures Can Adequately Capture This Magnificent Property
Our 11 days here were a wonderful blessing! This bright, spacious cottage was meticulously clean; beautifully furnished, with an oh-so-comfy bed and linens; tastefully decorated; wonderfully equipped and perfectly organized. The grounds - secluded, serene and quiet except for the sounds of sweet birds visiting the feeders and the creek’s never-ending symphony; lovely natural landscaping with a lush moss carpet and wild flowers; and incredible, private walking paths through the surrounding meadow acres, around the ponds, and along the tree-shaded creek. Our cottage-time - we were lazy in the screened porch and sunroom, and next to the water and fire-pit. We puzzled; read; prayed together; played games; prepared yummy meals in the cooks-kitchen and on the grill. We explored country roads framed by mountains - overlooking farmlands, creeks, and rivers. Our National Forest ride to Lake Nantahala - amazing! We hiked and hiked, including an Appalachian Trail segment! Our senior Labrador enjoyed the less-strenuous paths at Clay County Park, the Lake Chatuge Recreation Area, and the Little Tennessee River Greenway. We took-in the Brasstown Bald views; and enjoyed the John Campbell Folk School, Craft Shop, gardens and walking-paths. We thank our incredible hosts, Linda and Jorge for their passionate guest service commitment which we experienced from our 1st inquiry; as we were personally welcomed upon our arrival; and throughout our entire stay. We can't wait to return.

Beautiful Getaway
Gill's Cove Cottage was everything the description said it would be and so much more. Mrs. Linda met us upon arrival and showed us around the home and went over where everything was located. We arrived a little later than planned but she was so accommodating. I was so impressed with how clean the property was from the get go. Definitely the cleanest vacation home I have stayed in. We enjoyed the creek and the trails attached to the property so much. We have 3 wild boys and there was plenty of things to keep them busy!

The perfect peaceful hideaway!!!!!
This place was a perfect piece of paradise for our family of 3 and our dog! We were looking to get away from the business of life living near Myrtle Beach and we couldn’t have asked for better! This place had everything we needed and then some! We were surprised with hospitality gifts for all including a treat bag for our dog! I loved the vases of wild flowers from the property placed on the counter and in the bathrooms! The creek provided peace and fun for all from floating on a tube (which was perfect for my 5 year old), soaking in the cold water, wading around, fishing, or just letting the sights and sounds of nature lift all the stress away! The property also has lovely walking trails alongside the creek, around the large pond, and to another hidden pond in the woods. Lots of animals to see and the Mountain View’s from the pond are breathtaking! We hated to leave and will definitely be returning!
