We thoroughly enjoyed our time at this delightful cottage! It was a welcome haven from the busy world, and especially restful because it was exactly as described and actually even better. It was the tiny things like the Phillips head screwdriver and the flathead screwdriver in the kitchen that just spoke to how well Carman took care of her guests.We’re delighted to have this retreat on our radar now.

Charming Cottage

If you love whimsical, a fully stocked, comfortable, and very quiet cottage, except for the birds, tree frogs and the river, this is as close to heaven as you can get! Carmen and Jim are very kind and helpful. So many wonderful little towns nearby and waterfalls and hiking in abundance.

A cute little cottage!

The Host hospitality was excellent. They were very helpful. We got to see falls that we never seen in our past visits to the area. The house is very cute, a little small but great for just a couple. A secluded little stay, that we wanted.

Anniversary weekend getaway

The cottage is great is located in a wonderful place near the Little Tennessee river with private Falls. It had a special place to have a campfire and just nice and cozy away from everything. The host and hostess were great. They live next-door, but we’re very available when needed for questions and left a sweet surprises on our arrival. We would recommend this place to anyone.

Great week in the mountains!

The cottage is spotless, cozy, and comfortable. The special touches of fresh flowers and delicious pound cake were over the top! Mountain views from the front porch rockers, watching birds and hummingbirds frequenting the feeders, and the sound of the river below are awesome! Jim and Carman are gracious hosts and just good folks, who bend over backwards to take care of their guest. There are trails and waterfalls right on the property, and plenty of things to do in the area. We look forward to coming back again! Thank you Jim and Carman!
