♥ROMANTIC COTTAGE in a Treehouse setting. Creek/decks. wood-burning stove

**Enjoy a leisurely late checkout -for a limited time only**
Our Beautiful creek-side cottage is set in a woodland dream on an acre of cool hardwood forest mountain land. The cottage is vintage with modern upgrades. We kept the lovely hardwood floors and wormy chestnut wood walls, but modernized the kitchen. Cooking in this kitchen is a pleasure. Its spacious and well lit. You will love the butcher block counter tops and Italian natural stone floor. It is well equipped with new stainless steel appliances (refrig/freezer, gas stove, dishwasher), dishes and cookware. You will rest peacefully in our cozy cottage bedrooms. They are small cottage size, so we make up for it with very comfortable bedding. Included are high quality 100% cotton bed linens and alternative down duvets, medium firm gel foam beds.

For your peace of mind, our beautiful beds are protected with water proof mattress and pillow protectors as well as duvet covers which are changed between each guest stay. Two fluffy white cotton towels per guest. All our linens and towels are gleaming white so our guests can rest assured that everything is beautifully clean!


The chaise room is perfect for quiet time. Just sit back and enjoy the view from a room full of window above the forest.

Want to soak in the mountain air. We have some options. The back deck is private and situated among the treetops just outside the back door. A stone footpath leads to a magical place by the creek. This is a great place for morning coffee or evening wine. If you just have to work, the internet speed is 400.

Our cottage is in a coveted location less than one mile to Blue ridge Parkway entrance and a perfect launching pad for so many area activities. It is 7 minutes to downtown historic Waynesville, 30 min to Asheville, 30 min to Harrah's Cherokee casino and Cherokee Indian Reservation, easy access to Pisgah, Nantahala, Great Smokey Mountain National Forest, and the Appalachian Trail.

Sweet mountain home tucked into the treetops
Wonderful private location, but didnt feel 'unsafe' as a single female; beautiful kitchen- had anything I might need; great bedding, would be fun for winter stay as well. Close enough to town but still offered private 'forest' experience. Everything was very clean and orderly. Platform deck overlooking the creek was PERFECT for music and cocktail, as well as quiet reflection time. Great choice for a 'sabbath' spot or time with friends. Easy check in and out; got everything I needed from host with ease. Highly recommend.

Cute, Cozy, Clean and Convenient
This adorable cabin was the perfect spot for my friend and I to relax and visit. It felt away-from-it-all and secluded, yet Walker-in-the-Hills is so convenient. Other cabins and homes nestled in nearby woods make for a safe and friendly community. And, very quiet! Kitchen is complete including spices. Requests or questions were quickly handled by the hosts. If you arrive after dusk, the front security light does pop on, so that’s helpful. Wood burning stove and fireplace are great touches, but furnace alone kept us plenty toasty during a beautiful fall weekend. Lovely views out the many windows! Cute, cozy place!

Perfect cottage
Myself and my wife returned to visit Waynesville/Maggie Valley for a quick getaway after moving away from the area 26 years ago. The cottage was perfect for us. It’s in a quiet area and close to Maggie Valley, Cherokee and parkway. It’s a clean and comfortable house and had everything we needed for our stay. Anna and David responded to questions very quickly

Great location to the Blue Ridge Parkway and Smokey Mountains made this cozy cottage the perfect place for us to stay. Enough parking for our truck and tailer with our Harley. This was a great location to take off on rides either way on the Blue Ridge. October is a beautiful month in the area. We would chose this location again.

A quiet retreat
The house made a nice get-away for our family, in a quiet little neighborhood but not far from a main road, so we had easy access to Asheville as well as views and hikes off the Blue Ridge Parkway. We did bring a cot so our sons (teens) wouldn't have to share a bed, but the couch was also big enough for one of them to sleep on. The modern kitchen was particularly nice for us, as we do like to cook when staying at a house rental!

cozy mountain getaway
My adult son and I were very comfortable in this quaint, cozy cottage located in Waynesville in a nice established neighborhood right off the main highway. Although the house sits right on the road, it does not feel like it. The back of the property is in the trees and there are no houses close by. It was super clean, beds were comfortable, kitchen was well stocked, plenty of plush towels. Bathrooms are small but adequate. .
