Looking for a beautiful retreat nestled in the mountains or a family vacation getaway - you've found it!

Whispering Creek Cottage located in historic Little Switzerland is just off the Blue Ridge Parkway with easy access to Asheville & Blowing Rock. A gently winding mountain road will guide your ascent to peace and tranquility as you approach this adorable 1915 cottage.

Whispering Creek Cottage is owned by two artists, who have added their own decorative flair to each room. This cozy two bedroom, one bath cottage has a large full kitchen/dining area, nice sized living room and sleeps four adults comfortably. You will love the heart-of-pine floors, the sound of rain on the tin roof, fireplaces in each bedroom, large front porch and original artwork throughout.

Whether sitting on the front porch or napping in the hammock you will be lulled by the babbling creek, which runs along side the cottage. The kids will have a grand time playing in the creek and with any luck will see a salamander or a crawfish hiding beneath the rocks. Summer nights bring promises of starlit skies, catching fire flies and roasting marshmallows in our outdoor fire pit.

The small towns of Marion at the bottom of the mountain and Spruce Pines on the other side of the Blue Ridge Parkway offer plenty of choices for grocery shopping or grabbing a bite to eat.

So whether spending your days relaxing at the cottage or enjoying a day of adventure in nature ... your stay at Whispering Creek Cottage will be one that you will long remember.

                Spent 4 lovely nights in this artist's cottage and we cannot wait to return. So clean and comfortable and just off the Blue Ridge Parkway. We loved sitting on the porch in the morning drinking our coffee and listening to the babbling creek. It was so peaceful and quiet and had everything needed. It was like staying at your granny's house except with satellite TV. We highly recommend Whispering Creek Cottage and hope to get back there someday.

                Recommended for: Girls getaway, age 55+, romantic getaway, sightseeing, families with young children.

                Owner response: What a nice response. I have been concerned with motorcycles enjoying the winding road. They can be noisy but entertaining. Brenda

                Week of fall in the mountains of Western North Carolina. This is easy math. The cottage popped out of nowhere up a quiet winding road. Serene: def. The hammock on the front porch and the creek running by. If someone ever needs to get away or have a centalized place to Asheville and Hickory and then be able to get away from the "busyness" this is it. Have an obligation in the fall of 2013 around the same time frame, so will be back again

                Perfect spot to get away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life and to find peace and solitude.  Very relaxing and quiet and with easy access to the Blue Ridge Parkway for exploring and day trips.

                We had a wonderful visit at the Whispering Creek Cottage.  We loved hanging out on the front porch with our 2 little girls.  We had fun by the creek and roasting marshmallows each night at the fire pit.  We can't wait to come back!

                What a wonderful weekend getaway in a charming mountain cabin!  We hope to stay here again on our next trip to Little Switzerland! We thoroughly enjoyed the sound of the creek outside of the bedroom window, swinging in the hammock, watching the cars navigate the winding road, and the cabin's quiet yet convenient location.

                We very much enjoyed our stay at the cottage. The house was plenty big for a family of four, especially the kitchen, which was very well supplied. We loved the art and decor, very charming. We will have to come back sometime to enjoy our drinks on the porch to the sound of the creek!

                If you are looking for privacy and relaxation, this home has been set up you. Artfully delightful embellishments, and very quaint. I stayed in the home for seven months and enjoyed every day there. My only disappointment was the hot tub wasn't hooked up. The owners have really spent their time making sure that everything you need is at hand. My only regret is that I couldn't have stayed longer.

                We have gone here the last two years and are headed here again. My children beg to go. They love it. The house is great. It has everything we need. The kids love the fire pit and creek in the back. They will spend forever there. We also try a different nearby hike each year. It has become our end of summer destination. Thank you for sharing it with us.

              Owner info

              Year Purchased: 2006

              About the owner: My husband and I purchase our cottage in 2006. We have put in a lot of work to renovate this 1915 cottage to make it comfortable for life in the 21st century while still keeping its early 20th century charm. It is a perfect place to get away from your everyday life. We love it so much that we want to share it with others. We hope you consider staying at our lovely cottage.

              Why the Owner Chose Little Switzerland:
              I have enjoyed this area of the country for years. My husband and I are both artists and we love the fact that there are so many artist living and working in the area. We also enjoy camping, hiking and fishing and this area is great for those pursuits.

              The Unique Benefits at this Cottage:
              I find that when we stay at the cottage we can fully relax. The fresh mountain air and the beautiful starlit nights amaze us each time we come here,
