About this property
Cozy Stone Cottage at Lake James and Linville Gorge. Pet friendly!
Our stone cottage, located at the foot of the Linville Gorge was built in another era. We've lovingly updated it creating a comfortable modern home keeping all its charm! Walk out the door to hike some of the most scenic well connected trails in NC. Pickle ball close-by. Come home to a fully stocked kitchen to cook great meals. Enjoy a cozy fireplace. Significant discount for monthly stays. $20 add’l cleaning fee for stays >7 days. Pets welcome. 1 pet is $60 and 2 pay $100 to stay.
The space Our home was constructed in the late 1940s as a one room stone cottage. Rooms were added on over time. In 2008 we purchased it and did a major renovation, opening it up to family, friends and guests. The inside is mostly stone and wood, a grounding and comforting retreat from a restless world. Two wonderful beds with great mattresses (a queen and a double). We have a cot with a foam mattress for your 5th guest.
The cottage is rustic but comfortable with welcoming wood floors, blackout curtains for a good night's sleep and a new heating/cooling system installed in 2022. Because our interior walls are stone, you may see an occasional bug but regular extermination keeps this to a minimum. Door openings into bedrooms are a bit low - so if you are 6' tall, you will need to duck your head. Many people love this space, but if you are looking for a hotel feel, it is probably best to look for a hotel!
We are so happy to have speedy reliable internet provided by the Starlink satellite system. So, yes, you can work from the cottage!
