About this property

A Beautifully Kept Historic Retreat, Walking Distance to Downtown

Wake up in a charming historic cottage, sip coffee on the porch then stroll just minutes to Little Washington's beautiful waterfront, local restaurants, breweries and boutique shops. Whether you are traveling with your dogs, in town for our many festivals, visiting ECU, or escaping for a quiet weekend, The Tilted Cottage is designed to feel like your own little home in coastal North Carolina.

The cottage has been fully renovated, impeccably cleaned and stocked with everything you need for a comfortable stay. Enjoy fast WiFi for remote work, central AC and heat for every season, plenty of parking and a spacious, fully fenced-in yard where both guests and four-legged friends can unwind.

A few steps away is the newly updated Bug Park with brand new pickleball courts. A 10 minute walk or short bike ride carries you to Haven's Gardens Park on the Pamlico River where the kids can enjoy a large playground and picnic area or enjoy all that Main Street has to offer. If you don't feel like driving or walking back, take advantage of the FREE Tar Pamlico Trolley that will bring you straight to our front door. Then spend your night relaxing with a book, a game night or firing up the grill with friends.

The Cottage is conveniently located just 30 minutes to Greenville NC airport (PGV), East Carolina University and 45 minutes to New Bern and Coastal Carolina Airport (EWN) making it the perfect home base.

About the host

Hosted by Patty Cass

Host profile image
I love hosting! This is my only property and I handle it myself - no management company can live up to my standards. I have met so many great guests and many return year after year. In fact, two of my regulars have now bought homes in Washington! You'll have all the privacy of your own home but, if you need me, I answer.

I love our two rescued Great Pyrenees (all 200 pounds of them!) and our one little spoiled mutt that we rescued from the woods. I have lived around the world and now my husband and I are happily settled on 5 acres in the forest. Life is good and we are blessed.

Why they chose this property

The Tilted Cottage is all about family. I fell in love with my house in Little Washington but there was no way that my extended family would all fit! The little cottage behind my house was for sale and we fully renovated it in 2017. Our business was strong until Hurricane Florence hit in 2018, flooding the Cottage with 9 inches of water. It was truly devastating but we were not willing to give up. We gutted the Cottage down to the studs, raised it 6 feet in the air and completely renovated it.. again! It is now better than ever with great upgrades like granite countertops and beautiful flooring throughout. It took 16 months of renovation but now The Tilted Cottage is ready for you to visit! Our large yard is shaded by beautiful old pecan trees and, if you are lucky enough to visit at the right time, you can help yourself to the figs in the front yard. We do not spray pesticides on the trees. Our neighbors are wonderful and you will find dog friendly people wherever you go.

What makes this property unique

The Cottage sits on a large, private, fenced lot on a quiet street. There are two amazing playgrounds and a dog park up the road. I love being able to walk to dinner in town on these beautiful North Carolina evenings. My neighbors are great people and you will find them very friendly. In fact, I'm sure Washington will be one of the friendliest towns you will visit!
