Magical secluded hideaway on a French Country Estate with tranquil creek & ponds

Step into your very own storybook escape at the Fairytale Cottage—an enchanting private guesthouse tucked beside a sparkling creek on the sprawling grounds of Woodcreek Estate. This lovingly restored luxury cottage offers peace, privacy, and charm, all within minutes of Cleveland’s downtown district, Lee University, and the natural wonder of the Cherokee National Forest.

Whether you're seeking a romantic getaway, a creative retreat, or a serene stop on your Southern road trip, this hidden gem is sure to steal your heart.


A Storybook Setting

Set beside a gently winding creek and under a canopy of hardwood trees, the cottage is surrounded by fragrant gardens, mossy stone pathways, and the soothing sounds of nature. A TREX deck overlooks the water, offering the perfect place for morning coffee or stargazing at night. The chimney, limewashed to a soft grey, rises above the cedar shake roof, creating a fairytale profile straight out of a European countryside inn.

Inside, you’ll find an interior that blends French provincial elegance with cozy Southern hospitality:

Louis XIV–style sofa and seating nook
French inlaid wood and copper coffee table
Designer lighting and hardwood floors
Custom finishes and artistic touches throughout

Everything has been thoughtfully designed to inspire comfort and creativity.

this cottage is out of a fairy tale. However it is really a beautifully crafted building. All Oak paneling and trim throughout and done by craftsmen. Complete privacy. Easy access to town and surrounding areas. Plenty of opportunities to commune with nature both around the cottage and the beautiful Tennessee mtns. Only bummer was I discovered the swans were not real.

The perfect weekend getaway.

My husband and I celebrated our first wedding anniversary here, and it was absolutely perfect. It was the perfect getaway we needed, tucked in to beautiful scenery. We got a taste of the local town, and everyone was so kind and it was such a charming place.

Happily Ever After

We stayed here the night after our wedding and couldn’t have asked for a more fairy tale beginning. The ambience and personal touch the hosts prepared for us was magical! From the personalized welcome sign to the music in the air, this is a place we will never forget and will return again and again!

Secluded Haven

From communication with the host to check in and all the amenities that were provided, it was truly a delightful experience! If we could have extended our business in the area, we would’ve definitely stayed on this property.From the moment you drive up, it’s a WOW factor! Although it was on somebody’s property, you felt secluded in your own little haven with the river running alongside it a big pond in the front of it that you could walk around and enjoy. The bed was so comfortable that we almost didn’t make our checkout time Because we overslept! ! Lol. Truly a delight to experience! Thanks Jillian.

Adorable Little Cottage

The Cottage at Laurel Park was a picture off of a post card. It was such a neat experience in a beautiful town. Although feeling like you were a part of nature by its surrounding beauty, it was just a short drive to all of the places we wanted to visit. This property made our winter vacation that much more special. Thank you for having us!

Pure Relaxation!

My experience renting this property was exceptional. The cabin was very clean, fully equipped with everything we needed, and very private. The atmosphere was relaxing and calm. We were able to relax and reenergize before heading back to work. Biking parks and Greenways were close by as were restaurants, less than 5-minutes. We highly recommend this property.

Exceeded Expectations!!

We had an absolutely wonderful time at the cottage. The owners were extremely responsive and helpful. The cottage was very clean and felt so cozy and inviting. The location is phenomenal as the property abuts to a huge park that includes a frisbee golf course and paved walking paths. It is also within 5-10 minutes of everything you could need in the Cleveland area. Our dog joined us and it was one of his best vacations as well. We will be coming back to the property in the future!

About the host

Hosted by Jillian Corley

Host profile image
We are semi-retired city dwellers who wanted to fulfill their dreams of living in the country. We found the perfect property in the beautiful Laurel Valley of Cleveland, TN, and have spent many hours lovingly upgrading and restoring the acreage and homes to their unique and splendid heritage, with all the modern conveniences. We invite you to come and share in all we have to offer, and enjoy the beauty and solace the Cottage provides. Pictures don't do it justice, you have to experience it to believe it.

What makes this property unique

Staying in the Cottage is like spending the days and starry nights in the middle of the forest, surrounded by beautiful nature and all it entails. The Cottage is set up on a knoll, far away from the manor house, overlooking the ponds in front, and the forest and creek in the back. In order to experience the true magic of nature, the Cottage has many large windows with curtains throughout its entirety. Rest assured, the Cottage is very private, and we guarantee absolute privacy.
