About this property

Gnome Hill Cottage

512' square shed converted to very cozy mountain bunkhouse style cottage with an open floorplan except for the bathroom. There's a large screened porch (32' x 8'), and a smaller deck with charcoal grill and fire pit. Still a work in progress. Secluded in the woods but very close to several state parks with fishing, lakes, rivers, waterfalls, scenic overlooks, canoeing & kayaking, and hiking areas. Very woodsy and peaceful.

Be sure to bring your groceries with you. There is a Dollar General about 3 miles away with some food items, and a very nice Ingle's about 12 miles north on Hwy. 11.

If you bring a pet it is required that you text me a picture of your baby(ies) inside the cottage. There is a mandatory $20 pet fee, and an additional $20 will be charged to your account if any "accidents" are left inside, or on the porch and deck. Yes, people have done that.

There is no mandatory cleaning fee, but guests are encouraged to leave a tip for the cleaning staff, especially if you stay multiple nights, or are extra messy.

Note: The ceilings in the living areas are low and under the lofts in the shed. If you're tall, it may feel a little cramped.

Cosmetic updates are being done so there is a bit of clutter at one end of the screened porch. All of the amenities are good, though. Thank you for your understanding.

If you need sleeping space for more than 2, please check out our other rental on the same property, Rose's Cabin. It sleeps 4, and has a fenced in area for dogs.

Thanks for checking us out!

cozy and comfortable

We spent three days at the cabin. The bed was comfortable, Charlotte had some dog dishes ready for my dog (and I forgot her dishes). We had everything we needed. It took me a few minutes to figure out the induction stove. You have to put the pan or pot on the burner before you choose the temperature, but after that it was smooth sailing! I loved the back porch and the rockers. There was a tower fan and a ceramic heater available and the last day we thing wefigured out the air conditioner can double as a heater. Cute and homey decor. We didn't meet Charlotte but we were gone a couple of days exploring.

Great remote refuge

Very cozy and comfortable little cottage tucked away in a very peaceful corner of the mountains. I plan to stay here again! Host was very cordial and responsive.The road in is a little rough, not a problem for me, really, just be prepared and aware and take it slow. I recommend this one!

Traditional Mountain Experience

Just what I was hoping for! Trees, mountains, privacy, comfort... so amazing! The cabin was adorable, very well thought out, simple, comfortable, warm shower with good water pressure! Loved it so much. Close to State Parks and lots of trails, stuff to do.

Beautiful Secluded Cottage

So precious and perfect for 2 people. Charlotte was easily accessible; although we ran into no issues where we needed to reach her. We are already planning our next trip to stay here again!

Needed get-away

This is my second time staying at the Gnome Hill Cottage. It's a perfect spot for some needed get-away time. It's quiet & isolated, yet not far from Travelers Rest or several trails. Charlotte is a very thoughtful & responsive host.

Peaceful and quiet -- so many stars!

My husband and I came to the cabin for a little weekend getaway and to have a peaceful, quiet Thanksgiving holiday with our puppy and each other. The cabin was ADORABLE, super clean, well stocked with supplies, and we loved how isolated we felt, while still having excellent wifi. We were able to read, play videogames, watch Christmas movies, and relax! Absolutely would stay again!!

Pleasant Cabin Getaway

My partner and I (and our two dogs) greatly enjoyed our time at Charlotte's cabin. It was very quiet and had all the amenities we needed. I will say that the drive up from the main road was more precarious than I was expecting based on the information provided in the listing. I have a midsize SUV, so it was no problem for us, but I would not recommend driving a sedan up the dirt/gravel roads.

Much needed quiet time

My husband and I spent 9 nights at the Gnome Hill cottage. The cabin is very cute and well equipped. We cooked almost every meal including a couple times on the grill. Our last two nights the temperature dropped and we enjoyed sitting on the patio with a fire in the fire place. We had our dog with us who probable enjoyed the vacation as much if not more than us. She loved running through the woods, investigating all the new smells. We explored the near by towns, and went to the Big Foot Festival. The host was extremely helpful and took care of our needs. She made us feel very welcome.

We unfortunately visited at the time hurricane Helene came through and experienced a lot of rain and downed trees but the host was ver accommodating and we got through it together. The trip was fun exciting and a little scary at times but we will gladly go back

Cute cabin, but cleanliness left a lot to be desired

First off, I did give our host the heads up that we had had some issues regarding the property. In response I got a single sentence reply without any sort of apology. On to the review. Pros - Great location, very quiet and peaceful - the cabin was well stocked in terms of things you may need during your stay. - very well prepared for pets. Cons: - The cabin was NOT clean. The toilet was filthy when we arrived, there was what looked like fecal matter smeared on the walls and outside of the toilet and mold in several corners. Dishes had been put away dirty, cobwebs were everywhere, and the best part - the bedsheets were absolutely covered in fur. There were no spare bed linens, and the extra blankets smelled extremely strongly of dog. In fairness to the host, we arrived late and were busy the next day so I didn’t remember to ask about new sheets. That’s on me. However, the bed was very clearly made when we arrived, so someone had to have looked at the sheets. Overall, our stay was ok. The cabin is laid out comfortably and well stocked, but the cleanliness left quite a bit to be desired.

The cottage was exactly what we needed for our stay near Table Rock State Park. It is clean and comfortable with many thoughtful touches to make us feel welcome. We will stay there again when we are back in the area.

I'm a retired lady from Atlanta who moved up here to live in the woods in my natural pine bunkhouse style cabin. Yes, I love animals, too. My work involved traveling all over the country, and now I'm settled living in my favorite vacation environment.

Why they chose this property

I picked this lot because of all the trees, seclusion, and serenity.
