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.

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.

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

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.
