About this property

My Happy Place at Lake Summit. Fenced Yard. Fire pit. Pets Welcome.

Kick back and relax in this thoughtfully updated cottage. It's the kind of place where time slows down and simple pleasures shine.

Inside, you'll find a semi-custom kitchen with leathered granite counters and stainless appliances - fully stocked with all the dishes and glassware you'll need for your family of four.

The spacious bathroom has a beautiful 48" custom tile shower (no tub) and both bedrooms are ready for restful nights after your mountain adventures.

Start your mornings on the screened front porch with a hot cup of locally roasted coffee. It's a favorite spot for reading, relaxing, or just breathing in the fresh air. The porch has comfy seating for three or four, perfect for unwinding any time of day.

Out back, a fenced yard wraps around the cottage, offering a mix of sunshine and shade. Relax on the deck with casual seating for four, or enjoy a meal at the cozy bistro table for two. Share dinner or a game of checkers under the custom pergola, or listen to raindrops on the metal roof.

As the sun sets, gather around the Solo Stove fire pit. We provide enough firewood for at least two fires -and yes, we've got throws if the evening air turns crisp.

Enjoy a game of croquet or corn hole on the lawn.

Walk to the Tuxedo community park and enjoy their basketball/pickleball court (borrow our pickleball set), playground, paved trail and Pollinator Garden.

Not in the mood to cook? Grubhub & Door Dash deliver right to the cottage.

Whether you're adventuring outdoors or lounging with a book on the porch, this cozy cottage is your home base for making mountain memories.

Lake Summit is a 4 minute walk. Flat Rock: 3 miles, Hendersonville: 8 miles, Travelers Rest: 22 miles, Asheville: 35 miles. 7 miles to Ride Rock Creek Mountain Bike Park. Hike Carl Sandburg National Historic Site, Palmetto Trail or DuPont State Forest.

Guest access: You'll have access to the whole house and grounds.

Other things to note: Dollar General is across the street from Tuxedo Park if you need supplies.

NOTE: Your safety matters. There is a doorbell camera on the front porch. The camera faces the front driveway. It does not look into any interior spaces. The device camera records video/audio when it detects motion or when the video doorbell button is pressed.
