About this property
My Happy Place: Updated. Fenced Yard. Screened Porch. Fire Pit. Pet Friendly.
Enjoy the screened porch and the Solo Stove fire pit with Adirondack chairs. Walk or bike the lake and bring the pup! Settle back in this quaint, cozy lovingly updated cottage oasis. It's a four minute walk to Lake Summit. Relax on the screened porch or deck. Sleep in comfy queen beds with soft linens, room darkening blinds, extra pillows and blankets. Semi custom kitchen with leathered river rock granite countertops and stainless appliances. 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. Walk to Tuxedo Park for a game of pickle ball (we have a set for 4 you may use). Well mannered pets are welcomed with a small pet fee (be sure to include “pet” in your reservation), they will love the fenced-in back yard!
The Property: You'll love this quaint, cozy two bedroom, one bathroom cottage. Bath has custom tile shower (no tub). Our guests love to have morning coffee or read a book on the screened front porch, and you will, too! That porch has casual seating for three or four. The fenced in back/side yard includes a deck for relaxing or dining (casual seating for four and a bistro table with seating for two). There is room for four at the picnic table under the custom pergola. You can enjoy a meal or a game of checkers outdoors. Sit by the Solo Stove fire pit in the evening. Throws are available if the air gets chilly. Enjoy a round of croquet or corn hole in the back yard or basketball/pickleball at the community park!
Guest access: You'll have access to the whole house and grounds.
Other things to note: Tuxedo Park is within walking distance. it's a small park but well appointed! There is playground equipment and nicely paved walking trails. Newly added combination basketball/pickleball court! It's first come, first served. We offer our pickle ball set for loan if you'd like to play a game at the park. Dollar General is across the street from Tuxedo Park.
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.
