About this property
Charming 2-bedroom cottage in a wooded setting sitting high above Chauga River
A quaint cottage tucked into the woods is perfectly sized for a couple or 2, a small family, or small group of friends.
Completely updated with interior paint and expertly furnished with vintage, antique, and custom slipcovered pieces.
Three double French doors off the living/dining area open onto a large covered deck overlooking the Chauga River. You'll find Adirondack chairs and an outdoor table and chairs to enjoy outdoor dining.
Indoors the combined kitchen, living, and dining make gathering convenient and cozy.
A queen sized bed is on the first floor with a second bedroom with twin sized beds on the second floor. Each bedroom is supplied with beautiful bedding, blankets and pillows, lamps for reading, and antique armoires for hanging clothes. A daybed with trundle is in the upstairs loft for a 5th or 6th guest.
In the upstairs loft you'll find a ukulele and guitar for making music and a vintage turntable and collection of vinyl for listening to music. Cards, board games, books, and magazines are also in the loft for your use.
If you're looking for some alone time, try the porch swing on the lower, secluded porch.
For getting closer to nature, a stairway behind the cottage meanders through the woods to the small river overlook. A large wooden deck with built-in seating is located along the stairway for gathering with friends in the outdoors.
