Welcome to Cottage in the Cove!
IMPORTANT: Linens and towels are not provided at this property, nor is there a washer/dryer. There are a lot of stairs to access the cottage, but it's worth it!
Wow! That was a lot of stairs, but you made it, and now look what a sweet cottage you are in right on the water! Before making the beds and putting out the towels, let's look around. Look at that view! Let's walk through the kitchen and the living room to go out the back door - everyone wants to see the lake. I love looking at it from the kitchen and living room windows, but it will be even better out here. Look at the single chair sitting beneath the trees overlooking the lake; it reminds me of the perfect place for the strong, silent type to sit or the one who likes their coffee with a spoonful of reflection. What a cozy fire pit and little cove - there's not much privacy, but this is cute and comfortable! A great place to stay when you have activities planned, such as coming to town for a wedding, trail riding at a local stable, hiking, or going to Biltmore. You will get a workout with the stairs, but who doesn't need a little heart health and muscle building? Get that circulation moving! Did you rent a boat or plan on using the kayaks that are provided? This place is also perfect for those who want a lot of lake time adventure!
Let's go back inside and check out the house. Yes, the living room is comfortable with a pretty view and an open floor plan, and the kitchen seems perfect for cooking up some greens, beans, and cornbread while watching the sunset. Now, off to the downstairs bathroom and then upstairs. Wow, this bathroom is nice! It's been redone like the rest of the house and has a modern feel. There is a dehumidifier here; it's not because the house is moist; it's just to protect this lakefront home from too much moisture from sitting so close to the water. Don't worry, you don't have to do anything about it, and it's hushed. Let's go upstairs using the charming spiral staircase. You can also access the upstairs by going in an upper door from outside, but let's go this way this time. You might find you use it every time! The upstairs is like an adorable cottage. Who's sleeping on the daybed? Anyone? If not, I want to read a book and take a nap there! The upstairs bedroom is delightful, and the tastefully remodeled modern half bathroom can be accessed from both the day bed sleeping area and the bedroom. Enjoy your stay, and don't forget to add something to the guest journal!

Location was great in a little cove on the water. The house was well maintained, clean, and felt like home. I would highly recommend this for a small family, couple, or friends getaway.
This location offers a serene escape, away from the hustle and bustle. Nestled in a quiet area, it provides a peaceful atmosphere that’s ideal for relaxation. Whether you're looking to unwind or enjoy some solitude, the tranquility of this spot is unmatched. A great choice for anyone seeking a calm and rejuvenating getaway.
This is exactly what I was looking for to enjoy a fishing weekend away with my 8 year old before school started. We spent most of our time outside on the deck fishing and eating. I loved that I could open the window in the kitchen and chat with my child while he fished. I hope we’re able to come back again next year!

Thank you so much! We love hearing how much you enjoyed your stay.
The only problem was the stairs. I think it should be clear in the listing the amount of stairs you have to access the property. People who have physical limitations would be very disappointed to book and arrive to find so many stairs.

We are so sorry you were not aware of the stairs :( We do have it as the first sentence of the property description in all marketing for this home.
I copied it below for future guests:

Welcome to Cottage in the Cove!
Wow! That was a lot of stairs but you made it and now look what a sweet cottage you are in right on the water! Before we make the beds and put out the towels let's take a look around....."
This is a cute little house on the lake. No joke about the steps leading down to the house though. 91 steps! Pack light so you don’t have to make a bunch of trips up and down the steps. Definitely bring your own linens and towels. There was some confusion about that during our booking but the property manager was very helpful. It’s definitely a cute house for a short stay on the lake. Our kids loved it.
A wonderful stay for a dad and his two daughters on Fathers Day wknd. It was our favorite vacation and booked it again next summer. The pontoon boat rental was out first and was as much fun as breathtaking with all the views. There are great places to eat on the water and a short walk from the beach. The 3 kayaks and paddle board were great also. The steps down to the cabin were very doable, especially since we had a giant roof rack bag. Made 1 trip down and took stuff back up in pieces on the way out as needed. Internet worked great, local cell coverage is spotty. So I suggest downloading the area map onto your phone for navigation. Great local deer spotting as well.
I read a lot of reviews about this property before booking. I agree, there are a couple of minor issues: 1.) There are some steep steps to navigate down to the property and back up to the road. 2.) To unload your backpacks, bedding or anything that goes into the upstairs bedrooms, you do need to do that through the upstairs door to the top floor of the house. However, there’s a narrow spiral staircase between floors inside the house. Apart from these “Minor Issues”, the property was excellent! Right on the water with two Kayaks available, a grill, excellent WiFi, good fishing, excellent shower room, a couple of nice restaurants and convenience store within 20 mins and (while we were there) quiet at night! We will stay there again!
Overall an amazing stay. The cabin was perfect for a fun vacation/getaway. The views of the mountains and location being right on the lake was perfect. Overall me and my family had a great time and I would love to come back some day!
It was a good place to stay with regards to the area. It was very quiet which we enjoyed. Other than the stairs it was a great place to stay. Future guests should be aware of the steps. Thanks.
Cute and cozy, very relaxing. The drive was beautiful with plenty of nature to be seen. The cove is very peaceful and there is plenty of kayaking, floating and boat rentals available. My wife and I are 60 and in good shape so we made the stairs part of our exercise program.
We had a short stay at this property for a wedding. The cottage is cute, but there is NO INTERNET, or cell phone service! There are 72 stairs you have to go up and down to get to your vehicle/into the cottage. Not for anyone with a physical disability. There is a very small spiral staircase that leads to the bedroom, which isn't easy for adults to climb due to its size. My husband and I are in good shape, and both on the slender side, yet we still had difficulty with the outdoor stairs and indoor spiral staircase.
The house is adorable and the view is stunning over the lake. The stairs to get to and from the property can be a difficult so something to keep in mind before renting. It was quite the workout for my legs! There is also no wifi connection which is fine if you can still get service which we could in certain parts of the house but it would definitely be a nice addition so that it would be easier to look things up and plan on the go. Overall we had a wonderful time just relaxing and enjoying the view!

Liked: Cleanliness, location
Disliked: Listing accuracy
Nice place, the description lied about its location
The physical layout of the place was quite nice, and the description stated 72 steps down to the property, but we expected that and it was quite nice to stay right along the lake. The key problem was that the description stated the location of the property very precisely by distance to different landmarks. Those distances turned out to be to the property rental office. This unit was 6 miles further. It turned out that we were able to find a very nice walk so the weekend worked out okay. But I absolutely do not recommend anyone rent from a place that lies about the location of its property. Incidentally, the place came with no towels and sheets, and it took a few phone calls to convince the staff that the check-in instructions absolutely stated these would be provided. But they were delivered. We didn't need to go through a few phone calls to do this. But to me, lying about the location of the property was the big problem for any property being rented by this company.

David, we would never lie to a guest, we are a very busy and well respected firm and simply don't have time for such nonsense.
There was clearly a technical error with the electronic visitor guide; this is our only home that Never comes with linens or towels and we have it in the first line of the property description so everyone is aware. We are sorry you did not read that important information when you booked the home and also sorry for the technical error, but to call us liars on a public forum.. Not cool!
