Charming Cottage - 5 minutes from Lake Glenville

We called this the Charming Cottage because it looks like something from a fairy tale. Goldilocks would have found this cottage to be just right even with the bear painting on the front porch. The cabin features wide plank flooring with a distressed finish, post and beam construction with cute decorative corbels, and a loft bedroom straight from an alpine chalet.

The main floor is an open kitchen/ living room with an island eating station. Or you can pull out the TV tray next to the loveseat to properly veg out while streaming movies. The surprising large is just off the living room. If you want an outdoor experience, sit on the back deck and watch the fireflies in the summer nights.

The queen bed is located upstairs in a loft with a steeply pitched roof. I added tape lighting to give it a properly tent-like effect. There is a window a/c unit up there since heat rises and that tin roof can really warm up on a summer day. And there is a cozy rug and fuzzy blanket for cool winter nights.

This cabin is one of four unique cabins on our property. The main house, where we live, is central to all four cabins. This cabin and one other are right next to our house, and two are across the creek. All of the cabins are close to other residences.

Our wee village of tiny houses is located in the bustling community of Glenville and on the main thoroughfare from Sylva to Cashiers. That means there is road noise, especially during commuting hours. There is also people noise.

Glenville is between Cashiers and Sylva, but much closer to Cashiers. Lake Glenville is one of the main draws to the community. Signal Ridge Marina is 1/2 mile away and the public boat launch is 2 1/2 miles. Chimney Pond Farm (formerly Sawyer Farm) is just over a mile from the cabins. Highlands and Cullowhee are a 30 minute drive. Signal Ridge Marina rents boats, canoes, kayaks and paddle boards.

We are located on a two lane state highway in the mountains. There are very few streetlights. It can be challenging to navigate in the dark, but most mapping is accurate and we have a house number sign at the entrance to the driveway. Since we are on the main road, it is always plowed when we get snow and we rarely lose power for any length of time. But there is some road noise which is the handoff for easy access.

The driveway is concrete on the steep part and gravel where you park.

Please park between the front cabin and the carport. There is a small sign that says “Charming Cottage Parking”.

Cell phone coverage is limited in the mountains.

The Tv has a Roku streaming device but no antenna or cable tv.
