Storybook Cottage~ Cozy Stone Home~3bed/1bath~Long Term Stay~Pet Friendly

Howdy! I'm Molly, and am a Northern IL native, but traded the corn fields of IL for the mountains of East TN where I live with my husband, 4 kids, floofy German shepherd and an ever growing populous of chickens on our homestead. Being a host is truly a dream come true. Being the steward of this darling little cottage is the icing on the cake of life! It's an honor to host you here at Storybook and at Copper Ridge in beautiful Johnson City, TN.

This cozy little home is nestled near the river and Bike Path in a quiet, residential neighborhood full of adorable well kept bungalow homes. There is a family and friendly vibe among the neighborhood. We like that it's a great central location for getting around the area. We found that our guests enjoy the comforts of a home rather than a hotel, but due to city regulations and that big new hotel, we have been forced to disallow shorter stay rentals. Such a shame as it's been so fun and such an honor to share a this little piece of history with our guests.

History! In the early 1930's a Swedish stone mason and his family emigrated from Sweden and settled in Northern IL. As the story goes, he lovingly built this home for his family using the natural stone he found along the river. His workmanship was revered in his time, and is still cherished today. Under that beautiful stone exterior is a small house that lives large. Not only does this cottage have a fabulous modern kitchen and bath, but the house itself is naturally bright and airy. The evergreens, private driveway, quiet neighborhood, and yet close to everything make this a peaceful and relaxing place to stay when in the area. We call it "Storybook" because its natural charm lends itself to be something out of a storybook.
