Nicely located, Cozy, PET Friendly cottage in beautiful Lake Toxaway, NC

This little cottage has been in our family for 5 generations. It was built in the 1880's and sat on a basement with modern amenities in 1949, then a deck was added in the early 2000's. In 2020 we remodeled the house, updated the wiring, and added wifi. In September 2023 we put split units both upstairs and down stairs adding heat and air condition. There is 1 bedroom, a dining room, living room and a full kitchen upstairs. The downstairs includes 2 bedrooms, 1 full bathroom and a laundry room. It is furnished with our own eclectic blend of family antiques and flea market finds. There is also a deck with grill upstairs off of the kitchen for easy outdoor meals. Downstairs there is a nice back patio with easy access to a very large back yard, great for families and pets to enjoy. The front porch is adorned with two rocking chairs which provide a wonderful place to enjoy a morning cup of coffee.
This cottage is conveniently located off the side of Blue Ridge Road. The area is scenic, being in the mountains. There are lots of golf courses, hiking (Panthertown Valley, Pisgah National Forest, Nantahala National Forest, Gorges State Park), fishing (French broad river, Whitewater, Wolf Creek Lake, East Fork, North Fork of the French Broad), and waterfalls (Toxaway Falls, Whitewatwr Falls, Rainbow Falls, Schoolhouse Falls) within a few minutes of the house. The Lake Toxaway community center, which offers fun Friday nights with food and live music during the warm months, is only a short distance away, and has Tennis courts, a large play ground, a basketball goal, and a paved walking track. The beautiful Greystone Inn, a popular wedding and dining venue is less than 15 minutes away.
Lake Toxaway is a friendly community which enjoys all four seasons. Cool mountain air is very pleasant during the summer months, and the gorgerous leaves during the fall will simply mesmerize you. Winter offers nice mountain weather and Sapphire Valley has snow tubing and skiing available. On most trails you can find Wildflowers growing in abundance during the spring. Beauty can be found all around. Our little cottage is in the perfect location to offer all that the area has to give. We would be happy to have you make our place your perfect vacation destination.

First experience - now spoiled?

Definately better than staying at a hotel! And my dog loved it! Great house w large yard all well maintained and equipped w everything! It was more than I hoped for - I don't know if all places and hosts are as nice but this Vrbo experience was great - quiet, clean, full kitchen w appliances, was able to wash clothes in washer and drier! Only 1 bathroom but a nice one (plenty for me and I only used 1 of 3 bedrooms). Had great AC to cool down in hot weather after doing nearby hikes. Great upper deck and covered patio to chill out. Convenient location - Family was staying elsewhere only 12 minutes away. And did I say how much my dog loved it??

We thorughly enjoyed our stay at this cozy, historic mountain hideaway. We were 15 minutes away from Cold Mountain Trailhead at Panthertown, 15 minutes away from Tannassee Lake, and a only 22 minutes away from our Wolf Lake. We will be back in October. We can't wait to be back.

Loved it!

This home with so much family history was great for a three generations girls trip. We came up to see snow and let my daughter go skiing for the first time. It was a great location to where we were skiing (in Sapphire Valley). The surrounding area was lovely. The hosts couldn’t be nicer. Overall, we had a trip that we will always remember!

Amazing Walk Back in Time 140 Years Ago!

Loved this 1880s home, which is the oldest home still standing in Lake Toxaway. Intriguing family photos, letters, and memorabilia throughout the home will leave you mesmerized. There are history books to read, which will give you an amazing perspective into life and business at the turn of the 19th century. I enjoyed learning how and why Lake Toxaway was established, and was astounded when I read about the 3 hurricanes that came through in the summer of 1916. After so much rainfall in a short period of time, the dam collapsed and sent a 30 foot wall of water, and 5 billion gallons of water down the mountain. You must come experience this amazing, relaxing environment and see some of the 28 waterfalls that I have counted so far. This is truly God's Country. You will know when you see it.

Delightful!

We were long term guests - five weeks. When we're not RVing we stay in VRBO properties and I must say this was the most delightful ever. Huge yard, three (yup THREE) porches, three very comfortable bedrooms, well equipped kitchen (recently remodeled), responsive owners. This home has been in the family for many generations and each room had photos and newsclippings and memorabilia - the sort of thing we've always loved for our own home. Several things we didn't expect. First, we knew there was only one bathroom so being used to the convenience of two we thought this might be a drawback - nope. Turns out it's a big bathroom so sharing was doable and we managed just fine. Second, my husband and I love to play cards and talk yet enjoy some alone time in our respective dens at home. Turns out the dining room was perfect not just for the usual stuff but seated six comfortably when we had company and gave us the time and space to do our own thing with our laptops set up opposite each other. The electric fireplace was an unexpected prize. We spent several evenings cozily snuggled on the living room couch enjoying it and each other. So what if it wasn't a "real" fire? Coming from south Florida where there is rarely ever a need for a fireplace this one turned out to be a real treat. We would stay at this property again and recommend it to others - without hesitation. And did I mention how kind and responsive the owners were? I did? Well, then, it deserves to be said again! :)
