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.

Clean & Close to Greystone Inn

We stayed for a quick weekend with our 2 dogs and had a wonderful stay. This property was a 10 minute drive from the Greystone Inn, where our friends got married, and about 15-20 min from Gorge State Park where we did the Rainbow Falls Trail, and had a blast!

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!

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??
