Beautiful small home designed after many trips to Italy!. Located in a peaceful neighborhood tucked in a wooded area! It has all the amenities you need to feel at home.

5-8 minutes away, you can find an Ingles supermarket with a Starbucks and gas station, a Walmart, an ALDI and other convenient stores.


After going to Italy, Spain, Morocco, Mexico and many other beautiful countries, we wanted to bring some of that beauty our way. You will notice this on the beautiful walls in this cottage.
The kitchen is fully equipped with the things you’ll need such as Keurig, coffee maker, dinnerware, cookware, toaster, blender....etc.

We now have a GRILL.!!!. You can dine in, and avoid restaurants or eat out by the fire pit! :)

After a nice day out, you can enjoy your evening on the porch (or fire pit seating area) listening to the birds or inside catching up on your favorite TV show. We provide Cable as well as Netflix. Our king bed will give you a good night rest to wake up the next day feeling ready for a new adventure.

Cabin of delight

We continue to return to this perfect spot in Forest City. It is secluded, quiet, and convenient to the area. It is always spotless and so comfortable. We feel lucky to have found it several years ago and will continue to use it when we are in the area.

Horse event

Absolutely the best VRBO experience I have ever had. The house was comfortable and had every convenience you can think of and more. Private and quiet and quite serene. Yet close to all stores and shopping. I would give this place a 20 if I could !

So relaxing, convenient and quiet

I have stayed at this property 3 times over the past 3 years since my daughter was a student at Gardner Webb University. It has always been very relaxing, quiet, and clean. It is a great location to get to Boiling Springs, Charlotte and the mountains. Highly recommend!

This is the second year I have stayed her when visiting my daughter at college. It is a very comfortable, clean, quiet house/cabin. Amenities are good and it is in a convenient location to Ashville, Shelby, and other things to do such as hiking. Will stay again!

Home Away from Home

This experience was amazing. The hosts provide literally everything you need except clothes and food. Fire wood and everything to start the fire in the fire pit. The grill had propane and lit up one the first ignitor push. And everything inside the cottage you need except food and clothes. Property is quiet and peaceful. There is a grocery store 5 min away and plenty of things to do with in an hour drive. 10/10 recommend.

Forest City Getaway

Our stay at this Forest City area cottage was excellent. The cottage was very clean and very well maintained. It was exactly as advertised and I would stay there again on a future visit to the area. The hosts were most helpful and very concerned that we were happy with our stay. I would highly recommend this VRBO to anyone interested in one of this size and type.

This is our 2nd time staying here & it has been such a pleasure both times! So cute, comfortable, clean & convenient & the owner is always so easy to communicate with. She even brought over her hand blender again so I could use it for a dish I made for a family picnic. Can’t go wrong staying here! ❤️

Weekend get away

I booked this property as a get away for my Wifes birthday its the perfect size for two people. Its in a nice location close to Forest City, many winery's in the area about an hour from Charlette or an hour from Ashville. Cabin seems secluded with plenty of wooded area around and privacy fence. Very simple but well thought out. We had a great time and will defiantly stay here if we are in the area again.

Loved it all. Wish you had tee towels and dawn dish detergent for the few dishes we used. Wasteful to run a dishwasher. We brought our own sheets to cover furniture and floor runners for our dogs. Too bad it was cold and couldn't enjoy the fire pit. Truly love the bed it is so comfortable, a tv in the bedroom would have been nice. I'm thankful for you allowing pets.

Another Wonderful Stay with Kimberly & Alex

I just can’t say enough about the hosts & this sweet, comfortable cottage! We have stayed here multiple times when coming from Montana to visit my family & can’t imagine staying anywhere else. We travel a bit & have rented many properties that were great, but it just does not get any better than Kimberly & Alex’s cottage. They are far & above other rental hosts & simply exceptional at offering outstanding service to their guests! The cottage is always well stocked with amenities, offers great closet & storage space & is super clean & comfortable, not to mention so beautifully decorated. 😍 The washer & dryer are a great asset, too! We love that the cottage is tucked into a wooded area & feels like you are secluded far away, but yet it is so convenient to town & shopping. Communications with Kimberly are always prompt & she is always willing to offer up anything you may need. I could go on & on about how great this rental is & the hosts are! It is simply perfect for couples. You just can’t go wrong staying here when visiting Rutherford County. Kimberly & Alex, you outdid yourselves once again! Thank you so much for all you did to contribute to the fall family picnic we hosted while there. 🌻🌻🌻 You went above & beyond & we appreciate you so much! We wish you both a wonderful holiday season & enjoy your upcoming trip. Until our next visit…

The best little getaway! First the property is so quaint and tucked away just enough and on top of that the inside of the house is SO cute and clean!! Second, the perfect spot…close to stores and coffee and downtown Forest City plus the perfect winery. We can’t wait to come back!

Great little cabin

Everything about the place was great including the hosts. A hidden little gem out of the way but close to everything. Super clean, almost new and reasonably priced. Kimberly and Alex checked in to see if we needed anything and gave some tips about the area. We would and probably will stay there again.

About the host

Hosted by Kimberly and Alex

Host profile image
We’ve been married for over 10 years and during those years, we’ve traveled to over 20 countries. We’ve backpacked, camped, flown and cruised many of this countries. And after seeing so many beautiful places, we always came home and felt so happy to come back to a beautiful, peaceful place. We feel so happy to see the beauty of our tree covered mountains, waterfalls, rivers and lakes that we decided to build 2 small homes so people could see what we’re so thankful to come back to.
We embarked on this project 2 years ago. With a “home made” blue print, we started building this house ourselves. Just our 4 little hands and the ones of good close friends from time to time. We hope while you stay here and travel around our area, you can also bring back home a new experience... a new discovered beauty like the ones we find everywhere we go.

Why they chose this property

After going to Italy, Spain, Morocco, Mexico and many other beautiful countries, we wanted to bring some of that beauty our way. You will notice this on the beautiful walls in this cottage.
The kitchen is fully equipped with the things you’ll need such as a Keurig, coffee, dinnerware, cookware, toaster, .
After a nice day out, you can enjoy your evening on the porch listening to the birds or inside catching up on your favorite TV show. We provide Cable as well as Netflix. Our queen bed will give you a good night rest to wake up the next day feeling ready for a new adventure.
In the bathroom you’ll find clean towels , hand soap and toiletries.
In case you need to do a wash, we provide a washer and dryer for your convenience.
And for an extra fixture, you’ll have a small room with a utility sink.

If you’re traveling with family or friends and want to stay near each other, but not in the same house, we have 2 separate houses on the same property. Each house has 1 bedroom but there is a sleeper sofa in each living room that will fit 2 more. We’ll really appreciate if you let us know if you’ll be booking for 4 instead of 2, that way we can make sure the whole party will have plenty of towels.

We have a small trail around our house in a wooded area which will be perfect to walk your dogs.

Outside fire pit coming up soon.

What makes this property unique

If hiking, rock climbing, waterfalls, trout fishing or kayaking gets you outside, we are surrounded by free access places. We provide an information sheet with recommended areas.
We are exactly one hour from airports such as Asheville (NC) Charlotte (NC) and Greenville (SC).
