About this property
Magical secluded hideaway on a French Country Estate with tranquil creek & ponds
Step into your very own storybook escape at the Fairytale Cottage—an enchanting private guesthouse tucked beside a sparkling creek on the sprawling grounds of Woodcreek Estate. This lovingly restored luxury cottage offers peace, privacy, and charm, all within minutes of Cleveland’s downtown district, Lee University, and the natural wonder of the Cherokee National Forest.
Whether you're seeking a romantic getaway, a creative retreat, or a serene stop on your Southern road trip, this hidden gem is sure to steal your heart.
A Storybook Setting
Set beside a gently winding creek and under a canopy of hardwood trees, the cottage is surrounded by fragrant gardens, mossy stone pathways, and the soothing sounds of nature. A TREX deck overlooks the water, offering the perfect place for morning coffee or stargazing at night. The chimney, limewashed to a soft grey, rises above the cedar shake roof, creating a fairytale profile straight out of a European countryside inn.
Inside, you’ll find an interior that blends French provincial elegance with cozy Southern hospitality:
Louis XIV–style sofa and seating nook
French inlaid wood and copper coffee table
Designer lighting and hardwood floors
Custom finishes and artistic touches throughout
Everything has been thoughtfully designed to inspire comfort and creativity.
Fully Equipped Mini-Kitchen
While the cottage is meant for restful relaxation, it’s also equipped with everything you need to feel at home:
Carrera marble countertop
Custom cabinetry and soft-close drawers
Mini refrigerator and induction cooktop
Instant hot water system
Stainless steel sink and modern fixtures
Enjoy a glass of wine on the deck or prep a fresh breakfast to enjoy by the creek.
Luxury Bath Retreat
The newly built bathroom was crafted from the ground up with both form and function in mind:
Marble tile flooring and walls
Oversized rain-style shower with modern glass enclosure
Designer vanity with polished fixtures
Low-flow eco-friendly toilet
Warm, ambient lighting and ventilation
Fluffy towels, premium toiletries, and spa vibes included.

About the host
Hosted by Jillian Corley
We are semi-retired city dwellers who wanted to fulfill their dreams of living in the country. We found the perfect property in the beautiful Laurel Valley of Cleveland, TN, and have spent many hours lovingly upgrading and restoring the acreage and homes to their unique and splendid heritage, with all the modern conveniences. We invite you to come and share in all we have to offer, and enjoy the beauty and solace the Cottage provides. Pictures don't do it justice, you have to experience it to believe it.
What makes this property unique
Staying in the Cottage is like spending the days and starry nights in the middle of the forest, surrounded by beautiful nature and all it entails. The Cottage is set up on a knoll, far away from the manor house, overlooking the ponds in front, and the forest and creek in the back. In order to experience the true magic of nature, the Cottage has many large windows with curtains throughout its entirety. Rest assured, the Cottage is very private, and we guarantee absolute privacy.
