Enchanted Lakeside Artist’s Cottage - Kayaks, Dock, Fire Pit, Easy Access

Escape to an enchanting lakeside retreat where art, nature, and comfort come together. This spacious yet cozy three-bedroom, three-bath cottage has been thoughtfully curated with works by talented Blue Ridge Mountain artists—many of whom were deeply impacted by Hurricane Helene—creating a stay that is as meaningful as it is beautiful.

Nestled on a gorgeous private lake with easy access and no steep stairs, the cottage captures the magic of the mountains with whimsical touches, rich local character, and stunning water views from sunrise to sunset. Watch ducks, geese, playful otters, and even the occasional beaver right from the shoreline.

Inside, you’ll find a fully stocked kitchen, inviting living spaces, and delightful details around every corner that make you feel instantly at home. Whether you’re gathering with family, enjoying a romantic getaway, or seeking a peaceful escape, every space is designed for comfort, creativity, and connection.

Adventure awaits just outside your door with two kayaks, a large canoe, two paddleboards, and a pedal boat included for exploring the lake at your own pace.

Come experience a place where mountain artistry, lakeside serenity, and a touch of wonder create memories you’ll treasure long after you leave.
