Very clean little cabin. Beautiful area. The cabin is coming on the small side, but that’s OK with us. It was all we needed. It is close to all the mountain towns that we went and visited.

Comfortable cottage

Checkin was easy, the space was as described and photographed, and conveniently located. Lots of thoughtful details throughout the Catamount Cottage made it a comfortable place to spend multiple nights.

Small but delightful accommodations right on the edge of WCU campus. Easy to walk, drive or bike to campus activities. TV with Netflix and Alexa music included. Plan to book additional stays here.

We had the best time at this cute cottage on a visit to visit our son who attends WCU. The cottage was way more than we anticipated and we will definitely be back.

Convenient and Perfect

The unit is really clean and the proximity to campus is second to none! Perfect stay for moving a student in or out, attending an event at Western Carolina, or just a quiet get-a-way! Very happy to have found this hidden gem!

Wonderful cottage close to WCU!

We stayed here for move-in weekend. It was perfect for the two of us. Awesome use of the space and decorated nicely. Conveniently located very close to campus. Great communication with the owner as well. We hope to stay here again during our next visit!

Conveniently located near Western Carolina University, the Smoky Mountains, Cherokee and Maggie Valley, this place is wonderfully decorated and has everything needed for a quiet weekend stay. Excellent appliances, cooking tools and tableware along with fresh plush towels, comfortable bed linens make this a home away from home. The bath is small but doable even for a big person like me. The local cats are friendly but not intrusive. The deck provides a beautiful view of the mountains through the trees. There is minimal road noise. There are stairs so be prepared for that. I would definitely recommend.

Charming In Every Way

Absolutely adorable, spotless, beautifully decorated small studio. My regret is not staying longer. Virtually adjacent to the CWU campus but secluded and remote enough that you will feel far away. Highly recommended. I will definitely stay here again.

Birthday trip

I booked so I could celebrate my son’s twentieth birthday with him. He’s a sophomore at WCU. I loved the property. It was beautiful and quaint. And I especially loved being so close to the campus. Thanks for a wonderful time.

This little cottage was prefect and so close to campus. If my daughter continues her pursuits, it will not be my last time renting this cottage.
