Cozy Mountaintop Cottage: Excellent Wi-fi, Beautiful Views, & New Stone Fire Pit
Mountaintop Memories Cottage
You are invited to come and stay at our little cozy cottage in the mountains. Make an escape from the chaos and travel the long winding well maintained driveway up the mountain surrounded by private property and US Forest land. Since our driveway is gravel and steep, we recommend that you drive a 4X4 or a vehicle with good traction. No low to the ground vehicles or motorcycles!! You will see that it was worth the drive upon arrival at your secluded and peaceful retreat where wonderful memories are waiting to be made!!
Walk up on the porch that wraps around three sides of the cottage. Grab a cup of coffee, sit on the porch awhile, and enjoy the views of Rabun Bald and Alex Mountain. Chances are you will hear the gobble of a turkey, the hoot of an owl, or the sweet call of a dove. Enter Mountaintop Memories Cottage with a keyless entry. This cottage offers 2 BR, 1 BA, a full kitchen, dining and living area, and laundry room with washer and dryer. The living area is open to the dining and kitchen with plenty of seating for lounging, eating, or playing a game. We have a good variety of books, games, and puzzles to enjoy!! Watch a movie or your favorite show on the 50" Roku TV that is visible from the entire living area. A bonus for our mountain location is that we offer Starlink Wi-fi to keep you connected with your devices. The kitchen is stocked with all appliances as well as a k-cup Keurig coffee pot, tea kettle, waffle maker, air fryer, cookware, serving dishes, cooking and eating utensils, and items for the outdoor gas grill located on the side of the cottage under the covered porch. We have included a beverage bar with a variety of coffee k-cups, flavor syrups and creamers, various teas, honey/sweeteners, and cold beverages in the refrigerator. Also provided are olive oil, salt, pepper, and various spices that you might forget to bring. Dish washer tablets, dish soap, hand soap, all-purpose cleaner, aluminum foil, clear wrap, and ziplock bags are provided for your convenience. Down the hallway, the main bedroom is located with a queen bed and a Roku TV. Located directly across the hall from the main bedroom is the second bedroom that includes a twin bed. Unfortunately, the cottage only comfortably sleeps 3 people. If you are traveling with additional children, there is room for a queen air mattress in the living room. Contact me if you have questions or need additional linens, I will be more than happy to accommodate you. Bed linens, extra blankets, and towels are provided along with complimentary soap, shampoo, paper products, and laundry supplies are all included with your stay.
Enjoy the cool evenings at the brand new stone fire pit area sitting in vintage outdoor furniture. You will get to enjoy the crisp mountain air, the smell of the fire, the sound of the katydids, and the feeling of peace and pure relaxation!!! Firewood will be provided for you under the covered shed in the dry. All you need is your S'more ingredients!! Located next to the fire pit area is a horseshoe pit ready for some friendly competition!!

About the host
Hosted by Charles and Crystal Billingsley

My husband, Chuck, was born and raised right here in Western NC mountains. I was born and raised a few miles south in the Northeast GA mountains. We met in a small country church just a few miles from the cottage. We married in 2005. We feel very blessed to live here and raise our two teenagers. In 2024, we decided to share our cottage to others so they can enjoy our mountain and escape from the busyness and chaos of everyday life.
Why they chose this property
In our area of the mountains, we can truly say it is home. The place where we feel at peace. The place where we breathe a sigh of relief when we begin the drive up the mountain to our home. We love to travel and see other places, but there is nothing like seeing the mountains in the distance and knowing we are almost home. We enjoy smelling the crisp mountain air, slowing down, hiking to a waterfall, photographing the foliage and wildlife, and eating fresh off the land, out of the garden, and nearby farmers markets.
What makes this property unique
Our cottage is, as described, on the top of the mountain. Close proximity to town but tucked away in the woods with a magnificent view of the neighboring mountains and the valley!! We take pride in offering the best of what we have. We use natural cleaning products, free from chemicals and artificial scents. I personally clean the cottage from top to bottom after every guest. I want you to feel like you are walking in to a new home prepared just for you!! Whether you plan on exploring our area, staying in on the property, or a bit of both we have tried to think of every detail to make sure you have a wonderful stay!! Our goal is for you to be able to create unforgettable memories that will be cherished for a lifetime!!
