THE SPACE – Accessible & Open! Rare for the region, this thoughtfully designed 1,100 SF cottage features zero-entry access (no stairs) & 3-foot-wide doors, making it a premier choice for guests with mobility needs or families with strollers. An airy, open-concept living area anchored by a cozy gas stove. A culinary haven features a fully equipped kitchen with stainless steel appliances, a bread maker for fresh morning loaves, and a crockpot for post-hike meals.

The master suite features private French doors to back deck and an oversized, wheelchair accessible shower with 4 shower heads for a spa-like experience.
OUTDOOR LIVING & LAKE ACCESS – Truly nature at its most majestic. Breathtaking, year-round panoramic views of the Great Smoky Mountain ranges & the shimmering waters of Lake Santeetlah. You are just 1/2 mile from the USFS boat launch. Bring your own kayaks or visit nearby watercraft rentals to experience one of the most beautiful lakes in the U.S. Finish out the day with some evening magic gathered around the private fire pit for s'mores under some of the darkest, starriest skies in North Carolina (telescope included).

The woods are calling… hikers are close to Joyce Kilmer Memorial Forest, the Appalachian Trail, and many other trailheads. Avid fishermen can surround themselves with world-class fishing on Lake Santeetlah or Fontana Lake and the many local mountain streams. Whitewater rafting and ziplining awaits along the Nantahala River. Mountain biking is also available in Tsala Recreation area and Fontana Village.

Mountain road charm will have you winding along the lake side on a USFS maintained gravel road for a mile before ascending the mountain side to the cottage. There are some inclines and a few tight turns (steepest portion has been paved for ease). If there is any question or concern regarding community roads or specific vehicle clearance, please contact owner prior to booking for additional information.
A STEP BACK INTO APPALACHIAN HISTORY – Experience the authentic heart of the Southern Appalachians in nearby Robbinsville. This isn't just a mountain town; it’s a cultural crossroads where history is woven into the landscape. As you stroll through town, you’ll notice a beautiful nod to the area’s roots: the street signs are written in both English and Cherokee. You can pay your respects at the gravesite of the famous Cherokee leader Chief Junaluska or walk a preserved portion of the historic Trail of Tears. Visit the local courthouse to see the marker commemorating this as the last area to surrender at the end of the Civil War in 1865, a testament to the rugged remoteness that makes this region so peaceful today. If you visit during the summer, don't miss the Stecoah Valley Center festivals (June–August) or the annual Azalea Festival in mid-June. It’s the perfect way to experience local music, crafts, and true Southern hospitality. Whether you’re a history buff or just looking for a quiet place to grab a bite, Robbinsville offers a charming, slow-paced lifestyle that feels worlds away from the hustle of the city.
