Un charmant petit gîte au bord d'un ruisseau, avec une mezzanine

Description
Nestled in the Blueridge mountains, this cozy cottage sits on 3 acres with frontage on Laurel Creek and a smaller babbling creek along the side yard. Minutes from the Virginia Creeper and Appalachian Trail, there is plenty to do if adventure is your goal or, enjoy the comfort and relaxation inside the beautifully decorated cottage with a good book or cook an amazing dinner in the full kitchen.

The Space
Sitting beside a windy mountain road, the cabin was hand-built with many craftsman details by the original owner and lovingly renovated by us with our family and travelers needs in mind. A perfect cottage for couples or small families, the master and guest bedrooms are on the main level and the loft has three built in full beds and a bathroom with clawfoot tub. Quiet but not secluded, the covered wrap around porch is the perfect place to enjoy your morning coffee (drip, French pressed or pour over) while listening to the small mountain stream that boarders the yard. A short walk through the woods to the back of the property leads you to the lively Whitetop Laurel Creek, rated one of the best natural trout streams in the Southeast. (FLY FISHING!) The cottage is NOT child-proof. There are stairs without hand rails, there is a fireplace and a fire pit; there is water around the cottage- all of which require careful supervision of little children by their parents.
If you want to explore, we are minutes from the Virginia Creeper Trail, The Appalachian Trail, Beartree Lake and Trail Town USA, Damascus.
It is our hope you leave our cottage inspired and restored for your next

Neighborhood
Located in the friendly community of Konnarock, the cottage sits beside a windy mountain road that follows Laurel Creek through the mountains.
