Upscale private cottage nestled within quiet & serene woods. Escape to the backyard for a private swim hole in Big Creek river. It doesn’t sound more idyllic than vacationing steps away from the shores of Big Creek. With mountain chic décor and all the comforts and spaciousness of a true home, this mountain retreat is perfectly cozy for a couple or family, and shines as a place to entertain. The Property: suitably named, On the Rocks, is a tranquil cottage situated on 3.9 acres right on Big Creek. You and your family will enjoy panoramic water views from the screened-in porch, have the chance to curl up in Adirondack chairs by the fire pit or spend a relaxing evening unwinding on the large outdoor hammock. This hidden jewel is just 2 hours drive north of Atlanta surrounded by the Nantahala National Forest and situated atop a plateau at an elevation of 4118 feet. The Layout: The configuration of the living quarters at On the Rocks is ideal for two to three pairs to enjoy their personal living spaces. The chef’s kitchen and bar open up to the great room with a wood-burning fireplace. French doors lead you to a peaceful screened-in porch that comfortably seats 10. The main level houses two private suites that share a nice bath. The king suite is situated on the second level and includes a full bath, office, dressing room/nursery, and two walk in closets large enough for a pack-n-play. Enjoy the bright and airiness of the room that is accentuated by the vaulted ceilings. Entertain the night away with a full entertainment suite and additional bedroom that includes a flat screen TV & game table. French doors open up to a second screened porch with a private path leading to Big Creek. The Details: Hardwood floors throughout the property. The kitchen is outfitted with serving dishes, china and stemware. Fresh white linens provided (sheets and towels). Experience the feeling of residing in a luxury Bed and Breakfast with all the comforts of home. The Location: This private cottage is neighboring to three other properties located off Billy Cabin Road.

This was the sweetest home I’ve ever rented from an online site. Well appointed, homey and just perfect. We even made it a point to stay at the house over exploring one day. We had coffee in the porch every morning and the sound of the stream out back was the icing on the cake. Beautiful home. 100% recommend.
