Gnome Hill Cottage - A Rustic Pet-Friendly Cottage In The Woods

512' square shed converted to very cozy mountain bunkhouse style cottage with an open floorplan except for the bathroom. There's a large screened porch (32' x 8'), and a smaller deck with charcoal grill and fire pit. Still a work in progress. Secluded in the woods but very close to several state parks with fishing, lakes, rivers, waterfalls, scenic overlooks, canoeing & kayaking, and hiking areas. Very woodsy and peaceful.

Be sure to bring your groceries with you. There is a Dollar General about 3 miles away with some food items, and a very nice Ingle's about 12 miles north on Hwy. 11.

If you bring a pet it is required that you text me a picture of your baby(ies) inside the cottage. There is a mandatory $20 pet fee, and an additional $20 will be charged to your account if any "accidents" are left inside, or on the porch and deck. Yes, people have done that.

Please note - This is pet-friendly cottage, and most of our guests bring their dogs to visit. We diligently clean between each guest and try to make sure all surfaces are clean of pet hair. Sometimes, we may fall short. If any kind of pet hair is a problem for you and not to your liking, this may not be the cottage for you.

There is no mandatory cleaning fee, but guests are encouraged to leave a tip for the cleaning staff, especially if you stay multiple nights, or are extra messy.

Note: The ceilings in the living areas are low and under the lofts in the shed. If you're tall, it may feel a little cramped.

Cosmetic updates are being done so there is a bit of clutter at one end of the screened porch. All of the amenities are good, though. Thank you for your understanding.

If you need sleeping space for more than 2, please check out our other rental on the same property, Rose's Cabin. It sleeps 4, and has a fenced in area for dogs.

Great property -- quiet, clean, comfortable, and so well designed. Lots of little touches to make this home more comfortable and practical. It's really amazing what a nice job they did with this "shed". Felt just like a cabin. Host was extremely communicative and helpful. Caution: the gravel road and driveway are rough; be sure to come in a vehicle that can handle it. Very close to Table Rock State Park, which we highly recommend - especially the Carrick Creek trail. Don't hesitate, book this place!

THE CUTEST cabin! Perfect for a couples getaway or with a friend. The property manager was great at communicating. She lives on the property, but you aren’t really on top of each other. It’s super private with lots of woods around. The place was clean, everything worked, and it appeared to be well maintained on the inside. The nonstick cookware really sold me! Y’all know how some of these VRBOs got the worst cookware. Ha! Anyways, my pups had a great time as well. It’s very secluded and the grocery store is about 20 mins away. Super happy with our stay & experience.

Small quiet cabin in the woods. Owner communication was excellent. There were no issues. We would have liked a real oven, but there was a toaster oven and a countertop induction cooktop that worked just fine.
