You'll have the entire cabin to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Little Gray Cottage Secluded

Charming cottage tucked into the edge of the woods with easy access to state paved road. This is all you'll need for a quick trip or weekend to the mountains.

The kitchen has a full-size fridge, microwave, hot plate and coffee maker. If you're serious about cooking there's a full propane grill on the screened porch overlooking the stream. No oven in home.

Perfect for two for a weekend get-a-way. Not good for kids or longer stays. A week works or less for us.

Great location and many really nice amenities included that were thoughtful and very welcoming. Creek sounds were relaxing and added to the ambience. Bed was very comfortable. The screened porch was surprisingly large for the size of the cottage. We hope to return. Great hiking and waterfalls and vistas so close to the cottage. We really enjoyed our stay

Charming and relaxing

My husband and I had a relaxing and refreshing stay at the little gray cottage! The stream was peaceful and the location was quiet, yet located close enough to amenities like the grocery store for convenience. April was a very helpful host! We will definitely stay again!

Little Gray Cottage was delightful

Exceeded our expectations. The place was spotlessly clean and everything functioned well. For a small place it seemed unusually spacious. The sound of the creek was so soothing. We will stay there again without hesitation.
