This cottage had everything we needed! We accidentally overlooked that it was attached to another occupied unit when we booked it (we prefer to stay at places without nearby neighbors) but nonetheless had complete privacy and didn't hear the neighbors at all during our 3 night stay. The cottage is kept very clean, tidy, and we greatly appreciated that it was equipped with household essentials such as paper towels, toilet paper, dish soap, hand soap, as well as linens and towels. It also has a tv with streaming apps (with a rocking chair, futon and blankets for comfort!), games, puzzles, and a covered porch entrance with outside furniture to enjoy the crisp mountain air. It is very conveniently located off a main, flat road (you can hear traffic on that road but it was not heavy at all during the night) and above all, it is just minutes away from several of the Dupont State Forest parking/access points! We knew that it is also close to Pisgah but we only visited Dupont (three times!) during our stay because we like that it is a smaller landmark, although big enough with numerous waterfalls, mountaintops, and hiking, biking, and equestrian trails that make up a total of over 80 miles. We found a local restaurant called Corky's Dawgs (under 10 miles away) that we enjoyed so much, we had to eat there twice. The owners of the cottage were extremely responsive before and during our stay, providing helpful tips on nearby points of interest. They even left us a very sweet note and gift because they knew we were celebrating our anniversary :) we highly recommend this cottage! Thank you Kim and Jerri!
