Furnished 480 sq ft cottage just a few miles up Wayah Road (National Scenic Byway), bordering US Forest Service land with creek access and sounds. Tucked into mature forest with abundant greenery, mountain air, and the sound of moving water. This is a peaceful, restorative setting just 15 minutes from downtown Franklin.
Recently renovated with high-quality kitchen, bathroom and finishes throughout. High ceilings with ceiling fans. Wrap-around deck that allows you to really embrace the creek and forest. Parking for 2 cars. Fully furnished, Starlink internet, flat-screen TV.
Important to know:
- Toilet is an Incinolet electric incinerating unit. Self-contained and effective, but different from a standard toilet. Property fronts the scenic byway so expect occasional vehicle noise, but nothing obtrusive (cottage has R39 insulation and high quality windows).
- For anyone who wants the simple life done well, this is it - small footprint, quality finishes, and a true Western NC setting that does the rest.
3-month minimum (shorter terms considered at a higher rate)
Tenant pays electric; landlord covers internet (Frontier 1 Gig service)
Dogs of ALL sizes welcome (number of dogs to be discussed)
