    Mornings on the porch
    Tucked away on a peaceful 2-acre parcel in the heart of Western NC, 97 Archer Drive captures the essence of classic mountain living. This charming 2-bedroom, 2-bath cottage offers the perfect blend of privacy, character, and natural beauty—ideal as a personal retreat or a short-term rental. A gentle creek borders the property, creating a soothing backdrop for mornings on the porch and cool mountain evenings under the stars.
