Our family's place in the woods
A Mountain Home, Shared With Care.
Tucked among the trees in Sapphire Valley, The Woodland Cottage is our family's mountain home, and a place we're grateful to share.
We believe the best days in the mountains are often the simplest. Coffee on the deck as the woods come alive. An afternoon exploring Cashiers. A good meal, a warm fire, and a quiet evening with the people you love.

A look around
See the whole cottage
The cottage
Make Yourself at Home.
Comfortable for a family, cozy for a couple, and full of character in every corner.
The great room
A vaulted wood ceiling, a stone fireplace, and tall windows that keep the forest in view from every chair.
A kitchen for real meals
Butcher-block counters and everything you need for a slow breakfast or a proper dinner after a day outdoors.
Two bedrooms, two baths
A king room with a brass bed and a queen room with an iron bed, each a quiet place to rest.
The loft under the eaves
Two more beds, a wall of books, and a rocking chair beneath the steep rooflines.
Two fires
A gas firepit on the deck and a stone firepit down among the trees, with chairs gathered around both.
The turret
You'll know the cottage by its cedar-shingled turret. Inside, a bronze stag lamp, a writing desk, and plenty of woodland touches.
Life in the mountains
Around These Parts.
Sapphire Valley sits on the Cashiers and Highlands plateau, in the part of Western North Carolina people call the Land of Waterfalls.
Mornings are for a trail or a waterfall. Afternoons are for the shops and porches in Cashiers. Evenings bring you back to the fire.

Silver Run Falls
The closest falls to the cottage. A short, easy walk to a pretty cascade and swimming hole off Highway 107.
Fly fishing
Cold mountain streams and a fly shop in town for gear, advice, and guided trips.
Two small towns
Antiques, outfitters, coffee, and long lunches on the porch. Both are an easy drive from the cottage.
“In every walk with nature one receives far more than he seeks.”
