Sherwood Cottage
Sherwood Cottage - Off the Blue Ridge Parkway, NC
Sherwood Cottage is a beautiful, authentic, log cabin rental located 7 miles off the Blue Ridge Parkway between Boone NC and Blowing Rock NC. Imagine relaxing in the overstuffed wicker chairs on the screened-in porch and looking onto a commanding 180-degree view with both short and long-range vistas that are visible from almost every room in the house. After a rain, this is one place you can see why it is called the Smoky Mountains.
A south facing house, Sherwood has stunning sunrises and sunsets but also offers a night-time view that is without parallel. The night sky, without light pollution, is magnificent and the hot tub on the outside deck is just right for laying back and viewing it. When the moon is full there is a perfect view all of the night. It is one of the most romantic and peaceful scenes around.
Comfort and casual elegance would describe the décor of this house with goose down comforters and hand-made quilts, custom draperies, and oversize chairs to cuddle up with a good book. The house has 2 bedrooms and 1 bath, with a large open living area. In the winter, the gas fire offers a cozy ambiance that reflects off the all pine wood interior. Both bedrooms are cozy and comfortable: the master bedroom includes a new country pine queen-size bed complemented by an antique dresser while the second bedroom features antique twin beds in a very simple and uncluttered ambiance. Period lighting imported from England adds to the uniqueness of the home. We also have an extensive video library there for watching a good movie.
In the summer there is a beautiful flower garden to stroll through and trails close by with water-falls and even some good caves if you can climb. There are even two bicycles available for your use. Basically, this house is unique in that it offers an experience that will not soon be forgotten and cannot be obtained in too many places anymore. It is for relaxing and communing with nature and finding your own secret hiding place just as you had when you were a kid. Broker Interest.
Please remember 4WD or chains are always recommended when visiting the mountains in winter.
