Our stay at the cottage was amazing with a few things standing out. The cleanliness was outstanding, the shower and tub was wonderful, and the sounds of the beautiful river across the street put us to sleep every night. The property was conveniently located to the neighboring town of Waynesville and a short drive to Maggie and Cherokee. I would definitely recommend this cottage to anyone and wouldn’t think twice about staying here again.

If you are looking for a cozy and comfortable home to visit in the mountains of WNC, look no further! This property is within easy driving distance to Asheville, Waynesville, Maggie Valley, and Cherokee. We visited over the weekend and couldn't believe this little gem. The house is located right beside the river with picturesque surroundings in every direction. Amenities included a very large jacuzzi bathtub and a gas fireplace--which made the home even cozier. The house and property were very well maintained, and we had everything we needed to feel comfortable in our home away from home. As a side note, the house is situated right beside the highway--but don't let that deter you from visiting. There is VERY little traffic on the highway--but when cars did drive by, we couldn't even hear them inside the house. We highly recommend this property and hope to stay there again in the near future!Eddie and Elizabeth West

This was a great space! We really enjoyed the home, it was very cozy and very clean. It’s not super secluded since it is on a main road, but there is direct access to the river which we also really enjoyed. It’s a good mix of being away from civilization (15-20 minutes to town) but also not way deep in the mountains. It was perfect for what we were looking for. Molly was a really great host and added some extra touches that were really special since she knew we were celebrating my birthday. We will definitely be back.

The property was spotless and filled with all of the comforts of home. Excellent property to bring your pets and the host has them in mind as well. The property is set in a beautiful farm setting with views of the river out the front window while you keep warm in the living room with the propane style wood store. Molly is an excellent host with attention to detail. She is very responsive to all your questions and needs. This is probably the best host we have ever came in contact with. If you are in the area ….. don’t miss out on this property.

The M3 cottage was the perfect romantic getaway for my girlfriend and me. The property was super peaceful and quiet, right on the banks of the pigeon river. The property came with everything we needed and was incredibly clean and cozy. Molly and the property owners were always one call away if we needed anything at all. We highly recommend staying at this property, as the location is the perfect distance away from all of the activities in the area, and the property provide a memorable experience.

Nestled on the edge of the river this cottage was a perfect getaway. Sit on the deck and listen to the rippling music of the water and watch the cows and deer in the fields during the day or take in the stars after dark. Inside, everything was spotless and felt new. The bathroom was amazing. Waynesville and everything you could need is just a 15 min drive although there a few smaller stores just mins away. Would stay again without a second thought.

Home away from home

We had a wonderful experience here. Although we never met the hosts, we felt their hospitality met us at the door with a warm welcoming of cookies in the greeting basket! My husband and I talked about that homey touch all evening. This home is decorated very simply, yet beautiful. We found the simplicity to be very practical, and the beautiful, simple touches to be welcoming. The views from the kitchen, living room, and master bedroom were stunning. It was cozy to lay in bed and look out the window to see the river flowing on by. The front porch was a nice spot to have coffee in the morning, and be greeted with the gentle sounds of the river. Our stay was wonderful, and we'd love to visit again sometime! - Jesse & Abigail

Perfect spot for scenic views and relaxing sounds of the river. Close enough to town for shopping and entertainment while still far enough away to be in God’s country.
