Shangri-La in Etowah: a serene + cheerful cottage near Pisgah & DuPont Forests
*Our property was not adversely impacted by Hurricane Helene. You can expect all amenities advertised, including potable water and high-speed internet.*
Escape to a tranquil cottage in the small town of Etowah, nestled among historic downtowns Brevard and Hendersonville, Asheville, and DuPont & Pisgah Forests. The space is a 1-bedroom cottage and provides everything you need, including high-speed internet, a luxurious jet tub, rainfall shower head, full kitchen with updated appliances, laundry, and private porch to enjoy grilling.
Our space is a bright, cheerful, modern and relaxing vibe with everything you could need for a quick getaway or a longer stay. People rave about our fully equipped kitchen, front porch with sliding gate to keep dogs or kiddos secure, and high-speed internet for work or relaxing with your favorite streaming service.
We pride ourselves on our environmentally conscious approach to hosting. We use all natural cleaning products and toiletries. It is our aim to minimize waste and provide recycling and composting facilities on site.
We love our furry guests as much as our human ones! We welcome well behaved pets with a non-refundable fee of $60. We have a large yard and wooded area which guests are welcome to use. We are also happy to provide play dates with our own dogs, Archie and Baxter, or help with pet friendly activity recommendations in the area. We also offer doggy daycare when our availability allows ($15 per hour).
Speaking of furry friends, we are fortunate to be surrounded by an abundance of wildlife on our property. We frequently view white squirrels, deer, hummingbirds and songbirds, chipmunks, opossums and rabbits. We highly recommend relaxing on the front porch with your morning coffee and watching the animals go about their daily business... The squirrels frequently put on an acrobatic show stealing food from the bird feeders!
The cottage is air-conditioned and features a kitchen and space to spread out with a separate bedroom. The bathroom offers a jetted tub and hair dryers. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a coffee maker, and an ironing board. Change of towels is available on request.

Such a charming cottage in the woods! Modern, clean, comfortable. Very private with parking a few steps from the door. Many thoughtful additions to the decor and everything was designed to help us feel at home.

This was our first stay in the Etowah area and we loved the convenience to so many great destinations. The cottage is lovely, comfortable and very well equipped. We were there for a week and had everything needed. The covered porch with its beautiful grassy view and regular deer sightings was a favorite spot to relax. Our hosts were thoughtful, responsive and respectful of privacy. We would definitely love to stay again!
