This cottage is secluded yet very convenient. It's only minutes to the Nantahala River or the Tsali mountain biking trails. Riders will love the level road. Although some gravel, it is well maintained and experienced motorcyclists should not have issues. Boaters will love the proximity to Almond Boat Park to get out on Fontana Lake
UPDATES: May 2022: new carpet throughout, new kitchen appliances, new cookware, new Adirondack firepit chairs

There is a hall bath on this floor, too, which has been newly renovated Jan 2020. The closed bedroom has two twin beds that can be configured as a king bed (advance notice required) plus a set of built-in twin bunk beds.
The open loft area is what is counted as a third bedroom and has a queen bed plus a queen futon. There is a satellite TV in this room.
free DSL is provided, but mountain service can be a little slower than you are used to. Still, it is convient and free, and should be fine for casual browsing.
