Creekside Fairytale Cottage-Hot Tub-Cozy Fireplace

Situated on the banks of Spring Creek in the charming mountain town of Hot Springs, NC, The Stone Cottage is a beautifully crafted post-and-beam retreat featuring natural stone and cedar shake details. Designed as a peaceful escape for couples, this creekfront cottage blends comfort, privacy, and natural beauty in every season.

The Stone Cottage sleeps two and features a spacious loft bedroom with a king-size bed. The open-concept main level includes a cozy living area, small dining space, and a fully equipped custom kitchen with everything needed for preparing meals at home. A gas fireplace anchors the living space, providing warmth and ambiance during cooler months. The downstairs bathroom features custom tilework, and during warmer seasons guests can enjoy the enclosed outdoor shower for a refreshing, spa-like experience.

Step outside onto the large wraparound deck, which spans two sides of the cottage and offers the perfect place to relax, listen to the rushing creek, and observe local wildlife. The private jacuzzi tub sits right on the deck with unobstructed views of Spring Creek below. Steps lead down to the creek bank for exploring, though accessibility may vary depending on water levels.

During warmer months, guests have access to one of the best swimming holes in the area located directly below the cottage, and Spring Creek is also well known for fishing. The swimming hole and creek bank are shared with the neighboring Creek House.

The Stone Cottage is ideally located just a five-minute walk from downtown Hot Springs and the Appalachian Trail, offering easy access to hiking, river activities, local dining, shops, and sightseeing throughout Western North Carolina.

All linens, standard supplies, and paper products are provided. Updated fiber-optic Wi-Fi is included. The Stone Cottage is professionally managed by the local hosting team at Hot Springs Getaway, ensuring attentive care and a seamless stay.

The cottage was wonderful. The sound of the creek just melted away any stress. The hot tub was wonderful as well as was the quiet setting and location. We enjoyed the small town of Hot Springs and everything it offered. We will definitely be back in the future.

45th Anniversary in this lovely cottage

The cottage was as good or better than the pictures on Vrbo, and we had a delightful time. No electronic "babbling brook" generator could match the sound of Spring Creek just outside the door. Proximity to town and hiking were both great. Perfect weather helped, but had it rained we could have just stayed indoors and enjoyed ourselves just as much. Can't thank you enough, Karen!!

Sweet memories at the Stone Cottage

From the very start, everything about the Stone Cottage exceeded our expectations. The creekside location, the ambience of the house itself. We were continually impressed by the thoughtful details of the Cottage and its decor. We had everything we needed, linens, paper products, seasonings, a fully equipped kitchen. Even a first aid kit! This is by far the cutest and well equipped vacation property we have ever rented. We would love to return. We made great memories at the Stone Cottage! Loved the guest book rock pile too ❤️

Beautiful cabin

We had a great stay. Beautiful cabin! Loved the hot tub! We were surprised to have wifi but no tv. We aren't big tv watchers, but it was too cold especially in the evening to be outside unless getting in hot tub for a bit. In warm weather where outside time is great im sure that works, but in cool/cold weather would be nice to be able to watch tv in evening/night. Everything else was great!

Little Bit of Heaven

Wow- just an incredible stay. The cabin was spectacular and spotless. The creek beside us provided incredible sounds for resting. The weather was cool and the hot tub "Hot" which made for wonderful evenings. Fantastic internet and the location was just a step away from town however you felt secluded from the nearby residences. The post and beam home had wonderful decor and just the attention to details was incredible. We highly recommend for a romantic getaway or just resting from the Appalachian Trail hikes. We cannot say enough about this property. Great Owners and Communication.

June in the mountains

Arriving during a heat wave we thought there might be thunderstorms. Fortunately, the rain (which was badly needed in the area) held off until the late eveing on our departure day. Relaxing by the stream makes it diificult to take advantage of the many hiking trails in the area, but we always get in some excursions. Returning for a nice hottub before bed takes away any aches. I'm certain we'll be back soon.
