Honeysuckle Holler - Peaceful Creekside Getaway - Fenced Yard & More

Escape to a peaceful creekside cottage in Bakersville, just minutes from Burnsville, Spruce Pine, Roan Mountain, and the breathtaking beauty of the Blue Ridge Parkway.

Tucked away on a quiet dead-end road, this comfortable mountain retreat offers the perfect balance of privacy and convenience. Enjoy your morning coffee on the front porch while listening to the creek. Watch for rabbits in the yard, birds in the trees, and deer grazing on the hill across from the house. Sit quietly for a few minutes and you're likely to meet our resident hummingbird, who is fully convinced the feeder was installed just for him and visits often.

Spend evenings around the fire pit listening to the creek babble and the cicadas. Enjoy the absolutely insane display of stars from the yard, or spend a quiet hour beneath the broad sycamore with a good book or a glass of wine.

Guests also enjoy access to a neighboring catch-and-release fishing pond with a fenced pond area, open grassy spaces, and a basketball court. Whether you'd like to cast a line, soak up the sunshine, enjoy a picnic by the water, or let the dogs run off leash, there's plenty of room to spread out and enjoy the outdoors.

In season, help yourself to elderberries, raspberries, blackberries, and tomatoes from the garden.

The home sleeps up to six with a queen bedroom, a kids’ room with two convertible futons that open into one massive bed the littles absolutely love, and a separate game room with a custom chess table, assorted games, a desk, and high-speed internet.

The open-concept kitchen, dining, and living areas create a welcoming gathering space, while thoughtful touches throughout include hardwood floors, in-unit laundry, a large mudroom, and plenty of storage. The bathroom features an antique cast iron clawfoot tub for a deep soak that actually stays hot, along with a rainfall shower head.

The cottage is equipped with two mini-split systems for year-round comfort, a propane fireplace for cozy winter evenings, high-speed internet, and a 50-inch smart TV for streaming your favorite shows after a day of exploring.

Whether you're hiking the balds of Roan Mountain, exploring the charming mountain towns nearby, driving the scenic overlooks of the Blue Ridge Parkway, or simply seeking a quiet place to unwind, this creekside cottage offers a comfortable home base for your stay.

Dog-friendly with a fenced yard and room to run. No cats due to owner allergies.
