Casey Cottage is sweet & cozy nestled in the woods in a quiet neighborhood not far from Bryson City and Nantahala Gorge. You're close to Fontana Lake, Lil TN River, the Nat'l Park, all the trails & attractions, yet feel miles away from the hustle and bustle of city life with plenty of room to roam. You drive through a lovely farming community with the kind of neighbors you can count on. The cottage has been lovingly maintained with special touches added by the owner to make it a super successful AirBnB. Swain county does not have restrictions on vacation rentals like many making this an excellent opportunity for a new affordable adventure for you that supports itself. The home features multiple spaces to enjoy our great outdoors day or night with an adorable screened porch, covered deck with bubbling hot tub and firepit out under the stars with sounds of a trickling creek below. The wide windows in the living area allow added light & view of the valley below. Very easy access for the mountains with practically flat roads & driveway. Experience the quiet life in a natural setting at this pristine get-a-way, your home away from home or the place to nestle in and stay awhile
