Tucked into the woods just above the South Fork of the New River, this adorable cottage feels worlds away from the noise of everyday life. Surrounded by trees and birdsong, it’s a perfect escape for anyone craving solitude, creativity and a slower pace. It’s the kind of place where mornings start slow, evenings end by the fire, and the woods provide the soundtrack. Inside, you’ll find a thoughtfully designed layout with a functional kitchen, a comfortable living room and an additional seating area perfect for reading, puzzles or watching the light change through the trees. The cozy main bedroom sits next to the full bath, and a loft above offers flexible space for sleeping, yoga, meditation, or creative work. The perfect artist's retreat. A deck and fire pit extend the living space outdoors, creating the perfect backdrop for slow evenings and star-filled nights. A great added value is the basement level with a full bathroom. It offers excellent potential to be finished out, creating additional living space or be converted into an artist's studio space. Affordable and full of charm, this cottage is a true mountain escape for those seeking simplicity, solitude and a place to recharge. Located in the Crumpler community, just 20 minutes from West Jefferson and 15 to Mouth of Wilson. Short term rentals are permitted.
