Tiny Home Mountain Adventure+HotTub+Fire Pit+Grill

We can't adequately describe how peaceful it is to sit at the picnic table & listen to the wind through the trees or the birds serenade as the sky turns pink & purple over the Smoky Mountains. We purposely tucked our adorable Tiny Home into the woods to achieve the peaceful retreat you're looking for. You'll feel like the "Little Red Riding Hood" skipping through the woods as you escape the "Big Bad Wolf" of technology and stress. Evenings around the Firepit w/the stars are simply magical!

Otter Creek School Farm

Enjoy our 50-acre paradise in the Nantahala Forest. The cottage, a modular home, overlooks our horse pastures and Otter Creek. Enjoy 4 miles of forested trails, 3,000 feet along Otter Creek, a historic barn, wildlife, and native plants. The rhythm is set by the horses, the flow of the creek and the ever-changing view of nature around you. We're near mountain and river adventures, and 20 - 45 minutes from tourist towns. We are not a fancy mountain cabin but you'll be amazed by the destination.
