Located in Marble, this welcoming cottage lets you experience it all. Nantahala National Forest is just a short walk away, so you can leave your car at the property, which offers onsite parking, or jump in your vehicle to make short work of the 7-minute drive to Cherokee Heritage Museum and Gallery.

After you return, you can unwind on the patio or sip a drink by the firepit. For a change of scenery, come inside and enjoy the free WiFi and flat-screen TV.

This 2-bedroom, 2-bathroom rental features a BBQ grill, a fireplace, air conditioning, and a ceiling fan. Prepare a home-cooked meal in the kitchen, complete with an oven, a stovetop, and a dishwasher, as well as a coffee maker, a microwave, and cookware. And you won't have to pack extra clothes, because you'll have a washer and dryer, too.
