Nestled in Flat Rock, this lovely cottage for $150 per night is a fantastic option for your next vacation. A perfect spot for families and outdoorsy folks! The toughest decision you’ll make will be which of two large decks to lounge, listening to the birds and relaxing after an active (or chilled out!) day. Paintings, stained glass, woodworkings, tapestries and other work from 15 local artists are the heart and soul of our sanctuary. Enjoy the fireplace as you plan your next hike in Dupont State Forest (just 12 minutes away), Pisgah National Forest, or nearby Carl Sandburg House. The Park at Flat Rock is also 10 minutes away, as are Flat Rock restaurants like the Village Bakery and Campfire Grill. You will have the whole property to yourself during the visit. You have access to all areas of this lot, including more than 600sf of outdoor decks, half of that area covered.
