Blueberry Cottage
Step back in time with huge plank floors, fireplace and wood stove,
old-timey quilts, and rockers on the wrap-around porch for enjoying
the clear starry nights or views of the highest mountains east of the
Rockies.
     
The 80-year old cottage is completely renovated with all new
appliances, full kitchen, and all linens (sleeps up to 8). There are 2
bedrooms: one with a double bed, single bed, and sleeping loft; the
other with a queen size bed with views of the mountains on two sides.
A queen size sofa bed is in the living room next to the fireplace. There
is one large bathroom with a glass-brick walled shower. There are 2
cable TVs, a VCR, and a DVD player. The furniture is comfortable
"antiques" from a neat store in Burnsville called New to You.

On the 2-acre lawn under big trees there is a volleyball/badminton net,
horseshoes, a hammock, picnic table, swing, and chairs for just
staring into space.

A trail from the cottage leads down through the woods and wild
flowers to our pond, with Frog Branch continuing on to the river. At
the pond there are benches, a rock fire ring, picnic tables, and a dock
with a paddleboat at the deep end (13 ft.). The pond hosts many frogs
and fireflies, and the dragonflies are so numerous we have them as a
motif on the soaps.

The wild and scenic protected South Toe River is popular for fishing,
swimming, and canoeing/kayaking; inner tubes for floating come with
the cottage. The valley is also very popular for hiking, waterfalls, and
mountain-biking. Studios of glass-blowers, potters, and weavers are
nearby plus many galleries in both Yancey and Mitchell Counties.
