About this cottage rental
512' square shed converted to very cozy mountain bunkhouse style cottage with an open floorplan except for the bathroom. There's a large screened porch (32' x 8'), and a smaller deck with charcoal grill and fire pit. Still a work in progress. Secluded in the woods but very close to several state parks with fishing, lakes, rivers, waterfalls, scenic overlooks, canoeing & kayaking, and hiking areas. Very woodsy and peaceful.
Be sure to bring your groceries with you. There is a Dollar General about 3 miles away with some food items, and a very nice Ingle's about 12 miles north on Hwy. 11.
If you bring a pet it is required that you text me a picture of your baby(ies) inside the cottage. There is a mandatory $20 pet fee, and an additional $20 will be charged to your account if any "accidents" are left inside, or on the porch and deck. Yes, people have done that.
There is no mandatory cleaning fee, but guests are encouraged to leave a tip for the cleaning staff, especially if you stay multiple nights, or are extra messy. 😀
Note: The ceilings in the living areas are low and under the lofts in the shed. If you're tall, it may feel a little cramped.

First off, I did give our host the heads up that we had had some issues regarding the property. In response I got a single sentence reply without any sort of apology. On to the review.
Pros
- Great location, very quiet and peaceful
- the cabin was well stocked in terms of things you may need during your stay.
- very well prepared for pets.
Cons:
- The cabin was NOT clean. The toilet was filthy when we arrived, there was what looked like fecal matter smeared on the walls and outside of the toilet and mold in several corners. Dishes had been put away dirty, cobwebs were everywhere, and the best part - the bedsheets were absolutely covered in fur.
There were no spare bed linens, and the extra blankets smelled extremely strongly of dog. In fairness to the host, we arrived late and were busy the next day so I didn’t remember to ask about new sheets. That’s on me. However, the bed was very clearly made when we arrived, so someone had to have looked at the sheets.
Overall, our stay was ok. The cabin is laid out comfortably and well stocked, but the cleanliness left quite a bit to be desired.

The cottage was exactly what we needed for our stay near Table Rock State Park. It is clean and comfortable with many thoughtful touches to make us feel welcome. We will stay there again when we are back in the area.

We only stayed 1 night, after a long day of hiking. It was perfect for our purposes. If you’re traveling from here back to Greenville, I can recommend getting breakfast at the TRee House Cafe!

I chose this property for location close to Travelers. Rest, the pretty place chapel, and hiking at Table Rock. We ended up, enjoying all three easily from the property. The home was clean and comfortable and It looked brand new although in reading the guestbook, it has hosted many other travelers. The host was a joy to work with and booking was easy. We highly recommend this home for any visit to the mountains.

Gnome Hill Cottage looked exactly like the photos. The place is quiet. Recommend not driving there at night as the roads are dirt/gravel and there are very few lights. Recommended.

We enjoyed our stay at the gnome cabin in the woods. Everything was perfect. Spotlessly clean. Everything you could possibly want was there for your use. Loved the screened in back porch and the nature that surrounded the cabin. Table rock park is just down the road. Many hiking trails. We will be back again. Thank you for sharing your cabin with us!

Very nice and clean property. Perfect for quick getaway. This property was located between some of the most beautiful state parks and views. Road and driveway is very rough! I would recommend not driving a vehicle with low ground clearance. We truly enjoyed our stay!

One bedroom is a little misleading because there’s just a three foot wall separating it from the lkitchen area

We chose this cabin due to its close proximity to the Asbury Hills Retreat Center where our daughter attended summer camp. It was nice to have clean, comfy accommodations after 425 miles of driving. Ms. Charlotte was great and helped with directions over the phone. We would have loved to have stayed a little longer!

Great little place to stay. Very close to Table Rock State Park.
There were tons of carpenter ants, and two scorpions were in the kitchen. I realize it is in the woods, so not totally unexpected, but the scorpions freaked me out a bit.
The property was very clean, but I only reduced the rating because of all the ants (dead and alive) and scorpions.
Very responsive host.
Hard to find. The directions were a bit confusing. I had to drive around a bit to find the place.
It was quiet and peaceful.
