SHOES/BOOTS OFF in the house will keep the inside in top condition. This one is a big help! 4\. We have a very sensitive septic tank. Please only flush toilet paper and, well, people stuff.

It was nice being in close proximity to the small quaint town of Hot Springs! Enjoyed relaxing on the deck and listening to the creek below. The cottage was perfect for our relaxing getaway. We definitely would like to book again in the fall! Thank you! ##### Rhonda L. Stayed 2 nights in Jun 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### michele Apr 25, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities, communication I give this property A Not only was the host (Scott) a wonderfully considerate host but he was truly interested in getting to know us and share his knowledge of the surrounding area. The "Mushroom Cottage" sits right above a tributary of the French Broad River and it was awesome listening to the sounds of the river while on the deck. The property could not have been furnished any better. We lacked nothing. Cannot wait to return!
