Creekside Charm in a Peaceful Mountain Setting. Escape to tranquility in this utterly charming 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom creekside cottage, perfectly blending vintage character with thoughtful updates. Tucked away in a serene location between Balsam and Sylva, just down the road from the Historic Balsam Mountain Inn, this home offers a true mountain sanctuary.

Enjoy your morning coffee on the freshly painted private porch off the primary suite. The property features an enchanting stone patio complete with a firepit, surrounded by lush flowers and greenery, perfect for outdoor entertaining. A defining feature of this parcel is the gentle stream flowing below, surrounding the lower level of the property and offering the soothing sounds of water-a constant reminder of the calm, peaceful atmosphere. Essential mountain living is provided by shared spring water. Experience the best of Western North Carolina living in this idyllic, character-filled cottage!
