Description of the Little Switzerland vacation cottage rental
Whispering Creek Cottage located in historic Little Switzerland is just off the Blue Ridge Parkway with easy access to Asheville & Blowing Rock. A gently winding mountain road will guide your ascent to this adorable 1915 cottage.
Whispering Creek Cottage owned by two artists; who have added their own decorative flair to each room. This cozy (1200 sq. ft) two bedroom, one bath cottage has a large full kitchen/dining area, nice sized living room and sleeps four adults comfortably. You will love the heart-of-pine floors, the sound of rain on the tin roof, fireplaces in each bedroom, large wrap-around porch and original artwork throughout.
Whether sitting on the front porch or napping in the hammock you will be lulled by the babbling creek, which runs along side the cottage. The kids will have a grand time playing in the creek and with any luck will see a salamander or a crawfish hiding beneath the rocks. Summer nights bring promises of starlit skies, catching fire flies and roasting marshmallows in our outdoor fire pit.
The small towns of Marion at the bottom of the mountain and Spruce Pines on the other side of the Blue Ridge Parkway offer plenty of choices for grocery shopping or grabbing a bite to eat.
So whether spending your days relaxing at the cottage or enjoying a day of adventure in nature ... your stay at Whispering Creek Cottage will be one that you will long remember.

Peaceful, quiet retreat
August 17, 2012
Great little place nestled in the woods with an awesome little creek babbling. Good place to escape. It has everrthing you need.

Repeat visitor
September 8, 2010
This is our second year in a row visiting the cottage in September to celebrate our wedding anniversary. It is so rustic and sweet yet has everything there that you might need - games, movies, a hammock with pillows out on the porch, spices for cooking, extra candles. We also loved walking over the hill to the firepit and sitting near the stream as the sun sets. Both times all the cool knick-knacks in the house have inspired us to do our own shopping for cool local finds and antiques to give our own home a bit of that cottage feel. The location is great. Our favorite is the Little Switzerland Cafe and used book store, and it's so close to Asheville, Linville Gorge, and Mount Mitchell. I'm sure we'll be back.

Cozy & Comfort
August 25, 2009
We used the cottage during a construction delay and meetings that we encountered while in NC. It was the best experience ever! At the end of the day, there was a cozy & comfy home awaiting. A full kitchen to avoid eating out, a full bath to enjoy a relaxing shower and a nice comfy bedroom to fall asleep while you listen to the whispering sounds of a creek. Or you can enjoy the outdoors while roasting marshmallows over a fire pit. This was home away from home! Thank you Brenda for a wonderful stay! We truly enjoyed it.

A slice of paradise in Little Switzerland
July 16, 2008
If you want to get away from the hustle and bustle of every day life, fish for crawfish in the river and sit by a campfire at night toasting marshmellows then this is the place for you and your family. All modern amenities and plenty to do locally for all ages.
Owner Supplied Testimonials
The cottage is cozy, convenient, and very well-appointed. It is a great blend of history and modern conveniences with an artistic flair! The Barbour's, SEPT 2012
Perfect spot to get away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life and to find peace and solitude. Very relaxing and quiet and with easy access to the Blue Ridge Parkway for exploring and day trips.
The Thomas Family, September 2012
We had a wonderful visit at the Whispering Creek Cottage. We loved hanging out on the front porch with our 2 little girls. We had fun by the creek and roasting marshmallows each night at the fire pit. We can't wait to come back!
The Mann Family, August 2012
What a wonderful weekend getaway in a charming mountain cabin! We hope to stay here again on our next trip to Little Switzerland! We thoroughly enjoyed the sound of the creek outside of the bedroom window, swinging in the hammock, watching the cars navigate the winding road, and the cabin's quiet yet convenient location.
Kristin, June 2012
We very much enjoyed our stay at the cottage. The house was plenty big for a family of four, especially the kitchen, which was very well supplied. We loved the art and decor, very charming. We will have to come back sometime to enjoy our drinks on the porch to the sound of the creek!
The Flamers, May 2012
If you want to find a wonderful cozy retreat this early 1900s home has been upgraded very tastefully with modern conveniences, while maintaining the charm of its rustic roots. The owners have done a masterful job providing everything you could need. I can testify to that as I rented for the entire season of 2011. I really enjoyed my stay and will never forget the soothing sound of the creek beside the cabin. Other than not being able to stay longer my only regret was the Jacuzzi tub was not operational while I was there. Anyone considering this cabin will enjoy the wonderful atmosphere at the cabin and the surrounding community.
Kris from Tallahassee, FL 2011
My husband and I needed a quick and close get-away from our home to relax and be restored from our busy lives. Whispering Cottage offered just what we needed... quiet and peaceful rest! We LOVED the decor and wonderful front porch. Each morning we woke to the singing of the creek just outside our bedroom window. We WILL return! Wimmers from Charlotte, N.C. 2008
Whispering Creek Cottage is a piece of heaven in the Appalachian mountains. We enjoyed fishing in the creek for crayfish and then eating our rewards for lunch. At night we sat by the campfire toasting marshmallows. The cottage is equipped with all modern conveniences and plenty of games and reading material for everyone. It's a family friendly place with plenty to do at and around the cottage. Forget about cell phones and the TV, there's no time for either just plenty of time for family fun. Make sure you read the local guide set out by the owners, we especially loved the horse riding which we would have never found by ourselves.
Pringle Family, July 2008
I want to let you know how much I enjoyed my stay at your cottage in Little Switzerland, NC. I do not know when the cottage was built but it was most charming and comfortable. The location near the Blue Ridge Parkway was perfect and we were within an hour of many attractions such as the Biltmore Estate in Asheville and Grand Father Mountain in Linville. Your cottage was a delight for relaxing and sightseeing. I look forward to coming back again.
Irwin Baron, August 2007
Thank you so much for sharing your cozy cottage with our family. It was such a comfort to have this beautiful home to come back to after a full day of exploring North Carolina. The kids loved spending the mornings looking for salamanders and crawfish in the creek and picking wild raspberries to top their cereal for breakfast. I loved the large front porch, sitting there watching the birds with the sound of the creek in the background was instant therapy! I think my husband loved all the things we discovered in and around Little Switzerland. We hiked, found local galleries to explore, and met the nicest people in the neighboring towns. I fell in love with the cottage, it became home for us that week. It was the best vacation we have ever had!
Sincerely, Anne, December 2007
