Graceland Mountain Cottage The One Place You'll Never Want to Leave
Your retreat begins the moment you arrive.
Tucked into more than 10 private acres in the mountains of Western North Carolina, Graceland Mountain Cottage is not your average cabin rental. Built in 2022, this thoughtfully designed mountain escape offers sweeping, long-range views of Nantahala National Forest from virtually every corner of the property—whether you're soaking in the hot tub, gathering around one of the fire pits, or simply sitting still and taking it all in.
No neighbors. No noise. Just you, the mountains, and all the space you need.
THE COTTAGE
The main cottage is warm, modern, and immediately comfortable—the kind of place where you drop your bags and exhale. With two bedrooms and two bathrooms, it is designed for couples or small families who want to feel at home in the mountains without sacrificing comfort.
Starlink high-speed internet is available throughout the entire property, so whether you're working remotely or simply streaming after a long day on the trail, you're covered.
THE PRIVATE GUEST SUITE
Need a little extra space—or simply a little more privacy? The detached lower-level suite has its own private entrance, deck, living room, kitchenette, bedroom, and full bathroom.
Whether it is for family members who want their own space, friends who prefer a little separation, or anyone looking for a quiet place to decompress, the suite gives your group the rare luxury of togetherness without crowding.
Step outside your door, and you'll still enjoy the same stunning mountain views. It feels like your own private hideaway—because it is.
THE OUTDOOR EXPERIENCE
This is where Graceland truly sets itself apart. The property was designed for guests who want to spend time outdoors:
* Hot tub and cold plunge on the back deck—soak while surrounded by the mountains
* Multiple fire pits: one at the upper trailhead, one at the lower gazebo, and one private fire pit for the cottage
* Two full outdoor decks—upper and lower—each with seating, grills, and views
* Ping-pong table at the upper fire pit area
* Cornhole on the front deck
* Gazebo with outdoor games and plenty of room to spread out
* Disc golf across the property
* Nearly one mile of private walking trails, beginning at the top of the property, winding through the woods, opening to the gazebo, passing through the hayfield, crossing a natural stream, and looping back to the house
Let the dogs run. Let the kids roam. Let yourself breathe.
THE VIEWS
No matter where you are on the property, the mountains are with you.
From the upper fire pit, you'll enjoy long-range views deep into Nantahala National Forest. The same views can be enjoyed from the lower gazebo, hot tub, decks, and cottage windows. The mountains follow you everywhere.
At night, the stars take over. It feels remote. It feels exclusive. Because it is.
WHAT'S AROUND YOU

Summary: My favorite VRBO house by far. House is new, well appointed and comfortable. Well lighted, too. Kitchen is over the top well equipped, so of you like to cook, this is your place. Above all, support from the host is the best I’ve encountered. They get the definition of “ hospitality.” Many VRBO hosts don’t. Highly recommended.
