Two Storybook cottages
One Unforgettable experience

ONCE UPON A STREAM
Presenting Chapter One in our story. The largest of our two properties, Once Upon a Stream sits on a private two-acre wooded lot and sleeps up to 14 guests. This storybook English cottage has three levels with 4 BR, 3.5 BA, and a large lower-level "kid cave" and rec room- perfect for all your Hansels and Gretels! Enjoy unique tree-top views from the deck and endless entertainment in our crystal-clear rushing mountain stream.
Twice
UPON A STREAM
The latest chapter of our story takes us over the river and through the woods of Sapphire Valley. Located walking distance from Once Upon a Stream and Hogback Lake, this cottage is situated at the end of a cul de sac street on a very private and wooded one-acre lot. The bubbling stream creates a magical setting for your family mountain getaway. TWICE Upon a Stream has two levels and features 3 BR, 3.5 BA , a second lower-level family room, and sleeps up to 10 guests.

Cottage?
At The Mountain Cottage, our mission is to help the world fall in love with the Blue Ridge Mountains, one storybook adventure at a time. Our goal is to create an exceptional, concierge-like, mountain vacation experience for your family and friends- not just provide you with a place to stay. If you're looking for the ultimate family mountain adventure, or perhaps a relaxing couples' retreat, we have just the plan for you! Both of our cozy cottages are located in the beautiful Blue Ridge Mountains of Sapphire, NC. The area boasts four seasons of stunning picturesque scenery, fun, and adventure. Just over an hour west of Asheville, NC, and the magnificent Biltmore Estate, the cottages are in the heart of "waterfall land". With dozens of spectacular waterfalls, crystal-clear lakes and streams, countless miles of unbelievable hiking trails, challenging golf courses, and fabulous shopping and dining nearby, western North Carolina offers something for everyone... including your dog! We are PET-FRIENDLY and welcome most dogs. Guests of The Mountain Cottage also enjoy access to all of the Sapphire Valley Resort amenities including discounted rates for the Vordach Zip Line and Ski Sapphire Valley.
