Nestled in the Mountains...

North Carolina Beauty Awaits.

 

WELCOME TO FERNWOOD COTTAGE

Fernwood Cottage offers a different type of mountain lodging in the Andrews, Murphy,  North Carolina area — a vacation rental mountain lodge divided into two separate suites. Each suite is private with its own large living/dining/bedroom, kitchen, and bathroom with shower, handmade king-sized bed, plus queen sofa bed for additional guests and dining table for four. Separate heat and air-conditioning, free WiFi, satellite TV with DVD and VCR. Totally furnished, beautifully decorated and immaculately clean.

 

Don’t worry about rushing to the grocery store on arrival. A continental breakfast will be waiting for you on your first and second days. You have the privacy of your own cabin, but also the option to bring along friends and family and have the place to yourselves.

YOUR INNKEEPERS : Roy & Daphne Sargent

As former innkeepers, we understand that today’s travelers are looking for privacy and relaxation. We’ve built Fernwood Cottage as a guest house adjacent to our home so you, too, can enjoy the peace and quiet of our 20-acre mountain cove with lake and walking trails. Walk through the woods dotted with wildflowers and around the lake; then under a rhododendron canopy and up the hill overlooking the cove.

Hike, read, and relax. Watch the bluebirds, woodpeckers, wild geese, mallard ducks, and other wildlife visit our mountain lake. Truly private – but only one mile from shopping, restaurants, and movies.

If you’re choosing lodging in Andrews, NC, or looking for a Murphy, North Carolina cabin rental, we know you’ll be happy with Fernwood Cottage.
