The space
This 470 square foot cottage was scheduled for demolition in 2017. It was disassembled and moved to our property in 2018. We lovingly restored it preserving most of the original structure. The cottage has heart pine floors, original shiplap and cathedral ceilings with exposed beams. The modern kitchen has a farmhouse sink, refrigerator and range. The spacious front porch faces the Eno River. Featured in the cottage is a mid-19th century Thomas Day architectural door surround. Located on a quiet downtown street walkable to everything.

Guest access
The entire cottage is for guests and is accessible with an electronic lock. Guests can walk to the Eno River from the property.
