There are many ways to enjoy the rural beauty of Johnson County and the quaint town of Mountain City, Tennessee.

We're introducing A Cottage in the Woods. Bring your kids, dog, and friends. This is your new house away from home. This casually-decorated, three bedroom, two bath house features a fully equipped kitchen, spacious living-dining combo, deck, one car garage and a very wooded, private location just eight miles north of Mountain City.

It's available for rent on a daily basis, (2-day minimum) fully furnished from linens to pots and pans, TV, VCR and gas-fired stove, as well as central heat.

Our unhosted, three-bedroom/two-bath fully furnished house is available for your family, including children, and friends. Sleeps up to 7 persons. Easy drive of about 28 miles to Bristol Motor Speedway and only 9 miles to the Virginia Creeper Trail. Deposit required. Two-day minimum rental in all cases; three-day minimum for some weekends. Your pet is welcome at this cottage ONLY, not the Inn!

The house was built about 1982 and is a classic wood sided semi-contemporary design. Our furnishings swing toward classic contemporary with a woods and leaves theme. The colors are mainly woodsy, forest tones.

Map to the cottage

Living Room-Dining Room: A gas stove provides a focal point with a leather sofa, cozy rocker, television and dinette table with teak chairs under a ceiling fan. The bay window frames a sunny view of the woods. A deck overlooks the front of the house. There's ample flat ground around the house to spread out a picnic.

Kitchen: The kitchen has been updated with a new dishwasher and microwave oven. There's a large side-by-side refrigerator and electric stove. We provide all dishware, pots and pans, plus the basic paper and cleaning products. Basic condiments and coffee are included, too.

Master bedroom: The queen size bed (at left) is simple, light wood, complementing the creamy, rich curtains. It's all very soft and restful. We've added a twin bed for a child or to use as a day bed. This is a large room, which also comes with a sunny view.

Second bedroom: Double bed (below left) with leaf-patterned linens complement the custom wall mural of a picket fence covered with vines, which serves as a headboard. The first-floor location is adjacent to the first floor bath, which has a shower and leafy patterned wallpaper.

Third bedroom: Two twin beds are dressed in log cabin pattern quilts. This room is adjacent to the family bath with a tub-shower combo on the second floor. The leather sofa in the living room is alsolarge enough to sleep one additional child.

Total capacity: 7 persons and one dog (second dog $25/no tax)
