REDUCED!!! SPECIAL NIGHTLY RATE! PRIVATE IN THE COUNTRY! CENTRAL LOCATION!

SPECIAL DATES REDUCED FROM $150 PER NIGHT! VERY CONVENIENT CENTRAL LOCATION 10 MINUTES FROM MAIN STREET AND MANY ACTIVITIES BUT STILL SECLUDED AND PRIVATE IN THE COUNTRY! No sharp turns or steep inclines makes this cabin convenient and accessible in all four seasons and great for access to all adventures and ski slopes. NO Steps for entry or inside.
A Magical Paradise in the Smoky Mountains where Nature Rejoices . . . Experience the comfort and coziness of a romantic mountain cabin nestled in the Great Smoky Mountains with all the comforts of home! Hummingbird Cottage is the perfect stay for a couple and combines a beautiful cabin with breathtaking mountain views, gardens, ponds and forest. Experience country life to it’s fullest and real 'country living' with cows, horses and chickens lazily grazing on neighboring mountainside pastures. This beautiful, peaceful cabin with pine-vaulted ceilings throughout and big windows is located in the quaint town of Waynesville, 10 minutes from an award-winning Downtown Main Street full of cafes, art galleries, restaurants, coffee shops, live music and just about any shopping you can imagine nearby. Enjoy strolling the farm with gardens of organic flowers, herbs, fruits and veggies and a large pond and orchard. Cozy up with a good book on the comfy covered porch while songbirds flutter amongst the flowers and birdhouses. Be mesmerized by the large variety of butterflies floating from bloom to bloom. Curl up in bed on Summer evenings cool enough for a light blanket, even in July! (50's - 60's degrees at night is the norm!) Just open the windows for the cool nighttime breezes and experience 'Mountain Air-Conditioning!' Although Hummingbird Cottage is air-conditioned, it is passive solar so you may feel you do not need a/c with the great low mountain temps and low humidity. Be lulled to sleep by the night sounds of the frogs’ lullabies from the pond just outside. You may even hear the mournful wail of a coyote in the distance. Among the beautifully landscaped flower and vegetable gardens is another large pond teaming with wildlife in the farm garden area. Enjoy a bonfire at the reserveable (no charge) community fire pit with stone patio, chairs and bench in the orchard next to the large pond. Stroll down lavender-lined paths through gardens strewn with fountains and statuary. Enjoy all the comforts of a home, not a rental. You should find just about everything you need for a comfortable and memorable stay. Sleeping: There is a queen bed in the large bedroom for two adults. There is also a big leather couch with two recliners in the living room available for small children (infant - 6 yrs only). There are plenty of extra linens, pillows and blankets provided. For Mobility Challenged Guests: There is an access ramp right next to the parking spaces. No steps to get in or out of the cabin. No steps inside the cabin. The property is flat so easy to maneuver around on a walker or in a regular-size wheelchair. Toilet Height18", Bed Height 30" GREAT, reliable 150 GB wi fi included per month.

Serene, magical Hummingbird Cottage in a great location
We had an absolutely wonderful trip. The Hummingbird Cottage is very cozy with many lovely surprises surrounded in nature. Loved watching the fireflies at night. Presnells produce stand. Love grilling on the grill. Loved the cows and bulls. Our favorite hosts of any VRBO we've stayed at are amazing people. They answered our questions.Beautiful Robyn goes above and beyond. The gardens she created are magnificent. We would come back again in a heart beat.

Privacy And Wildlife Galore
As you will find in other reviews, you can hear nearby traffic from the highway. It doesn’t take away from the birds, bunnies, groundhogs and cows that call the farm home. Thoroughly enjoyed seeing them all every morning.

Beautiful Hummingbird Cottage
We had a wonderful stay at Hummingbird Cottage! The cottage was spotlessly clean and well appointed with everything we needed for a relaxing and peaceful mountain vacation. We were surrounded by beautiful gardens, ponds and pastures with cows grazing out side our widows. Our host Robyn was very kind and helpful and quick to answer any questions we had. We couldn’t have asked for a better location and would happily stay here again if we are in the area! Thank you, Robyn for such a great experience!!

A great, cozy cottage for a Fall honeymoon!
My husband and I greatly enjoyed our honeymoon spent at Hummingbird Cottage! The Fall colors and sweater weather were perfect. We so appreciated the opportunity to be able to bring our Chocolate Lab mix dog with us. Some rentals can be so picky with their pet policy, but we appreciated Robyn's open dog policy! Our pup loved the early morning walks around the farm. The cottage was clean upon check in and you can tell that Robyn takes great pride to make sure every detail is covered-from having helpful items around to feel like home, a helpful and informative welcome packet with directions, leaving farm fresh eggs for us, and a heart made out of a red blanket left on our bed for our honeymoon. Little touches like that mean a lot! Robyn is always quick and friendly with her responses. She even messaged us on our check-in day to check on us and see if there was anything we needed. Would definitely recommend for a cozy couple's getaway out in the farm countryside of western NC.

Beautiful retreat.
Thanks to Robyn we had a great experience renting this cabin! We were provided the detailed driving directions to the property. The key to the cabin was locked in the secured box. The cabin was clean and spacious. We enjoyed the complimentary free range eggs:) Most of our daily time we have spent outside hiking. The hikes we choose to hike on were in 40- 50 minutes drive. The cabin has a wood burning stove in the bedroom. There is an instruction how to operate the stove and the wood was provided.

Highway very close
It was difficult to sleep with windows open because of car/truck noise from the highway. Cannot really see highway because of the trees but not enough to keep noise down. Need to shut windows and run window air conditioning which made it own noise. There was a nice noise machine in the bedroom which made it much better. I listened to ocean waves. Otherwise enjoyable stay.

Great Couple Getaway
This was a great little spot to celebrate 35 years of marriage. It’s a very private & comfortable little cottage for two. You enter the cottage to a small quaint kitchen and sitting area with a reclining sofa. A very cozy place to relax. Then you enter the large bathroom with all of the essentials. From there is the very large bedroom with a queen bed. All ceilings throughout are cathedral or “A Frame” giving a open airy feel. With the exception of some highway noise up the mountain and blocked by a tree line, it is very peaceful. This didn’t bother us but if you’re looking for complete quite it could be an issue. Though inside you hardly notice. There are two decks for your enjoyment. One is covered with chairs and a grill, the other has a swing. We saw some amazing little creatures and had fun watching the cattle. Overall we believe you’ll throughly enjoy staying at the Hummingbird Cottage!

Very Relaxing Cottage!
My husband and I had a fantastic time lounging around the cute little cottage! We also enjoyed sitting on the front and back porches watching the cattle, bunnies, birds, and occasional gopher. It was pretty warm while we were there, however the window units did a great job keeping it nice and cool during the day. Nighttime was AMAZING...only the window fan was needed! And oh my gosh...the fireflies!!! I would definitely recommend staying at the Hummingbird Cottage! I hope to visit again in the near future! Thank you!!

Lovely cottage
My husband and I enjoyed time at the Hummingbird cottage and we loved it. Supplied with all sorts of things you might need! Bedroom was spacious and the porch swing was great to sit and watch the cows. Robyn left fresh eggs, fresh flowers in every room and 2 adult beverages for our arrival. Yes, there is a highway behind the cottage over a ridge and a grove of trees but honestly we didn't really pay any attention to it. We highly recommend staying at Hummingbird Cottage! Don & Debbie

About the host

Hosted by Robyn

Host profile image
Robyn is Rental Manager for Frog Holler Vacation Rentals, which is family-owned and managed. She and her parents moved to the beautiful Smoky Mountains from Virginia Beach, Virginia in 1999 to enjoy mountain living. Fortunate to grow up on several family farms, Robyn has continued her love of the outdoors since retiring from the legal, real estate and construction fields. She stays busy also as a Vacation Rental Consultant and Farm Development, Agritourism Consultant.

Why they chose this property

The property is in the middle of just about everything! Even though it is in a very rural area surrounded by beautiful mountains, it is only minutes from Downtown Waynesville, Maggie Valley, the town of Lake Junaluska and Asheville and all their great events--the best of both worlds. If you want a trip into town, you are just 10 minutes from Downtown Waynesville and 20 minutes from Asheville. The property is just over the mountain from Maggie Valley--about 10 minutes and 5 minutes from Lake Junaluska! And being only 2 miles from Exit 24-Interstate 40 access, you get everywhere really fast and easy. The location is also great in challenging Winter weather since the road is flat to get in and out and it is centrally located in areas where the roads are cleared sooner in increment weather.

What makes this property unique

The property offers a serene atmosphere to get away from it all. Become another one of our wonderful regular guests who visit each year since 2007! The gardens are teaming with songbirds and much wildlife, butterflies, frogs, bees, hummingbirds, not to mention the surrounding mountain pastures with cows, horses, chickens and goats. Just sitting on the deck in the afternoon is an experience you will not soon forget. There is so much activity between all the beautiful flowers. Enjoy a bonfire by the pond at night (reservable for private use/no charge) while listening to a multitude of frogs', plus coffee on the deck in the morning while enjoying the mountain views. All of this is just minutes from great hiking, rafting, art galleries, festivals, live music, shopping and so much more. You will want to return again and again like many of our repeat guests (and like we did!).
