About this property

Gorgeous studio cottage less than 1/2 mile from Western Carolina University!

Catamount Cottage is a quaint retreat for either a single traveler or a couple. This fully renovated studio cottage is situated on a private drive in a small residential area just a stone's throw from Western Carolina University. Originally built as a wood workshop by the first owner, a former WCU football coach, the cottage is tucked under the main house and has it's own private driveway.

The current owners wanted to honor the original vision by keeping the rustic exterior, but the inside of the cottage is brand new. This modern and upscale retreat is outfitted for a cozy stay. The kitchen, complete with granite countertops and an eat-in bar, has all of the amenities you might need if your preference is staying in and cooking for yourself. You can sink into the full-size bed and watch Netflix or read a book on the leather armchair. If there is work to do, you can utilize the dedicated high-speed internet and work at the counter-height bar or outside on the front deck. If your preference is going out, the towns of Sylva and Dillsboro are an easy 15-minute drive with award-winning restaurants to choose from!

Wonderful cottage close to WCU!

We stayed here for move-in weekend. It was perfect for the two of us. Awesome use of the space and decorated nicely. Conveniently located very close to campus. Great communication with the owner as well. We hope to stay here again during our next visit!

Birthday trip

I booked so I could celebrate my son’s twentieth birthday with him. He’s a sophomore at WCU. I loved the property. It was beautiful and quaint. And I especially loved being so close to the campus. Thanks for a wonderful time.
