Etowah's Cottage - dog friendly, king beds, hiking, rafting, motorcycles

Centrally located dog friendly home, for families or couples to access the Cherokee National Forest. The Cottage is located in a residential neighborhood in the quaint historic railroad town of Etowah. Walking distance to antique shops, local businesses, playground, dog park and community pool. Easy access to the Hiwassee River, Ocoee River, the Cherokee National Forest. Chattanooga and Knoxville are 60 min away and Gatlinburg is 90 min away. Fenced yard and fully enclosed front porch for pets or kids. Two king bedrooms and 2 full baths. Large deck off the back of the house with privacy screening and gate. There is a small stream at the rear of the property outside the fence yard. Usually only a few inches deep, but can run very fast with deeper water during heavy rains. Please supervise children and do not allow them in the stream unsupervised.

I appreciate the owner allowing pets. This is my primary search filter when looking for a property. With a fenced backyard, a deck and patio that were constructed to contain a pet, I couldn't be more pleased. It's clear the 1902 property has undergone some renovations, like a new HVAC system and second bathroom. That said, there is a faint smell in the house that I attributed to the home's age. I'm sure the owner has plans for additional projects, so do expect some 'older' features, but completely usable. The location was perfect for me as I have family in Etowah. I will say this property is head and shoulders above any hotel you may find in the area. Overall, I would stay in this property again when returning to visit family.

Cute and Clean Place

The house was very clean and is located downtown of Etowah. The house is older, but nicely remodeled. A plus is the fenced in backyard for pets. Communication with the owner was very easy and prompt. No complaints here.

Perfect place to stay while visiting family!

To preface this: there was an issue with my check-in. The host was very accommodating and very kind during this issue. She went above and beyond what I expected. The house itself was lovely and I would be happy to stay there again! It makes visiting family so easy as I have a dog that is a little complicated to say the least.

Vacation

The cottage was beautiful. Proximity to family was around a quarter mile away. Very clean and accessible. The driveway was a bit narrow for parking for a full size truck. Found a bunch of deck screws and nails on the back deck and driveway. Thankfully I had my shoes on ended up with a nail in the in my shoe. Overall a very pleasant experience and would definitely vacation there again next year

Disruptive and disturbing

Place was not clean. Food crumbs on the floors. Small and claustrophobic. Had planned a month but spent more time at a hotel and checked out early. Something in the cottage was giving us red long welts. There was a dirty drug abuser asking for rides and the cops were called to the same house every few nights 1-2 in the morning. Advised the property manager and she only wanted pictures so she could address the issues. Like we thought to grab a camera and take pictures of the cops outside our house with flashlights trying to call the neighbors. We never asked her for anything but felt disregarded, would never stay or recommend
