Mountain Cottage – SOLD!
Over the last year and a half, Freita and I have had time to totally renovate and remodel our home in the foothills of the North Carolina mountains. The small cottage is quietly nestled against the side of a mountain on a heavily wooded, 5 acre tract of land in the community of Buffalo Cove. Nearby are two stocked trout streams as well as NC State Gamelands. It’s located in the northeastern edge of Caldwell County about 35 minute from Boone – a beautiful drive down the Elk Creek Road . It is a short two hour drive from Charlotte, and only about an hour and a half from Greensboro.
A hiking trail twists and turns its way from the edge of the small side yard up to the top of the ridge in the middle of the 5 acres of woods (about a 10 minute hike).
Hiking sticks stand ready at the foot of the cottage stairs.
“Before and After” photos (If I have to tell you which ones are the “Before” and which ones are the “After”, then we didn’t do a very good job remodeling!)
The stone column mailbox and planter greet you at the road.

Wow, Dad and Mom I’m so glad to see the before and after. I can’t wait to come stay there! The windows make such a big difference, more than I imagined that they would.
THe cottage is really beautiful! You guys did a great job. God bless you and your “new” home. Love, Taneka
i want to come visit soon! it seems like a place i would really enjoy! i miss my 2nd parents haha!
Johnny Mac, you still have the touch! It’s not the Coot cabin, but I guess that’s a good thing!
Good work, John. Our best to you and the family.
Wow! What a cool place. Great job. This truly looks like a “retreat”. Good to hear from you!
That would have been a good Deep Impact project. Good job.
Looks great! Hope to see you folks again soon.
Freita and John, i know it will be hard to leave this cozy nc mtn home and after much hard remodeling work!……..but it looks as though God is taking you to another range of mtns to help you keep from getting too homesick……God speed as you step out in faith on this new leg of your journey with Him!
If i had the money, i might just buy this place and use it for ministry–a free vacation spot for weary souls. Y’all do incredible renovations and decorating!
