Cascade Cottage is a private, stand-alone retreat located on the Twin Willows estate in Mars Hill, North Carolina, just two exits south of Hatley Pointe, which offers downhill skiing and family-friendly snow tubing during the winter season. Designed for comfort, accessibility, and ease, the cottage provides a warm and convenient home base for winter getaways, ski weekends, and seasonal mountain travel.
Fully ADA compliant and beautifully appointed, Cascade Cottage offers a hotel-plus experience in a peaceful estate setting. Guests can enjoy winter activities nearby and return to a quiet, comfortable space ideal for relaxing after a day on the slopes or tubing hill.
Ideal for couples, friends, wedding guests, or travelers seeking accessible accommodations, Cascade Cottage features two king beds, step-free access, and thoughtful design throughout. Guests enjoy privacy while having optional access to seasonal on-site dining, events, and outdoor amenities nearby when desired.
Property Layout & Guest Access
Guests have exclusive access to the entire cottage, including a comfortable living area, sleeping accommodations with two king beds and a sleeper sofa, an efficient kitchenette, and a fully accessible bathroom with walk-in shower. The kitchenette is well suited for coffee, light meals, and reheating and includes essential conveniences for short stays.
Parking is located just steps from the cottage for easy arrival and departure. Guests may also enjoy shared outdoor spaces across the estate, including walking areas, fire pits, and lawn games.
Estate Layout & Proximity
Cascade Cottage is connected to the Stines House by a covered walkway and overlooks the courtyard area of the main home. When the two homes are rented separately, guests may occasionally see or hear activity in the courtyard during daytime or early evening hours. The cottage itself remains a private, enclosed space, and quiet hours are observed across the estate. This layout works especially well for extended families, wedding guests, or groups traveling together who appreciate close proximity while still enjoying separate accommodations.
Optional dining and event spaces are located near the entrance of the property and are intentionally separated from the cottage to preserve its quiet, private atmosphere. Dining and events are seasonal and not required for guests staying at the cottage.
Interaction with Guests
Self check-in is provided for convenience. We are available by message if assistance is needed while respecting guest privacy. Staff may be present near the entrance of the property during food service hours or scheduled events.
