Last Minute Booking

We've had an exciting new year.

Before January, my husband had been driving from Hickory to Charlotte...for about 20 years! So when he got a new job 30 minutes deeper into Charlotte, we realized we would need to find apartment in that area, but keep our house in Hickory. Since then, we have also been traveling with my husband's new job, and going back and forth between the house and the apartment, visiting with our many children and grandkids. So as you can imagine, I haven't been able to keep up with listing the cottage as often as well as I did last year, or check my messages right away.

This is a favorite Blue Ridge Parkway view.
 I have painted it several times,
and on the day I took this picture, I noticed
a photography class field trip going on at the top of the "hill".

Lucky for you, this means I have more available dates than I had last summer. Don't worry. The cottage is adorable, in excellent condition and in an ideal river front location. As a matter of fact, I can say with confidence that it is one of the nicest vacation rentals around.

Another view of my favorite hill. This is the view I usually paint.

Now I am actively working on the cottage rentals again. You are always welcome to email me at cottageonthenew@yahoo.com or call and see if you can book for a last-minute stay, because we do have availability right now, and I'm always happy to assist when the cottage booking is open. If you call, please leave a message and state your number twice. I will always try to return a call if I can, to let you know to keep looking, but if I don't call right back, you can usually be assured that it is already booked. However, do email me as well, at cottageonthenew@yahoo.com, just in case.

This is the second bedroom; very peaceful!

The Boone area is a great area for photographers and artists.
Everywhere I look, there is something wonderful that I must preserve on camera.

Thanks so much for your interest in our cottage. Do keep us in mind for the next time you have time for a mountain getaway. Be sure to scroll down and see photos of some of the wonders we have to offer.

If you "friend" us here on the website, you will receive my occasional postings, and keep up on the news of "what's happening" at the cottage.

Thanks! Deber
