This cozy whimsical but charming cabin was designed for the special guest in mind! This cabin has two bedrooms, one queen and one double and one shower bathroom. The walls are made of poplar and floors of pinewood. This cabin features

a complete kitchen, gas fireplace, mini split unit with a/c and heat, satellite TV/VCR/DVD, telephone, a front porch with a gas grill and a picnic area with apicnic table just to the right of the porch.

  We used old and new to give special character

  to this cozy cabin. The loveseat faces a corner

  gas fireplace with custom fit mantle with TV

  above. Squirrel Cushions for comfort adorn the

  handmade Pennsylvanian Amish rocker for your

  relaxing pleasure.  You may find these wonderful

  rockers at many shops in the area. The wood

  coffee table was hand made locally. We topped

  the antique table lamp with a vintage Victorian

  shade to add warmth to the room.

  The 40's metal table with antique maple chairs

  seats four for indoor dining. The shower

  bathroom was newly renovated with a new tile

  floor with a locally made sink vanity originally

  built for this cabin. Most of the rugs were hand

  made from Michaelian & Kohlberg in Saluda, NC.

  This is a great place to visit if you need rugs at

  a reasonable price. The other coordinating rugs

  are antique.  Most of the nick-knacks are old

  and new from various places that just popped

  out and said "Take me home"    

Both cozy bedrooms have hand made locusts beds

made by Mr.Kay, the former owner of the cabins. 

The swing arm wall lamps are for your reading

pleasure while relaxing in bed. All
of the quilts, bedding and curtains are from Patch Magic. There is one closet in one bedroom and hooks for your clothing in the other. You most definitely know that you are in the Squirrel Nest
by all of the clever finds and appointments throughout.

All of the art is original and was found in neat little flea markets and shops from all over. However, professional photographer Cameron Krone, Marilyn's son,took the black and white photograph of squirrels jumping up for food in a park in Atlanta, shown in one of the bedrooms. Notice the crow in the background feeling left out, wanting just a little taste. The smaller photo of a squirrel was a gift from a previous guest photographer, Michael Walker, from Sylvania, Ohio.

   The front porch features two wood rocking

   chairs and a small bistro table with two chairs.

   We found a designer squirrel feeder made by a

   local artist for your viewing if one might happen

   to come by for a nut or two. Old shutters hug the

   outside windows.  An outdoor grill is provided for

   your outdoor dining pleasure, and just down off

   to the right of the porch is a picnic area.

You may not know but the white squirrel is unique to this area.  The rumor says that a circus came through in the 1940's, which featured a pair of white squirrels. When their cage turned over, they escaped. They have since bred in this area but are not albinos, but true white squirrels. Some people say that this species is not a registered as part of the squirrel family. We haven't investigated this to be true or not. You may be lucky enough to see one during your stay. If you do, please let us know!

We have provided a Welcome Book in the cabin with brochures and information on activities in the area or check our web category on nearby activities. We have provided you with many links to web sites of interest for research before your arrival.

   We hope you choose to stay in Squirrel Nest.
