3 Bedroom Cottage in Hot Springs

Just minutes from Hot Springs, NC, Red Gate Cottage offers a peaceful stay overlooking the French Broad River. Completed in 2020, the home was thoughtfully designed to take full advantage of its setting, with river views from nearly every main room, two screened porches, and a flagstone patio positioned for sunsets over the water and surrounding mountains.
Blending modern comfort with vintage character, the cottage features carefully collected antiques and family pieces throughout the home. Quiet spaces to gather, read, cook, or simply enjoy the view can be found both inside and out.
House Overview:
Entry
A stone garden path leads from the parking area to the front entrance on the opposite side of the home. Guests enjoy convenient self check-in with a keypad lock.
Kitchen
The kitchen is fully equipped for cooking and gathering, with modern appliances, cookware, dishware, utensils, a dishwasher, microwave, toaster oven, and slow cooker. Guests will also find a drip coffee maker, electric tea kettle, coffee, sugar, basic spices, dish supplies, and a propane grill for outdoor cooking.
Main-Level Bedroom & Bath
The downstairs bedroom features a queen bed, abundant natural light, and a private screened porch overlooking the river. The ensuite bathroom includes a soaking tub and custom walk-in shower.
Upstairs Queen Bedroom & Bath
The upstairs queen bedroom offers elevated views of the river and surrounding mountains along with a private ensuite bathroom featuring a custom walk-in shower.
Upstairs Loft Bedroom & Bath
The loft-style bedroom at the top of the stairs includes two twin beds, a desk overlooking the river, and a private ensuite bathroom with a walk-in shower. Please note this room is partially open to the stairway and connected by a doorway to the upstairs queen bedroom. Portable privacy screens are available if desired.
Outdoor Spaces
The outdoor living areas were crafted using local stone and designed to make the most of the setting. Enjoy evenings around the firepit, morning coffee on one of the porches, or sunsets overlooking the river.
The driveway accommodates 2–3 vehicles. Please note there is a garden path and several short sets of steps between the parking area and the entrance.
For quieter moments, the cottage includes comfortable reading areas, games, puzzles, a small library, and a writing desk with river views.
Morning coffee on one of the porches often comes with views of local wildlife — bald eagles soaring above the river, great blue herons along the shoreline, and Canada geese moving downriver toward Tennessee.
While the setting feels peaceful and removed, modern conveniences are available throughout the home, including Roku TV, high-speed Wi-Fi, Wi-Fi calling capability for cell phones, and a landline.

The scenic Paint Rock corridor, located just downriver from the cottage, offers opportunities for hiking, picnicking, biking, swimming, and fishing.
