About This House Sit

Seeking a loving non-smoking couple interested in spending time in the mountains of beautiful Western North Carolina in mid Sept 2026. (We prefer having couples sit, as it allows for them to share the pet duties without anything feeling like chores-- so much more pleasurable for you to be here for the cats and chickens while having a nice mountain getaway.) We would like you to come in the afternoon Wed Sept 16 2026 to meet the pets and have dinner with us so you can comfortably settle in before we leave early the next day the 17th. We will be returning the evening of Monday Sept 28th. (We will leave detailed written instructions for you, as well as contact numbers.) We will be traveling with our dog, so your company while we are away will be our funny cats and silly chickens. If interested in spending a quiet time in a beautiful mountain setting, please contact us! (We request that you not ask to bring your own pet or children to this sit. Thank you!) We have 6 mostly indoor cats and 4 funny chickens to look after while we are away. We are asking you to come the day before we leave for you to meet them, and share a dinner with us, (to allow you to also observe their evening routines, and let the cats see we are all friends!). As mentioned before, we will post detailed instructions for the cats and for the chickens on the fridge. :o) Our log cabin is located on 8 wooded acres in Cold Springs Ranch, a gated community adjacent to Pisgah Natl Forest in beautiful western North Carolina, between Asheville NC and Gatlinburg/Pigeon Forge TN. At an elevation of 4,000', this is a hiker's paradise, only 4 mi from Max Patch and the Appalachian Trail. Charming Waynesville is our closest town, with unique shopping and fabulous eating. Not far is Maggie Valley, Cherokee, and Cataloochee Ski and recreation areas. Not quite an hour to Biltmore Estate and other Asheville attractions, and Smoky Mountains Natl Park. We are in a private rustic setting, with Starlink for cell service and internet. Our closest neighbor has a live weather camera on his website, please feel free to contact us for a link to get more of a feel for this special area! We have enjoyed having couples sit, as it allows for them to share the duties without anything feeling like chores! This may be the perfect place for the couple who likes to take plenty of beautiful walks, or enjoy the quiet of the forest from rockers on the porch. No, sorry.
