Awesome Cottage, Views, Waterfalls, Cute animals, streams, privacy, easy access

Welcome to Wicklow Woods! We have designed our large 10 acre+ property for families and groups looking to stay in clean and comfortably appointed lodging. There are steams, ponds, waterfalls, and views of the mountains without ever leaving Wicklow.

If your dream is escaping to the North Carolina Mountains, we are nestled in a quiet cove surrounded by beautiful mountains, minutes from downtown Andrews, NC. While staying with us in Wicklow Woods, you will find peace and serenity that can only be found in the Mountains of the Carolinas. We are just minutes away from Andrews, NC where you can enjoy mountain biking, golf, fly fishing, horseback riding, scenic drives & walks, shopping. White water rafting adventures on the nearby Ocoee or Nantahala rivers are not far away. Our close proximity to many of major attractions, such as the Cherokee Nation Reservation and the Great Smokey Mountain National Park makes our location desirable for families looking to pack their week-long vacation full of activities.

Wicklow is an Andrews, North Carolina getaway with the privacy of cabin lodging. The decoration is somewhat shabby chic and upscale cabin lodging. We often get comments about the high quality of the furnishings, bedding and linens. People feel immediately comfortable! (Please see the feedback and comments from past guests.) Relax by the pond as well as a 10ft high waterfall that empties into a wading pool with sandy beach. Visit with our miniature donkeys that reside in our pasture. Your pets are welcome but must be listed as guests to include the pet fee. All dogs must be walked on a leash for the safety of our animals.

The lodge has a spacious feel with 4 bedrooms, 2 full baths, and 2 family rooms featuring large flat panel smart TVs. Sunshine fills the upstairs living area by day, and the large stone fire pit and Adirondack chairs afford cozy nights by the fire. The fully equipped kitchen features oven, stove, refrigerator, large microwave, dishwasher, toaster, coffeemaker and additional small appliances. The antique farmhouse dining table with handmade bench and farmhouse style chairs can seat up to eight. You have everything you need to prepare a homemade family feast.

We had an absolutely wonderful stay at Wicklow Cottage. The cottage itself was cozy, beautifully decorated, and felt like home from the moment we arrived. We especially loved relaxing on the patio each morning with a cup of coffee—it was the perfect peaceful start to the day.My favorite part, though, was visiting the donkeys, chickens, and geese every day—they added such a charming touch to our stay. I can’t recommend Wicklow Cottage enough, and we’ll definitely be booking it again the next time we’re in North Carolina.

Enjoyed our stay!

Beautiful place to stay, at the lodge. Rooms were lovely, beds very comfortable. There was a lot of attention to every detail. Very clean. Grounds are so nice and peaceful with several ponds. Host could not have been more accomodating. The lodge was spacious, decorated nicely, and with a very " homey" feel.

Super clean, spacious and very comfortable. The Andrews RailTrail was within a 12 minute drive. Host was responsive. Property was gorgeous. Directions from the main road are good but the road to the cottage is very narrow and dark. Try to arrive during daylight if possible. I definitely would stay there again.

Quiet country cottage

My family and I stayed at Wicklow Woods for a long weekend. It was perfect and we loved the country setting. The grandkids had a great time feeding the donkeys and running around in the field. We stayed here last year and the bedding and decor had been updated. Wonderful place to stay.

This home was perfect for two families. The house was well stocked, the property was quiet and our kids loved spending time on tad pole beach with the ducks. The owners were also willing to accommodate our dog at the last minute which was so helpful! We would absolutely stay here again if we plan another trip to andrews.

Happiness is in the eye of the beholder

My grand kids loved the property and all the things they could do. Two of them get hornet bites, one in the eye while petting donkeys. That ended that adventure. The lower floor of the house was horribly damp. There were many spiders and other bugs in the house. My granddaughter wouldnt slee. If my kids go back again, good for i won't p inher assigned room because of spiders on the wall and in corner of closet. The kitchen had little black ants all over. Direct tv is not my favorite and phone reception was spotty. Its a very long way from town, if you like that good.

Recommend Highly!

This property is absolutely fantastic for a family or group. From the grounds which were just stunning (creek’s, small water falls, feeding the donkeys, fishing pond..), it was perfect for our family! The kitchen is stocked with essential gadgets, silverware, pots, etc. which was helpful. Comfortable beds. We truly enjoyed our week stay. But… I will say there are some issues that need to be addressed. BLACK ANTS. They were all over the kitchen. If you leave ANYTHING on the counters, it will be invaded by ants. We had to throw some things away due forgetting to put it away or not putting it in a sealed container. Be warned. Leave nothing on the counters. There was a board on the deck/patio we noticed that had a hole in it. After walking on this deck while we were there, a huge hole appeared. Dangerous if it’s not fixed soon. The downstairs toilet moved every time it was used. There was an odor of mold, musty smell in one bedroom downstairs & one upstairs. Not sure where that was coming from. If there is a large group (which we were), more kitchen towels should be available. We had 4 teenagers with us. The Wi-Fi/internet was horrible. They were not happy. Very spotty or non existent. It worked better outside than inside. The good thing.. no Wi-Fi made them go outside and enjoy their wonderful outdoor things Wicklow had to offer. Wicklow is a great choice to family’s wanting a big enough place to be comfortable, plenty of amenities.

Beautiful Country Hideaway

Property is lovely with a creek running through it. House was spacious and worked well for us. Upon arriving we found there was an invasion of ants but the owners, Robin and April, responded immediately. There are a/c units both upstairs and downstairs but not in the bedrooms. I kept the doors opened to the bedrooms during the day to keep the rooms cool, so it wasn't a problem. My grandkids loved the friendly mini donkeys and playing in the stream and the adults enjoyed horseshoes, while I enjoyed walking the property trying to identify various trees and reading by the stream. My husband had to work quite a bit and found the internet connection sufficient (that was a must for him). We would definitely consider returning! We took a day trip to the Smokey Mountains don't miss Mingus Mill or the Mountain Farm Museum if you head that way. We loved 2nd Story Entertainment Mini Golf in Blue Ridge and the Cuban food at Rum Cake Lady also in Blue Ridge. We had a wonderful afternoon exploring at Leatherwood Falls about 35 minutes away (no crowds and the trails were filled with interesting things for the kids to explore) We ended our stay with an all day rafting trip down the Ocoee River!

Clean with lots of uninvited guests

I don’t know how else to describe this property. The grounds are amazing, the linens clean, the counters spotless, and there are bugs - specifically spiders in nearly every corner of the house. Luckily my two little boys turned it into a game while Dad and I were less thrilled with their kill counts it was kind of “ok”. However, we left some hotdog buns, in a bag, and a bottle of kids Tylenol on a counter for a day and came back after visiting family to ants all over the counter, all over the bag, all over the Tylenol, and more spiders that moved in to areas previously inhabited by those we massacred. I messaged the owner to let them know, but after traveling to Andrew’s for literally my entire 40 years of existence (family is all from that area) I know mountains attract bugs, but the level of spiders in this home is indicative of a larger problem and ants can be combated. The donkeys, the goats, the mini horse, and the fishing - all outdoor activities were fantastic. It is absolutely gorgeous property and it is so disappointing that the detail of dusting or getting in the corners of the house was left undone. The location is superb as my grandparents owned a home just down the road and my father grew up in that area. We love this area and exploring new options for visiting our remaining family in the area, but this will not be a return location. We left a day early because it was just too much and with Covid being what it is we were not interested in trying to work something out that should have been addressed prior to our stay. I messaged through VRBO before we left for our vacation and asked about a coffee pot vs a keurig and never heard back. In addition I messaged when we left early and have not heard back. The property is gorgeous, truly and oasis but our uninvited roommates ruined the trip.

Amazing place in a great location

We had a great time! The property is 5 minutes by car from the regional airport, so it's ideal if you fly yourself or take a charter from one of the bigger airports around. The farm is amazing for kids. Our 5 year old learned how to fish for trout and use a stand-up paddle board all in the same week. We enjoyed the fire pit in the evening and the amazing night sky. Lot's of activities around. Scenic drives, hikes in the forests, white water rafting, time on the lakes, etc. The house has 4 bedrooms and easily sleeps 8 people. We only used the upstairs section with its two bedrooms for.our family. A decent grocery store is in the town nearby and there is also a walmart super center 20 minutes away for everything else. The owners have created a nice little booklet with tips for local activities, restaurants, etc. Great stay overall and we look forward to coming back for another visit some time.

A real gem 💎

This cottage was absolutely fantastic. The property was gorgeous - with ponds, a storybook stream running through, ducks, goats, donkeys, a pony and a fire ring stocked with firewood - perfect for S'mores or a glass of wine under the stars. The property owners were very kind and accommodating. My whole family had such a great time.
