Leicester holiday guest house: Leicester

New Property Listing!

Tranquility and peacefulness abound at Cove at Add's Place. Your busy, hurried life disappears from the moment you reach the property and you realize you have found an oasis! Take the stone steps down to the creek and listen to the relaxing sounds of the water running over the rocks. Or explore the fields and hiking trails while admiring the views and quiet surroundings. Become mesmerized by simmering embers dancing in the fire pit or curl up with a book in the screened porch and let yourself unwind, feeling the simple luxuries of mountain living.
Aside from the inspiration of nature surrounding your senses, the beautifully appointed cottage is an award winning Southern Living design, nestled on the hillside overlooking the protected two creeks. The merits of the home's exterior amenities include a front porch and a deck running the length of the cottage, with gorgeous valley views!
The interior's unparalleled fine touches include a vaulted living room with massive 20-foot native stone, a wood burning fireplace, fir paneling and a solid oak staircase leading to the loft bedroom suite. In addition, the main floor has a fully equipped kitchen, large dining room and a second bedroom and bath.

Aside from the peaceful setting, this land's rich history dates back before the Civil War! The Cove at Add’s Place is built on a portion of the Rev. Mark Broyles family farm. The original, century old, log cabin still sits in the meadow below. It was last home to Addison Broyles and his family, and was occupied until the late 1940’s. Each newly married Broyles son and his bride moved here to “set up housekeeping" away from the larger farmhouse nearby. The driveway once provided access to a mica mine further up the mountain and during the winter months, hike up to the mountain top for incredible the winter views. This property also is adjacent to the Nature Preserve and one can see wildlife -- from wild boar to wild turkeys -- flourishing.
