Description
A visit to Cort Cottage brings you to a natural edge between home and mountain. From the comfortable and artfully appointed interior and building design to the sweeping meadow below the panoramic window, the cottage is about simplicity. It becomes your private home-away-from home.
Cort Cottage is 4 miles from the main entrance to Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Park in Three Rivers, California.
From your host, Elsah Cort, "I have always felt that offering the cottage to guests is a way to share the peace, serenity and the intensity of living on the edge. In our increasingly fast and busy world, we need a place to tone it down. The best thing you can do when visiting Cort Cottage is to do nothing at all. Of course, meandering among the giant trees in Sequoia National Park is a great plan...and don't forget a few naps and walks at the river's edge."
The natural setting is breathtaking for this private bed and breakfast guest cottage deep in Salt Creek Canyon at the foot of Case Mountain. Fitting snugly into the the hillside, the Cottage has an open floor plan and was designed and built in 1985 as a special home for Elsah's Grandma. Grandma's favorite color of blue is found in the dishes, carpets, linens and furniture. A panoramic half-circle window frames the Sierra Nevada Foothills and meadow outside, and provides a magnificent framing for the star-studded night sky and the full moon rise from behind the mountains across the canyon.
The outside deck is made from the circular bottom of a large redwood wine vat. A shade umbrella and table with chairs provide an outdoor living space. There is a queen-size bed, with down comforter in the bedroom area and a futon couch in the living room which opens to a full-size bed. Extra bed linens, pillows and blankets are found in a cedar chest in the bedroom. The bathroom has a tiled step down shower which also doubles as a sit down bath tub. A TV with VCR, equipped with satellite TV, and a stereo with a CD player is also found in the living room. A distinctive library of books and magazines are available for thoughtful browsing. Hiking and mountain biking is welcomed nearby in the BLM land at Case Mountain.
The kitchen is fully equipped for cooking, including microwave, gas stove, refrigerator, coffee maker, and all dishes and cooking utensils. There is an outside flower bed at the level of the kitchen window at the sink. Breakfast is a continental offing of muffins and juice. Freshly ground French roast coffee, both regular and decaf, is available along with a wide assortment of herbal teas. An outdoor hot tub is filled during the cooler months only, from around November to March, for relaxing and soaking under the Milky Way. Smoking is allowed on the outside deck only. Iron and ironing board, flashlight, board games, bathing supplies, and other amenities are offered for guests. Please, no pets. The resident cats do not go into the cottage so it is dander free for guests with allergies. Air conditioning and heating provided by an efficient ductless unit.
