Welcome to The Sliding Rock Cottage. Located in Old Fort, North Carolina, Gateway Mountain is a private, gated community consisting of a 3,000-acre nature preserve that adjoins 10,000-acres of conservation land nestled in the Blue Ridge Mountains.
Enjoy the peaceful sounds of the water, relax by the fireplace, or take a soak in the hot tub; you'll fall in love with the undisturbed surroundings of nature. Relish the mountain air, listen to the waterfalls rush down the sliding rock, and just enjoy life!
The creek behind the house is Sallie Davis Creek. Enter the creek at your own risk, but this is a fun creek to explore, and we highly recommend it! If you go downstream about 30 yards from the waterfalls, you’ll find the infamous Sliding Rock.
As a guest of this private and isolated community, you’ll have access to hiking trails, a picnic area, our magnificent Standing Rock waterfall, use of Lake George, and the trout pond for catch-and-release fishing (no license required).
Sliding Rock Cottage is a beautiful 15-minute drive to the town of Old Fort where you can enjoy a delicious burger and cold beer from Hillman Brewing and 25-minutes to the charming towns of Black Mountain and Marion. Asheville, The Biltmore Estate, Chimney Rock, Lake Lure, & Linville Caverns are all within 30 to 60-minute drive away.
