With the rain coming in tonight we figured it was the optimal time to begin an annual tradition of ‘Meadowscaping’. Our gardener, Corey, is broadcasting almost a half a million native wildflower seeds as we speak. Our vision is to allow our guests to walk amongst an entire acre of beautiful blooms and the Hummingbirds, Butterflies, and pollinators. Imagine a picnic in a field of wildflowers.
Along with the wildflowers, Corey planted two dozen Hostas that she rescued from another job site. The Little Gem Cottage is gonna look even more beautiful than ever !!

Crunchy Walk
Most of the leaves have fallen at the Little Gem, but it is now so easy to hear the rustling of nature, be it Gert the Groundhog, the community cat, raccoons, and of course, members of our herd of deer.

Hmm, we figured they’d be hiding out until after the New Year, for obvious reasons. But we guess they didn’t get the memo. Besides, crunchy leaves under their feet give them away.
Wildlife abounds at The Little Gem Cottage and the list just keeps getting longer.

A flock of gobblers who must be oblivious of the season … or maybe just full of confidence. Either way, they are safe at the Little Gem.

Don’t quote us, but we’re pretty sure there’s a reason they call it Fall
#fireflycabin #littlegemcottage #brysoncity
It’s a B E A utiful Autumn morning here at The Little Gem Cottage and the #fireflycabin.
Happy Fall Y’all !!
May your day be as crisp and colorful as it is up here in the Smokies.
We welcome the Woolybear Caterpillar to The Little Gem Cottage. It is harmless and is well known to be the predictor of winter. The length of the middle section determines duration. And by the looks of it, that’s a pretty long winter ahead. Snocation anyone?
When we closed on our little farmhouse in the foothills of the Smokies (@greatsmokynps ) in May, we had anxiously waited for and dreamed about what fall would look like. It’s more beautiful than we could have imagined, from the fire bush by the porch to the gorgeous sunrise with fog and color to the yellows — oh so many yellows — that the trees are giving us! So from our family — Bub, Alina and Gert the Groundhog (he’s a long-time tenant), we invite you to come and stay with us and enjoy the beauty of the #mountainlife ! 🍁💛

After an exhaustive 3-month fact-finding research project, the Little Gem Cottage Blue Ribbon Committee has determined the following:
If you’re not here, you must be somewhere else.
Just let it sink in.
We know, right? Profound words!
We are in the early stages of Fall y’all, and the colors are starting to take a peek. Only a week before the upper elevations in the GSMNP start to fully burst through. The Hummingbirds are still here, also.
And with the crisp air moving in and a fresh load of wood near the fire ring, what better time to visit then now?
A 360-view of the cottage kitchen, but really, we’re all about the view outside — our backyard IS the Great Smoky Mountain National Park!
