We had a fantastic week staying at Twin Peaks. Perfect location for hiking and waterfalls. Views are incredible, very clean, we will come back again next year.
Perfect house for family gatherings, lots of room to be comfortable inside and outside, well equipped, gorgeous Mountain View’s. Claudia was gracious and responsive. Have stayed there twice and hope to again !
Very nice mountain house, great views, very roomy, fully equipped- highly recommend and bring 4 wheel drive to get to the house. Topside view well worth it.
This property is a 11 out 10. So quiet and secluded. The house was clean and well equipped. Lots of wild life, spectacular Mountain View’s and lots of space for everyone. Absolutely need all wheel or 4 wheel drive to get up the driveway. Thank you Claudia!!
Amazing home! Amazing view. So close to our favorite fishing spots!
Close to everything, absolutely most beautiful view! Home is amazing. Found a hole in the wall restaurant, Th Back Porch….five stars to them as well! Amazing food! Thanks Leland and Claudia for sharing your home! You were incredibly pleasant to meet and so helpful.
Phenomenal views from the house decks. So very nice to eat meals on the deck either first thing in the AM or as the sun was setting. Claudia was great, answering any questions we had. The house was even better than the pictures showed. Just a great place to come back too after a day of hiking to waterfall, whitewater rafting, or Mt. biking!!!
Best rental yet!!! Everything you need is in this house. The host did the right thing setting up this house. The kitchen is stocked perfectly! I highly recommend renting this house or the one bedroom house on the property. You will not be disappointed.
We really enjoyed our stay. The driveway is as steep as noted, but we had no issues in our 4WD vehicle. The house was exactly as described. We went with our 4 adult children (and our dogs) and enjoyed having the two separate common areas. The house was spacious and well appointed. The views from the porches are gorgeous!
Great place for seclusion with short travel to activities
Really enjoyed our stay at the top of the mountain. Beautiful views. Short trips to hiking and Brevard and Asheville. Good owner communication and assistance. New home with great amenities. 4 wheel drive needed to access. Thanks Claudia.
This home was located in beautiful private spot in the Brevard Mountains with awesome views. The home has beautiful layout inside and my kids had fun playing the games provided. It’s a short distance to down town Brevard. The owners were quickly responsive to any needs or questions. Home was stocked with all the things you may need in kitchen and bathrooms. I would definitely stay there again!
Our family spent a delightful Thanksgiving week at this spacious lodge. The house boasts amazing views and 3 floors with excellent bedrooms and superb bathrooms. We cooked a full Thanksgiving meal in the kitchen, played games on the wraparound porches, and enjoyed the many televisions and additional comforts. It boasts the biggest shower we have ever seen! (4 wheel drive not optional!)
When renting home properties, there are 3 most important things to me, cleanliness, kitchen accutrements and pillows/beds. Twin Peaks is exceptionally clean, the kitchen is well outfitted and the beds comfy. More pillows would be great. We enjoyed the property very much. We didn't enjoy being so far away from town. We also didn't like the lack of cell service. No fault of the property but it caused problems trying to communicate with our group. As everyone has mentioned, all wheel or 4 wheel drive is a necessity
My husband and I vacation with my daughters family which included three grandchildren. It was such an enjoyable and memorable time. Brevard is a quaint beautiful town and its proximity to Pisgah national forest allowed for many activities. We did not have one single boring day. The house was extremely comfortable, very neat and conveniently located with beautiful views. There is a steep incline to the house but if you have the right vehicle it isn’t a problem.
This three-story home sits on top of a mountain with 360° views! It’s perfectly clean and is well stocked with everything you need. We stayed for a week and did a lot of mountain biking and hiking. It’s a 10 minute drive into Brevard as it takes time to get up and down the mountains. There is an extremely steep and long driveway that is not for the faint of heart but the view at the top is worth it. Communication with the owner was excellent. I highly recommend it.
4WD/AWD a must to get to house even before getting to driveway, thankful that is in description! Home was incredibly comfortable for our 5 adult kids, each couple had their own floor of house + dogs. Views are spectacular from both sides of home! Thankful for my able-bodied husband who was able to move a tree to side of road that fell on way to house. It's important to realize that house is remote, but incredibly worth experiencing the beauty of Transylvania County! We couldn't get enough of the waterfalls, downtown Brevard, Ashville & icecream @ Dolly's. Grilled some meals at house as well. Shout out to "Twin Peaks" for an awesome stay!
We stayed with a family of six for 3 weeks in Dec. The house was very clean, comfortable and stocked with everything we needed. All the appliances worked great as well as the heat and fireplace. Claudia and Leland were wonderful and very helpful. They were quick to respond and great hosts.
The views from the house are tremendous...best we've seen in the Carolinas. Wrap around porch for outstanding 360 views. The location is also perfectly secluded but not too far from Brevard for shopping.
The only minor things others may want to consider is the driveway and internet. The driveway is pretty well maintained but long and very steep. Highly recommend a 4WD. We made it in a 2WD car but didn't use it every day. The internet is DSL and caps out at 5-7 Mbps. Tough for video calls or multiple connections, but it could be done. But given the remote location and the fact it's a vacation home it hardly detracts from the overall experience.
Overall 5-stars and we highly recommend this location. Thank you again for a wonderful stay.
The house is way beyond what the pictures show. It has a commanding, 360 degree, penthouse-style view of its surrounding world. You can watch sunrise and sundown from the same spot, in or out of the house. The view is dizzying and breathtaking. Every room in
the main living space on the second floor has large windows, so there are spectacular vistas wherever you look. The wrap-around deck outside the second floor offers even better sight lines, plus lots of recliners to sit in to enjoy the endless vistas.
Star watching is easy: just look up, the remote location means there is no ambient background light to wash out the view of the crisp night sky, jam-packed with stars.
The room interiors are all natural wood and knotty pine, wi-fi is strong, the kitchen is well appointed and well stocked. I can’t think of a single thing that needs to be done to make this place better.
It is easy to get to the Blue Ridge Parkway, national and state parks, and Brevard (which has a nice farmers market on Saturdays).
As their advertisement states, it is accessible only by 4-wheel drive vehicles. They are not kidding. Access is seemingly straight up the last 1/3 mile, over a very rocky, windy, one lane
drive. We navigated both up and down the driveway in first gear, with 4 wheel drive engaged, going slowly, and gingerly steering around the more imposing adjacent rocks and boulders. It was worth the challenge. (There is a parking spot at the bottom of the drive for others, but it is a hike up the driveway.)
This is a beautiful home with amazing views of the mountains. Claudia is a wonderful host and very attentive to anything you may need. Very clean and comfortable. Lots of stairs....I do not recommend it for small children or older adults who have a hard time with stairs. Everything about the driveway is true.....but the views are worth it!
We enjoyed our stay. The house is quiet and comfortable, Claudia is easy to work with and the views are beautiful. Even with the July heat, we enjoyed breakfasts and dinners on the north deck. We loved watching sunrises, sunsets, and the night sky. We hiked, fished, went to the Biltmore House, and toured Brevard. It is a great location and wonderful home. We hope to return and have already recommended it to friends.
Hands down, this is an amazing property. The views are spectacular, and the location is so convenient to a wide range of activities. The entire family commented the day after we returned from the trip that they wished they were back, and I don't think that's ever happened before!
The mountain lodge was our home base for a variety of activities, including hiking, waterfall visits, hanging out river-side, shopping, visiting brew-pubs, and eating out. It is 10-15 minutes drive from Brevard, where there are great shops, restaurants, and cultural activities. Pisgah National Forest is just north of Brevard and has amazing fly fishing, hiking, and waterfalls. Reece Place Falls is a couple of miles down East Fork Road, and Gorges State Park outside Sapphire is about as wild as it gets.
The house is well provisioned. We had a family member cook us a four-star restaurant quality, six-course meal in the kitchen with space for everyone, We had 4WD and AWD vehicles and both got up the driveway just fine. We didn't try the other car, but parking spaces were fine at the bottom of the hill. Can't recommend enough!

About the host
Hosted by CLAUDIA ADAMS
We are the Adams, Leland and Claudia. We were both born in North Carolina and after college moved away. Claudia's brother, BW (Buster Worley) purchased the mountain property and before finishing the mountain home, died of cancer. We purchased the site and finished the building late 2014. We love the property and the fine memories of my brother.
Why they chose this property
Every day brings a different and beautiful view of the Blue Ridge Mountains of both NC to the North and SC to the South. Come rain, shine, sleet or snow, it is heaven on "Bow Mountain". Lots of good hiking choices. Close by: Reece Place Falls. It's only 3/4 mile from the cabin as the crow flies (2.5 miles by car down East Fork plus the mile hike). A really beautiful fall with low traffic.
What makes this property unique
We welcome you to share our mountain home where you can relax, hike, shop and enjoy the beautiful mountains of NC. Our kitchen is stocked with condiments, paper products, seasonings, coffee, filters and baggies, plastic wrap and foil. We hope you enjoy your stay.
