About this property

Surrounded by the Land of Waterfalls, and located between the Pisgah National Forest to the west and DuPont State Forest to the east, this updated 'Acorn Deck' style home offers truly majestic and sweeping views of the Blue Ridge Parkway. Find Looking Glass Rock. At night, under a spectacular starlit sky, see the lonely lights glowing out of the wilderness at the Pisgah Inn. Sit back in the therapeutic hot tub and take in the quiet solitude of our 2.8 acre mountain retreat . Enjoy the sound of our landscaped babbling creek. Step back in time in Brevard’s beautiful and historic downtown located just minutes from this mountain getaway. Staying with us awhile longer? Visit Asheville, Hendersonville, Greenville, or Waynesville, all less than an hour’s drive away. Hike, bike, swim, kayak or just relax. This home offers all the creature comforts you expect and access to more activities than you’ll have time for. You’ll just have to come back next year! Note: $100 PET FEE.

Perfect little getaway!

Our friends and I had an amazing time at the Acorn Retreat! The house was very well stocked with essentials, very clean, and you can’t beat the views. Such a relaxing stay. Hope to make it back in the future. Thank you Juan and Carmen!

Wonderful Family House

The property was absolutely amazing! I believe this was the best VRBO property I have ever had the opportunity to stay at. The kitchen was more than stocked with everything that was needed to cook any type of meal. The weather was not ideal (rainy), but we took advantage of the lovely fireplace. I don't normally travel with dogs, but my son brought along his for one night and I couldn't believe the dog-friendly amenities that were provided. I hope all those who stay here with dogs follow the rules so that it is not ruined for others traveling with their beloved pet. We had a wonderful time and Brevard was a total surprise and delight. We will definitely come again if the opportunity presents itself. Thank you to the hosts of Acorn's Retreat!

Happily Returned

Since we enjoyed our last visit over a year ago, we returned and continued to experience a great stay with our dog. The house is clean, comfortable and well prepped for everything we could have wanted. The neighborhood is quiet and excellent for dog walks. You definitely are living amongst the wildlife. Deer and white squirrels are spotted daily. Really dark at night, so the stars were beautiful to see on the back porch. Even saw shooting stars and satellites. Experienced no issues with the WiFi. Good location to downtown, Pisgah and DuPont and within ~1hr drive to almost everything (from Highlands to Lake Lure). The Christmas lights downtown were cute. Favorite return eateries, Cedar Mountain Cafe and Blue Ridge Bakery.

Peaceful mountain getaway

We have stayed at this property many times over several years and return again for the peaceful setting with beautiful views of Pisgah Mountains. We love the privacy and the relaxed vibe of the neighborhood that is easy access to Brevard, Hendersonville, Dupont Forest, Davidson River areas. The owners are very gracious hosts who maintain a clean and safe property. Wished we could have stayed longer!
