About this property

Rustic and Sophisticated Accommodation

This rustic and sophisticated cabin is nestled on a mountainside near the French Broad River. It is located on nine private acres secluded from the Partridge Hill main house where the owners live. Partridge Hill was once owned by the author Hamilton Basso who was a close friend of Thomas Wolfe. Wolfe and Basso spent many hours on Partridge Hill and would love the inviting ambience of the cabin known as The Partridge Nest. The cabin features two queen-sized bedrooms and two full baths with an additional sleeping area in the cozy writers loft. Amenities include a beautiful and well-stocked kitchen, dining area, wood-burning fireplace, and a full screened porch with a mountain view. The interior design is comfortable, inviting, and mountain inspired.

An ideal get-away spot, the cabin is secluded yet only four miles from Brevard where there are fine restaurants, the Brevard Music Center, Brevard College, and many great shops. The Pisgah National
Forest is just minutes away from your front door and offers some of the finest hiking, rock climbing, and fly fishing in the East. Majestic waterfalls are all around the area as well. The Brevard Music Center is renowned nationwide for it's summer musical presentations and it's students typically go on to major careers in music. Keith Lockhart is the artistic director and principal conductor.

You will forget time as you sit on the old-fashioned porch swing enjoying the mountain view or reading a book in the cozy loft. You will return to the real world rested, renewed and looking forward to your next visit to The Partridge Nest.

The Partridge Nest was featured in the February 2018 issue of OUR STATE magazine in North Carolina. There are several pictures and a very informative story.

Our stay was everything promised and more. The house was secluded and quiet yet only a short distance from town so you had the best of both worlds. Charlie and Jean were very quick to respond to any questions we had. I appreciated their help with directions and local information. This was my first time booking a VRBO and I was very pleased. I would definitely stay here again.

Hiking with hubby

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this amazing cabin! Rustic yet classy. So comfy! Awesome screened porch. Close to Brevard and short drive to all the hiking areas. Charlie was super helpful, especially in explaining the driveway up...slow and steady and it’s all good.

Incredible Rustic Experience!

Don't search anywhere else. This is the place. We've stayed at many 4-start and 5-star VRBOs and if you're looking for a rustic, peaceful getaway, this is the place! Interior decor and layout is incredible. Very private. Perfect for a writer. Screened porch and no bugs. Great fireplace! We've already booked a return visit in 2 weeks! The owners, Charlie and Gene, are wonderful. Trust me, book this cabin. You'll love it!

Tranquil, Peaceful, and beautiful Mountain cabin

This cabin is simply amazing. Literally, the only negative was that we only had it for one night, but we definitely made the most of it. The cabin is decorated beautifully, and feels exactly as a mountain cabin should. The porch swing and the view of the mountains with a glass of wine at night and a cup of coffee the next morning, was everything my soul needed. It is so close to downtown but feels secluded. Close enough to many activities too. Even though we were only there for a night, we were able to tube down the river, go to a nice dinner, and then get up the next morning for hiking to see the waterfalls (there are many different places to choose). Would have loved to stay a week ,and would have never tired of anything, but we were able to make the most out of a short weekend. Cannot say enough. Hope to be back soon!

Exceptional property

We spent a weekend at this cabin when we took our youngest to his camp drop-off and picked our oldest up from his - this location was ideal: very close to Brevard which is a really neat town, but also “away” enough that it is private and has a mountain retreat feel. The cabin itself is an absolute gem - it’s beautifully and comfortably decorated - very cozy in its “feel” while also providing “elbow room” for a family The back porch was an ideal spot to enjoy my coffee in the morning and a glass of wine at night. We met one of our hosts when he came to say hello and make sure we were comfortable; we loved chatting with him and appreciate his taking the time to be a true “host” and offer lovely Southern gracious hospitality to us. We truly enjoyed ever moment of being there and we will return! If you’re thinking about this one, book it!!!!! You will not be disappointed!

A Little Slice of Heaven

This cabin was a wonderful find! It has everything you need and then some! We really enjoyed the mountain views from the porch swing, watching the light change the shapes of the mountains as the sun set. It's close to Brevard and great hiking. We are already planning a return trip!

Mom and Daughters Weekend Away

We were all meeting up to celebrate our Mother’s birthday and have a quick relaxing get away. The cabin was exactly what we needed and were hoping for! As soon as we walked in we loved all the details and charm of a cabin that somehow made you feel like you were home. Close to Brevard and all of the great trails to hike. We are already looking forward to a return visit. The owners were so nice and welcoming. The perfect place for a mountain trip!

Perfect Mountain Getaway

We learned about this particular cabin from a write-up in a local magazine and decided that it would be a great spot to get away after a busy holiday season. Partridge Nest and its host, Charlie, made for a great experience! Charlie provided great directions and tips on how best to find the cabin and navigate the turn up to the house. The cabin itself was fully furnished with everything necessary for a winter stay, including all the wood stacked and ready for a fire after hiking all day. The cabin is conveniently located for easy access to Brevard, Asheville and all the restaurants and breweries in the area. We will be back again for another stay!

We will definitely stay here again. We have been coming to Brevard for a couple of years but branched out to stay in a house this time. The hosts were absolutely fantastic. The house was a home that was well stocked and comfortable. It provided anything we could ask for.

Far away but close to town.

The house was tucked away so much so that you felt that you were in the middle of nowhere, but really only a few minutes away from town. Enjoyed the house because of the rustic feel to it and overall layout. Will definitely book again.

Amazing NC Mountain Cabin

We rented the Partridge Nest and took our family of 5 (2 adults and 3 children under the age of 7) for a Thanksgiving getaway to the Brevard area for a couple of days. Communication with the Brendles was great and they had the cabin prepped and ready for us upon arrival. Charlie stopped by to show us a few things about the cabin and even made a special trip to bring us some firewood for our stay. We visited downtown Brevard, Asheville, and Pisgah National Forest in our 2-1/2 days there, all of which were very accessible from the property. It was such a lovely place to come home to after very busy days with kids and have a fire and enjoy the views and the quiet. We will definitely be back likely in the summer to enjoy all of the warm weather activity and scenery that Pisgah has to offer. Thank you Charlie and Jean...it was wonderful!

The Partridge Nest

We had a very enjoyable stay. The cabin was very cozy and well maintained and decorated with many antiques throughout. We will definitely stay there again. The owners were very nice and accommodating and gave very good details of a variety of things like locking the door a certain way. Thank you for opening your sweet cabin to us.

Wonderful stay!

Beautiful little cabin nestled on a hillside overlooking the French Broad and mountains, just 10min out of Brevard. The inside has been so thoughtfully decorated with love, it feels much more like a nice inn/B&B than a “cabin”. We spent much time on the screen porch, watching the morning mist lift to unveil the hills and mountains, and later seeing the sun drop behind the highest peak. Charlie was very accessible, helpful and friendly. We hope to be back.

Loved our girl’s weekend at this delightful mountain home. The owners have taken great care in giving this mountain retreat a vintage cabin vibe with all of the comforts of home.

Beautiful home!

We absolutely loved our stay at this cabin. The owner was so accommodating after a one day delay in our arrival date. He was quick to respond and kept me well informed. The cabin was beyond our expectations. It was cozy, spotless and beautifully decorated. Every touch was done with love…from unique and whimsical pieces to a wonderful collection of books to browse through, my particular favorite was the cat book! The location was excellent for trips to Brevard, Hendersonville, Asheville and local waterfall hikes. Everything was perfect! I will going back for sure!!
