About this property

Incredible fenced in dog friendly cottage in downtown Brevard with hot tub!

This dreamy downtown Cottage is perfect with its location downtown yet secluded vibe! It is on a beautiful lot with abundant privacy landscaping and a large front yard that's fenced-in for pets! Located in the Lumber Arts District of Brevard, it is perfectly situated for easy walking access to all Brevard has to offer. Highlights include a twin size swinging bed on the porch, an outdoor fire pit, an awesome indoor wood-stove, and a private hot tub!

The Cottage was fully remodeled in 2009 and is both comfortable and functional. Enjoy coffee on the porch while listening to the local birds and spotting White Squirrels! And there is a private hot tub! (Please note If you wish to use the hot tub there is a $25 maintenance fee per reservation. Just contact Gareth if you wish to use the tub)

The cottage is at the back of the property. The front bungalow is our other vacation rental. These charming historic homes were lovingly restored and updated in 2009 by Parker Platt, a leading local architect. The cottage features a vaulted ceiling open floor plan great room, and maple floors. The bathroom features a glass door tile shower with 2 heads. There is a washing machine/dryer for your use. A highlight is also a new fully fenced in yard for pets. FINE HOMEBUILDING magazine featured the restoration of these homes in a 2012 edition. Here you will find all the comforts of home including a smart TV, and fully equipped kitchen. Our 1910 Craftsman Cottage has one main bedroom with a deluxe king bed made from organic cashmere and a very comfy couch in the living room plus a fold out floor mattress that can be used in the vaulted ceiling great room. There is one full-size bathroom, a fully equipped gourmet kitchen, great room, large front porch with bar table for work/eating and even a twin bed porch swing for reading, napping, or even a place to spend the night on mild evenings!

HOT TUB: open for guest use ONLY Oct 1-May 31.

The front yard is fully fenced in and we do allow dogs to come on your vacation but we ask you please let us know as there will be a pet fee of $25/night for up to 2 pets and $15/night for each additional after. Please notify Gareth that you are bringing your furry friend and arrange to pay the pet fee.

If your dog enjoys getting on the furniture, please bring their favorite blanket or sheet to cover. And of course PLEASE pick up after your pet.

No smoking inside or on the porch, please use the picnic tables in the yard,

Gareth or the housekeeping manager Perry are always available. Just send us a text, email or give us a text or call.

My stay at the Red Cottage exceeded all of my expectations. The house is charming and cozy, and the hosts really put a lot of thought into all of the details that make a space comfortable for their guests. It's also walking distance to lots of great restaurants, bars and grocery stores. I can't wait to come back!

Didn’t use any of the amenities listed, but directions for their use was clear and if one had issues, the owner’s contact number was available.I liked its location. I was there to do some hiking and it was located close to what I wanted to do. It was also a short walk to downtown and the college.I’d stay there again.

About the host

Hosted by Gareth Tate

Host profile image
I am Gareth and I own the Session Chalet. I am a long-time Brevard local. I am a professional whitewater kayaker, avid mountain biker, skier, and fly fisherman. I have 2 other homes in Brevard that I rent. My goal is to make these houses truly unique and to provide my guests with a very special experience while visiting my favorite place on earth. Make sure to check out my other Brevard listings: THE RED BUNGALOW and THE RED COTTAGE. I live with Rhodo, my 30 lb. pup, either in Brevard, NC or Victor, Idaho, when not traveling for work or adventures. In addition to running these rentals, I also operate SESSION STUDIOS, my outdoor adventure videography business.

Why they chose this property

The Lumber Arts Neighborhood is the locals downtown. Just blocks away from bike shop, restaurants, coffee shops, live music, bike/walking path, it's the heart of Brevard.

What makes this property unique

Beautiful landscaping and private feel make this a place you will want to return too. And a totally private hot tub!
