Wonderful stay at cabin. Very clean with all necessities available. Location was just what we were hoping for, surrounded by the forest. Loved the wrap around porch. This one will stay on our list for a return visit.
Very nice cabin. We'll equipped with very comfortable beds and everything you could need in the kitchen. Very secluded if that's what you are looking for. The deck is amazing. Our only complaint was the left over smell from the wood burning fireplace. Partially burnt logs were left in it but even after we took them out it still smelled smokey
Very clean and comfortable cabin. Quiet and peaceful location. Directions were very easy to follow. The little snacks left by host were nice touch. Would definitely rent again
The 360 views are amazing! This is our first time renting Bear Mountain as we usually stay at the adjacent property. We love the accessibility, tranquility, and privacy the cabins provide. While both properties are dog friendly, the wrap-around porch was a win for our pup. With the gates provided, he ran laps around the deck. The property offers more amenities than most and we appreciate the fully stocked kitchen. Having the laundry on-site is a plus as well! We loved spending our days hiking and biking, picking up lunch from town, and then spending the rest of the afternoon and evenings outside on the spacious deck and grilling for dinner. We are looking forward to a return trip!
Loved staying in this cabin nestled in the trees! Loved the rustic feel, but with all the modern conveniences. Very close to downtown Brevard, the college and outdoor activities. Will recommend this place to stay!
This secluded mountain getaway was only a short drive from Brevard. The property was spacious, clean, cozy, and fully stocked with everything we needed. I'd like to give a special shoutout to the wrap around deck: we honestly spent most of our time there. I would highly recommend this property to anyone looking for a secluded place to stay in the Brevard/Pisgah forest area.
The home was beautifully decorated and very cozy. We really enjoyed the wood-burning fireplace and feeling secluded in the woods. We had everything we needed and had a great time!
We had a wonderful weeklong stay at the cabin! There were several thoughtful touches not always found in other rentals- handsoap at all sinks, dish and laundry detergent, snacks and plenty of paper goods. The house was very clean and comfortable. Beautiful views from the covered porch. We were able to have a fire almost every night and appreciated getting extra firewood mid week. The property host Mandi was quickly responsive to any messages and very helpful. Friends stayed 1 night in the Moonshine Cabin - again, very comfortable for them as well.
The cabin and location was perfect for what we were looking for. Something secluded and near the forest, and not far from lots of hiking. Absolutely perfect place to come back to in the evenings to rest up for more adventures during the day
We came as a small group of friends to mountain bike in Pisgah and Dupont, and this cabin was perfect for us! The cabin was only a 10-minute drive to the Hub and about 20 minutes to most of the main trails we biked and hiked. We really enjoyed relaxing in the mornings and evenings out on the deck. It is incredibly scenic at the home, and with our stay being in mid-October, it was peak leaf peeping season! The kitchen was really well equipped and the house had lots of supplies that really make a big difference. Would highly recommend to others!

About the host

Why they chose this property
We chose to purchase rental property in the Brevard area due to its proximity to the beautiful scenery, wildlife, outdoor activities (i.e., hiking, fly-fishing, rock climbing, and bike riding, etc.) available in the hundreds of acres of state and national forest in the Blue Ridge Mountains. In addition, Brevard is a charming Appalachian town that offers a thriving music and arts community, as well as fantastic shopping and dining.
What makes this property unique
While a mere 10-15 minute drive to wonderful downtown Brevard area, visitors to this cabin will enjoy a private, secluded haven complete with astonishing views, a beautiful setting atop Mine Mountain, and the potential to see a large variety of the wildlife indigenous to this region (including the unusual white squirrels Brevard is known for).
