Hiking

There are so many amazing hiking trails in the area. Some of our favorites:
Dupont State Forest

If some light hiking and waterfalls are what you're looking for, then Dupont State Forest should be your destination. This is where we first took Lola for a hike after she came into our lives. Bonus: It's also where the first Hunger Games movie was filmed!

Frying Pan

This is a nice short hike up an easy forest service road to a lookout tower. 1.5 miles roundtrip, with 360 degree views at the top.

Black Balsam

Some of the most popular hiking in the area. This can be a short out-and-back, or a nice loop. Choose your own adventure!

Looking Glass

Venture down to our little town of Brevard to check out this more strenuous hike to the top of one of the most unique and iconic geographic features of our area. A great 6.5 mile hike.

Art Loeb

If you're going to be spending more than just the weekend in the area and are looking for a challenge, you can give the 30.1-mile Art Loeb trail a try. We've done it twice now, taking 3 days/2 nights each time to backpack it. Let us know if this is up your alley and we'll share some valuable advice about confusing intersections and water sources!

What a great stay!

Loved the house and loved Brevard! The house is just as nice as all the other reviews indicate - great location as well just outside the downtown area with all the shops and restaurants within easy walking distance. My wife and I were there for 6 nights and never ran out of things to see and do. If you're looking for a great place to stay in Brevard, this is the place

Small Families Brevard Basecamp

We had a great time at Susie's house. It was right downtown, which was convenient for exploring, but also meant it was right on the main road. The noise machines in the bedrooms came in handy for drowning out the constant road noise. The house fit our little family well and we loved the front porch.

We stayed here for a wedding. We were comfortable and had loads of extra amenities that we usually don't get. Really appreciated that. The home is plenty roomy and beds too. We loved bring able to walk to town for shopping, food and homemade chocolate. Yummy. Highly recommend this location and home.

About the host

Hosted by Susie Wells

Host profile image
My husband Gary and I met in Brevard 30 years ago. We have been renovating homes in and around Brevard for the last 23 years. This Vacation Rental: The Brown Eyed Susie is fondly named after me. We both enjoy bringing back to life homes that have been neglected and somewhat 'remuddled' This one has heart and the benefit of being walking distance to the wonderful town of Brevard.

Why they chose this property

We actually looked to buy this home many years ago...It needed so much work that we shied away. When it came on the market again, at a price that would allow us to do the necessary work, we jumped. We have added three closets, a half bath, laundry room, changed location of a bedroom and kitchen, rebuilt back porch, opened up walls for space, replaced floor joists, replaced floor in kitchen and mud porch, relocated parking from back to front of house, all without adding any square footage (same footprint) ....It worked...whew!!! Time for a vacation!

What makes this property unique

Walking distance to town, library and parks. Comfort and character of an old home, Big front porch with swing and extra seating.
