Serenity Now

If you are looking for serenity, and who isn't, this is a nice cabin with all the necessities of home in a gated community. Clean and comfortable with and amazing deck, a hiking trail across the street, and Brevard only a few miles away. Both the dog and I enjoyed it and even extended our stay. Great communication with the property owners/managers. Will be back often.

Great cabin and location

My elder brother and I came to fish in the Connestee Falls lakes(4)My wife and I some years back owned a home there and thought my aging brother a big trout fisherman would enjoy a few days fishing. The fishing was outstanding also. The Donaldson owners were gracious and their cabin more than well equipped. A double plus !!

The Perfect Getaway

This lovely cabin is a treasure snuggled up in the mountains. All the comforts of home and many special touches upon arrival. The full back deck offers a perfect place for winding down at the end of the day and enjoying the cool fresh mountain air. When we return to this area we would definitely see if this wonderful cabin is available.

Perfect family retreat

We rented this house for a family thanksgiving trip. The set up was great and Susan was very accommodating to our needs/requests. She was also very communicative during our stay with any concerns or questions we had regarding the property. The surrounding area had plenty to see and do and I would definitely recommend the property to family and friends. Thanks for a wonderful trip.

Beautiful location with resort amenities

Tucked back in the woods and not on the main thoroughfare, this is a lovely place to spend a hot summer. We had access to hiking, golf, clubhouse dining, and other resort-type activities and were just a short drive from the quaint town of Brevard. Lots of deer and other wildlife greeted us right outside the front door. Thank you to Susan and Dave for the opportunity.

Cabin was very cozy and clean!

My husband and I were visiting family members in the area and were so happy that the Donaldsons had their lovely cabin available for our stay. We felt at home immediately and were surprised to find some goodies and a personalized note waiting for us on the counter! The bed was cozy and we slept as well as we do at home. We love the area and were so happy that we were able to stay in Connestee Falls. We will definitely be staying at the Cabin in the mountains again if there is availability. Thanks for the hospitality!

Memorial Day weekend in the mountains

We had a lovely long weekend Susan and Donald's property. Communication was very good and their property was as described. Loved the big deck in the woods which was very peaceful. For adults, the main bed would have been more comfortable if not sagging in the middle. Would also suggest leaving instructions to lock the main door as it's not a conventional lock.

Cabin in the Trees

We just finished a stay at what I call the Cabin in the Trees. In mid-winter the view from the deck was fantastic. I felt like I was in a tree house! This cabin was cozy and as clean as you could ask for. Very well stocked and the hosts were great to deal with. Lots of communication and also lots of info in the cabin on what to do and where to eat. Close to Brevard and lots of hiking trails right in the community. Perfect.

Enjoyed our visit!

My mother, husband and I spent five days here in this beautiful setting. The house is in a very hilly community with amenities but is very private, surrounded by forest. We were very comfortable. The deck was a huge delight any time of the day. We liked being on one level. We enjoyed being within walking distance of a lake. The owners were very welcoming and the house has everything one needs for a short or long stay. Dupont State forest is nearby, and the road to Brevard is short and pleasant. Loved being here!

Beautiful Cabin in the woods

The cabin is adorable, location is what we we’re looking for, secluded and quiet. The trees smelled wonderful, the deck let us enjoy deer, rabbits, squirrels, birds. The cabin literally had everything that you could need away from home. Plush towels, comfy bed, spices, flashlight for our pups midnight potty break. I was impressed with a nice skillet for cooking breakfast! My spouse was impressed with the cookies! We will be back.

About the host

Host profile image
Dave and I bought this cabin strictly for a get away. We retired and loved the area so much we ended up relocating here permanently. We built a home right next door to the cabin that we live in year around so if you need assistance we are next door. The houses are separated by 100yards making the property private for all guests. In the summer, foliage is abundant and blocks each house completely!

Why they chose this property

We lived in New Orleans for 28 years and decided to find a small get a way from the summer heat, hurricane season and to view the fall foliage. We looked in North Carolina and decided on a subdivision which offers us a gated community for security especially when we were 600 miles away from the property.

What makes this property unique

You would not have to leave the area except for grocery shopping if you want to take advantage of peace and quiet and just enjoy nature. We are located at the end of a long street making traffic almost non existent. We have hiking, waterfalls, fishing, swimming, clubhouse, golf course, tennis, pickleball, playground, small beach at one of the parks on the lake, boating, picnicking etc. Swimming is allowed in all for lakes. A fishing license is required but children under 16 aren’t required to do so. Please call us when obtaining a license, 864-354-1702 (Susan’s cell)
