Very comfortable home base for our stay in mountains. The kitchen is adequate for cooking most anything and there is a grill although we didn’t use it.We took a few waterfall hikes in DuPont and Pisgah forest and of course had to stop by sliding rock. Ran out of time to visit Cradle of Forestry but I think it would be interesting. Enjoyed several restaurants in Brevard including The Square Root, Corky’s Dog house and Pisgah Bakehouse.Location is very quiet as distant from traffic noise but still very accessible to everything in area. This is our second stay in property and we would stay again when visiting area.

Even though you will see other homes on the drive up, once you arrive, you will settle in to the peace and quiet of this home surrounded by trees and beauty. The home is comfortable and lovely - the arrowhead collection alone is amazing - but the beauty of the property and feeling like there are no neighbors is magical. This was just what we needed. Thank you.

Beautiful and immaculate cabin in the woods... Easy drive to Dupont State Forest and Pisquah National Forest for hiking which was the purpose of our trip... The waterfalls are beautiful! Also, not far from downtown Brevard for shops and restaurants! Sandra, the host was always available and very helpful... Wonderful working fireplace for chilly evenings. Property itself is lush and green with both a front and a back porch. What else could you ask for! We will definitely return here if we are in the area again. Would highly recommend this property.

We came into town over the weekend for my brother's wedding in Brevard. We picked this cabin for its dog friendliness and affordability. The only downside was realizing we couldnt use the upstairs shower because it leaks into the smoke detector in the celing below which caused a noisy chaotic start to our first morning.

Response from VrboOwner on 7 April 2026
I'm so sorry that you had to deal with the smoke detector going off. Unfortunately you spilled water on the outside of the shower and water did go into the smoke detector which caused the problem. I have since had the smoke detector disconnected close to the shower and had a new one put in downstairs further away from the shower so that this won't happen again.

The host was an absolute pleasure to communicate with and got back to me quickly anytime I had a question. The home is stunning and the indoor fireplace a dream. We did struggle with keeping hot water going in the shower with two individual back to back showers. Overall, we would recommend this cabin and would gladly stay again.

I'm sorry that you ran out of hot water while taking a shower, but out of the 14 years of renting my cabin, you are the first to report this predicament. My hot water heater was also just replaced two years ago, so it should be in good working order .

About the host

Hosted by Sandra Whitaker

Host profile image
Thirteen years ago we bought 13 acres of land to build a cabin to vacation in with plans to later build a small retirement home and use the cabin as quest quarters. When we ended up building a larger house than planned, we decided to rent out the cabin.

Don is a retired Cardiologist, and Sandra is a retired teacher. We have hiked this area for over 30 years and knew that we would want to spend the rest of our lives here.

While we genuinely love hiking, Don is passionate about taking pictures of wild flower and nature, and Sandra is very active at Brevard Health & Racquet Club.

It’s great being able to walk out our door with our dogs to so many beautiful trails. There is so much wild life to discover.
