About this property

Cottage at DuPont State Forest - Across from REEB Ranch - Mountain Biking Mecca

We welcome you to our cozy cottage in the woods. It is located 2 miles from the visitor center of DuPont State Forest and just across Dupont Road from REEB Ranch. We are 8.5 miles from the entrance to Pisgah National Forest. The Cottage at DuPont is perfect for a weekend away or a place to hang after you ride the trails. The cottage is above our detached garage and has it's own private entrance. You may hear my husband or my kids open a garage door but beyond that the cabin is all yours. We do have a security camera outside of the cottage to see who comes into the driveway.

The Cottage at DuPont is craftsman style with reclaimed wood floors. You will love how at home you feel the moment you step inside. You will enjoy a full kitchen, small kitchen table, Keurig, sofa, TV, separate bedroom, with large closet and full bathroom.

We ask that you park at the end of the driveway by the basketball goal. If you are loading/unloading, the weather is bad, or arriving late at night it is ok to park by the cottage door. Please do not park in front of our garage doors as we use our garage.

We have a very large, fluffy dog. His name is Choco. As of summer 2021 he will be 1 year old. Hey may bark but Choco has no enemies. He has never met a person or animal he doesn't like. He's very friendly and would not hurt a soul. We NEVER let him in the cottage. We generally make sure Choco is not outside when guests are outside, but on occasion he finds people.

Great, stay!

If you are a Mountainbiker planning to bike Dupont, the location could not be better. Adjacent to Dupont, Brevard is 15-20 minutes drive . The upstairs apartment is perfect for a Single person or a couple. Nice kitchen, bedroom, bathroom and living space, very comfortable, plenty of room. wi-fi is excellent. Very clean and comfortable and quiet. Host family lives in adjacent house are wonderful people with beautiful children and a happy dog! Great experience. Highly recommended.

It was like being in the middle of a peaceful forest!

This above-garage apartment is delightful! It was very clean, comfortable, and convenient to many restaurants and breweries. Every window had a beautiful view of nothing but trees, ferns, mountain laurel, and it was so peaceful. We never saw nor heard the homeowners and they were very gracious to not even park in the garage, despite pouring rain, so we didn’t even hear a garage door. We will definitely stay again when we are visiting family in the area. I highly recommend.

Great secluded location

The property is in a great location just far enough outside of town that you feel like you’re in a private mountainside cottage but still close enough that quick trips aren’t a hassle. The property itself is great and I had no issues. Just be aware that cell service is very spotty and the provided wifi can be slow at times.

Perfect in Every Way

Our plan was to hike and explore the DuPont Recreational Area when we sought out a place to stay the weekend. The location could not be more perfect. It is just a few miles from all of the trailheads for the most prominent waterfalls in DuPont, as well as numerous other trails. This spotless clean, cozy garage apartment is "away from it all" but is about equal distance from Brevard and Hendersonville for those that might want a little more to do in the evenings than just relax in the quiet. It is also an easy drive from the Asheville airport for those that might want to fly in and rent a car. The owners are a delightful young couple who treat you like guests and make your visit so simple.

Everything and more

This cabin was amazing! It had everything you needed it felt like we lived there. My husband kept joking about asking to buy it 😂 it’s in a perfect location with ice cream/hiking a few miles down the road and downtown brevard is about 15 mins from here. The views in and out of town to the cabin are beautiful. I will say one thing that might help some is that this is about 2 hours from the blue ridge parkway. We didn’t book this cabin for that reason but, there’s not direct way to get there when we attempted it. We saw white squirrels and ate at the piscgah fish camp! The hosts are VERY friendly and their cat is so stinkin cute saying hi everyday. All in all if I could give it 100 stars I would 😃

Perfect place for DuPont and Pisgah

Very clean and a perfect location for hiking and biking. Five minutes from DuPont (and Ridgeline!). Fifteen from Pisgah. Close to Brevard and Hendersonville. Not too far from Asheville. Close to apple orchards for fall trips and you can get to the BRP without too much trouble. This will be our first choice for NC trips. Kitchen had everything we needed. Communication was great. A very comfortable and quiet space. Pictures and description are accurate. You could do a lot worse than the cottage. I don’t think you’ll find much better!
