Spectacular home!
Absolutely spectacular home & setting! Loved the beautiful, spacious house & the fire pit outside. Only complaint is that the directions were wrong & sent us north instead of south once we got to Brevard, into a national forest to a closed dirt road. The directions also said not to use a GPS, but that was the only way we could get to the property since the property management company couldn’t give us correct directions when we called. GPS was fine for getting us there, and it turned out to be more than worth the trouble of getting there.

Lovely!
Three girlfriends & I stayed at Pisgah Forest Retreat for 4 nights in August. We frequently travel together & always rent from VRBO. This house is among the most comfortable & well-maintained we've stayed in. We like to cook, and the kitchen had everything we needed - including grilling utensils. We really enjoyed relaxing on both the front porch & the screened porch - especially watching the sunset and the the bats come out at dusk. The beds & linens were very comfortable. Among our favorite things were the bazillion butterflies that greeted us on the butterfly bushes when we returned home after a day of hiking. Magistical!!

Great Property, Dismal Property Manager
Our experience with Yonder, the property manager, was horrible. We were provided with the wrong code for the lockbox, and it took over an hour of phone calls, emails, and multiple Yonder employees to finally get it resolved. It delayed the start of our vacation, and our frustration was met with delays, rudeness, and Yonder employees that were not empathetic to the situation, nor eager to resolve the issue. I will avoid homes managed by this company. The good news, the property is just as beautiful as it shows in the listing. Spacious, well appointed, peaceful setting with great views and a spectacular porch with fireplace. A great home, but the property manager made it a bad experience.
