About this property

Honeybee Haven, 2 BD Cottage with Beautiful Garden

Step into the allure of Honeybee Haven, a cottage embraced by trees. It's your ideal mountain retreat for the ultimate getaway! Our gardens are a perpetual burst of color, inviting you to witness the birds, butterflies, and our own honeybee hive. Nestled conveniently between Pisgah National Forest and Dupont State Forest, with hiking and biking trails at your doorstep, this is your haven for outdoor bliss. Come, immerse yourself in the beauty and adventure of our mountain town! 

 We've designed Honeybee Haven with our guests in mind. Each bed is comfortable with quality linens. You’ll find thoughtful touches throughout to make you really feel at home. Craft meals in our full kitchen after a day of exploring and cozy up with a book on our covered porch and swing! Brevard and Hendersonville are the closest towns and just a short drive away. Board games are also available, as well as a TV with an Amazon Firestick and Wi-Fi. Fully fenced yard if you have a dog!  You will have access to the whole house, including the laundry room with a washer and dryer.   The driveway is steep going up to the house. It goes all the way around the house and is very narrow. I’ve driven a Toyota Tacoma all the way around but wouldn’t recommend it. If you have anything larger or longer than a standard SUV, I would advise parking in front of or under the carport so you can back out when leaving.  

Please message us if you need anything during your stay. We are locals in this area and have knowledge of the best hiking trails, mountain bike trails, waterfalls, overlooks and fly fishing spots. Ask us anything.  

The neighborhood is called Pisgah Shadows. It is a quiet area with beautiful trees and landscaping. Feel free to take a walk around the neighborhood. There is very little traffic. The house is minutes from the French Broad River where you can access areas to go tubing, kayaking, fishing, or paddle boarding.  

Pets are definitely allowed! Let us know if you plan to bring more than 2. We provide a fully fenced in yard, dog bowls and dog towels for your fur babies. We prefer if you keep your dog(s) in a crate when you leave them at the house to prevent any unwanted damage. If you think you’ll have to leave your dog(s) for a long time, let me know! I’m a pet sitter part time. If you give me a heads up, I will gladly come by to let your dog outside, take them on a walk and/or feed them. Reach out for more details on this service that I offer.
  
Please enjoy viewing the honeybee hive, but don't get close to it. It does have an electric fence around it to protect from bears and other animals like raccoons. Don't worry if a honey bee gets near you. They are very docile and will only sting if you impose danger to their hive.

Great place to stay!
We really enjoyed staying here even for a night. The house was cute and had everything we needed like dishes, bathroom necessities, and linens. The beds were comfy and the house had cute charm. The owners were great with messaging and answering our questions and very friendly. Definitely recommend this place to stay if you are looking to do some things in Hendersonville or around the area.

Perfect Cottage routine
Stay met all expectations. Located between Hendersonville and Brevard. And between Pisgah and Dupot Forests. Cottage was comfortable with good space. Had room for two kennels for our dogs. Kitchen well equipped and allowed us to make meals. Enjoyed a sunny lunch at the fire pit. Easy drive to hikes/waterfalls in both Forests and to do some shopping, eating, coffee in Brevard/Hendersonville.

Great communication but a few minor issues.
Overall we enjoyed our stay. I am a planner and Jerica was always quick to respond to my questions. The house itself is very cute and the location is quiet. However there were some minor issues such as: the yard was not really pet friendly, there weren't any eggs so we had to make a second stop at the grocery store, some skillets are in need of replacement, there needs to be some bigger cookware, and the King bedroom needs to have blackout curtains. I state these items because I rely highly on reviews when I choose a house to rent and hope my review will help someone else.

Loved it!!!
We love visiting the area to hike and the Honeybee Haven was one of our favorite stays! It's an adorable little cottage that had everything we needed to cook, relax and hang out after a long day in the forest. It's very conveniently located in a nice quiet area. Beds were comfortable and the bee decor is so cute! Jericah responds quickly but we didn't really have any issues. It was a great stay and definitely would stay again!

Amazing home with beautiful surroundings
We had an absolutely amazing time staying here for my birthday weekend - my partner and I had a few friends and our dogs and couldn’t have asked for a more perfect home. It was clean inside and out and the host was very quick to reply and very accommodating. Looking forward to making another trip back up to stay here!

Loved the Honeybee Haven!
My fiance and I had an amazing stay at this property. Jerica was very responsive and accommodating, and the house had everything we needed. There was great information that helped us make the most out of our time in Brevard. We especially loved staying in such a dog friendly home - our city pup loved the fenced in yard!

The absolute perfect getaway home!
We loved our experience here! Check in was a breeze, the house was decorated so well and felt so cozy. I have stayed in similar types of properties over the years and this was by far my favorite! Perfect for my family and I to spend time together during the holidays. I truly look forward to staying here again! Thanks guys!

Perfect!
My husband, myself and our dog really loved staying here. The king bed is super comfortable and fitted with high quality linens and throw blankets. The kitchen had everything we needed to make our meals, and the outdoor grill was nicer than ours at home. I was pleasantly surprised to find filtered water and fresh eggs in the refrigerator… this was a super nice touch. I think the icing on the cake is how dog friendly this house is; there is a small fenced in yard and dog bowls at the ready. A perfect stay for a couple and their furry friend. Thank you!

An Excellent Stay
This place was everything we could have needed and wanted! It was so peaceful and the plants in bloom were absolutely beautiful. There were many small touches that made the stay feel even more special and every room was well stocked in everything you could need. Our favorite part of was how dog friendly it was, with a covered back porch that was perfect for relaxation and as the spot to keep their crate and bowls. We truly loved this space and fully hope to stay here again.

About the host

Hosted by Jerica Klinker

Host profile image
We have lived in this area for almost 7 years. We love it here so much and can't wait to share it with you. We both enjoy mountain biking on a regular basis. I (Jerica) love taking our dogs hiking, and Broc is an avid fly fisherman.

Why they chose this property

This property is perfect if you want to be in a quiet area surrounded by trees. You can't see any of the neighbors so you'll feel like you have ultimate privacy. This is the best place to listen to the birds and watch the honey bees foraging on flowers.

What makes this property unique

I am an avid beekeeper and lover of plant conservation. This home has become a project of transformation. Every year I plant more native flowers and shrubs to support the honeybees and our native pollinators. I want guests to be pleasantly surprised by the love that I put into the house and the gardens.
