Sunrise Cottage is a welcoming mountain escape while remaining blocks from the heart of downtown Brevard. Tucked off the main street and behind the owner’s residence, this stand-alone home offers everything you would need with its two bedrooms, full bath and kitchen, living room, and screened-in porch. One bedroom offers a queen-sized bed, while the other has a trundle with 2 twin beds. The screen porch’s seating allows you to kick your feet up and breathe in the fresh mountain air or enjoy a meal or morning coffee at the bistro set with the backdrop of flower gardens, songbirds, white squirrels, and rabbits.
The home has high-speed wireless internet and Hulu TV. The kitchen provides filtered drinking water, a dishwasher, and all other kitchen conveniences.
In the covered shed behind the house, you will find 2 adult bikes, a child’s bike, and a child’s scooter for your use for a quick trip to the heart of town or an adventure on the greenway. The shed is where you can also secure your own bikes on the bike rack provided and a hose along the driveway allows you to easily clean off the mud from your own bikes after tackling the numerous mountain biking trails. Behind the house and shed, there is a climbing dome for children, a grill for cooking out, and a fire pit for making s’mores.
This entire residence will be yours to enjoy. The owner lives in the main house on the property and is available to help you whenever the need arises. If you need to have laundry done, she will gladly wash, dry, and fold your laundry for $10/load. Sunrise Cottage is the perfect spot to start and end your day’s adventures while in Brevard.
