We visit Brevard once or twice each year. This has been our favorite place to stay to date. The location is so convenient to downtown and to Pisgah. The owner did a great job with the decor and functionality of the property as well. It was so comfortable and homey so we could relax after long days of hiking and biking. We just loved it and can’t wait to stay here again! Such a special place.

Brevard Bike and Hike Retreat provided my wife and I a wonderful accommodation for our stay in Brevard. The retreat is well designed and tastefully decorated with many thoughtful and functional touches. Especially enjoyed the wonderful kitchen that was so well equipped. The bed was wonderfully comfortable, and the entire retreat was immaculately clean. Location is close enough to walk to downtown in about 15 minutes, with several restaurants only a few minutes away by foot. Great communication with our host who made us feel welcomed. Most highly recommend the Retreat, and we look forward to our next stay at this location.

We spent three nights at the Brevard Bike and Hike Retreat. It was the perfect location to access hiking and climbing in the Pisgah National Forest and restaurants and shops in Brevard. We had everything we needed. The beds were comfortable and it was nicely decorated.

We loved this house and hope to return again soon. It was perfect for our sisters’ getaway. The house was immaculate and included everything we needed for an enjoyable stay. Furnished and decorated nicely. Only suggestion would be to have a mirror in the small bedroom.

Beautiful, clean, and perfect location. This cozy house is a great base camp for everything Brevard. It has everything you need to enjoy a weekend or week away. Brevard is a lovely community with something for everyone. Great shopping, excellent restaurants, and so much fun stuff to do outside. We enjoyed hiking, fishing, swimming, and floating down the French broad in a raft. We will be back.

About the host

Hosted by Travis Chamberlain

Host profile image
I am from Fishers, Indiana, and Brevard is my second home. I love mountain biking and hiking in Pisgah National Forest and DuPont State Forest and fly fishing in the local rivers and streams. I also love visiting all of the local breweries and restaurants.

Why they chose this property

Location, location, location! I bought this property for three primary reasons: 1) great location, walkable to the Lumberyard District and downtown, 2) super close to the Brevard City Bike Path, 3) perfect set up for two couples or a family of four. Being able to ride the the trailheads in Pisgah National Forest or Bracken Preserve is amazing, too! I renovated this property in 2022 and made into a place I can call my second home.

What makes this property unique

- Great location in downtown Brevard.
- Just steps from the Brevard City Bike Path.
- Walk or bike to restaurants and shopping.
- Short drive to Dupont State Forest.
- Close to Asheville and the Biltmore Estate.
- Indoor bike storage with two bike stands provided with the property.
