The house is amazing, clean and close to downtown as well as the art district. Beautiful town with friendly people and atmosphere. The neighbors are extremely friendly and safe. Can’t say enough about the town and the property. Will stay there again if available.

Thank you for the 5 star review! You left the bungalow so neat and clean, we appreciate that! Please do come again.
The property was very well kept and clean and organized. It was a perfect size for three of us. And a great location close to downtown within walking distance.
The owners made it such a relaxing weekend as they thought of everything you may want or ask during your stay! This place is excellent, safe and close to everything. We are definitely booking again next year.

Thank you for the wonderful review Karen and for leaving the house so neat and clean. Please come again soon.
This house is perfectly located within easy walking distance to downtown. The home itself is well appointed and everything is comfortable and just as advertised. The beds are comfortable, and layout is perfect for 2-4 people to hang out, relax and enjoy everything downtown Brevard has to offer. We will definitely look for Bracken Mountain house next time we visit Brevard.
This was the perfect place for us for the Brevard College graduation weekend! The location is close to the college, the walkable downtown and numerous shops and restaurants. And the house and property are immaculate! The hosts live nearby and how much they care is evident in every detail. Highly recommended!

The house is beautiful, and just as pictured! You have absolutely everything you need for your stay. The location is walking and driving distance to so many local attractions. Lisa went above and beyond to make us feel welcome in her home. She was available to answer any questions, and to make excellent recommendations for restaurants, etc. when needed. Thanks so much, Lisa & Harlan! We will be back!

Thank you for the 5 star review! It was a pleasure hosting you and family. Please do come again.
My son was attending the Brevard Music Center for the Blue Ridge Guitar Camp and I worked while he was in classes and sessions. It was such a treat to have to have the front and back screen doors open to hear the wind chimes and feel the breeze coming through. The immediate neighbors live there full time and are friendly. It's a quick drive to hiking and waterfalls and wonderful places to dine. I am grateful to have a beautiful and comfortable place to visit.

Property was very clean and well kept. Within walking distance to downtown with plenty of shops and restaurants. Plenty of hiking trails with beautiful waterfalls within a few miles of Brevard. House had all the things needed if you were cooking full meals or just snacking. Will definitely stay again and recommend to my friends and family. Lisa and Harlem were great.
