Wonderful and responsive host. The cabin was very clean and comfortable. The yard and fire pit area were not as private as we would have preferred but everything met our needs and it was easy to access all the hiking we wanted to do in the area.

Super clean cottage with great walkability to town and to Brevard college! Woke up to deer outside our window and loved the neighbors friendly cats that would visit us every time we rolled in. The creek is behind the home but cannot view it from the home.

We were hardly at the house because we were out doing things around town and on the Blue Ridge Parkway. Having said that, the house was clean and stocked with what we needed.

Disliked: Location, listing accuracy
The fire pit was very basic and unkempt. I had to wipe off mold, mildew and bird poop off the chairs before they could be used. It faced the cement foundation of the cottage. The creek was more like an overgrown ditch. There were no scenic views, deck, porches etc. However, the house was clean and close to town, we did not think it close enough to walk though. The host responded quickly to our disappointment and did send firewood, starter sticks and cleaned up the fire pit.

The house was very nicely updated and was very clean. We enjoyed being able to walk into town. It is not in the forest, but the ability to walk to town was more beneficial than views for us.

Nice small home in a convenient location to downtown Brevard. The owner provided a good array of basics, soaps, shampoos, paper towels, etc. Beds are very comfortable, kitchen has everything you need. A little tight if you have only adults staying in the home, but doable. I recommend this property!

This is a cute little property just a short drive to the downtown Brevard area. We found the most amazing BBQ dive up across the street called Blue Smoke BBQ or now Smoke on BBQ. We would highly recommend this property. It had only one very small bathroom for having 3 bedrooms but it that does not bother you the place is great.

The house was beautiful and very clean. The kitchen had everything you need to cook and had coffee and extra condiments. It was so easy to jump right into our vacation. The beds were comfortable and we couldn't have asked for a better stay. We loved the fire pit and there was even sticks for the marshmellows and marshmellows provided.

About the host
Hosted by Brenda Miranda
Love the nature, explore, camp, hike and go to the woods as much as I can. There is no better place to do it than in WNC where I call home for over 10 years. My family and I live in Brevard and it is easy to supervise our place and make sure our guests are more than pleased with the service provided. Please do not hesitate to contact me for any additional information.
Why they chose this property
When we were looking to buy our very first home we were very blessed to find this place. It is so close to town and was perfect for a single car family. Convenient for me to walk with my little children then. Was able to take them to park, public library and even pay my bills using a stroller for my youngest.
What makes this property unique
When you have gorgeous weather like in Brevard you want to spend as much time possible outdoors. We have a fire pit and creek on the back where you can enjoy wildlife on the other side of creek. We have a white squirrel that crosses and visits our back yard quiet often.
