The owner was helpful and communicative ahead of and during our stay. The hot tub was clean and ready to go when we arrived, and the kids loved playing all the games available at the house. We walked to breakfast and dinner in Brevard, and the walk was short enough that our kids (ages 5-9) didn't complain! The beds were comfortable. We had a great time and would definitely consider staying again.

Perfect place if you are looking to enjoy Brevard. A few blocks from downtown so walking is an option. House clean and kitchen was so well stocked with everything you could possibly need. In the game room there were games galore for all ages. Beds very comfortable with quality sheets. Host left a few welcome tokens and warmed up the hot tub prior to our arrival. Plenty of parking. Definitely a place to return to next time.

We are from the area and we’re coming home to visit family and friends for Christmas and needed a place that our dog could stretch his legs and run around. The house was perfect and I am glad we found it for future trips! The foosball table was a hit too!!! Also, I HAVE NEVER STAYED IN A HOUSE THIS FULLY STOCKED! I feel like we moved into someone’s private home that wasn’t a rental property. Stay here if you’re searching.

We had a wonderful time at this lovely home! Very clean, an abundance of amenities provided (very well stocked kitchen, toiletries, plenty of towels for bath and hot tub.) Beds are super comfy. Lovely guest bath. Huge master bedroom with access to back deck area, hot tub, etc. Our dogs loved the big backyard to run around and watch the squirrels. Game room and living room were perfect for our family to gather and spend time together.
