Sunset Cottage Blocks from Downtown
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, kitchen, living room, Washer/Dryer, and screened-in porch. Enjoy the property's lush gardens with flowers from April through October. There is a fountain patio with rocking chairs, Adirondack chairs, and sun umbrellas perfect for relaxing in the morning with your coffee or unwinding at the end of the day with your favorite beverage. There is also a fire pit with outdoor furniture for making s’mores.
For all ages, we have equipment to give you a great workout. There is a Ninja rig built by an American Ninja Warrior, a climbing wall, and, behind the fence, a fort with swings, a climbing dome, and a trampoline with a safety net and covered springs.
The screened 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 cafe table, with the backdrop of flower gardens, songbirds, white squirrels, and rabbits.
The cottage has one bedroom with a queen-sized bed, while the other has a trundle with 2 twin beds. The dresser in the trundle room has a pull-out shelf perfect for working on your laptop. Both rooms have Echo Dots for music and alarm clocks. The kitchen provides filtered drinking water, a dishwasher, a full-sized refrigerator, and other amenities. A drip coffee maker, filters, and medium roast coffee are supplied. Some spices, olive oil, Pam, ketchup, mustard, and mayonnaise are supplied. The home has high-speed wireless internet, Hulu TV for local channels and regular programming, Netflix, and Disney.
The shed is also where you can secure your bikes on the provided bike rack, and a hose along the driveway lets you easily clean mud off your bikes after tackling the numerous mountain biking trails. A bike pump is located on the back porch of the main house.
This entire residence will be yours to enjoy, and the shared gardens are available for your use as well. The owner lives in the main house on the property and is available to help you whenever needed. Sunrise Cottage is the perfect spot to start and end your day’s adventures while in Brevard.

It is a small property, but a large back yard away from the owners home. Everything was excellently equipped, 3 blocks from downtown. My favorite was relaxing on the screen porch after spending the day out in the forests. Loved the white squirrels romping in the back yard.

This place was great! I’m handicapped and use a walker, so I was pleasantly surprised that there were no stairs to get inside. We never checked out the backyard or the play structure since we didn’t have any kids. Carol was great and made sure we had everything we needed to enjoy our stay. And as a bonus it was just a few houses away from one of my sister-in-laws! We will definitely be coming back!

Very nice place! Carol is very nice - greeted me in the driveway, she keeps a really nice garden and takes good care of her property. The place is not big but everything we needed - two full bedrooms plus a decent-sized living area. And I enjoyed hanging out on the screened patio any time of day and taking in the natural habitat. It’s a little bit of a walk to parts of downtown - seems like more of a drive. I would definitely stay here again!

Beautiful Cottage
Though the cottage was slightly smaller than I had imagined, it turned out to be a perfect setup for our family of 4. The host Carol was lovely and we really appreciated being able to stay in such a clean, safe, and beautiful location that was walkable to the shopping downtown. We also really liked the screened in porch to sit and enjoy our morning coffee. The parking is tight for bigger vehicles, but I highly recommend this great spot.

wonderful home base for waterfall hiking
My wife, 7 year old daughter and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the sunset cottage. We are avid waterfall hikers, and this downtown location proved a central location to access the plethora of nearby waterfalls. The cottage was very bright, clean, and well stocked with all the typical items you might need when traveling. The host was lovely, reaching out to me the day before arrival to let me know we could check in early if desired and greeting us when we arrived. Outside of that friendly greeting, we were afforded perfect privacy, which is important when staying in a cottage with another home on the same property. My daughter loved her room with the extra pull-out bed. The high ceilings were an unexpected plus.The only drawback that I’ll mention to travelers is that while the home is very close to the downtown core, the streets and sidewalks aren’t set up to walk safely (at least not with a child) to said central businesses. With that said, you could not ask for a quicker and easier drive to downtown restaurants and shops. My family would definitely consider coming back to this home away from home on our next trip to brevard.

Rest and Reconnection
My 2 daughters-in-law and I used to travel to the mountains with my sweet mother-in-law. She has aged with dementia and we haven’t had a girls trip to the mountains in 5 years. I wanted to rekindle our Nail Girl’s Trip and revive the yearly mountain trip! I found Sunset Cottage on Best Life Dr. in Brevard, and it was the perfect place for us! We had a wonderful, relaxing time shopping in Brevard and visiting at the cottage! Carol’s place was sooo clean and inviting! It was short…but so sweet to reconnect together with our Lord and each other!
