Very comfortable and great location
The house was perfect for four adults for our long weekend. Very easy walk to everything of interest in the downtown Brevard area. Comfortable furnishings, well-equipped kitchen, and the hot tub was nice after walking/biking. Would definitely stay in this home again.

Wonderful home in fantastic location
We absolutely loved our stay at Witek Rinker house. Thoughtfully renovated with interesting Brevard College memorabilia, the house is super clean, well organized, and very comfortable. We enjoyed the huge backyard, walking to all the stores, breweries and restaurants and loved the bike path being so close. White Squirrel were quick to deal with any questions we had. We look forward to staying here again. It was lovely!

Wonderful stay
We had a wonderful stay! The house was perfect and its history in the back room displayed in photographs was so very interesting. The kitchen was fully stocked, the living room comfortable & large TV perfect for watching basketball (UNC vs Duke game). We also enjoyed the hot tub. The weather was fantastic as was the fly fishing! We did have time to walk everywhere - house is perfect location right on Main St.
