Hummingbird Vacation Cottage, Dupont State Forest, Cedar Mountain, NC

Hummingbird Cottage is a beautiful house right next to the Dupont State forest. The Dupont State Forest is perfect for horseback trail rides, mountain biking, hiking and exploring many nearby waterfalls. The cottage is a lovely setting for a romantic get away or a peaceful personal retreat. Come see the leaves change, the flowers bloom or the snow fall. Our cottage is always open.
Private Bedroom has Queen Bed: Living Room has Fold Out Queen Bed.
Wifi, Laundry room, Full Kitchen, dining area, Linens, Towels, Snacks, Living Room, TV, Computer Area, Screened In Porch Everything you need to feel at home.
Did you know? mid May through mid June the flowers begin to bloom and the Blue Ghost Moths come to the mountain. The only place in the world to see the Blue Ghost Moths is here in the heart of the Dupont Forest. Thousands vie for limited passes to come at night in the Dupont to see the wonder of the Blue Ghost Moths, who are visible only during their mating season. No pass is needed for those staying at Hummingbird Cottage, as you are able to experience their wonder on the paths of our property.



Late September through mid October brings the color of fall to the forest. Hummingbird cottage is nestled in the heart of the forest and surrounded by nature's beauty as the leaves change from deep green to vivid yellows, oranges and reds. Enjoy lovely walks through nature's wonder on crisp afternoons and snuggle next to the fire in the evening.

Winter is a wonderful time to visit the cottage. The forest is quiet, especially after a snowfall. With the underbrush clear, hiking the forest in the winter is particularly interesting as you can see so many things that are hidden in the full bounty of summer. The cottage is snug, seclued and warm.
The vacation home is air-conditioned and features a kitchen and a balcony or patio, and there's space to spread out with a separate bedroom and a dining area. Guests can expect to find a TV with a DVD player. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a fireplace, and a sofa bed.

Perfect Private Getaway

Hosts were great with communication & went way out of their way to return an item we left behind. The cabin was peaceful & perfect for a couples getaway. Well off any main road and tucked into the woods, yet still an easy drive into Brveard. If you're in DuPont to ride, run or hike the trails you can hop on right from the property!

Perfect place to stay for hiking!

Thanks to Charlene & Patty for the wonderful cottage! We took their advice on places to eat and were not disappointed. Great location 5 minutes from DuPont State Forest. Also, my kids loved meeting Belle the horse!

Lovely cabin

We stayed here for three days over Christmas. It’s a lovely cabin, petite, but for two people it was very comfortable. Our stay was during a bomb cyclone, not the best timing, the well froze the first night and there was an area wide blackout the second night, but the owners were on top of things with heaters on the well and then a generator to keep those going. Fortunately the gas stove was already on when the power went off, so we stayed warm until power was restored.

Lovely stay in a lovely cottage

We loved this little cottage, and even though it rained through most of our stay, it was so relaxing and comfortable. Enjoyed the nice screened in porch and being with nature and there were so many amenities throughout. The hosts were most hospitable, and the Cedar Mountain Cafe (close by) was tops also. I hope to stay there again, I'm very drawn to this area.

Perfect Getaway!!

This vacation rental was perfect in every way and exceeded our expectations. We were looking for a quiet couple of days in the mountains and this cottage was wonderful! The communication was outstanding and the owners went out of their way to make our stay very comfortable. The cottage was completely stocked with all necessities plus extras! It was clean and comfortable and the screened in porch was awesome! The location couldn't have been better for 2 full days of hiking. I would highly recommend this cottage for anyone looking to relax and enjoy the mountains! Thanks Charlene and Patty!!

Location, location, location!

The cottage was very clean, with modern appliances and a comfortable bed. Best of all for us was that the Wilke trail was 200 yards from the property allowing access to Dupont State Forest with no driving required. We look forward to our next stay.

Comfy, Cozy cottage in the woods

I enjoyed my stay at Patty and Charlene's place. It was in a beautiful setting, quiet and well appointed. The bed was super comfortable as an added bonus. Also, they had great snacks and extras around to enjoy which was much appreciated. Highly recommend and when I have out of town guests coming, I will recommend this place to them no question!

Great little getaway

I stayed with my wife only one night, but we really liked the place! Very clean and comfortable. Lots of personal touches. We didn't get a chance to explore the property much, but it also seemed to offer great natural beauty. We didn't get a chance to meet the owners, but they were prompt and thorough with all communication. This is a top notch rental!

Excellent Quiet Retreat

If you are looking for a quiet get away near Brevard, NC this is the place for you. My wife and I spent three nights here in October of 2019 and it is a great place to unwind. Patty and Charlene are excellent hosts and have provided everything you might need for a comfortable stay. The location is very near a lot of outdoor activities or if you want to stay in, the cabin has a lot of amenities to help you relax. Highly recommended!
