Gosh, this really was the get away both myself and my dog needed It was so relaxing to hang out by the fire and sip wine while my sweet Gracie was able to wander and explore safely around the fenced yard. It’s not always easy to find a place that accomplishes both of those things. The house itself was great; the king bed was so comfy! The sheets felt amazing. I usually don’t sleep well when I stay away from home but as soon as I got in bed, I knew it was going to be a restful night. It was such a special weekend get away, Gracie and I hope to visit again.
So much space for Gracie to run!
So serene and relaxing
The sunroom was so cozy to have morning coffee.

The property was very clean and the host was extremely welcoming and responsive. We had no issues during our stay, but she did check in to make sure that we didn’t need anything. We absolutely loved the fully fenced in backyard for our two dogs. The hot tub, Foosball table and swing in the backyard were big hits with our kids. We also really enjoyed the waffle bar. Great location close to Pisgah national forest and downtown Brevard. Would definitely stay here again!

Exceeds expectations

My family and I stayed here for a few days and let me tell you, this was the best rental we have stayed in. We come to the area every April and this house by far was our favorite. The yard is so peaceful and large and well kept. We loved the swings the most. The sunroom was our favorite place to hang out at nighttime because of the comfortable seating and the large windows. The bathrooms are a bit tight but my 6’5 275lb father was able to use them so it was fine. I never felt like we were being watched or bothered. The host answered questions so quickly and grocery/shopping is less than 20 min away. I could go on and on but this place was the most wonderful getaway for our family. We barely left the property. We felt 110% safe. Highly recommend staying here!!!

Very Comfortable

It was very comfortable and set up well! The pictures were spot on and we loved the forrpit area and hot tub. It was nice to have a fenced in yard for our pup. There were really clear directions before and signage there which made it easy. Mills River Brewery was very close and was a nice afternoon spot with music and really good food. Would highly recommend!

Great house and property!

The communication with the host was great! The cleanliness and the amenities were really nice. The hot tub on these cold winter nights along with the waffle bar and coffee station in the morning that were all included were such a nice touch.
