Lovely cabin in the trees with relaxing balcony patio. Convenient to Brevard and Mountain Song festival. I’d give 5 stars but there were a couple of housekeeping issues… some dirty dishes in dishwasher, hand soap in bathroom watered down or stretched with cheap soap. Even so… I’d totally recommend this Pilot Cove.

Great stay

My husband and i stayed a couple of days while visiting the national parks. It was quiet, clean and comfortable. Very close to parks and a few restaurants. I would definitely stay here again.

We had such a quiet, restful time. Lots of rain did not keep us from walking through quaint shops and eating well in nearby Brevard. Our unit had a kitchen with excellent appliances and clean, new pots and pans too. Bed was comfortable and bathroom perfect!

I can’t imagine a more comfortable floor plan with access to a nice view, while maintaining privacy. With in a few miles to local trout fishing access points, lazy streams to rent a tube and float or swim a while. Highly recommended

Lovely cabin and beautiful location, HOWEVER, cabin number given (even when access code gained entry) was already occupied. It was difficult to contact management, then was told I "went to the wrong cabin and door must have been unlocked" when we clearly heard the lock click and provided the original email stating the "incorrect" cabin number thrice. Also, had to buy toilet paper as no refills were provided. BYOTP

Anniversary Getaway at Pilot Cove

We really enjoyed our stay at Pilot Cove. The cabin we stayed in, #260, felt very private as it was at the top of the hill. Beautiful cabin with everything you need. I would recommend bringing your own pillows, they were a little flat. But the bed was bug and comfortable! Great stay, will definitely be back!
