  Beautifully appointed cabin on a lake with a spectacular view every day. Great hiking all around Sherwood Forest and we almost never saw another car so it was also very private. Our dogs loved the hiking and the weather was so wonderfully cool but the fireplace really warmed us up in the chilly mornings as we had our breakfast.Not to miss if you go is the town of Brevard with wonderful restaurants and shopping and do go to the Dupont Forest and hike to the falls, they were gorgous as our pictures we took can attest to. Can't wait to return!

  Owner response: Luci and Ron, I'm so glad you enjoyed the house and the area. Please come back when you can! Paula

  This house is everything the listing says, plus more! Wonderfully furnished to meet all needs. In the fall, we canoed, hiked, watched all the wildlife and just relaxed. In the other seasons I can just imagine the possibilities of enjoying the surrounding National Forests with all the hiking or still, just back at the house swimming and fishing. What was so WONDERFUL was the total peacefulness and quietness of the surroundings. All the people we met while hiking the grounds were extremely friendly. Great for couples or a family!

  This is a beautiful play for stay for a number of reasons. The house itself is comfortable and functional with plenty of room, and entertainment conveniences, if you feel like vegging inside, including on the glass-enclosed porch with a gas fireplace. But it's the outdoor environment that truly makes this home special. We walked the trails cut into the hills and streams and falls that run through this Audubon development, and used the canoe to paddle a few times around the small lake. Grilled some steaks surrounded by autumn trees. And just loved the peacefulness. Paula was the perfect "e-mail" host, efficiently managing our stay and promptly addressing any questions. All-in-all a great way to experience this beautiful area of North Carolina.

  Owner response: Thank you, Barry, for the nice review. I hope you can come again and stay longer next time!

  I really really enjoyed my time here, the only regret was that it was way too short, would have been great to stay few more days. Everything was just awesome from the temperature, the scenery, the weather and to the proximity to the various waterfalls and I loved the fact that I could bring my furry family member. The cabin was really well stocked with all the essential items, did not have to buy ANYTHING. This was the first cabin that we didn't have to purchase anything which was nice. I really liked the layout, updated kitchen and the fireplace. I wished I could have taken the advantage of the cheap golf fees (next time). It's also great that there is swimming pool and tennis courts (next time as well). Oh and it was great that we didn't need fishing license to fish. Overall, I would highly recommend this cabin and Paula the owner is just great, extremely organized and helpful with the local guides she made available at the cabin and it was very kind of her to let us check out late. Just book the cabin and enjoy everything it has to offer.

  Our family of 4 stayed at Lakefront Moutnian Retreat and had a fantastic time. The cabin is so clean and has everything that you need. The kitchen was fully stocked with all the utensils needed and there is a gas grill for cooking out. We loved the lake and swan and fished everyday. There is a canoe for your use and it is a fun way to explore the lake. My family enjoyed hiking to the other four lakes in Sherwood Forest as well. There is so much adventure just outside your door and you don't even need to get in the car. Paula was great with answering all my questions and made everything so easy. Dupont Forest is a short drive and has great hiking, mtn biking and waterfalls. Brevard is about 15 minutes away which has great restaurants and shopping as well. There is so much to do in this area and the cabin is located in a perfect spot and close to it all. It was the perfect place to come home to each afternoon after and active day in the nearby woods and rivers. We could not have hoped for more! We will definitely be back on our next vacation to Brevard!

  Owner response: Thanks Betsy! I'm so glad you and your family came to stay and enjoyed it as much as we do! Please come again.

  Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful home with us and WHAT a setting! It really is like being on the real on golden pond. We appreciate your hospitality and helping us plan a great vacation for our entire family. We loved all of the suggestions for restaurants and things to do in the area. My favorite part was sitting on the dock in the evening fishing or just having a relaxing glass of wine as the sun set. We also appreciated how clean your house was and that every room was exactly as pictured on the website. (We've been unpleasantly surprised a few times.) We'll definitely be back!!!

  Putting around the small lake in the canoe at dusk was a great ending to the day! This is the place to do as much, or as little as you like! A peaceful & serene location, with great hikes & waterfalls all around the area. Simple but comfortable home. Great get-away with our family! Loved Hobnob Restaurant (in Brevard), if you like hand-thrown pottery, you'll love Mud-Dauber's Potteryl! (on the right, going into town) t

  We stayed at Paula's house over the Columbus Day weekend and had a great time! The house is lovely and it was so relaxing to wake up to the view of the lake. We had fun fishing in the lake (we did catch and release), and met some of the neighbors who were very nice! The home was well appointed and had everything we needed to cook our meals. My only negative feedback is that the pillows were a bit flat, not a big deal, but we will bring our own pillows next time.

  Our family of 5 adults and an (almost) 2 yr old stayed here 10/12 - 10/16. This is the 8th vacation house that I've stayed in (Tn, NC, Ca, Fl). This house is without a doubt the most comfortable, clean, well furnished house of all. The location was beautiful and convenient - easy to get to Brevard, to the Appalachian Trail, to Sliding Rock...... The property was just as described - except that words nor picures do the beauty of the fall colors around the lake justice. There were deer that grazed through the yard everyday. We looked and looked for a white squirrel, but only saw regular ole squirrels......maybe next time. The gas fireplace was a wonderful way to knock the chill off in the glass sunroom - it was very comfortable sitting and enjoying the surroundings. The gates on the porch helped to make us comfortable with the 2 yr old - oh - and we had fresh fish for dinner our first night there - it was delicious!!!! I absolutely would love to stay at Paula's Mountain Retreat again and would recommend for anyone/any ages - unless you can't climb stairs at all. We all had a great time - our only complaint was that we just didn't stay long enough!!!! Thank you for providing such a nice rental - one that has character and comfort!!!!
