Surrounded by the gentle grace of the Smoky Mountains, this stunning lakefront home is the real "On Golden Pond." The lakefront mountain retreat is nestled on a private, one acre wooded lot in Sherwood Forest, a 1000 acre Audubon Cooperative Sanctuary with only 200 houses. Relax, watch and enjoy the natural surroundings of the lake and mountains and look for the white squirrels local to the area. Golf awaits on the 18-hole, par three course with pro shop (open year round). You may also swim in the heated junior Olympic-size pool, play tennis, hike on any of the 21 miles of well-marked hiking trails located within the neighborhood, and enjoy the five lakes for fishing or canoeing (canoe, paddles, and life vests are provided for use). Lakes are stocked with bass and bluegill with no fishing license required.

The cabin is beautifully furnished and features two master bedrooms each with 2 full private baths plus one additional bedroom. There is also central air conditioning/heat, a fully-equipped remodeled kitchen with new appliances, a wood burning fireplace in the living room, vaulted ceilings, and a new glassed-in sunroom with a gas log fireplace, a screened porch and outside decks all overlooking the lake. For your entertainment there are 3 televisions with satellite service including 5 cinemax channels, pay-for-view and a DVD player. And for your convenience, there is wireless internet and a full laundry with washer and dryer.

Our lakefront mountain retreat is located only five minutes from DuPont State Forest and Caesar's Head State Park with its incredible waterfalls, over 80 miles of hiking and mountain bike trails, and amazing overlooks. You are also within 10 miles from the Pisgah National Forest where you will find the Davidson River which boast more trophy trout per mile than any other stream in the country and unbelievable waterfalls. There is also tubing, rafting, horsebacking and Sliding Rock!

Brevard truly has something for everyone besides the 250 named waterfalls and hundreds of acres of the six state and national forests that surround it: There is also a thriving music and arts community, fantastic shopping, and outstanding dining in this charming Appalachian town. You may also want to visit The Flat Rock Playhouse, Biltmore Estate, and Carl Sandburg home that are but a few of the nearby cultural attractions. Visit and you'll understand why Rand McNally, The Wall Street Journal and National Geographic Traveler name this area one of America's top ten places to live and play.

    • Enjoyed staying at the house and watching the lake activity from the screened in porch. Teenagers liked the variety of activities in the area including fly fishing and kayaking. Everyone we met was very friendly and Brevard had everything we needed to have a wonderful family vacation.

    • We had a wonderful week at the lakefront mountain retreat. We played golf, tennis, swam in the large heated pool, hiked on the 20 miles of trails, and enjoyed the serenity and natural beauty of Sherwood Forest. We definitely will return next year.

    • We wanted to thank you for sharing your wonderful moutain home with us for a week. We had such a great time. Your home suited us perfectly with the open floor plan and screened-in porch. The view of the lake from your house is so beautiful and peaceful. We watched for the longest time a young buck frolic back & forth in the water along the lake's edge. This was the quietest place we have ever stayed! Brevard has so much to offer and nearby DuPont State Forest and its waterfalls was so beautiful. We hiked every day in DuPont and in Sherwood Forest which has so many trails. Our two "girls" were in dog heaven! We hope to return again and truly relax.

    • We rented your beautiful home Labor Day for 2 weeks. It was magical...I cannot tell you how happy we were looking out at the lake and seeing deer each morning and evening. Our pet yorkie..loved sitting out on the deck and watched all the birds, deer with amazement. What I loved most about the cabin was that it was the only house on the road. Letting Beemer walk without a chain and sitting on the dock with him was great. We would recommend this house to everyone that wanted truly to be in Sherwood Forrest. Being just the two of us we each took a bathroom and the masterbath, sink was a lovely touch. We loved it so much that we ate in most of the nights, and just loved the view from both front rooms. Each of the leather couches were perfect for napping and watching tv. We used the canoe and fished from the dock..caught alot of beautiful fish..which we threw back in of course...but the "catching is the fun part". I would not hesitate to return to paradise...Thank you for having such a lovely house to rent. Ronni & Barry. 8/29/08 = 9/13/08.

    • My family had a great vacation. The house is beautiful and very relaxing. We enjoyed taking daily walks, sitting on the dock and enjoying the peace and quiet of the neighborhood.The house is very comfortable and the beds are great. Brevard and the surrounding area are very easy to navigate. Everything about our vacation was fabulous. We would love to stay in the house again when we visit Brevard.

    • We just returned from a wonderful week with our family at the Lakeside Mountain Retreat - what a great place for a family vacation. The house sits right in the middle of the forest on a beautiful mountain lake where we enjoyed canoeing or just sitting on the dock taking in the sunsets and mountain view. The dining room is all glass and faces the lake and my favorite time of the day was to sit there early in the morning and watch the wildlife who came through the yard especially the deer. There was so much to do - from hiking the waterfalls in Dupont Forest, horseback riding, white water rafting, shopping in Brevard and the nearby pottery shops to everyone’s favorite, the hot air balloon ride - the view over the mountains at dawn was spectacular! The golf course on the property was great and never crowded - some days it was like we were the only ones on the course and everyone was so friendly. Biltmore Estates is a must if you are in the area! It made the vacation even better that we were able to bring our dog. He thoroughly enjoyed the mountain weather and hiking the trails. We had a wonderful time and would highly recommend this rental to everyone.

    • Peaceful, serene, cozy, and spacious. This lakefront cottage was a great retreat. We utilized the community hiking on the well marked and well cared for trails. We played golf on the well maintained par 3 course -- and it was nice to be able to walk the course! We sat on the dock to enjoy a glass of wine and watch the sunset. We woke to deer in the front yard, beautiful birds chirping, and squirrels running around. Being at the cottage made us at peace with nature. It was great to be able to enjoy all of this and have our four legged friend there with us too! The town of Brevard was great too...cute shops and nice restaurants. Not too far from the airport either. We had a wonderful time!

    • I stayed at the Lakefront Mountain Retreat in July. WOW is all I can say! The pictures looked nice from the website but I could not believe how beautiful it was as I came around the bend and saw the huge lake view right in front of the house. The house has to be 200 feet on the water. The front windows are all glass and face the lake and there is a large deck outside with seating. I never wanted to leave! It was my favorite time of the summer. Thanks for sharing!!!

    • My family, dogs and I really enjoyed our time at your cottage. We loved the neighborhood because there as so much to do right there and we still felt like we were in the middle of a forest all at the same time. My family all walked trails right there in the neighborhood, fished and canoed on the lake right in front of the house, golfed, and enjoyed swimming in the pool. We did venture out to DuPont and Pisgah Forests which were beautiful and only a few minutes drive away. The waterfalls are amazing. We’ll be back next summer – save our spot!
