"Deer Path Cottage" - A Deltec round house located in the resort community of Connestee Falls sleeps 5 with 3 bedrooms and 2 full bathrooms. With its many windows it provides a panoramic view of the forest and winter views of the Blue Ridge mountains. A large deck off the main living area is the perfect place to enjoy the peaceful sounds of nature with your morning coffee or tea. The house is close in proximity to the Connestee Falls Clubhouse where there is large pool, 18 hole golf course, tennis, pickle ball and bocce courts. The community has four stocked lakes for fishing as well as boating or swiming. The Clubhouse offers a dining room and a cafe/grill for your convenience.
The ensuite master and 2nd bedroom have queen beds. The third bedroom has a twin bed. The master bath has a tub/shower and a washer/dryer. The 2nd bathroom has a walk in shower. The house is on 1.5 wooded acres and backs up to a 1000+ acre nature preserve. This unique round home is the perfect place to “get away from it all” with its quiet surroundings - and yet is within driving distance to destinations the area is known for: fishing, kayaking, waterfall hikes, live music, local breweries and a vibrant downtown. With easy access from the street, the level parking pad has parking for 4 cars. The cottage is on one level and is only a few steps from the parking area.
The wood-burning fireplace in the main living area is a great place to cozy up in front of to read a book or watch a movie. Available for use from October - April. Please remember to pick up a bundle of firewood from the Ingles grocery store in town.
Connestee Falls is a gated community and is close to many great attractions. A short drive takes you to Dupont Forest, Pisgah National Forest, the Blue Ridge Parkway, spectacular waterfalls and two of the East Coast’s best trout streams. The town of Brevard is the home of the Brevard Music Center and in the summer you have two months of amazing musical performances to choose from. Downtown offers a wide variety of restaurants along with locally owned shops and galleries that feature local artisans from musicians to potters. There is always something to do in downtown Brevard as musicians can be found performing nightly at several of the cafes and restaurants.
One small well behaved dog will be permitted with a paid pet fee. The dog must be under 40lbs in weight. No cats allowed! The Connestee Falls community requires all dogs to be on leash when out of the house and the owner is required to pick up and bag all poop.
We bought this property so we could spend time away from a large city, escape the heat of summer in the South and to enjoy Fall in the Blue Ridge Mountains. We discovered Connestee Falls and Brevard to be a wonderful place to explore all that the Blue Ridge Mountains offers while living in what feels like a private park-like setting. As the cottage was built on a deer path, it is not uncommon to see deer strolling through the property. It is been home to deer families who often leave their fawns on the safety of our property during the day. Surrounded by trees it is very peaceful. From any window of our cottage, you see trees rather than other houses.
Connestee Falls community offers both the privacy and serenity of living in a park like setting – there are about 1600 homes on 4000 acres of forested mountain land - while having the many amenities that provide an abundance of outdoor recreation and the conveniences of the near by clubhouse restaurant and grill room.
The main living area of the house provides a delightful place for a family or friends to gather to prepare and enjoy meals, play cards or board games. And with the internet and TV, it's a great space to watch sports events or movies together.
Our cottage is in close proximity to many things to see and do. During the five years of owning this cottage we have yet to do everything that the community and area has to offer. We are still exploring new things every day. Connestee Falls has an extensive trail system that provides an opportunity to take moderate hikes and explore the large waterfall that bears the community name. Superb outdoor recreation facilities from the golf course to 4 lakes, tennis, bocce ball courts, a heated outdoor swimming pool and pickle ball - all within 1/2 to 1 mile from the house.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the round house in Connestee Falls. The house was great - bedrooms and a bath for the boys on one side and a nice master suite for the adults on the other. Comfy living area in the middle with a well stocked kitchen and fun family games. We played dominoes every night and spent our days hiking, kayaking, fishing and swimming. Plus we got to see a total eclipse! We barely left the neighborhood but when we did Brevard was just a quick drive...We will definitely come again.
Oh - and the rental people were really good to work with!
Just wanted to thank Bob and Kimberly for letting us stay in their beautiful home. This was our first visit to Connestee Falls and it will not be the last. The home is situated on a beautiful lot and totally wooded. The home itself is very comfortable and is fully equipped. It was more than we expected. Brevard is just a short drive away with many incredible restaurants. The hiking trails in Connestee are not to be missed. This home nailed it, 10 out of 10.
The cottage is very comfortable and set back in the woods of a gated community but with lots of privacy and no traffic noise. Brevard is a short drive away as is the Dupont State Recreational Forest with it beautiful waterfalls. The owners were very accommodating and responsive to all our communications and provided a treasure trove of information on the area and things to do. We would be glad to come again in the future to enjoy a fun and restful retreat.
