We enjoyed our stay very much. The rental home and its location are beautiful. The home was perfectly clean and well appointed. Our hosts were very friendly and helpful and answered all our questions in a timely manner. The location is very convenient to Brevard, NC and the surrounding areas we visited. A beautiful place to stay and would definitely stay here again. It really felt like staying in a home. Thank you Rick and Denise.
Wonderful experience with Rick and Denise. Beautiful house, organized, clean, comfortable. Great location, comfortable beds, well stocked kitchen, great water pressure. Communicated well and provided extras that were not expected but greatly appreciated.

I highly recommend this property. The house and grounds are in pristine condition! Very safe and beautiful location. The hosts were very welcoming and this is the 1st booking of many for our family at this location. We felt very “at home”! Tina
Very clean, beautiful property, very well maintained with attention to detail and equipped with all one can ask for, in a quiet neighborhood. We really enjoyed watching the birds and the squirrels, both white and grey, descend from the oak tree. Highly recommended, especially during the fall.
Rick and Denise are a lovely couple. They even gave me gluten free muffins and brownies, a colorful plant along with birthday wishes for my birthday. Very clean, beautifully decorated and the weather was perfect. They're available at a moments notice for any questions. A perfect stay in the mountains!
Brevard is a great little mountain town, and there are numerous awesome hikes within 20 or so minutes from here. This house is a great home base for a vacation in Brevard and surrounding areas!
It was so great we came back for a second time! We've stayed at 15-20 VRBO's in the last 5 years and this one was the only one we loved enough to come back for a second time. Every thing is perfect: the house is beautifully decorated, well-stocked, and immaculately clean. The hosts are friendly and accommodating. The yard is beautifully maintained, the neighborhood is peaceful, and the location is convenient to downtown. Really, just great all around!
We have stayed here several times. And each and every time, it’s been the best experience. The house is spotless and the location is quiet. The owners have thought of everything a guest would need. Definitely 5 star stay!!
From the beautiful furnishings to the comfy mattress to the blueberry muffins, wow! This cottage has been lovingly restored and is a wonderful home base for visitors to the Brevard/Asheville area. Thanks for the hospitality, we will definitely book again!
This is a remarkable place! It is exquisitely clean and excellently decorated. Has everything you would want
or need in a vacation stay. Very comfortable beds, well stocked kitchen, great location. Hosts were very responsive to messages with kindness and responsibility.
Me and my family loved staying at this property, it was close to downtown and the house was very cozy and clean. Beautiful scenery and it had everything we needed for a nice long weekend. The blueberry muffins that were provided was a great touch and much appreciated! I wish it had been more private as the construction next door was a bit bothersome, but overall it was a great location.
Clean and well equipped cottage that was tastefully decorated. Everything in good condition.Great location; and wonderful hosts who were very prompt in communication. Perfect all around.... absolutely no complaints or issues.
Our stay was absolutely perfect. Denise had everything we need and the muffins were delicious. The house was so clean and tidy, this was by far the best rental we have stayed at. We were visiting Brevard for the first time for our friends’ wedding weekend with family and friends. We had a really great time, thank you for making our stay so effortless!
What an adorable place to have a last minute getaway!!
The cottage is beautiful and clean!! Super close by to brevard and lots of amazing site seeing opportunities!! Also fun just hanging out on the porch watching wildlife!! Tons of birds, while squirrels and chipmunks!! My daughter loved it and cried when we left today! We will definitely be going back!!
I've stayed here several times and have thoroughly enjoyed my stay every time!
This home was recently renovated with high quality materials and finishes. It is very nicely furnished and decorated and the beds are very comfortable. There is an outbuilding for storing and working on bikes. It's also located in a quiet area minutes away from downtown Brevard.
Denise and Rick are also very kind and accommodating hosts.
