About this property

Cabin #1, known as “Bear Ridge View”, is located on 64 privately-owned acres atop Mine Mountain, which is approximately ten minutes from the entrance to the National Pisgah Forest. The cabin is modern yet rustic and contains two bedrooms (1 King & 1 Queen), 2 baths, and a modern kitchen with granite countertops and stainless steel appliances. It also features generous outside decks with an outdoor eating area, wireless internet, Direct TV, a washer and dryer, and a gas grill. Guests can enjoy the solitude of the area while rocking on the covered back porch. This porch, which overlooks Pisgah Forest, features ample seating for large groups, as well as a ceiling fan and variable lighting to guarantee year-round comfort. Bear Ridge View, with its knotty-pine paneling and charming décor featuring a mix of unique antiques and newer pieces, is an ideal cabin for couples or small families.

The efficiency cabin, known as the “Moonshine Shack”, is located adjacent to this cabin and features one large main room, including a kitchenette and sleeping area, as well as one bath and a covered porch. This cabin got its name due to the fact that it was the site of a moonshine operation run by the prior owner. The Moonshine Shack can be rented for an additional fee of $50/nt plus a $25 cleaning fee to provide additional sleeping quarters for the occupants of Bear Ridge. Moonshine Shack is only available to guests that are also renting Bear Ridge. Moonshine Shack does not have wifi but does have Satellite TV.

Our cabins are professionally cleaned and provided with all linens and towels, a starter supply of soap, toilet paper, paper towels, dishwasher and laundry detergent, firewood and propane for the grill.

Great remote location

We really enjoyed just being able to get away from everything and relaxing for a few days. This cabin had everything we needed. We enjoyed sitting on the back porch listening to the birds and reading.

Comfortable house, all you need to relax

This property is very clean, with lots of extras as far as quality of decor and comfort. It is located in an area that has many things to do within a short drive. At the end of the day you will relax on the beautiful deck, rain or shine. There’s a wrap-around covered porch on all sides. Would definitely recommend!

anniversary trip

This cabin is amazing. We had the best time. We hiked up in the Parkway, walked around downtown Brevard, hiked Dupont and visited some breweries. We spent evenings and mornings on the very spacious porch-listening and watching all the birds.We enjoyed the peace and quiet!!! This cabin was very clean and had everything we needed to prepare meals. It was just so relaxing.I can't say enough good things about this cabin. We had all meals and morning coffee on porch just because it was like Heaven on the porch. We will definitely be coming back to stay here!!!!

Cabin in the trees

A relatively short, steep and winding drive from the highway up to the beautiful, comfortable cabin in the trees on top of a mountain, not far from towns, Bear Ridge was the perfect spot for my husband and I! We loved sitting on the wraparound porch being serenaded by the birds as we celebrated Mother’s Day and our anniversary. It was a great base for exploring the National Parks, Pisgah and DuPont Forests, and trails and waterfalls of Transylvania County and beyond! Great restaurants and local breweries, white squirrels and lovely shops and galleries, etc., in Pisgah Forest and Brevard. The cabin is well stocked, comfortable, safe (deadbolts and bear proof trash can), and there’s plenty of space inside and out to enjoy. I hope we get the chance to come back!

Quiet seclusion but close enough to town.

Very nice indoors and out. Well stocked, even firewood we didn't use due to the season. Highly recommended!

Cozy Cabin off the beaten path

We stayed at the cabin for 3 days with our adult children to attend a wedding and explore the DuPont and Pisgah Forest. The cabin was very clean, cozy and well equipped with everything you would need to prepare meals, including a few spices, cooking oil, sugar and honey for coffee, which was an unexpected surprise! The expansive wrap around porch was lovely with peaceful, serene views of the Pisgah Forest, perfect for enjoying a glass of wine in the evening and coffee in the mornings. This cabin is quite secluded in the forest and a long drive (about 3mi) up a steep mountain, and ends with a trek up a gravel road that leads to the cabin. We were surprised by how hair-raising the drive was up the mountain (full transparency we are from Florida where everything is flat!) and would not advise arriving for check-in at night as the roads are very dark and the gravel road to the cabin is easy to miss It was a bit inconvenient traveling up and down the mountain to get to the town; however, If you want to escape to the forest and don’t mind the drive up and down the mountain to get to amenities, then this is the place for you. We hiked the trails around Hooker, Triple and High Falls and visited Looking Glass falls. We also visited the cute town of Brevard, where we ate at several good restaurants. Overall, we had a great trip, but the take-a-way for us is that we would prefer a cabin that’s not quite as secluded as this one. All said, it’s beautiful mountain cabin!

Retreat from the real world

Such a well maintained cabin off the beaten path. Clean with elegant views and the feeling of being off grid. Has its own little seperate guest house. Enjoy the real wood burning fireplace or the huge outside deck. Just a fantastic place to relax. Plus short drives to parks, waterfalls and majestic little towns like Brevard. This is a 5 star stay!

Terrific home!

This home was just what we needed. Close to town but offering a peaceful respite from the everyday. Spent hours enjoying the view from the deck. Snuggled by the fire at night. Kitchen is well stocked and the beds are comfortable. Hope to return again soon.

Savannah folks enjoying your cabin

The cabin and location was perfect for what we were looking for. Something secluded and near the forest, and not far from lots of hiking. Absolutely perfect place to come back to in the evenings to rest up for more adventures during the day

Great Mountain Getaway!

We enjoyed our stay in the Mountainside cabin. The location is great. It is very close to Brevard which has many options for dining. The cabin was clean and very well equipped. We didn’t prepare meals there, but everything you need is there if you want to cook. Highly recommend this cabin.

Perfect Getaway!

Beautiful property that is nestled about 3 miles up in the mountains. The property had everything thay we could have possibly needed on hand, making it very easy for us to travel light. The view is amazing, and the peace and quiet allowed us to leave behind the hustle of the day to day. This was a perfect choice if you really want to get away from it all and still have the feel of having everything you want or need at your fingertips. I look forward to coming back!

Great Vacation

Wonderful, private, secluded location - surrounded by nature. One of the first things we noticed was how clean everything was. The atmosphere was very cozy, and the furniture was extremely comfortable as were the beds. Loved working in the kitchen! The back porch was a favorite place to visit and enjoy the surrounding forest. It was such a relaxing time for all of us. Everything we needed was provided and then some. The only thing I missed was measuring cups and spoons, but it wasn't a bit deal. We went into Brevard, with the pup, and had a great lunch at Corky's Dawg House. We were able to take the dog inside to order and then enjoy a shaded picnic table outside. Very dog friendly. We went to the downtown section of Brevard and looked around a little. We bought some yummy fudge at Forever Fudge and visited O. P. Taylor's. It was a short visit, but it truly felt like home while we were there. Thank you for sharing your awesome cabin with us.

Perfect mountain hideaway

Such a beautiful and quiet property, well off the beaten path. Everything we could’ve needed was provided. As a lover of nature, I was so excited about the wrap-around porch which made you feel like you were in an amazing treehouse, actually up in the canopy of the tall, beautiful trees surrounding the property. And yet still a quick drive to town. Perfect spot!

Mountain Getaway

We decided last year to rent this property for a month to get away from the Florida heat. This property was wonderful and worth our stay. We also had friends and family stay for a few days and they loved it as well. We were close to trails, tubing, breweries and plenty of restaurants. We will definitely do this again next year. Thank you 😊

About the host

Hosted by Mandi Burdette Looking Glass Property Management

Why they chose this property

We chose to purchase rental property in the Brevard area due to its proximity to the beautiful scenery, wildlife, outdoor activities (i.e., hiking, fly-fishing, rock climbing, and bike riding, etc.) available in the hundreds of acres of state and national forest in the Blue Ridge Mountains. In addition, Brevard is a charming Appalachian town that offers a thriving music and arts community, as well as fantastic shopping and dining.

What makes this property unique

While a mere 10-15 minute drive to wonderful downtown Brevard area, visitors to this cabin will enjoy a private, secluded haven complete with astonishing views, a beautiful setting atop Mine Mountain, and the potential to see a large variety of the wildlife indigenous to this region (including the unusual white squirrels Brevard is known for).
