Summer Haven - Your Adventure Retreat near Dupont and Pisgah National Forests
Your Perfect Outdoor Retreat in Western North Carolina (WNC)!
Looking for the ultimate basecamp for your outdoor adventures in WNC? Your search ends here! Nestled within a mile of the perimeter of DuPont State Forest, this charming home offers unparalleled access to nature's wonders.
Adventure at Your Doorstep
Imagine riding your bike to the trails, returning home for a leisurely lunch, then setting off to fish or float along a nearby river. Cap off your day with dinner in Cedar Mountain or Brevard, or simply unwind with a cookout and bonfire under the starry sky.
Convenient Dining Options
Located a short distance from the cabin, you'll find a variety of delights and supplies in the heart of Cedar Mountain. Whether you're craving a farm to table meal at the local cafe, a pint by the river at the Canteen, a tasting of local Moonshine and music, or need to pick up supplies at the outfitters store, it's all just a short stroll or ride away.
Secluded Serenity
Tucked away amidst the trees and mountain laurel, this home offers tranquility and privacy. Once accessible only to select family members, this private community now invites you to experience one of WNC's most beautiful and historic summer retreat locations.
Pet-Friendly Paradise
Bring along your furry companions (1 or 2 dogs allowed with prior approval) to share in the adventure! A fee of $100 is charged per dog and agreement to crate them when no one is home with them, ensuring their safety and your peace of mind. (Sorry, we don't allow cats due to allergies.)
Your Home Away From Home
With a maximum occupancy of four to five persons, this cozy cabin ensures your comfort while maintaining environmental sustainability. Please be mindful that our well and septic system necessitates adherence to this limit (not connected to public services). We have recently upgraded to Fiber Optic Cable based communication services for better internet, TV and phone options.
Interested? Reach out about booking. We can't wait to host your unforgettable WNC getaway!

About the host
Hosted by Melinda
We love adventure and beautiful places. We have been passionate kayakers, mountain bikers, cyclists, fly fishermen and explorers of new places for most of our lives.
Why they chose this property
This location has a wonderful long history, a beautiful historic outdoor chapel is our closest neighbor and there are many wild places to explore within just a short drive. This is a paradise location where you can play outdoors year 'round.
What makes this property unique
This is such a quiet and peaceful spot. I love walking the dogs down the road to a little creek with a swimming hole just big enough for cooling them off. Being able to ride your bike from the home to go mountain biking or cycling for the day is amazing. And we couldn't ask for nicer neighbors!
