We had a wonderful experience at this home. The location is perfect (close to everything - downtown, hiking/biking, music venue, waterfalls, ...). The home was fully equipped with everything we needed and was very clean. The host provided all of the information we needed through messages and binders in the home. Checkin and checkout were seamless. We would choose this property any time we come to Brevard!

Jeff, thank you for the wonderful review! You were great guests. Please keep the bungalow in mind when planning your next visit to Brevard.
We had a wonderful stay at the Bracken Bungalow in Brevard. The house is lovely and very clean, and was the most organized property we have ever rented. There was a notebook with house details and everything in the house was labeled/organized thoughtfully. It was an easy 5 minute walk into the main shopping & restaurant area of Brevard. We highly recommend Bracken Bungalow!

The house is amazing, clean and close to downtown as well as the art district. Beautiful town with friendly people and atmosphere. The neighbors are extremely friendly and safe. Can’t say enough about the town and the property. Will stay there again if available.

The property was very well kept and clean and organized. It was a perfect size for three of us. And a great location close to downtown within walking distance.
The owners made it such a relaxing weekend as they thought of everything you may want or ask during your stay! This place is excellent, safe and close to everything. We are definitely booking again next year.

Sam, Thank you for your 5 star review! Please come back soon!
This is a lovely house, true to the photos and truly close to town. Brevard is a cute little town and we had no trouble finding places to eat and shops to stroll through. My daughter and I had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. We came to Brevard for some hiking and rock climbing. We were glad to have a washer and dryer for our dirty clothes, a well stocked kitchen for coffee and lunch making, and a cute porch to sit on in the evening. The beds were comfortable for us and we had plenty of sitting space. I would recommend this VRBO to friends!

Lori, thank you for the wonderful review. You were great guests and left the bungalow in great condition, thank you. Please come again sometime!
Bracken Bungalow was the perfect little getaway to a perfect little town. Beautiful home that fit all our needs. Owners are very thoughtful to the needs of renters. The sheets and towels that are provided make it a hassle free stay. We love a front porch to have coffee on in the mornings and end our evenings. Close to beautiful scenic hikes with gorgeous waterfalls and a fun downtown. Many local breweries close by. It was exciting to see our first white squirrel too! Definitely a welcoming home we will return to!
