About Sandra Whitaker
Thirteen years ago we bought 13 acres of land to build a cabin to vacation in with plans to later build a small retirement home and use the cabin as quest quarters. When we ended up building a larger house than planned, we decided to rent out the cabin.
Don is a retired Cardiologist, and Sandra is a retired teacher. We have hiked this area for over 30 years and knew that we would want to spend the rest of our lives here.
While we genuinely love hiking, Don is passionate about taking pictures of wild flower and nature, and Sandra is very active at Brevard Health & Racquet Club.
It’s great being able to walk out our door with our dogs to so many beautiful trails. There is so much wild life to discover.

Guestbook comments from the owner
Thank you so much for sharing your wonderful cabin with us. We appreciate how all the rooms are immaculate and beautifully appointed. I love the super soft blankets on the beds! We enjoyed the scenery, the musical DVDs, and the kitchen stocked with everything we needed for all our meals. It's hard to leave such a wonderful place.

Perfect little cabin!
My husband and I stayed in this cabin for a few days while vacationing in Brevard. The cabin was less than a 10 minute drive from some of the most beautiful waterfalls we had ever seen. It's super secluded! One night it rained for a bit, and the sound it made on the tin roof was like a symphony. The cabin was very clean and comfortable, and the owners of the cabin were very hospitable. We felt right at home.
Even though we're nature freaks and spent most of our time hiking, it was nice to have the town of Brevard within a short driving distance from the cabin. We went out one night for dinner, and the town itself was very charming, with a nice selection of locally owned restaurants. We even saw a white squirrel!
We will absolutely stay at this cabin again the next time we plan a hiking trip!
Thank you so much!
Cozy cabin in the woods!
This is a charming cabin, well-stocked with thoughtful amenities and lots of helpful advice from the owner. It's tucked away from the road with interesting walking and hiking trails all around. It's a perfect getaway for reading, writing or enjoying nature. Short drives to neighboring towns.
Beautiful place
Quiet, secluded yet in a neighborhood environment. Places to hike, explore and get alone. Very nice owner who respects your privacy.
Great second visit to this property
Hubby and I, as well as our 2 dogs, greatly enjoyed our second visit to Sandra's wonderful cabin. We enjoyed hiking trails that were just outside the door, as well as visiting an apple farm, attending a play in Brevard, eating out as well as being able to eat in. The cabin is very comfortable with all the creature comforts we needed. It is very enjoyable to sit in the back porch rockers after dinner and enjoy the cool mountain breezes. Also the sunroom is a great place to sit in a rocker and read a book. Sandra was so kind to invite us to her beautiful backyard to witness the solar eclipse where we had better views than from the cabin. Can't wait to have a 3rd visit.
What a beautiful cabin in the woods! Secluded, yet so close to all the attractions of western NC.
The cabin is beautiful! It has everything you need--just show up with your suitcase! Dupont and Pisgah are so close. So are the quaint towns of Brevard, Hendersonville, and Flatrock. The cabin offers tranquility and the perfect setting to unwind and recharge.
We loved the cabin. Wish it was closer to town but overall a great place. The weather was beautiful.
Great place to get away from it all. Very quiet. Sandra was a wonderful host. Loved taking a walk with she & our dogs. The smells of the cut grass were lovely when going into town.
