Whether you choose to go hiking, biking, shopping, or simply stay home and relax, this will undoubtedly become your family's new favorite home-away-from-home.

Upon arrival, you'll find easy access to the main level of the home through a welcoming entrance that leads into the main living space. The open-concept great room is bathed in natural light, thanks to a stunning wall of windows that frame the expansive mountain views. Vaulted tongue-and-groove ceilings and rustic beams pair perfectly with the comfortable furnishings, large flat-screen TV, and cozy stone fireplace with gas logs. Adjacent to the living area, the dining space features a table that comfortably seats 8—ideal for gathering together after a day of adventure.

It features a sofa, TV, DVD player, and a selection of games to keep everyone entertained. Just off the loft through double doors, is the primary bedroom suite, which boasts a king-sized bed, large TV, and a cozy seating area with a daybed—perfect for relaxing or enjoying a good book after a day of hiking. The ensuite bathroom features dual sinks and a walk-in shower.

On the main level, you'll find two bedrooms. Bedroom 2 offers a queen-sized bed, while Bedroom 3 has two sets of bunk beds, perfect for kids or adults alike. These two bedrooms share a full bathroom with a tub, large vanity with double sinks, and a separate water closet.

After a day of hiking in Pisgah National Forest, mountain biking in Dupont, fishing on the Davidson River, or exploring the quaint town of Brevard, Pisgah Retreat offers the perfect space to relax and unwind. Step out onto the large open deck and take in the expansive views. Fire up the gas grill and enjoy the evening breeze while dining al fresco at the large outdoor table.

Fantastic place

This was a fantastic place to stay outside of Brevard. It was convenient to all the things we wanted to do and see while there. Everything was incredibly clean, and the kitchen was well stocked. The porch and back windows made for beautiful mornings and evenings looking out over the mountains. We can’t wait to come back!

A piece of heaven in Pisgah Forest

This house was light-filled and perfect for our needs. Super well cared for, spotless, and well appointed. Something to note is that there is not alot of flexibility in checking in early or having a late check out. The check in time is a firm 4pm and the check out time is 10am which truly did cut time off our stay (especially check out). Nonetheless, the house was a good find!

Perfectly Wonderful!

This beautiful, peaceful place was the perfect home nestled in the trees with amazing views. We were impressed with the cleanliness, thoughtful touches, and comfortable spaces that were fully equipped with everything you would need. We enjoyed hours on the deck reading, birding, grilling, and rocking. We spotted a white squirrel in nearby Brevard and enjoyed the shops there. Evening rides through the countryside, a hike to a waterfall and the discovery of McCall Farm Produce close by added to our adventure. We hope to return in the near future!

Great mountain escape

Perfect house for my wife, mother, and I to have a mountain escape. We spend a lot of time in Brevard but this is the first time we've stayed on the side of a mountain - what a view! The fog in the valley at sunrise with the Fall leaves was spectacular. as were the night stars. The house was perfectly set up for our group. I was apprehensive about the drive up but the road is paved up the mountain and the last little bit of gravel driveway is not bad at all. Will definitely be staying here again. Thank you!

Excellent property, okay host

This property is managed by Pete Keuhne properties and the service was not the greatest. We had a few concerns and put out multiple calls and emails. It took the company days to return our call and then they said they couldn't help us. The only option they offered for one of the issues was a 10pm service call and we were told if we didn't choose this then no one was able to come out for the remainder of our stay. Otherwise, the property is absolutely gorgeous and we loved it there. My husband and I spent many hours on the porch enjoying the view. The kids enjoyed playing games upstairs in the loft area. The decor is just our style and we felt very comfortable and at home at this property. I would go back for sure but know not to have high expectations with the host.
