We had such a great time! This place was so well and thoughtfully appointed!! Blankets, treats, and toys for the dog, snacks and sips for us on arrival, and so many other little things to make the place feel truly special. The grounds were amazing, and the house was clean and cozy! We’d love to come back!

Response from VrboOwner on 6 Oct, 2026
Thanks for staying with us! That sense of seclusion is actually one of the things we love most about Peaceful Getaway. The cabin sits on our private 26-acre mountain property, so you really do feel like you’ve escaped into the mountains, surrounded by woods, trails, and nature. But you’re definitely not far from everything. It’s only about 6 minutes to the nearest market, where you can grab groceries, pizza, or even a drink at the pub, about 10 minutes to a full-size grocery store, and roughly 15 minutes from some of the world-class hiking, waterfalls, and outdoor adventures that make this area so special. For us, that’s always been the magic of the property: your own peaceful, private mountain retreat, while still being just minutes from pretty much anything you could need.

Wonderfully outfitted cabin, everything you could need for a nice, relaxing stay. Hosts are very easy to communicate with and the property is fantastic. We loved the hot tub and feeding the trout in their pond every morning while drinking a cup of coffee. Would 1000% recommend

Very quant cabin. Location a little tricky on how to get there, but host helped with that. Enjoyed the hiking trips near by and coming back to the clean hot tub to soak in and enjoyed the outdoor wildlife sounds. Even got to spot a white squirrel.

The cabin is beautiful and has been well cared for. The hosts were great! The cabin is in a very remote location and driving to it was not easy which would have been nice to know before deciding on the cabin.

Response from VrboOwner on 16 Jul, 2026
Thank you for your feedback. We appreciate the kind words about us and the cabin. Peaceful Getaway sits high on a mountain ridge, where the winding drive and final gravel road are part of what creates the quiet serenity, and feeling of having your own private sanctuary in the Blue Ridge Mountains. While it feels removed from everyday life, many guests are surprised to find they're only about 5 minutes from pizza, beer, and everyday essentials, about 10 minutes from groceries, restaurants, and breweries, and roughly 15-20 minutes from the shops of downtown Brevard, DuPont State Forest, and miles of hiking and mountain biking trails. We appreciate your comments and will update our listing to better describe the mountain setting so future guests know exactly what to expect before they arrive.

My husband and I had a wonderful getaway. The cabin and property were wonderful. Very clean and we loved the pond, outdoor fireplace and hot tub! Location was perfect for day trips to go hiking to see all the beautiful waterfalls. It was wonderful to be able to bring our dog so she could join us on the hikes. The owners were very helpful with any questions we had. I highly recommend.
