Modern and Cozy Getaway in Pisgah Forest w/ Fireplace & Sauna

Make yourself at home in the trees at Loam Haus, a contemporary Cabin nestled in the woods of Pisgah National Forest, just 10 mins. from downtown Brevard. Mountain bikers come for the 200 miles of renowned, singletrack trails and stay for phenomenal sunsets on the two-level deck, the toasty gas fireplace (+ outdoor fire pit), the swaying hammock, and three ultra-comfy bedrooms. Prefer your adventures on foot? The hiking trails surrounding Loam Haus—in the Land of Waterfalls—are equally unforgettable.

The interiors at Loam Haus are as luminous as the natural beauty that surrounds it. Custom stonework, like the fireplace and entry stairs, make the home feel like a natural extension of the landscape, and art prints pay homage to the beauty of the Appalachians. Meanwhile, clean lines, geometric tiles, and a contemporary kitchen (complete with a next-level coffee station) bring just the right amount of modern style to the space.

We are mountain-bike friendly! On the lower level, find wall storage for up to 7 bikes, plus a work area so you can prep and repair for a day on Pisgah’s advanced trails (or an easier day at DuPont State Forest). We also provide cycling water bottles for staying hydrated, and a mini-fridge for chilling your post-ride beers. Pop one open around the fire pit in the golden hours of early evening, while someone else sears burgers on the deck’s gas grill for dinner.

Plush furniture on the deck places you in front of a beautiful mountain view… or sneak down to the hammock on the lower-level deck for a little solitude.

Three bedrooms at Loam House include two King-size bedrooms upstairs and one Queen bedroom downstairs. The two King bedrooms share access to a spacious bath with a walk-in shower. Claim the first King bedroom for yourself—it features a private deck with a plush loveseat, perfect for midnight stargazing.

Downstairs, a Queen-sized bedroom has its own en-suite bath with a tub/shower combination and a desk area for catching up on emails.

The kitchen comes fully equipped with a stove, fridge, and dishwasher, plus small appliances. Before you hit the trails, get your blood flowing with a freshly pulled espresso on the Breville, or fill your travel mug from the one-cup brewer.

Other perks include:

-Two 60” flat-screen Smart TVs (Netflix) on the main and lower floors
-Stacked washer + dryer
-Free parking on-site
-One mile to the entrance of Pisgah National Forest, with some of the best biking and hiking trails anywhere in the Appalachians

One of the east coast’s best playgrounds for outdoor adventure, western NC features over 1.5 million acres of protected land. Pisgah National Forest alone—where Loam House is located—comprises 500,000 acres and 2,000+ square miles, ranging from elevation from mountain peaks to rushing rivers.

Pisgah and Brevard are gaining national (and even worldwide) notoriety for their challenging, epically rewarding singletrack mountain bike trails. Pisgah’s Black Mountain trail is among the most popular, with its sweeping views from the top of Lower Black (Hickory Knob).

DuPont State Recreational Forest, just 12 miles from the rental, offers more beginner-friendly trails that will still take your breath away.

Stop by Squatch Bike and Brews in Brevard (10-minute drive) for trail updates, repairs, or to chat with knowledgeable locals. While you’re in Brevard, fuel up on eggs benedict or Belgian waffles (or both) at Brevard Diner, or pretzel dogs and milkshakes at Corky’s Dawg House.
