Incredible cottage in downtown Brevard with hot tub!

Welcome to the perfect basecamp for your mountain adventure! The Red Cottage is on a beautiful downtown lot with abundant privacy landscaping and a large front yard that's fenced-in for pets! Located in the Lumber Arts District of Brevard, it is perfectly situated for easy walking access to all Brevard has to offer.

The cottage is at the back of the property. The front bungalow is our other vacation rental.

The cottage features a vaulted ceiling open floor plan great room, and maple floors. The bathroom features a glass door tile shower with 2 heads. There is a washing machine/dryer for your use.

Lovely cottage in a great location
We (two adults, 2 kids, 2 dogs) stayed in the red cottage over a long weekend after picking our oldest up from camp. It was an absolutely lovely house, and the owners were a delight to interact with. I would recommend this property to just about everyone out there; it's not large, but it's beautifully appointed, and the fenced-in front yard was great for our pups.

Host profile image
I am Gareth and I own the Session Chalet. I am a long-time Brevard local. I am a professional whitewater kayaker, avid mountain biker, skier, and fly fisherman. I have 2 other homes in Brevard that I rent. My goal is to make these houses truly unique and to provide my guests with a very special experience while visiting my favorite place on earth. Make sure to check out my other Brevard listings: THE RED BUNGALOW and THE RED COTTAGE. I live with Rhodo, my 30 lb. pup, either in Brevard, NC or Victor, Idaho, when not traveling for work or adventures. In addition to running these rentals, I also operate SESSION STUDIOS, my outdoor adventure videography business.

Why they chose this property

Beautiful landscaping and private feel make this a place you will want to return too.
