The owner was helpful and communicative ahead of and during our stay. The hot tub was clean and ready to go when we arrived, and the kids loved playing all the games available at the house. We walked to breakfast and dinner in Brevard, and the walk was short enough that our kids (ages 5-9) didn't complain! The beds were comfortable. We had a great time and would definitely consider staying again.

We are from the area and we’re coming home to visit family and friends for Christmas and needed a place that our dog could stretch his legs and run around. The house was perfect and I am glad we found it for future trips! The foosball table was a hit too!!! Also, I HAVE NEVER STAYED IN A HOUSE THIS FULLY STOCKED! I feel like we moved into someone’s private home that wasn’t a rental property. Stay here if you’re searching.

We had a wonderful time at this lovely home! Very clean, an abundance of amenities provided (very well stocked kitchen, toiletries, plenty of towels for bath and hot tub.) Beds are super comfy. Lovely guest bath. Huge master bedroom with access to back deck area, hot tub, etc. Our dogs loved the big backyard to run around and watch the squirrels. Game room and living room were perfect for our family to gather and spend time together.

We loved staying at this house! The location is walking distance to downtown, the large fenced in yard was great for our two dogs, the rooms were cozy and very comfortable, the kitchen is stocked with everything we could ever need, the bed we slept in was comfortable with nice linens, the game room had so many fun games to fill our down time, the hot tub on the deck locked very inviting, the complementary bottle of wine and six pack of beer were a very nice touch to our awesome stay! There was so much to do just in the house alone, one wouldn’t have to leave at all. We will be back!!!

We all loved this house! The back deck was a great size and shaded by trees in the afternoon. The location in regards to Brevard was fantastic - everything was so accessible. The neighborhood was quiet - met the backyard neighbor through our dogs checking each other out! (Loved the fenced yard!)As the owner mentioned, the kitchen was super well stocked and organized. Everything was as advertised plus!

The house is fabulous. One of the main reasons I booked this place was because the owners have an impeccable reputation. I knew it would be a great place to stay, and it didn’t disappoint.The home was completely equipped with everything you need. Very clean. Comfortable beds. Hot tub was wonderful. Backyard fully fenced for our sweet little furbaby. Nice neighborhood, great walking, and close to everything. Can’t imagine finding a better place to stay. We will definitely be back to this gem of a vacation rental.

About the host

Your host

Host profile image
I am John Taylor and own one of the top ten toy stores in the world! Right in the middle of Brevard N.C. is O.P.Taylor's toy store!"The coolest toy store on the planet!"
My wife Susie and I have been buying, renting and selling real estate for years, after renting a VRBO in Maine last year we thought that this house would make a perfect short term rental. O.P.Taylor's "Big Game" house became available after a year long remodel we think you will love it?

Why they chose this property

A recient comment upon arrival from one of our guests.
1/22/2020, 5:08 PM
My my my! Wow...just wow. We've rented dozens of vrbo's over the years and I have to say your rental "first impression" knocks it out of the park! The welcoming lights on, the little notes here and there, the wine and beer...such nice, top-notch touches. Thank you so much for all you've done to make us feel so very comfortable and welcome 😊

The house is within walking distance of downtown Brevard and the world famous Brevard Music Center. It is also a short bike ride to the Bracken Mountain Trail, a challenging ride for any level of mountain biker.
Although the house is located close to the action, it is nestled in a very quiet residential neighborhood.
Brevard has so much to offer any visitor, from 200 waterfalls, thousands of miles of hiking and biking trails, the Brevard Music Center, square dancing in the street, lots of excellent restaurants and breweries, you will be so busy you will wonder why we bothered to put TV's in the house!

What makes this property unique

The plan on this house is to give it to our daughter when she gets married. That doesn't look like it is going to happen anytime soon, so we are listing on VRBO.The care and love that went into restoring and modernizing this house will be obvious to anyone that sees it, we want our daughter to have a home that will last a lifetime!
