We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. We only had to bring food..everything was provided for our stay. The cabin was clean and had many extras such as firewood games, books, etc. Sandra the host was very helpful with directions and recommendations for hiking trails and parks in the area. We definitely had a great experience.
Cabin was private and cozy! Close to Brevard and Hendersonville. Host was easy to work with. Well stocked kitchen and comfortable beds. We enjoyed our Spring Break getaway!
Very comfortable home base for our stay in mountains. The kitchen is adequate for cooking most anything and there is a grill although we didn’t use it.We took a few waterfall hikes in DuPont and Pisgah forest and of course had to stop by sliding rock. Ran out of time to visit Cradle of Forestry but I think it would be interesting. Enjoyed several restaurants in Brevard including The Square Root, Corky’s Dog house and Pisgah Bakehouse.Location is very quiet as distant from traffic noise but still very accessible to everything in area. This is our second stay in property and we would stay again when visiting area.
Even though you will see other homes on the drive up, once you arrive, you will settle in to the peace and quiet of this home surrounded by trees and beauty. The home is comfortable and lovely - the arrowhead collection alone is amazing - but the beauty of the property and feeling like there are no neighbors is magical. This was just what we needed. Thank you.
Beautiful and immaculate cabin in the woods... Easy drive to Dupont State Forest and Pisquah National Forest for hiking which was the purpose of our trip... The waterfalls are beautiful! Also, not far from downtown Brevard for shops and restaurants! Sandra, the host was always available and very helpful... Wonderful working fireplace for chilly evenings. Property itself is lush and green with both a front and a back porch. What else could you ask for! We will definitely return here if we are in the area again. Would highly recommend this property.
We came into town over the weekend for my brother's wedding in Brevard. We picked this cabin for its dog friendliness and affordability. The only downside was realizing we couldnt use the upstairs shower because it leaks into the smoke detector in the celing below which caused a noisy chaotic start to our first morning.

I'm so sorry that you had to deal with the smoke detector going off. Unfortunately you spilled water on the outside of the shower and water did go into the smoke detector which caused the problem. I have since had the smoke detector disconnected close to the shower and had a new one put in downstairs further away from the shower so that this won't happen again.
My third stay at this cabin. Whenever I need a relaxing break from life, I love coming to this cabin. The main attraction for me is the wonderful fireplace. Sandra is extremely accommodating and goes beyond to make her guests feel welcome and comfortable. The place is very clean and neat and homey. I love it.
Nice location and just as advertised. Very peaceful neighborhood and the back porch is wonderful to just escape. Highly recommend the Brevard Diner for good home cooked food.
The host was an absolute pleasure to communicate with and got back to me quickly anytime I had a question. The home is stunning and the indoor fireplace a dream. We did struggle with keeping hot water going in the shower with two individual back to back showers. Overall, we would recommend this cabin and would gladly stay again.

I'm sorry that you ran out of hot water while taking a shower, but out of the 14 years of renting my cabin, you are the first to report this predicament. My hot water heater was also just replaced two years ago, so it should be in good working order

A perfect getaway for a much needed vacation. The cabin was clean, well-equipped and comfortable. The host provided excellent instructions for check-in and check-out and quickly responded when we had a question. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and look forward to staying again.
Beautiful cabin at the top of a mountain. We loved our stay and were sad to leave. The cabin was cozy, clean, had all the necessities and was so peaceful. It was very close to DuPont Forest, Brevard and lots of scenic drives. We would definitely book again in the future.
We always have enjoyed our stay in NC. Our host is very welcoming and enjoyed visiting the area in Pisgah Forest, Brevard, and Hendersonville. We visited Biltmore House this year, think it is our 4th visit. Loved the Christmas decor. Looking forward to visiting again next year. Thanks Sandra for your hospitality.

About the host
Hosted by Sandra Whitaker
Thirteen years ago we bought 13 acres of land to build a cabin to vacation in with plans to later build a small retirement home and use the cabin as quest quarters. When we ended up building a larger house than planned, we decided to rent out the cabin.
Don is a retired Cardiologist, and Sandra is a retired teacher. We have hiked this area for over 30 years and knew that we would want to spend the rest of our lives here.
While we genuinely love hiking, Don is passionate about taking pictures of wild flower and nature, and Sandra is very active at Brevard Health & Racquet Club.
It’s great being able to walk out our door with our dogs to so many beautiful trails. There is so much wild life to discover.
