About this property

Rustic and Sophisticated Accommodation

This rustic and sophisticated cabin is nestled on a mountainside near the French Broad River. It is located on nine private acres secluded from the Partridge Hill main house where the owners live. Partridge Hill was once owned by the author Hamilton Basso who was a close friend of Thomas Wolfe. Wolfe and Basso spent many hours on Partridge Hill and would love the inviting ambience of the cabin known as The Partridge Nest. The cabin features two queen-sized bedrooms and two full baths with an additional sleeping area in the cozy writers loft. Amenities include a beautiful and well-stocked kitchen, dining area, wood-burning fireplace, and a full screened porch with a mountain view. The interior design is comfortable, inviting, and mountain inspired.

An ideal get-away spot, the cabin is secluded yet only four miles from Brevard where there are fine restaurants, the Brevard Music Center, Brevard College, and many great shops. The Pisgah National
Forest is just minutes away from your front door and offers some of the finest hiking, rock climbing, and fly fishing in the East. Majestic waterfalls are all around the area as well. The Brevard Music Center is renowned nationwide for it's summer musical presentations and it's students typically go on to major careers in music. Keith Lockhart is the artistic director and principal conductor.

You will forget time as you sit on the old-fashioned porch swing enjoying the mountain view or reading a book in the cozy loft. You will return to the real world rested, renewed and looking forward to your next visit to The Partridge Nest.

The Partridge Nest was featured in the February 2018 issue of OUR STATE magazine in North Carolina. There are several pictures and a very informative story.

Exceptional property

We spent a weekend at this cabin when we took our youngest to his camp drop-off and picked our oldest up from his - this location was ideal: very close to Brevard which is a really neat town, but also “away” enough that it is private and has a mountain retreat feel. The cabin itself is an absolute gem - it’s beautifully and comfortably decorated - very cozy in its “feel” while also providing “elbow room” for a family The back porch was an ideal spot to enjoy my coffee in the morning and a glass of wine at night. We met one of our hosts when he came to say hello and make sure we were comfortable; we loved chatting with him and appreciate his taking the time to be a true “host” and offer lovely Southern gracious hospitality to us. We truly enjoyed ever moment of being there and we will return! If you’re thinking about this one, book it!!!!! You will not be disappointed!

A Little Slice of Heaven

This cabin was a wonderful find! It has everything you need and then some! We really enjoyed the mountain views from the porch swing, watching the light change the shapes of the mountains as the sun set. It's close to Brevard and great hiking. We are already planning a return trip!

The Partridge Nest

We had a very enjoyable stay. The cabin was very cozy and well maintained and decorated with many antiques throughout. We will definitely stay there again. The owners were very nice and accommodating and gave very good details of a variety of things like locking the door a certain way. Thank you for opening your sweet cabin to us.

We will definitely stay here again. We have been coming to Brevard for a couple of years but branched out to stay in a house this time. The hosts were absolutely fantastic. The house was a home that was well stocked and comfortable. It provided anything we could ask for.

Mom and Daughters Weekend Away

We were all meeting up to celebrate our Mother’s birthday and have a quick relaxing get away. The cabin was exactly what we needed and were hoping for! As soon as we walked in we loved all the details and charm of a cabin that somehow made you feel like you were home. Close to Brevard and all of the great trails to hike. We are already looking forward to a return visit. The owners were so nice and welcoming. The perfect place for a mountain trip!

Delightful Mountain Hideaway

Loved our girl’s weekend at this delightful mountain home. The owners have taken great care in giving this mountain retreat a vintage cabin vibe with all of the comforts of home. Screened porch is pretty with a view of the mountains. The owners were welcoming and helpful. We would definitely stay here again.

Far away but close to town.

The house was tucked away so much so that you felt that you were in the middle of nowhere, but really only a few minutes away from town. Enjoyed the house because of the rustic feel to it and overall layout. Will definitely book again.

Totally peaceful!

We arrived late night in the rain to this sweet home with all kinds of charm. It is very comfy and cozy and decorated in a classy but rustic style. Wish we could have stayed longer but we will return! Don’t delay, book this private gem of a spot as your home base to explore Brevard and the mountains.

Our stay was everything promised and more. The house was secluded and quiet yet only a short distance from town so you had the best of both worlds. Charlie and Jean were very quick to respond to any questions we had. I appreciated their help with directions and local information. This was my first time booking a VRBO and I was very pleased. I would definitely stay here again.

Thanksgiving

We decided to keep Thanksgiving simple this year, pack a cooler with all the fixins’ and head to the mountains for 5 days. We chose this cabin and are glad we did. It’s a peaceful and quiet location that’s not too far from town as well as the trails we love. Our kids loved it as well and were pretty bummed when it was time to go. We will definitely be back!

Beautiful cabin in the woods with a mountain view.

This cabin was simply wonderful. It had everything we needed for our weekend getaway. The cabin was beautifully decorated with a rustic flare. The mountain views from the screen porch on the back of the house were stunning. The owner was extremely helpful with making sure we knew where things were in the cabin and initially with our reservation. I have rented quite a few cabins in the Western NC area. This cabin has been my favorite so far. We would definitely stay there again.

Our Annual Cabin Getaway!

We've been coming to this beautiful cabin for several years. The owners, Charlie and Jean, have built an incredible rustic place. The interior design is amazing and creative. We haven't seen anything better. It's our perfect getaway place. The wood-burning fireplace and back porch is great. We don't have a single complaint. We'll be back every year!

AMAZING!!!

We will absolutely be back! The house was so homy and inviting. Since we went mid October, the fall colors were lovely and the fireplace was a great way to end each day. Brevard has a cute little small town feel with great shops and restaurants. We also loved how much hiking was nearby and some incredible waterfalls. The beds were comfy, sheets soft and clean, games, books, and fun antiques around the house. The porchswing was also a big hit. Absolutely worth the visit!
