Pisgah Retreat w/ Hot Tub & Private River Access
Pisgah Private Retreat is the perfect getaway for relaxation for the whole family. If you are looking for a calm vacation that has great access to hikes, water falls, and close to Brevard, NC. Listen to the river while soaking in the hot tub or hanging chair on the covered deck.
We are a family friendly listing that has a pack n` play, kids books, utensils and games. Bring your dogs ($150 fee) to enjoy our fully fenced in 3+ acre property. Located on the North Fork of the French Broad River.
We are conveniently located about 10 minutes from the Headwaters Outfitters, 20 minutes from Brevard, 30 minutes to The Hub Tavern, and just 45 minutes from the AVL airport. We are approximately 1 hour from Asheville. There is skiing only 35 minutes away at the Sapphire Valley Ski Resort. This property beautifully located with the Pisgah National Forest on one side and the North Fork French Broad River on the other. There is only one neighbor up the road that you cannot see from the property.
One guest recently said: `We were thrilled with the stay and location. We saw 5 waterfalls very close by: Lemon Falls, Bird Rock Falls, Cathedral and French Broad Falls, and Dill Falls. The house was immaculate. Comfy throw blankets, comfy beds and pillows. Great shower soaps. Beautiful property, every comfort to enjoy the beautiful mountain property. Easy access.`
Got an RV? We have a full hook-up spot available as an add-on($50/day) to this rental. 50amp breaker, Septic, and water. Reach out for more info.
Driveway/Entry: Upon entering our home, you will be safely nestled inside a 3+ acre lot that is gated and fully fenced in for your dog(s) to enjoy. The home is on top of the gravel driveway and is well lit should you arrive in the later hours. The driveway is gravel and is steep, but most cars can handle it without a problem. The entry code for the door will be communicated to you by the host the day before check-in. There is wifi on the property, but no cell service. To call from the house, you must activate wifi calling on your device. The wifi is password protected and will be communicated the day of check-in along with the door lock code.
The Home: We have 3 bedrooms with 4 beds(1 king, 2 queens, and a futon queen) to sleep, 8 people. The master has a king bed and a queen futon couch that folds down into a bed. The nightstand lamps have a USB plug-in so you can charge your device right next to your bed if desired. The master bath has a stand-up shower as well as a massive tub for bathing and relaxing. The double vanity and the walk-in closet give you plenty of room to spread out. Bedroom 2 features a queen bed and shares a Jack and Jill full bathroom, with its own sink. There is a nightstand with lamp w/ USB ports for charging your device. There is also a smart TV with streaming available(please sign in to your own streaming services). Bedroom 3 also features a queen-size bed and a nightstand with a lamp that has USB ports for charging your device. *The bedside lamps for all bedrooms are operated by touch. This means to turn the light on, all you have to do is tap the metal base of the lamp. It’s that simple but is confusing if you don’t know. The wifi is good, but not lightning speeds. Streaming could be slow at times, so please be patient.
The Kitchen: We have an open floor plan which has the kitchen set up for entertaining and hanging out with your whole group. The gas range and full cooking setup include pots, pans, utensils, mixing bowls, coffee maker, toaster, electric kettle with temperature control, cutting boards, and more.
The Living room: Our living room offers a sectional couch as well as 2 comfy chairs. We have a large Smart Tv for watching movies. Please sign in to your own streaming services for access.
The Porch: Overlooking the property and river, the covered porch and features 5 person hot tub, a large sectional couch and a hanging chair, perfect for chilling with a beer or glass of wine in the evenings. Soak in the hot tub while listening to the sounds and views of the river. This property is magical with the Pisgah National Forest as the back yard.
Fire pit: There is a fire pit in the upper lot above the house. There is firewood in the greenhouse as well as folding chairs. There is a hose and a water hydrant to put the fire out when done. There is also a horse shoe pit that is the works up there as well.
RV Hookup: We have a full hookup rv connections at the lower parking area(additional fee $50/day). There is a 50amp breaker(power), septic hook up, and water. We do not book this spot separately, it`s only available as an add-on if you book the house too. We can accommodate up a 36ft RV. Please reach out if interested.
The Property: Our home is fully fenced in. Your dog may roam free, but please pick up any droppings and make sure the landscaped is respected. Any damage to the landscaping or droppings left behind by pets could incur a damage fee. There is a $150 pet fee.
The River: Across the street from our home is the North Fork of the French Broad River. This river front land that is part of our property. Please feel free to use this as part of your vacation rental. Basically we have the space between the 2 gaurdrails. Fishing license required FYI.
Landscaping: We do have a landscaping crew that comes every other week. We will do our best to communicate their schedule with our guests, but be aware that they may come while you`re at the property.
Laundry: We have a full-size washer and dryer. Please use the supplied detergent pods and place the single pod directly into the wash drum with the clothes.
Groceries/Dining: We are a ways from the closest grocery store and dining, so it’s advised that you stock up before arriving at our home. There is an Ingles Grocery as well as an organic food shop Food Matters in Brevard. Brevard has many great restaurants and Asheville has some of the best breweries in the world.
The North Fork French Broad River: Our property encompasses the North Fork river that you see to the left as you approach the property. Make sure and pick up your NC fishing license before casting a line. While we haven’t fully prepared the river access yet, you can still access the river and fish, get your feet wet, or just view the beautiful river. SOAK OR SWIM AT YOUR OWN RISK.
The Parkway: Our home is located 11 miles from the Beech Gap entrance to the blue ridge parkway. The views are breathtaking and the fall colors are as good as it gets.
Rules: The house is operating off a private well and septic system. Please do not flush any personal hygienic materials down the toilets or drains. Please only flush the supplied toilet paper down the toilets.
We are bordered by the Pisgah National Forest, and there could be wildlife in the vicinity. Please be mindful and not put any meat or bear attracting food in the trash cans until you check out. If staying longer than a few nights, contact the host to dispose of meat waste.
Please care for our furniture and items in the house like it was your own. We love our property and expect you to treat it with the same respect as your own.
Please be mindful of our landscaping. There has been a lot of love poured into this property for your enjoyment, so please treat our land with respect. There is an electric fence surrounding the property to keep the wildlife outside. Please don’t touch this part of the fence.
Please have fun and make lasting memories that you can share for a lifetime. Our goal with this property is to help our guests get away from the hustle and bustle of regular life. This private retreat is meant to rejuvenate and help give you access to reconnect with nature. If you get to this point in my listing, I personally know that you will have an amazing time at our home and will hopefully get to spend some quality time in nature at the same time.
Local Attractions: River Fishing across the road. Lake Toxaway 20 minutes. The Gorges State Park is 25 minutes(waterfalls, hiking), 30 minutes from Panther town(mountain biking; Hiking: waterfalls)

The river across the street is part of the property and is private access to the North Fork French Broad River. This river is known for amazing fly fishing.
Self check-in with a key-code entry so guests can check-in any time after 4pm and as late as needed.
We are just 10 minutes from the Headwaters Outfitters for all your fishing, boating or paddling needs. They also sell fishing licenses.
