Walk to Brevard's downtown shops and restaurants. Conveniently located near Bracken Mountain Preserve, Brevard Music Center, and local bicycle path, each within 5 minutes. The neighborhood features a zip line park (100 yards away), and the Tannery Skate Park just around the corner.

There's a king size bed in the master bedroom, and a pack n play fits perfectly in the closet, affording infants their own sleeping space.

Absolutely loved our week long stay here. My wife was able to WFH during the week with the WiFi. I was minutes away from rock climbing at Looking Glass. We walked to lunch and dinner routinely during the week. The space is incredibly livable and the king size bed is incredibly comfortable. We would absolutely stay here again.

About the host

Hosted by Michelle Taylor

Host profile image
Michelle was born and raised in Southern California. After college, she met a Brevard native at church in Washington DC. International careers took us overseas for the next several years, then we repatriated back to Brevard. We have lived here for a decade. Michelle homeschools our four children ages 6-12. We love history and love the opportunity to share this historic house with you. We invite you to fall in love with our beautiful mountains as we have. Let us know if there are any ideas we can share with you in terms of waterfalls to visit or things to do while you are in town!
