About the host
Hosted by Scott
I’ve been a cyclist for over 30 years and have always loved climbing mountains. I actually stumbled upon this area by accident back in 1998, after getting lost on my way home from Florida, and I’ve been hooked ever since. The rugged terrain, peaceful remoteness, and low traffic make this an incredible spot for both road and mountain biking, hiking, and just about any outdoor adventure you can imagine. I wanted to create a little retreat, a shared space, where others could come experience the magic of this area for themselves. Whether you’re here to ride, hike, or simply unwind, you’re in for something special.
Why they chose this property
I specifically chose this area because of one simple truth: Location, Location, Location.
If you’re a cyclist on Strava, just take a look at where all the top rides go, they lead right here. We’re home to one of the most epic climbs around: Highway 215. Want to test yourself on an 8-mile climb averaging 7%? It’s literally right out the front door. Mountain bikers, you’re covered too, the Davidson River MTB area is just 4–5 miles away, with legendary single-track and epic rides all within easy reach. I ride it myself. No need to load up your bikes and drive somewhere, you’re already there.
This spot also makes a perfect launch pad for exploring the Blue Ridge Parkway, countless waterfalls, hiking trails, trout streams, and more. And when you’re ready for a little town time, downtown Brevard is just a stone’s throw away for shopping, great food, and a touch of nightlife. If you’re looking for a place that puts you right in the action, but still gives you that peaceful, remote mountain feel, this is it.
