About the host
Hosted by Charles Merrill
Both my wife and I were born in Transylvania County. We have recently retired and enjoy travel, family, and volunteering. I served on the Brevard Fire Dept. for almost 40 years and just recently "hung up my fire gear" too. We have two sons and 6 grandchildren who also live in the area. We love Brevard and believe you will too. We'll do everything we can to make your stay a time you'll always remember.
Why they chose this property
This was my parents' home and I grew up here. In the early 1900s it was home and office to a local dentist. My parents, Riley and Marge, bought it from the Loftis family around 1940. They loved to open it to friends and family and because they loved it, we decided to make it available to visitors to the area. We live next door so we will be available to help make your stay as pleasant as possible.
What makes this property unique
We are less than a mile from the town square, Brevard Music Center, Camp Illahee, and Keystone Camp. There's plenty of parking along with a locked building for bike and equipment storage and a bike washing station. We can host a large family gathering or a group of friends who just want to explore Brevard and the surrounding area.
