Wonderful and responsive host. The cabin was very clean and comfortable. The yard and fire pit area were not as private as we would have preferred but everything met our needs and it was easy to access all the hiking we wanted to do in the area.

We had a wonderful stay! Everything was very clean and we had everything we needed for our short weekend away from home! Brenda was very quick with responding and checking that we had everything we needed including recommendations which was so kind! The home was so centrally located and easy to find as well as being close to everything you need for a great stay! We will definitely return when we visit the area again! Thank you for having us!

Super clean cottage with great walkability to town and to Brevard college! Woke up to deer outside our window and loved the neighbors friendly cats that would visit us every time we rolled in. The creek is behind the home but cannot view it from the home.

The fire pit was very basic and unkempt. I had to wipe off mold, mildew and bird poop off the chairs before they could be used. It faced the cement foundation of the cottage. The creek was more like an overgrown ditch. There were no scenic views, deck, porches etc. However, the house was clean and close to town, we did not think it close enough to walk though. The host responded quickly to our disappointment and did send firewood, starter sticks and cleaned up the fire pit.
