We keep coming back to this home because it has everything we need for a relaxing week in Brevard! It’s in a great location to walk downtown to shopping and dining. It’s very clean and has a great layout for families and quiet spaces for reading. The screened porch overlooks a sweet backyard with birds, chipmunks, rabbits and even a white squirrel or two! The neighborhood is quiet and we feel very comfortable walking in the evenings The owner is attentive and easy to reach if needed. Our favorite home away from home.

This is a really nice property and the host was very hospitable. It was a quiet area but still close enough to downtown that we walked to town each day for shopping and restaurants. We, being three ladies whose ages range from 58 to 78. :-). We thoroughly enjoyed our 'get away' visit to Brevard!

Ideal Location in Brevard

Very accommodating for our adult family. Easy walking distance to Brevard and all on one level. Very clean and spacious interior. Cooked on the outdoor gas grill and enjoyed the paved driveway for easy access. We walked to restaurants and of course the White Squirrel Festival. Very pleased with our 3-day stay.
