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!

A location in downtown Brevard....a very short walk to everything, but yet on a quiet side street. The Saturday morning Farmers Market is a 2 min. walk. Large home & yard for the area, & we saw White Squirrels often in the serene back yard. Very well equipped home for a long term stay. Hosts are very accommodating & friendly.

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.

What a gem only a short walk to downtown and a short drive to great hiking. Communication was excellent throughout and if anything the pictures do not do the house justice. Only wish that we had been able to stay longer! Will definitely visit again.

My family just had a wonderful stay in this house. The house had everything we needed and the location is excellent. We had some rainy days which made me really appreciate having a comfortable, cozy house that was close to everything when the rain stopped. I would definitely stay here again.
