The owner was helpful and communicative ahead of and during our stay. The hot tub was clean and ready to go when we arrived, and the kids loved playing all the games available at the house. We walked to breakfast and dinner in Brevard, and the walk was short enough that our kids (ages 5-9) didn't complain! The beds were comfortable. We had a great time and would definitely consider staying again.
Perfect place if you are looking to enjoy Brevard. A few blocks from downtown so walking is an option. House clean and kitchen was so well stocked with everything you could possibly need. In the game room there were games galore for all ages. Beds very comfortable with quality sheets. Host left a few welcome tokens and warmed up the hot tub prior to our arrival. Plenty of parking. Definitely a place to return to next time.
The place was very organized and our host was very accommodating. Great selection of games to play for down time. It is an easy walk to downtown Brevard from here as well. Would recommend to anyone!

Very nice place. Close to town and hiking and waterfalls. Enough games to keep any busy.
Great place with lots of fun games. Loved the hot tub and backyard. Fantastic location and owner was great communicator. He also is very nice and has a wonderful toy store !
John was so wonderful he sent us a nice message with instructions and the house was fantastic !!! It was so close to downtown we walked and the backyard is fenced in and that was great for our dog .You will not want for any game to play in this house our favorite was the foose ball table loved our stay
Wonderful location with easy walking distance to Main Street stores, about 20-30 minutes to several waterfalls. House and beds very comfortable, kitchen very well equipped, hot tub relaxing and clean, and game room amazing. Much thanks to the owners for such a nice stay!,
This is our second time staying here! The house is great and walking distance to downtown and music and breweries on King St. We will be making many more trips and will stay here each time!
We are from the area and we’re coming home to visit family and friends for Christmas and needed a place that our dog could stretch his legs and run around. The house was perfect and I am glad we found it for future trips! The foosball table was a hit too!!! Also, I HAVE NEVER STAYED IN A HOUSE THIS FULLY STOCKED! I feel like we moved into someone’s private home that wasn’t a rental property. Stay here if you’re searching.
Great property with downtown convenience! Excellent communication from owner. Large back yard for kids and pets in a beautiful section of town. Our family will be back.
We had a wonderful time at this lovely home! Very clean, an abundance of amenities provided (very well stocked kitchen, toiletries, plenty of towels for bath and hot tub.) Beds are super comfy. Lovely guest bath. Huge master bedroom with access to back deck area, hot tub, etc. Our dogs loved the big backyard to run around and watch the squirrels. Game room and living room were perfect for our family to gather and spend time together.
We had a lovely weekend in Brevard staying in this house! The location is perfect and easily walkable to Main Street. The house is very clean and comfortable. Highly recommend!
So convenient for our activities at Brevard College. Easy walk to anything downtown and one of the best parts is sitting outside listening to music from King Street.
The house and beds are welcoming and comfortable, the kitchen is well equipped, the deck and yard are fantastic. But as good as all this is, the location beats them all. Easy walk to great restaurants, coffee, bakeries, breweries, shopping.
