Sunset Cottage Blocks from Downtown

Sunrise Cottage is a welcoming mountain escape while remaining blocks from the heart of downtown Brevard. Tucked off the main street and behind the owner’s residence, this stand-alone home offers everything you would need with its two bedrooms, full bath, kitchen, living room, Washer/Dryer, and screened-in porch. Enjoy the property's lush gardens with flowers from April through October. There is a fountain patio with rocking chairs, Adirondack chairs, and sun umbrellas perfect for relaxing in the morning with your coffee or unwinding at the end of the day with your favorite beverage. There is also a fire pit with outdoor furniture for making s’mores.

For all ages, we have equipment to give you a great workout. There is a Ninja rig built by an American Ninja Warrior, a climbing wall, and, behind the fence, a fort with swings, a climbing dome, and a trampoline with a safety net and covered springs.

The screened porch’s seating allows you to kick your feet up and breathe in the fresh mountain air, or enjoy a meal or morning coffee at the cafe table, with the backdrop of flower gardens, songbirds, white squirrels, and rabbits.

The cottage has one bedroom with a queen-sized bed, while the other has a trundle with 2 twin beds. The dresser in the trundle room has a pull-out shelf perfect for working on your laptop. Both rooms have Echo Dots for music and alarm clocks. The kitchen provides filtered drinking water, a dishwasher, a full-sized refrigerator, and other amenities. A drip coffee maker, filters, and medium roast coffee are supplied. Some spices, olive oil, Pam, ketchup, mustard, and mayonnaise are supplied. The home has high-speed wireless internet, Hulu TV for local channels and regular programming, Netflix, and Disney.

The shed is also where you can secure your bikes on the provided bike rack, and a hose along the driveway lets you easily clean mud off your bikes after tackling the numerous mountain biking trails. A bike pump is located on the back porch of the main house.

This entire residence will be yours to enjoy, and the shared gardens are available for your use as well. The owner lives in the main house on the property and is available to help you whenever needed. Sunrise Cottage is the perfect spot to start and end your day’s adventures while in Brevard.

It is a small property, but a large back yard away from the owners home. Everything was excellently equipped, 3 blocks from downtown. My favorite was relaxing on the screen porch after spending the day out in the forests. Loved the white squirrels romping in the back yard.
