Stayed 7 nights in Jun 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Reid G. Oct 8, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy Absolutely spectacular property in Brevard area. Location is super convenient to Dupont, Pisgah, and downtown. Property was clean, well maintained, and exactly as described. 7 adults stayed here with plenty of space and privacy. Great views of the mountains from the screened porch. The kitchen is probably the best feature - two dishwashers, two ovens, ice maker, wine cooler, etc. The best equipped kitchen of any rental house I’ve ever seen. So easy to cook a gourmet meal. Will definitely be coming back here again! ##### Reid G. Stayed 3 nights in Oct 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Lesley B. Aug 13, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Couples Retreat 2025 What a house! Situated on top of a mountain all by yourself, but within 10 minutes of downtown Brevard. Mattresses were all comfortable, everything was well appointed, house was tastefully decorated, but not overdone. We loved gathering in the kitchen and we were continuously overjoyed to find more and more amenities that were so helpful for our three nights stay. Management company was quick to respond and always accessible. We have already booked next year in the same place! ##### Lesley B. Stayed 3 nights in Aug 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### CARL L. May 20, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Cool place, great location! My family and I really enjoyed this place. There was plenty of room and ample parking. All of the amenities were as presented. Location was really great, not far from good food places and 276. ##### CARL L.
