About this property
Black Balsam Cabin
Just 5 minutes from downtown Brevard, this Scandinavian-inspired cabin blends modern comfort with cozy mountain charm. Designed as a peaceful basecamp for exploring Pisgah National Forest, DuPont State Forest, and Brevard’s vibrant food and brewery scene, this retreat offers convenience, style, and amenities that surprise most guests.
🌿 Scandinavian Comfort + Modern Touches
Step into a warm, minimalist living space centered around a plush sofa bed, comfortable seating, soft lighting, and clean architectural lines. Whether you’re unwinding after a day of adventure or working remotely, you’ll enjoy:
Fast, reliable high-speed WiFi
A/C and heat for year-round comfort
Smart TV + HDMI connections
A full Nespresso bar with a variety of coffees
The atmosphere is calm, clean, and intentionally designed—just as a Scandinavian cabin should be.
🛁 Spa-Like Bathroom Retreat
The bathroom is one of the guests’ favorite features. Enjoy a luxurious spa experience with:
Heated tile floors
Rainfall showerhead

It’s the perfect way to relax sore muscles after hiking, biking, or exploring waterfalls.
☕ Large Porch for Morning Coffee or Evening Relaxation
The oversized porch is ideal for:
Quiet mornings with Nespresso
Dining outdoors
Watching squirrels and deer play in the woods
Winding down at the end of the day
The porch is often where guests spend the most time—especially with mountain air drifting and the forest surrounding the cabin.
🛏 Sleeps Up to 4
Bedroom with a premium queen mattress
Living room sofa bed (plush, comfortable, and guest-ready)
📍 Perfectly Located (But Important Note About Road Noise)
The cabin sits close to a small country road that provides easy, fast access to downtown Brevard and the national forests. You may hear the occasional passing vehicle—especially motorcycles on pleasant weekend days. Most guests say it quickly fades into the background, but we like to be transparent.
For added comfort, we provide:
Blackout curtains
A white-noise machine
Guests mention feeling well-rested and comfortable despite the occasional road activity.
🌄 Ideal for:
Couples’ getaways
Solo travelers
Remote workers
Mountain bikers visiting Pisgah or DuPont
