It was great

We really enjoyed playing bumper pool! Enjoyed Thanksgiving with our son who lives in Brevard and went to High Falls. The only thing we needed and didn’t think to bring was a hdmi cable so we could watch our home team play football and basketball on the tv rather than our laptop.

Quaint home that met all of our needs!

John and Susie were was amazing hosts! From the easy checkin process, to wine/beer/chocolate to greet us, to TONS of games/cards, and an awesome hot tub! Fenced in back yard was a bonus since I brought our little dog. Upon leaving we were asked to do minimal tasks which aided in us still sleeping late and gone by 11am! While we didn't use the bikes, that was an added bonus!

Looking forward to our next stay!

The house is centrally located within easy walking distance to downtown and the Lumber Arts District, home to a brewery and restaurants. Pisgah National Forest and Du Pont State Park is only a short drive away. The house has been nicely renovated, and was clean and well stocked. We found the beds very comfortable. The internet was a little slow but was useable. The only small thing I would recommend to the host, is to change the curtains in the bedrooms to blackout ones. We would definitely stay there again.

Relaxing Getaway

Enjoyed our stay at this rental! The house was overall well-appointed with a stocked kitchen, bathrooms and game room! Beds were very comfortable as well! Communication with the owner was seamless! Enjoyed the fireplace as it was a little chilly for our visit! Always appreciate a rental that welcomes our older well-behaved dog! Would highly recommend!

White Squirrel Trip

Our stay was wonderful! John and his wife are great hosts and stay in communication very well. The house is exactly how it was listed. Beds were great, cleanliness was exceptional. The game room was perfect as my son loved the three in one game table. It was a big hit. Best part of all I even enjoyed seeing a white squirrel in the yard. Definitely a nice vacation and a nice place to stay. I would definitely recommend this house if you want to relax and enjoy family fun! Thank you John!

Birthday getaway

We 100% enjoyed our stay and am so glad I decided on this house for our weekend in Brevard. We easily walked into town everyday for shopping and dinner. Then, walked to a bar and home from there! The location can’t be beat. Hot tub was clean and a relaxing way to end the day. So many towels and the home was very well supplied with anything you could need! Lovely!

Best place to stay in Brevard

This cozy home is perfect! I came with a couple of friends for a few days in April, came with a different friend for a few days in July and have just booked it again in October to bring my family. It's so close to everything in Brevard! Other than one trip into Pisgah Forest to hike, we didn't move the car the 3 days we were there. There are many excellent local restaurants as well as fun shops. The paved bike path is a couple of blocks from the house so we took advantage of that as well. Thank you, John, for the hospitality!

Fully equipped & very close to downtown.

A really great place. Clean, comfortable and very well-stocked kitchen with cookware and all basic staples. Large deck with hot tub, secure bike storage and only a few blocks from the bike path. Close to town and Bracken Preserve (but still quiet and private). Plenty of off-street parking. We did not take our dog this time, but seems good for 1 or 2 well-behaved pups-good area for walking.

Lovely getaway to the Big Game House

Thete are not enough stars available for communication with owner, he was excellent! We love playing board games with our kids, so this house was perfect! Had a nice hot tub, deck was a great place for breakfast and that sought after morning quiet time with my coffee. We loved spying out the white squirrel who lived in the back yard, he was precious! Not to mention the surprising visit from a ground hog!! The neighbors were very friendly, and it was in perfect walking distance to go get ice cream in the evening and perfect driving distance to go hiking in Pisgah and see waterfalls. The kitchen was well stocked so we were able to have breakfast and dinner nearly every day at the house to be budget concious. The location is great for both adventurers or home bodies who like to walk to historic downtowns. Highly recommend this house!

About the host

Your host

Host profile image
I am John Taylor and own one of the top ten toy stores in the world! Right in the middle of Brevard N.C. is O.P.Taylor's toy store!"The coolest toy store on the planet!"
My wife Susie and I have been buying, renting and selling real estate for years, after renting a VRBO in Maine last year we thought that this house would make a perfect short term rental. O.P.Taylor's "Big Game" house became available after a year long remodel we think you will love it?

Why they chose this property

A recient comment upon arrival from one of our guests.
1/22/2020, 5:08 PM
My my my! Wow...just wow. We've rented dozens of vrbo's over the years and I have to say your rental "first impression" knocks it out of the park! The welcoming lights on, the little notes here and there, the wine and beer...such nice, top-notch touches. Thank you so much for all you've done to make us feel so very comfortable and welcome 😊

The house is within walking distance of downtown Brevard and the world famous Brevard Music Center. It is also a short bike ride to the Bracken Mountain Trail, a challenging ride for any level of mountain biker.
Although the house is located close to the action, it is nestled in a very quiet residential neighborhood.
Brevard has so much to offer any visitor, from 200 waterfalls, thousands of miles of hiking and biking trails, the Brevard Music Center, square dancing in the street, lots of excellent restaurants and breweries, you will be so busy you will wonder why we bothered to put TV's in the house!

What makes this property unique

The plan on this house is to give it to our daughter when she gets married. That doesn't look like it is going to happen anytime soon, so we are listing on VRBO.The care and love that went into restoring and modernizing this house will be obvious to anyone that sees it, we want our daughter to have a home that will last a lifetime!
