Awesome Home and amazing area

Our family of six had an incredible stay at this cabin! It was spacious, comfortable, and in pristine condition—everything felt fresh and well-maintained. The location was perfect, nestled in a super cool area with tons of outdoor activities just a short drive away. Whether we were exploring nearby trails, enjoying the scenery, or just relaxing at the cabin, it was the perfect getaway. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a cozy, adventure-filled escape!

Dream property for families

This property exceeded my expectations in every way! The grounds alone are amazing, and the cabin was so neat and clean and cozy. The kitchen was very well stocked, the beds were super comfortable, the whole cabin is just very homey. All of us enjoyed fishing in the stocked trout pond, and hanging out in the shop by the pond. The owner, David, is so friendly and helpful and communicative. He also provided a detailed guest guide to Brevard and the surrounding areas, which we found very useful. I can’t wait to book this property again! 10/10!

Beautiful property with a peaceful setting. Comfortable beds and hot water( 2 of my must). Enjoyed sitting on porch enjoying the coolness and quietness. Close enough to enjoy Bevard. Thanks for all the extras and sharing your home.

Location of cabin excellent just right off the main highway, which makes it very easy access to downtown Brevard. The fishing was great! Only negative, not handicap or physically impaired easy. A lot of steps.

Quiet, clean mountain house

Our family of four, and small dog, stayed at this property for two nights over spring break. It was incredibly clean and well-stocked. The property is nice and quiet, and surrounded by natural beauty. 12-15 minutes south of downtown Brevard, and easy to find. Would highly recommend.

Great relaxing time

This place is great. It is off the path enough for some peace and quiet, but close enough to drive into town. The pond was stocked with plenty of fish and the cabin was very nice. Will definitely book again soon.

Paradise in the mountains

I have stayed in the area several times during the summer and I like it cool at night. Typically rentals in the area have inadequate AC. Tim's place had excellent AQC and even a bottle of wine left out for us :) The dogs loved playing at the pond and running around the property. We brought a couple of motorcycles and had a great time exploring the area. I thoroughly enjoyed hanging out with friends and family over a nice bond fire which we had every night. Already trying to plan a return visit.

Summer stay

We had a great stay at this wonderful property. The house was very spacious for the four of us, very clean, and stocked with everything you will need. Communication with David was excellent. The coffee maker shorted out and he had it replaced immediately. Plenty of acreage to wonder around and the ponds were nice- just a few trout in the pond but it was fun going after them. I’m sure we will be back!

Wonderful Family Getaway

This was our third trip to the property and we had a wonderful time per usual. We loved being able to enjoy the time with our 2 sons this time though. Enjoyed playing about the property during the day and the tranquil nights in the cabin were just what we needed for a quick weekend getaway. Hoping to get back up there again soon.

Beautiful property and great, restful home!

We had a wonderful stay.... lots of walks with dogs, a few hikes, grilling steaks on pretty porch, snoozes on sofa after a full day! David really could not be nicer or more accomodating... cabin is comfortable and laid back! Grounds are pretty and well maintained. We plan to come again !
