This secluded slice of heaven greets you with sweeping, jaw dropping long-range mountain views! This modern rustic treetop oasis is perched directly above the best of two worlds: Downtown Brevard, with it’s quaint and vibrant main street bustle, and the edge of the Pisgah National Forest & popular Bracken Mountain Preserve. A winning combination that is hard to come by! Instagram: @BrevardNCcabin
THE SPACE: Upon arriving at the cabin and stepping onto it’s wrap around deck high above the ground, you’ll be greeted by a breathtaking long-range view of the rugged mountain scenery of the Pisgah National Forest and wide open Carolina blue sky!
The cabin is a paradise for those seeking a perfectly situated base camp to enjoy all that this area has to offer.
A typical day might start at dawn with a quick 30 minute drive to catch the sunrise from the Blue Ridge Parkway. Spend the rest of the day biking or enjoying the whitewater rivers, waterfalls & hiking trails of the Pisgah and Dupont Forests, and end with dining + live music at one of Brevard's popular breweries or restaurants. Or take a short 10 minute walk up the gravel road to pick up the 7.2 mile loop of the Bracken Mountain Preserve trails (on foot or mountain bike - our road abuts the Preserve!). Save some energy for an afternoon ping pong tournament in the spacious lower level screened-in porch, while you stream the Panther game in hi def onto the 75” movie screen.
Strong and stout, this approx 1100 sf A frame cabin boasts a solid cedar interior and exterior, and a stunning wall of oversized windows - your front row seat to Mother Nature's constantly rotating scenes of majesty. The wrap around deck faces due South - standing in a single spot, you can watch the sun rise to the east through the morning fog, then set to the west later that evening. The screened porch is cantilevered under the main level deck to take advantage of the way the cabin is perched on the slope, accessible by an outside stairs to the lower level, with same South-facing 180 degree view as the deck above -especially nice in the fall or when the trees are bare. It is a screened porch, meaning all big openings in the photos are screens, not glass windows, enabling you to still feel very connected to nature. Depending on one's comfort level and favorite seasons, we have plenty of cozy blankets and wraps for cooler months, and two ceiling fans in the screened porch for warmer months.
The cabin decor is "modern rustic" - comfortable, and well-appointed with central air/heat, two bedrooms, two full baths, washer & dryer, brand new GE appliances (fridge, stove & dishwasher). The kitchen is stocked with ample dishes & cookware, and Keurig coffee maker stocked with a supply of coffee and hot chocolate. Downstairs furnishings include a locally hand-crafted solid pine kitchen island & seven foot poplar farm table (perfect for holiday gatherings), comfortable leather furniture and a cozy propane free-standing corner fireplace. Upstairs in the loft, guests enjoy a spacious sectional sofa, a 50” TV with Streaming AT&T TV and Apple TV, board games, and a comfy recliner in the cozy reading nook.
The master bedroom features an elevated queen size bed, ceiling fan, updated spa-like master bath with large sunken shower, natural stone tile, vaulted ceiling & white washed ship lap. The second bedroom has a full size bed, ceiling fan and closet. The 2nd full bathroom has a tub/shower and pedestal sink. Two couches + a cot provide additional sleeping arrangements if needed.
The cabin is equipped with central air and heat. It also includes Wifi with Direct TV Stream & Apple TV (we have it all tricked out, but can't control the temperamental satellite signals here in the mountains). :-)
And while we love our furry friends, in consideration for our guests w/ allergies, we do NOT allow pets. Thanks for your understanding!
