Charming home, perfect for families, Bikers, Brevard College, College, camps

Nestled in the tall oaks, box woods, and hydrangeas in a traditional family-friendly neighborhood, the four bedrooms plus a nursery, three baths, two living areas and three porches will make your stay fun and convenient. Invite the entire family or a group of friends to experience all that Brevard, Transylvania County, and Western NC has to offer. Two flat screen TVs, cable, WIFI, central heat and air, fully equipped kitchen, upstairs refreshment center, washer/ dryer and plenty of off-street parking makes our home an ideal spot for your family get-together. The large front porch has rockers and porch swing for morning coffee... or ... grab some afternoon sun and watch white squirrels play from the back deck or upstairs porch. Spend your evening around the fire pit for extra family fun. For bikers, there is a separate building for safe bike storage as well as a washing station.

Our home is located less than 5 minutes from Brevard Music Center and Brevard College with the Porter Center that hosts many world renowned artists as well as local talent. There are many other local venues hosting local and regional musicians. We are less than one mile to downtown Brevard’s favorite restaurants and shops.

We are close to Pisgah National Forest, Sliding Rock, Dupont State Park, Gorges State Park, the Blue Ridge Parkway, PARI (Pisgah Astronomical Research Institute), the Cradle of Forestry in America, Flat Rock Playhouse, the Carl Sandburg home, Biltmore House, Tryon Equestrian Center. and many other area attractions. More than a dozen summer camps are located within a short drive.

We are less than an hour from Asheville, 2 hours from Charlotte, 2.5 hours from Columbia, SC, 3 hrs. from Atlanta, and 4 hours from Charleston. It’s a perfect weekend escape from the hustle and bustle of the city. Come relax and rejuvenate in the clean air of the mountains and enjoy all that this home has to offer.

Perfect house for a mountain biking getaway. Good location. Plenty of space to spread out; beds were comfortable. Used the kitchen daily. Coffee, water and snacks were provided, which was a nice surprise. Includes a bike storage room.

Fabulous House

Our family was here in June for a wedding. The house is charming and has so much space. The hydrangeas surrounding the house make for a lovely entrance. The house has everything you need - rocking chairs on the porch, a grill, lovely rooms and 3 bathrooms. It’s perfect for adults, families with children and actually it’s great for anyone. The host is very responsive and accommodating. We had a fabulous time there.

Great Location - Biltmore to Waterfalls & Wineries

This house was delightful. It was just as advertised - 3 bathrooms, 4 bedrooms, plenty of indoor & outdoor gathering spaces. Plenty of comfortable beds and furniture. We were able to see the splendor of the Biltmore Estate and the natural beauty of surrounding waterfalls in Gorges State Park, Pisgah National Forest, and Du Pont Forest. We would stay here again in a heartbeat.

Great location to explore Brevard

A fantastic location to explore the cool town of Brevard and the local mountain highlights. Quiet and charming. It has several rooms and living spaces throughout. Great for a larger group. Bathrooms are small but functional. The hosts were fantastic and provided ample kitchen supplies including coffee and condiments (always a huge help!).

Bridal Luncheon

My husband and I held a Bridal Luncheon for our future Daughter-in-Law at this property. Although we live in the Charlotte area, she is from the Asheville area as are her family and most of her friends that she invited. We held the luncheon outside on tables and under canopy tents we brought. The grounds were manicured and very lovely. The home was sparkling clean and very well maintained. The owners were gracious and hospitable - perfect hosts. We highly recommend this property.

Great home base for weekend getaway!

Stayed two nights with 4 adults on a weekend trip to the mountains. House is huge with lots of outdoor seating options. Hosts were super helpful and responsive to all inquiries. Main bathroom downstairs is large with a low lip shower and grab bar. Upstairs is a great set up for kids. Morning coffee time was on the huge front porch with rockers and a swing, watching the white squirrels frolic. This is a house in a residential neighborhood, not a cabin in the mountains. It was a perfect in town base for our weekend adventures. Would absolutely stay here again!

Lovely updated historic home

We had family stay at Carolina Ave in order to host a drop-in gathering for my parents 60th anniversary. It worked out wonderfully. The gardens are lovely, the kitchen opens onto the deck, there are plenty of sofas inside and the home is well stocked with supplies. The host allowed us to park extra cars in a lot across the road. My only issue was with the mattresses dipping in the middle. Otherwise very clean and comfortable.

Fantastic Home, Fantastic Hosts

First, Mr. and Mrs. Merrill were amazing hosts. Without boring the readers with details, they went above and beyond with communication ahead of time and made sure we knew how to get in touch if we had any issues at all. With that sort of attention and initiative up front, we didn’t expect we would. And we didn’t. Their vacation home was lovely, peaceful, and just right for our family of five plus two adult friends. Thanks so much for the awesome stay and wonderful memories. BTW, we definitely forgot to sign your guestbook but we hope to send some pictures along with a longer thank you in the coming weeks. Cheers!

An absolutely lovely home with an abundance of charm

This was the perfect home for our needs. Our family was visiting the area for a memorial service. The house was perfect for all 7 of us. The master bedroom with the bathroom was perfect for my elderly parents as it was very accessible for their needs. My adult children appreciated the privacy of the upstairs bedrooms with the kitchenette and TV room. Our host, Charles, was a delightful man. He and his wife live next to the property and it was so nice to visit with him out in the yard a few times. Charles also has a sweet dog named Rocky who came over to visit us a few times which I absolutely loved. Charles told us the house is 120 years old and that he grew up in the house. Oh, and the big, beautiful trees on the property were incredibly magical. I loved waking up to the sound of a bird symphony each morning. The landscaping was so lovely and added to the comfort of our stay. I highly recommend this property. I think it is the best VRBO I have ever stayed in.
