Ideal Location in Brevard

Very accommodating for our adult family. Easy walking distance to Brevard and all on one level. Very clean and spacious interior. Cooked on the outdoor gas grill and enjoyed the paved driveway for easy access. We walked to restaurants and of course the White Squirrel Festival. Very pleased with our 3-day stay.

Stunning home away from home

The house is beautifully appointed, spacious and yet cozy. We were pleasantly surprised by all the kitchen equipment available and absolutely loved the screened porch. I found Jan to be communicative, gracious and generous. We will definitely keep this house in mind for future stays and have already recommended it to other family members! Thank you, Jan.

Convienient, walkable near Farmer's Market

Just a block from the fun Saturday Farmer's market and a couple of blocks from the charming downtown, this home was a perfect location. Spotless and spacious, this updated home is comfortable and includes items that would make a long stay interesting, like games, puzzles and books. We only used the well furnished kitchen for coffee and tea, but everything you need to cook is present. The owner made checkin easy with a lockbox and clear instructions. We stay here again if we need to rent!

Downtown Brevard

My family just had a wonderful stay in this house. The house had everything we needed and the location is excellent. We had some rainy days which made me really appreciate having a comfortable, cozy house that was close to everything when the rain stopped. I would definitely stay here again.

Great House Close to Downtown

We just stayed in Brevard for a long Father’s Day weekend. The house was exactly what we wanted. Everything was clean and well taken care of. The back yard was full of fireflies in the evening and they put on a show. Even saw a white squirrel. Very walkable to downtown with all the shops and restaurants. Jan was super with the ease of check in and out. Will definitely stay here again.

What an amazing place to stay

I would like to keep this place a secret! My wife and I stayed here and its so close to downtown we could walk everywhere and its centrally located in some of the best hikes and waterfalls in the area. The owners were very attentive and responsive. It was immaculately clean. The only thing I could add is "shhhhhh - don't tell anyone, I want it to be my spot!"

The house was immaculate, the owner has taken a lot of steps to make guests comfortable. From amenities provided to the comfortable furnishings. She also gave us tips to attract the well known “Brevard White Squirrels “ to the back yard. Also beautiful birds were abundant. We’ll be back.

So close to town

Jan was so nice and communicated with us well! She filled up the bird feeder prior to our stay and we were able to see 2 white squirrels!! It was little touches like this that made our trip perfect! There was plenty of room for our family of 3. We were able to walk into town which was awesome to not have to fight looking for parking! Would definitely stay here again! Also, Jan was accommodating to our schedule and allowed us to check in about 3 hours early! It was such a treat!

Wonderful home-Perfect location!

The house was exactly as advertised and was perfect for a 8 day stay in beautiful Brevard. The house was extremely clean and well stocked. We enjoyed the screened patio each morning and evening watching the squirrels, birds and rabbits. The location was ideal to walking to dinner (one block off Main). The neighborhood was clean and quiet. We have stayed in several VRBOs in Brevard over the years and this is our favorite. Jan was a wonderful host and very attentive. It was like talking with an old friend. We’re looking forward to coming back!

Great Location for Visiting Downtown!

I stayed at Jan's house since it was walkable to downtown Brevard. That was important to me as I was a vendor at the White Squirrel Festival. The house was also across from a wooded area where I spotted my first and only white squirrel! The house is very spacious which we enjoyed. No problems with anything at all. We recommend staying here!
