Convenient and comfortable
John's place is a true gem! The house has absolutely everything we needed to have a relaxing, fun-filled weekend of mountain biking. All the staples we needed for cooking, laundry, and bathroom essentials were provided, letting us focus on having a blast. The house is a short drive from several different biking areas, and being able to bring our dogs was a huge plus. Being able to soak our sore muscles in the hot tub at the end of the day was a dream come true. We will be back for sure!

Perfect location and great yard
This house is perfectly located, a few blocks from downtown Brevard and the many great restaurants and stores there, and also close to the lumberyard district, which is home to Morning Social, ( a great brunch.place), a good pizza place, a wonderful microbrewery and music club, and a fantastic ice cream trailer. The backyard of the house is beautiful and well fenced, perfect for a dog to run around and chase the ball. The owner was very responsive when we had occasional questions, and has fully equipped the house for cooking and fun activities.

House had everything our family of four (dog) needed for a wonderful getaway in Brevard. Kitchen is very well stocked with anything you could need for preparing meals. Hot tub and game selection were great to have available. Bike Barn for securing mountain bikes was a huge plus for our trip. Host has anticipated and provided for all guest needs. We will return.

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 didnโt 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.

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!
