The property and surrounding area is absolutely stunning. Our trip consisted of enjoying the gorgeous mountain weather on a different hike or two with the dogs each day. This was more than enough space for us (no complaints!). The design of the outdoor space and the interior layout is well thought-out. You have ample elbow room that makes for modern usage, but the details in both the interior and exterior design give the property a cozy, private, personal feel. It was clean and welcoming. We found the furniture to be very comfortable. We did not lack for anything. Every kitchen appliance you could ever need was provided. Check-in was extremely easy. Communication with the owner was always clear, friendly and helpful. As we had the pups with us, it was nice to be able to access a vacuum or cleaning supplies for dirt tracked in. Most rentals keep that stuff under lock and key. Carmen and Juan made us feel completely taken care of and are very generous with sharing the amenities of their beautiful property. Thank you so very much for a marvelous stay!

Acorn’s Retreat in a word is delightful!This home was really above and beyond our expectations. Although it looks nice in the pictures, they can’t possibly convey how beautiful this home really is. The house itself is wonderful, especially the kitchen, which is very large and completely equipped with everything you could possibly need. The main shower is even bigger and nicer than it looks. It was perfect for our adult son with special needs who needs our assistance with showering. Also, the cleanliness was the best we’ve encountered in a vacation rental. It really shows how much Juan and Carmen care about their guests. The view which is stunning surpasses what we expected from the photos. The wildlife also went way beyond what we were anticipating.I don’t know if we were just lucky but we were literally greeted by deer upon arrival and had several deer in the yard every single day for a week. While I only caught a glimpse of a white squirrel once on the property, we saw them in the neighborhood as we came and went.The area is amazing also, we loved downtown Brevard and also Hendersonville. The hikes and waterfalls (including one right in the neighborhood, that the hosts thoughtfully provided directions to) were so beautiful. We only get a week of vacation each year, so we generally try a new place each time, but I’ll be surprised if we don’t come back to Acorn’s Retreat next year.

We’re repeat guests at this property and would not want to stay anywhere else now that we’ve found this place! It is so clean and the amenities are perfect. It’s very easy to feel at home here so you can just relax and enjoy the outdoors. We love the peace and privacy of this property while still being close to town/entertainment, breweries, grocery stores, bike trails, etc.

We had a fantastic, peaceful stay at Acorn's Retreat. The home is beautifully designed and maintained and the views are amazing. The kitchen is gorgeous and well-outfitted for all types of cooking. We loved all the art, and the beds are pretty and comfortable. The primary shower is luxurious and spacious! After long hikes each day, we rested our muscles in the pristine hot tub - just perfect. Juan and Carmen were responsive, kind and flexible. We hope to come back again!

Exceptional Property & Hosts

We were so pleased with our stay at Acorn's Retreat. The property is beautiful; the furnishings are fashionable, comfortable, and clean; and the kitchen is stocked with all the equipment needed to cook and to entertain. A new feature that may not yet be listed on the profile is a fire pit area outfitted with paver steps and platform and racks of cut wood. In every detail of the property, it is quite clear that the hosts have considered and attended to the comfort, enjoyment, and possible needs of their guests. Our only regret was that we could not stay longer on this trip. We will definitely return to Acorn's Retreat when we travel to the Brevard area again.
