White Squirrel Lodge - Family friendly, pond & stream, breezy porches & wildlife

Located in Hidden Valley off of Williamson Creek Rd in Pisgah Forest / Brevard, NC just 8 minutes from downtown Brevard, close to the Hospital and about the same distance to Pisgah National Forest and DuPont State Park. The Lodge is situated on a wooded corner lot with a pond on one side and a small stream on another. The lot backs up to a game trail and salt block where we regularly see deer, squirrels (white & grey), chipmunks, rabbits, fox and about every bird in the region.


New VRBO listing mid June, '20, privately managed for 8 years. Many of our guests look forward to returning annually and have visited here for years.

Although there’s lots to see and do in the area, some of our guests prefer to sit on the porch in the Sky Chair, sip their favorite beverage read a book and watch the wildlife. It’s truly a very unique experience. Please read our reviews!

THIS IS NOT YOUR TYPICAL RENTAL, there are very few like it! Very clean with lots of special touches. Our outside fire pit is a great place to hear the running stream below. Summer or Winter it’s a quiet restful spot in the Forest. Do Not miss booking this adorable cabin as it is often booked a year in advance. The house is sunny, bright, breezy and well appointed with upscale furnishings, antiques and local art. While we've not had any security issues we do have outside driveway security cameras that are motion activated. These were installed because of the national increase in Porch Pirates stealing deliveries. They are not viewed unless there’s an issue.

Come for a visit, stay awhile, we promise you won’t be disappointed!

Location was great! Very little gravel road to drive and a very quiet, yet convenient, part of Pisgah Forest. Large house for 4 adults. Love the wildlife you can see from the porch or from standing in the living room. I'd definitely stay here again!

This will be the only place we stay when we come back to town. We've agreed to build our vacation around availability for this place. Everything was PERFECT. We got to see a white squirrel, a bunch of Deer, and the neighborhood cat Freya who was the sweetest little cat ever. Everything was clean, and set up perfect and was absolutely gorgeous. Close enough to town that trips weren't a headache but far enough away that you didn't feel close to a town or city. Worth every penny. Thank you to the owners for helping us to make so many great memories with our 3 boys!

Wonderful property! This cabin feels like you're tucked away in the woods but you're just minutes from the town for shopping, dinner, etc. The home is well appointed and relaxing. Seeing the white squirrels was a highlight! Deer visited the salt lick a few times and we saw plenty of birds and a chipmunk! Thoroughly enjoyed our stay at White Squirrel Lodge.

The kitchen had everything we forgot to bring or overlooked. The house was wonderful and I would definitely book again in the future! The driveway and parking situation was a little more narrow than I would have liked, but I drive a truck so a smaller car would not have any problems.

The cabin needed a deep clean. Thick dust and cobwebs and dirty floors. Also there was an uncomfortable amount of dead/dying cave crickets on the bottom floor. They were even in the shower and in the washing machine.The bedroom situation could be challenging for some guests. Both double beds are only accessible via narrow curly stairs. The main level has a bedroom, but it only has a single bed.With the unanimous 10/10 positive reviews I was really expecting a better experience.

This cabin was awesome! So cute, creatively decorated, stocked with all the basic comforts of home (more than any other place we've stayed). Wildlife from every window (deer, all kinds of birds, white & brown squirrels), huge front porch, private - in a neighborhood but other than hearing the cars on the gravel road, you'd never know you had neighbors. Just short of 1 hour to Asheville, but 'town' is only 10ish min away. ****there is wi-fi in the house, but no cell otherwise (until back in town). Take a pic of your entry code before you get there!!!!!Absolutely wonderful place to stay!

House was in a great location to all of the things we wanted to do on our trip - horseback riding, hiking, tubing and fishing. Also close to downtown. The home was clean, cozy and has a well stocked kitchen. The porch was a great place to hang out. We saw lots of deer and white squirrels. Would definitely recommend! :)

1st time in NC!

This place blew us away! Honestly it was better than the photos! As soon as we got there we were greeted with multiple white squirrels outside! We also saw chipmunks, grey squirrels and deer (with 2 babies)!!! It was so nice and quite and close to so many amazing trails and right near downtown Brevard. This was really even better than expected!!! Thank you so much for such an UNBELIEVABLE first experience in NC. We already look forward to our next visit!

Loved the wildlife!

We enjoyed our stay at White Squirrel Lodge. House was clean and stocked with everything you need. Spent most of our time out on the deck watching the birds, white & gray squirrels and the deer. Spent some time in Brevard checking out the shops and walking around it's a cute little town. Would definitely would come back to stay again.

Perfect home away from home

Our family of six was in town so that some of our kids could see mountains for the first time. The house was welcoming and fully stocked and we loved watching the squirrels and deer from the porch. We spent our days hiking and swimming in the forest and, the area had all we needed to make our stay absolutely delightful. Would love to stay Again, and thankfully, the weather was perfect! I think the best part was the kitchen – if you love to cook this is the best kitchen away from home I've experienced so far!

The White Squirrel Lodge is a great mountain stay near Brevard

We were very happy with our stay at the White Squirrel Lodge. From the comfy sofas, the well-stocked kitchen, and the big porch to watching the deer and squirrels, all of our needs were met and exceeded. We were close to our favorite hikes and Brevard was just a short drive away. We definitely plan to return in the future!

Amazing property

If you enjoy watching wildlife, love peaceful porch sitting and a comfy, relaxing, clean, and welcoming home, this property is for you. Everything about this cabin is amazing. The furniture in the living room is so comfortable and the entire home is well stocked with everything that you will need. The porch is so nice to sit on. We saw raccoon, plenty of white squirrels, so many deer and a black bear. All front the comfort of the porch. We will definitely be back.
