Lovely 3 bedroom house | Walk to Downtown • Fire Pit • Minutes to Waterfalls

Just a short walk from downtown Brevard, this charming retreat offers the perfect balance of comfort and convenience. Families are always welcome—we love to travel with our kids, too! You’ll also find thoughtful eco-friendly touches throughout, from our cleaning supplies to our sustainable amenities.

Whether you’re here to hike scenic trails, bike through Pisgah National Forest, cast a line in nearby streams, or simply relax in nature’s calm, our cottage is the perfect home base for your mountain getaway.

Master Bedroom: queen bed | Bedroom 2: full bed | Bedroom 3: 2-twin beds.

When you walk in, you'll see a bright and spacious area. With a high ceiling and an open floor plan, the living room, eating area, and kitchen are all connected. This makes it easy to stay in touch with your traveling partners. The kitchen is fully equipped with marble countertops, stainless steel tools, a Keurig coffee maker, and a microwave oven.

This home is professionally managed and meticulously cleaned to provide stellar service for all of our guests. Think of it as a hotel-like experience in a spacious furnished home. If you need anything additional during your stay, we are here to help!

Colwell Cottage is located at the edge of a small town, so you can enjoy the woods at the back of our property. Read a book, watch wildlife across the creek, sip a glass of wine, grill your supper, or roast marshmallows while warming up next to a wood burning fire pit in the backyard.

Colwell Cottage is only a five-minute walk to Brevard’s restaurants, art galleries, breweries, coffee shops, bakeries and a movie theater. It is a few blocks farther to the Brevard Lumberyard Arts District, where you can listen to live music at 185 King Street, enjoy a beer at Squatch or dine at Magpie Meat & Three.

Brevard Music Center is less than 2 miles away. You can hike, bike or drive there from the cottage and enjoy our talented students and other well-known musicians June-August.

Franklin Park and the public swimming pool are also a walkable distance from downtown.

It is 7 mimnute drive to the entrance to Pisgah National Forest, where you can experience world class trout fishing, mountain biking, hiking trails and beautiful waterfalls. You can even take a dip in one of its many swimming holes.

Pisgah Forest contains the National Park Service’s Cradle of Forestry. Its visitor center offers interactive exhibits, films, and special events, as well as two paved interpretive trails. Several miles farther you can enjoy beautiful vistas along the Blue Ridge Parkway and dine at Pisgah Inn, with its scenic overlook of the mountains.

An enjoyable 25-minute drive will take you to Dupont State Forest for hiking or mountain biking on some of its 80 miles trails. Among the Forest’s many waterfalls, don’t miss Triple Falls, a 150-foot high waterfall featuring three cascades, or High Falls, a 120-foot high waterfall crowned with a covered bridge.

Thirty minutes away is Sierra Nevada Taproom, with farm-to-table dishes and a wonderful back porch offering live music. The brewery has been family-owned since the 1960’s and now has a national reputation. You can book a free tour of this impressive facility online.

In another direction, it is a 45-minute drive to the Flat Rock Playhouse, where you can enjoy Broadway-level plays at North Carolina’s state theater.

It is about an hour’s drive to Asheville with its River Arts District, the historic Grove Park Inn, and the renowned Biltmore Estate.

Guest have full access to the residence except for one closet and the basement.

If you have questions prior to or during your trip, we will be happy to assist you and help with any issue that may arise.

Colwell Drive is a dead end drive. It includes six residential homes around cottage where is safe for children to play outside with worry-free traffic.
Parking area is well defined for guests.

Wonderful and responsive host. The cabin was very clean and comfortable. The yard and fire pit area were not as private as we would have preferred but everything met our needs and it was easy to access all the hiking we wanted to do in the area.

Great stay in Brevard

If you’re considering Colwell Cottage for a trip to Brevard, and need close proximity to downtown and the music park, look no further. We found the property to be quiet, spotless, and thoughtfully appointed. The beds were clean and comfortable, and we slept like babies after spending the days out at the Mountain Song festival. Our host was also gracious and responsive, and generously allowed us a late checkout as we were trying to coordinate family staying at multiple locations. It was a very kind gesture that made our day, and helped us enjoy our limited time together. Thank you, I hope we’ll be back!

The fire pit was very basic and unkempt. I had to wipe off mold, mildew and bird poop off the chairs before they could be used. It faced the cement foundation of the cottage. The creek was more like an overgrown ditch. There were no scenic views, deck, porches etc. However, the house was clean and close to town, we did not think it close enough to walk though. The host responded quickly to our disappointment and did send firewood, starter sticks and cleaned up the fire pit.

Wedding Planning Stay

This is a cute little property just a short drive to the downtown Brevard area. We found the most amazing BBQ dive up across the street called Blue Smoke BBQ or now Smoke on BBQ. We would highly recommend this property. It had only one very small bathroom for having 3 bedrooms but it that does not bother you the place is great.
