Peaceful seclusion

Wonderful sunrise views from this mountaintop setting. Very quiet and peaceful; just far enough from town to feel like you're in the country, but close enough to run in town for a meal. Comfortable bedding with memory foam matresses. Great stay!

Wonderful cabin

We loved this cabin in the woods! Yes, steep drive but totally doable! And it’s worth it to have the beautiful views sunrise and sunset. It was easy to get to brevard and hiking. Overall a very enjoyable stay! Will book again!

Secluded Mountain Getaway

We enjoyed the view and privacy this cabin afforded. Our grandson woke up each morning excited to see the mountains shrouded in mist. We loved the proximity to Brevard, Pisgah National Forest, and DuPont Stste Park. The cabin has been updated nicely and is well stocked with many amenities.

Hiking get away

The property is great. Everything you need is there, and the view is priceless. Beautiful sunrises every day were awesome. I would recommend getting there in the daylight the first time, as the driveway is exciting. 100 percent would recommend.

Nice mountain getaway

Had a wonderful time - well equipped, comfortable home. Great outdoor spaces for relaxing and enjoying the views. Close to Brevard and to lots of activities, but feels like you're a million miles away. Loved being able to bring our pup. Would stay again despite two negatives - ants in the kitchen and a confusing HVAC situation.

Mountain top

Bear's Rest was exactly that! We hiked all day in Dupont and retreated to the top of a mountain for a great night's rest. The views were spectacular. Caution- they are not kidding about the drive...it's steep...well worth it!

Peace and Quiet with an amazing view

Just what we needed. The house is nice and the property is amazing, so peaceful and quiet. We woke up every morning and had coffee on the front porch and watched the sun come up over the ridgelines. Would definitely recommend to anyone that asks and return in the future.

Cozy and Quiet

We had a relaxing stay. The house is just as it appears in the pictures and it is really quiet at the end of the road. I was nervous about the driveway after reading some other posts. It really wasn’t bad - just one turn was a little extra! We will stay here again when we come up to the area!

A beautiful mountain retreat

A beautiful visit! The view is worth a stay, very peaceful and private. Close to many great amenities in Brevard and tons of hiking and outdoor activities. Pay attention to the access, the drive is long, narrow (one way) and extremely steep gravel. Also the address takes you to the incorrect location, the turnoff is the next one down off walnut hollow called Henry mountain Rd. If you take the first whipperwill you end up in someone's yard, yikes.

Holiday getaway in the Clouds

Clean and fairly well stocked. The cookware was only fair. Approach road is difficult to navigate in pea soup fog (which is what we had for the first two nights). House was very spacious and was furnished nicely. It would have been better if the steps into the house had been blown off. They were completely covered in leaves, which were wet and slippery. Overall, we had a wonderful and very restful stay and we loved the gas logs. View is execellent, once the clouds lifted on Wednesday afternoon. We will definitely come back. Hopefully the coffemaker will be replaced by then. It was pretty grody looking.

Mountain retreat

We enjoyed our time in the area, which offers great hiking and waterfall experiences. Town was cute and had some good restaurants. The property listing grossly underestimates the time it takes to get into town. We found it took almost 10 minutes to get down the steep drive to the main road, and another 10 or so to get in to Brevard. This was a drawback for us. Icemaker mentioned in listing was not working. Pick up a bag of ice in town before you go up the mountain. Showerheads in both bathrooms were very low output; you had to really work to get wet and then to rinse off. The wonderful view from the porch was partially blocked by an overgrown tree smack in the middle of the vista; trimming it would greatly improve things. Kitchen is reasonably well outfitted for cooking, and the gas grill is a nice touch. If we return to the area, we will look for something a bit closer in.

Secluded home with great views.

Drive to the property is steep gravel road. We encountered a few harmless spiders in the corners of hallway or bathrooms that were easily dispatched. The blind over the door at the end of the hall doesn't fonalway the way to the bottom of the glass. The air was a little humid when we arrived but that was quickly resolved with the units in the home. These minor issues were the only negatives for my family. The porch and views were incredible. Even though we didn't cook on our short stay, the kitchen is very nice and guests could cook if they wanted. The fireplace was nice and would be enjoyable in cool weather. The wifi worked well. We were able to use the smart TV and Roku to stream our indoor entertainment. We've stayed in the area many times so we were plased with the location and the quiet seclusion of the property. My boys enjoyed the upstairs bedroom. I also was very pleased with the responsiveness of the owner. I would recommend this property if you are looking for a secluded getaway with great views.

Great view, great porch

The porch and the fireplace are the highlights of this house. The porch is wraparound with plenty of comfortable furniture to relax. It was chilly when we were there but still bundled up to watch the sunrise with my morning coffee. I would love to come back in the summer when we can truly enjoy the great porch and property. On the chilly evenings we enjoyed sitting in front of the gas fireplace. The house is equipped with everything we needed. Hosts were very responsive when we had a question. The road to get to the home is a bit of a challenge - it’s gravel and there are some ruts to watch out for. The last little bit is very steep, but by that point it’s paved again. With that said, the view and the property is worth the climb.One note about pillows: if you’re particular about pillows you may want to bring your own. The pillows on the 2 king beds are very thick and dense. We found them uncomfortable. Were did find a 2 that worked better in the upstairs bedroom closet. Great property, I would recommend it if you’re looking for a beautiful place to relax.

Hard Pass - Outdated and Unkept Mountain Home

We've stayed at 15+ homes and have had great experiences. Unfortunately, not here. 1. Finding the property is difficult because there is no clear signage of where to turn off the shared road. The directions reference turning at a mailbox, but the mailbox numbers are not legible. Adding a sign would make things easier. 2. The driveway is very steep and windy. It is very tight if you have a long-wheelbase vehicle, and it is also washing away in several sections. 3. The kitchen, bathrooms, furnishings, and appliances need to be updated. When renting a mountain home at this price point, you expect a certain level of quality. For example, the refrigerator water needs to be hooked up for water/ice, and the ice trays are cracked. The refrigerator is also missing a shelf. We can write about a dozen issues like this, but the post would be too long. 4. The home has AC units, not central air. They run constantly and are loud in the summer heat. This constant mechanical noise ruins the ambiance of the mountain setting. You can’t hear any of the sounds of nature. If you turn off the AC units and try to run the ceiling fans in the bedrooms, the noise is even worse. 5. The mountain views from the porch are blocked. The undergrowth and tree limbs have not been trimmed in many years, drastically reducing the long-range mountain views. 6. The gutters are clogged and have small brush growing in them. Although this did not affect our stay, it raised concern about the home's overall upkeep.
