About this property

Black Balsam Cabin

  • Just 5 minutes from downtown Brevard, this Scandinavian-inspired cabin blends modern comfort with cozy mountain charm. Designed as a peaceful basecamp for exploring Pisgah National Forest, DuPont State Forest, and Brevard’s vibrant food and brewery scene, this retreat offers convenience, style, and amenities that surprise most guests.

    🌿 Scandinavian Comfort + Modern Touches

    Step into a warm, minimalist living space centered around a plush sofa bed, comfortable seating, soft lighting, and clean architectural lines. Whether you’re unwinding after a day of adventure or working remotely, you’ll enjoy:

    Fast, reliable high-speed WiFi

    A/C and heat for year-round comfort

    Smart TV + HDMI connections

    A full Nespresso bar with a variety of coffees

    The atmosphere is calm, clean, and intentionally designed—just as a Scandinavian cabin should be.

    🛁 Spa-Like Bathroom Retreat

    The bathroom is one of the guests’ favorite features. Enjoy a luxurious spa experience with:

    Heated tile floors

    Rainfall showerhead

    Body spray jets

    Soft towels and quality toiletries

    It’s the perfect way to relax sore muscles after hiking, biking, or exploring waterfalls.

    ☕ Large Porch for Morning Coffee or Evening Relaxation

    The oversized porch is ideal for:

    Quiet mornings with Nespresso

    Dining outdoors

    Watching squirrels and deer play in the woods

    Winding down at the end of the day

    The porch is often where guests spend the most time—especially with mountain air drifting and the forest surrounding the cabin.

    🛏 Sleeps Up to 4

    Bedroom with a premium queen mattress

    📍 Perfectly Located (But Important Note About Road Noise)

    The cabin sits close to a small country road that provides easy, fast access to downtown Brevard and the national forests. You may hear the occasional passing vehicle—especially motorcycles on pleasant weekend days. Most guests say it quickly fades into the background, but we like to be transparent.

    For added comfort, we provide:

    Blackout curtains

    A white-noise machine

    Guests mention feeling well-rested and comfortable despite the occasional road activity.

We come to Brevard every summer to mountain bike and hike and this cabin was by far the best place we have ever stayed in here! It was sooo beautiful, cozy, perfectly clean, unique and had everything we needed and more! My husband and I were so impressed and my two kids loved it as well. We hope to stay here whenever we visit Brevard!

Awesome stay in Brevard that is extremely close to everything downtown has to offer and only 30-45 minutes to Blue Ridge Parkway. Extremely nice cabin and Casey was super responsive. My wife and I have multiple friends who come to Brevard every year and have told them to ditch the hotels and stay here! Third time to Brevard and we plan on staying here on our yearly visit!

Cabin was adorable. Bathroom was exceptional. Even had heated floors. Had everything we needed and some extra. Location was nice and private but also close enough to downtown to have dinner. Right between Pisgah National Park and DuPont National Park for hiking and biking. Hosts were great with communication and very quick to accommodate our needs. They are building a few fun things into the property (like a sauna of some sorts) that we are looking forward to enjoying on our next trip.
