Beautiful cabin

We spent thanksgiving week here. The cabin was exactly like the photos. Very clean and cozy. The views were spectacular. The communication with the host was amazing. The drive up to the cabin is exactly how the host described it. It’s a bit steep, bumpy and not paved. Our kids saw it as an adventure every day. We loved staying here and hope to come back soon.

Perfection

If we could have created from scratch the perfect place for our spring getaway, Summit Retreat Guesthouse would have been it. High on a mountain top with views for miles, endless hiking trails and a brand new pet friendly guest house checked all the boxes we were seeking.

Could never find fire extinguisher. Extremely clean. The response to no air conditioning once notified. Driveway did have larger ruts than expected. Would like to rent again in the future.

Gorgeous Sunrise & Sunset Views, Prepare for the Driveway

We arrived at the place late in the evening, and we found it just as described. The host provided firewood beforehand for a very small fee, and it was waiting for us when we arrived. The views from inside the house and from the porch are absolutely spectacular. Regarding the "4x4 Needed" bit: the gravel driveway is long and it has a few steep sections. We didn't have any issues with it in our manual transmission Subaru Forester. It will add 5 or 10 minutes to your phone's estimated arrival time for directions. It's worth it for the views.

Summit Retreat

Meet what we were looking for in blend of proximity to Brevard/activities and seclusion with a view. As notated the driveway is a bit of adventure in itself but easily navigable with the right vehicle. Property itself was clean and appropriately appointed. Would definitely stay again for our next vacation to the area.

Breathtaking Views

The house provided an exceptional experience; it was immaculately clean and the breathtaking views were every bit as stunning as described. The 1-mile drive up, while steep and narrow in spots, was manageable with our AWD vehicle. For safety, we recommend returning before dark. Once there, the strong Wi-Fi connection and the location's quiet, fresh mountain air make it an ideal retreat for remote work or a peaceful getaway.

Summit Retreat Guesthouse

Summit Retreat was wonderful for our Fall getaway. The house is new, clean and pet friendly. We grilled every evening and sat on the deck enjoying the spectacular mountain views. With the crisp Fall air we were thrilled with the fire pit. White Squirrel Realty was super! They communicate well and are extremely helpful. We will definitely be back.

Directions to the cabin were great. The warning about driveway is spot on. The guest house is really clean and well stocked. We would suggest that a fire extinguisher be in the cabin.

The house was amazing, clean, and the sunrise and sunsets views were breathtaking. We really loved the views, the distance away from city noise and the fresh air. We had a pile of nice dry wood pile for the outdoor fire pit waiting for us. Next time I book this house, I will get all stocked up for several days and work from there. The WiFi was better than at my house. The mountain road going up to the house was about 1 mile and steep and narrow in some spots, just as mentioned, but the drive was ok with our AWD and we made sure we got back before dark just to be safe.

Stunning, beautiful, clean, nice and kind people!

We are looking for additional property in the area. We found his guest house and it was amazing. Beautiful. Clean. Updated. And I’m picky! Highly recommend. Drive up is a hoot! Be prepared at night. But so worth it!
