The apartment was very nice although the driveway was a little scary due to the steepness (especially since we arrived in the dark.) We did have to bring our 17-year-old last minute and took a little back-and-forth with the owners to allow this. The location was perfect as it's close to Pisgah and we were here to observe the ghost fireflies (a must-see, they're magical!). All in all it was a nice weekend and the apartment was fine.
This property is aptly named because every window looks out on an amazing forest of old growth bamboo. Because of its private setting, it's enticing for birds and wildlife. We observed piliated woodpeckers, catbirds, blue jays, wrens, cardinals, rabbits, a chipmunk, and even a turtle. Very peaceful.
Wonderful location near downtown, private entry, and ample space for a small family.
Please be aware that this is a basement apartment. The front door was hard to open/ close tried not to slam. PEACEFUL birds singing, chipmunks, squirls, rabbits in yard.
Parking is off a sloped driveway.
The apartment was clean and well appointed and bigger than described. Terrific location with plenty of privacy while being close to most everything in Brevard. David and Ginger are excellent hosts!
The unit was very cute and I was pleasantly surprised it had an additional 1/2 bath off the living room. The kitchen could stand an upgrade in cookware and utensils. I would not have been able to actually cook a meal. Minimally, I would suggest an electric kettle, a toaster, and a microwavable measuring cup. The exterior motion sensitive lighting was triggered by small animals and the blinds on the windows were insufficient to keep the room dark. Blackout curtains in the bedroom would help. The walkway was well maintained but very slippery in the frosty mornings and would benefit from some non-slip treading. The neighborhood is both beautiful and very convenient to downtown. Quite walkable.
Great little place to spend time in Brevard! Very clean and convenient. Bed is firm if you like it. Nice to have two bathrooms to spread out. Would definitely recommend!!
We were in Brevard to visit our children, so we spent quite a bit of time out & about. But, when we were there, it was very comfortable & clean, with plenty of bedclothes & linens. They provided lots of basic things you would need, along with a couple of snacks & coffee.
Check-in & check-out were a breeze & they didn't have an overly-complicated list of "do's and don'ts" like some other places we've rented, only a few basics.
We did hear the occasional footsteps upstairs, but nothing that would keep us from staying again.
Another review said there were no electrical outlets in the bathrooms. That is not true. There IS one in the main bathroom, but not the half- bath.
We spent a wonderful four days at this private apartment in Brevard. It was our first time, but it will not be our last. Everything is as described. The apartment is cozy, bright, well-maintained, very private, and in a really pleasant neighborhood. We made use of the well-stocked, clean kitchen and it's double oven! Every room was clean and fresh. The bed was very comfortable, and check-in and check-out was very easy. We were fortunate to meet the owners, and hope to see them again sometime in the future. P.S. We are cyclists and have been riding the area for years. It was so convenient to ride right out of the neighborhood to our favorite spots The only negative? Having to leave.
What a great place and location. Beats a stay in a hotel any day. Very specious. Definitely will keep this in mind when we come back to the area and can stay longer.
