About this property

Private charming Mountainside Cabin near The Pisgah National Forest.

Cabin #1, known as “Bear Ridge View”, is located on 64 privately-owned acres atop Mine Mountain, which is approximately ten minutes from the entrance to the National Pisgah Forest. The cabin is modern yet rustic and contains two bedrooms (1 King & 1 Queen), 2 baths, and a modern kitchen with granite countertops and stainless steel appliances. It also features generous outside decks with an outdoor eating area, wireless internet, Direct TV, a washer and dryer, and a gas grill. Guests can enjoy the solitude of the area while rocking on the covered back porch. This porch, which overlooks Pisgah Forest, features ample seating for large groups, as well as a ceiling fan and variable lighting to guarantee year-round comfort. Bear Ridge View, with its knotty-pine paneling and charming décor featuring a mix of unique antiques and newer pieces, is an ideal cabin for couples or small families.

The efficiency cabin, known as the “Moonshine Shack”, is located adjacent to this cabin and features one large main room, including a kitchenette and sleeping area, as well as one bath and a covered porch. This cabin got its name due to the fact that it was the site of a moonshine operation run by the prior owner. The Moonshine Shack can be rented for an additional fee of $50/nt plus a $25 cleaning fee to provide additional sleeping quarters for the occupants of Bear Ridge. Moonshine Shack is only available to guests that are also renting Bear Ridge. Moonshine Shack does not have wifi but does have Satellite TV.

Our cabins are professionally cleaned and provided with all linens and towels, a starter supply of soap, toilet paper, paper towels, dishwasher and laundry detergent, firewood and propane for the grill.

Mountain Getaway

This is the 6th time we have stayed at this property, and its always been great. The drive up the mountain (and down) may seem long, but its worth it! 360degree decks, peace and quite, and a beautiful space. Easy drive into Brevard or Asheville or Hendersonville, and very convenient to great hiking and waterfalls. We alternate between dining out and cooking in. Sipping some coffee on the back porch as the sun comes up is perfection. (If you like to get up early, that may just be me!)

Extended get away

The house is great. Beds are very comfortable. The house is very well appointed. Easy access to hiking trails. Our dog is welcome, which is a plus. They supply enough firewood for a week. My only complaint is we don't want to leave.Communication with the property manager is easy. Always available to help.

Just what we needed

The cabin was exactly what we expected and more. Everything we needed was there. the beds were super super comfortable. We were close to Brevard, which was nice and convenient. We loved having an awesome fire every night. And especially enjoyed sitting on the deck in the morning in blankets. We do plan on coming back.

Savannah folks enjoying your cabin

The cabin and location was perfect for what we were looking for. Something secluded and near the forest, and not far from lots of hiking. Absolutely perfect place to come back to in the evenings to rest up for more adventures during the day

Quiet seclusion but close enough to town.

Very nice indoors and out. Well stocked, even firewood we didn't use due to the season. Highly recommended!

Comfortable house, all you need to relax

This property is very clean, with lots of extras as far as quality of decor and comfort. It is located in an area that has many things to do within a short drive. At the end of the day you will relax on the beautiful deck, rain or shine. There’s a wrap-around covered porch on all sides. Would definitely recommend!

Terrific home!

This home was just what we needed. Close to town but offering a peaceful respite from the everyday. Spent hours enjoying the view from the deck. Snuggled by the fire at night. Kitchen is well stocked and the beds are comfortable. Hope to return again soon.

We have stayed at this mountain home several times and it works perfectly for us! House is well equipped with everything you need! We cook most of our meals there! The gorgeous fireplace and provided firewood make for the coziest of evenings. We just left and can’t wait to return!

Great Mountain Getaway!

We enjoyed our stay in the Mountainside cabin. The location is great. It is very close to Brevard which has many options for dining. The cabin was clean and very well equipped. We didn’t prepare meals there, but everything you need is there if you want to cook. Highly recommend this cabin.

Great Location, Great Place

This is our 3rd time staying at this home, it is a very nice home and we love the location. The house needs some updating, handles on chest of drawers are broken (for all 3 stays), the hutch in dining room is broken, the entertainment stand is broken. The kitchen is not well stocked, I would like to have a few more large pots to cook sauce as well as pasta at the same time and they are in need of Tupperware. We do really love this place, I just wish they would update a little.

Retreat from the real world

Such a well maintained cabin off the beaten path. Clean with elegant views and the feeling of being off grid. Has its own little seperate guest house. Enjoy the real wood burning fireplace or the huge outside deck. Just a fantastic place to relax. Plus short drives to parks, waterfalls and majestic little towns like Brevard. This is a 5 star stay!

This is our favorite mountain retreat cabin. We've stayed there twice and couldn't be happier. We had an issue this time with the heat in the moonshine cabin and the owners were very quick to respond.

Lovely Setting and Comfortable Cabin

This two bedroom cabin is on a beautiful property, and we had gorgeous sunsets with the view wide open with it being winter. It is a quick ride down the mountain to Pisgah. Cabin is cozy and had all we needed for a great getaway.

About the host

Why they chose this property

We chose to purchase rental property in the Brevard area due to its proximity to the beautiful scenery, wildlife, outdoor activities (i.e., hiking, fly-fishing, rock climbing, and bike riding, etc.) available in the hundreds of acres of state and national forest in the Blue Ridge Mountains. In addition, Brevard is a charming Appalachian town that offers a thriving music and arts community, as well as fantastic shopping and dining.

What makes this property unique

While a mere 10-15 minute drive to wonderful downtown Brevard area, visitors to this cabin will enjoy a private, secluded haven complete with astonishing views, a beautiful setting atop Mine Mountain, and the potential to see a large variety of the wildlife indigenous to this region (including the unusual white squirrels Brevard is known for).
