Cutest Campsite Ever!!!

We absolutely loved our stay. This little RV was perfect my myself and my two children, 17 and 7. We arrived Friday, January 24 and left January 27th. Everything was clean and cozy upon arrival. I had a few issues, because I waited to read the welcome letter until I was settled in, but Brent was easy to reach and quick to offer assistance. The property is entirely too cute and well kept. We really enjoyed the fire pit each evening as we wrapped up our busy days exploring the waterfalls, which the owners told us was frozen over and encouraged us to check it out. That was one highlight of our trip. There are grocery stores and restaurants nearby. So many sights to see, we didn't get them all in one trip. We definitely plan to return in the spring or summer to get in the water and get a whole different feel for the mountains. Thank you for sharing your place with us Brent. By far our favorite stateside getaway to date.

PERFECT

The cleanest camper and property. Nice location and had everything we needed! 10/10! Was nice to sit on the deck in the morning and drink coffee and a nice firepit area to sit in relax in the evening. Close to Brevard and all the fun things to do in the mountains.

Father and Sons weekend glamping getaway.

Great host great location. Dupont Park is only about 5 Mi away. Brevard is only about 7 Mi away. Hendersonville is only about 15 to 20 miles away. Quiet peaceful well equipped camper. Glamping at its best. Absolutely excellent for two adults with maybe one or two children. Has everything you need for an excellent stay. I do plan on coming back very soon. Highly recommend this glamping experience.

Fantastic host

Unfortunately our trip was cancelled due to Hurricane Helene. Brent communicated with me as soon as he was able to and even refunded the trip cost in full. I will absolutely reschedule and stay at this property or another one if he has others.

Mother and Son Hiking Trip

The property was beautiful and very clean. The outside deck was perfect for stargazing at night! The location was perfect for a visit to Dupont Recreational Forest as well as Pisgah. The inside was comfy. The only negatives were that the futon in the living room was very small and not very comfortable for an adult and I was unable to get the stove to work. However, overall it was a great stay.

Nice getaway spot

The RV is very attractive and well kept. The porch area is very nice with a great view. The main mattress is a little firm, but the two pull out/conversion beds worked great for our kids, ages 7 and 10. Great location.

Nice camper

Property was in a nice quiet space. The large porch and fire pit area were a very nice touch and gave us the chance to enjoy the outdoor space. It is a little dark outside if you’re getting in late but that was the only thing that was a challenge for us.

Weekend getaway

Great place to stay. It is a camper, so ceilings are pretty low, and bathroom is small, but it was comfortable and clean. We enjoyed sitting on the porch in the early morning and evenings. Things were easy to find, and well stocked. We would stay here again.

Nature retreat

This was the most relaxing week I’ve had all year in this beautiful spot surrounded by nature! This property is perfect, we sat on the covered porch for coffee every morning and watched the birds and a deer, then sat by the fire in the evenings and watched the sunset. The property is so well maintained, the flower garden is beautiful, the view is beautiful. The host had firewood and starters onsite. On the days it rained we were still able to grill (there were spices in the kitchen, new grilling utensils and an awesome grill, which also looks new) and had dinner on the covered deck while listening to music with the outdoor speakers. There are recliners for tv viewing or reading at night and the most plush bath towels, (which is a treat in a rental) It’s 5 min to the entrance to DuPont State Forest where we hiked to 3 amazing waterfalls, 15 min to downtown Brevard, 20 min to downtown Hendersonville, and 25 min to Headwaters outfitters, that the host referred us to and I highly recommend them for kayaking, tubing, fishing , they have a tap house and food trucks and a great shop. I can’t say enough about this property. I just wish I could add pictures. We will definitely be staying here again!

Waterfall Getaway

My husband and I visited for a long weekend of hiking and waterfalls! This was the perfect place for us! The location was so convenient to DuPont National Forest and Brevard. We found the camper just as advertised and more than accommodating for us. We loved it!!! We are already talking about visiting again!

The first time staying in an RV, we really didn't know what to expect. But from the moment we saw the place, we knew we were going to love it. Beautiful location and the RV was very clean and roomy and fully stocked with anything you need. We will definitely stay again. A++++

Perfect

My husband and I stayed for 4 nights with our grandkids, ages 8 and 13. The camper was very clean, roomy, and equipped with everything we needed. We considered booking a cabin or hotel, but decided “glamping” would be more fun for the kids and we were not wrong. Great location for hiking in DuPont and Pisgah, with easy access to Brevard and Hendersonville.
