About this property

8 acres of privacy , stream and waterfall, Dupont, pets welcome.

Welcome to Happy Acres! This beautiful and well-maintained cabin sits on a knoll overlooking a nice stream with a pleasant waterfall. The surrounding grounds are landscaped with native plants and there are many places to sit and enjoy the surroundings. This property is surrounded by a forest of old growth deciduous trees--it will show spectacular fall color that you can enjoy from your porch.
The master bedroom is on the main floor with a private bathroom. Upstairs are two comfortable bedrooms, one with a queen-size bed and one with a full-size bed, that share a full bathroom. There is additional sleeping on the trundle day bed in the loft area that opens to a queen-size bed.
The wood accents and some of the furnishings and flooring were made from trees that grew on the property!
The property adjoins the Headwaters State Forest. This state forest is part of a project intended to extend from Table Rock in South Carolina through Caeser's Head, Dupont and Gorges State Parks. Lots of room for exploring, biking and hiking. Enjoy wading in the stream or just relaxing in the nearby swing. No need to leave the property--plenty of wildlife and beautiful surroundings to appreciate.
But when you are ready to explore the area, you will find that we are at the center of great things to do! Dupont State Forest with its magnificent waterfalls, horse, biking and hiking trails is just down the road. Brevard is only about 8 miles away with shopping, arts and crafts, and great restaurants! Go the other direction and enjoy the day in Hendersonville, or travel a bit farther to Asheville. Other parks in the vicinity include Pisgah National Forest, Gorges State Park, Caesar's Head, and Headwaters State Recreation Area--all the hiking you want with lots of scenic waterfalls and overlooks. Access the Blue Ridge Parkway and take in some spectacular scenery. Be sure to go and see the Pretty Place Chapel while you are here, or walk to the top of Sassafras Mountain, the highest peak in South Carolina; both only a short drive from the house. Happy Acres is just a few miles from the East Fork of the French Broad River--known for excellent trout fishing!

Fantastic stay!

Happy Acres is a wonderful property with all the amenities you need and is located in the most beautiful setting. It's so peaceful and we enjoyed both porches in the mornings and evenings. The stream with the little waterfall in the "backyard" added just the relaxation we were looking for. Everything about this stay went smooth and we would definitely stay here again, if we come back to this area.

The Cooper Family of Myrtle Beach, SC

We are 3 generations from Myrtle Beach, SC and we all live within 3 miles of the Atlantic. We watched weather reports all week about Tropical Storm Debby, and though it came ashore Thursday morning with torrential rains, we left anyway! 7 hours later, we arrived at the most beautiful, serene house in the mountains! Pure paradise for 3 days and we're already planning a longer stay--same location-- next year!

Family Getaway

The home was clean, comfortable and well appointed. The property was picturesque. Listening to the waterfall from the back porch was relaxing. Attention has been paid towards the details of comfort in this home from the rocking chairs on the back porch to the fire pit with wood stashed in a dry location. This was a perfect location to feel alone in the woods and also Be close to town and great restaurants. And there are so many biking and hiking trails near by, along with waterfalls and swimming holes. Our family found it to be a lovely vacation spot! Thanks for helping us build fun memories.

Great location

Great quiet location nestled in the woods. Provided easy access (about 20 minute drive) to DuPont, Brevard, and edge of Pisgah for some hiking and exploring! The house is very well stocked with everything you need and plenty of room for a large group, though still great for me and my dog! Boat provided extra instructions on how to get to the house and tips for exploring the area! It does have a wood fire place, so be prepared for a rustic smell, but I got used to it pretty quickly. Never found the path to the stream, but still nice to listen to from the back porch!

Peaceful waterfall sound

The house was amazing. From the back deck you could see and hear a small waterfall and creek. The kitchen had everything you could want. The cookware and dishes were of the highest quality. It was very remote but still just a few miles to walking trails and restaurants. It was very obvious that someone took great care of the property.

Great Weekend Getaway

Everything was perfect!! Owners were AMAZING! They answered my questions in a timely manner. Property was as described by owners. Town near by to make a last minute stop for groceries and anything else you may need before reaching the property. Lovely weekend getaway. Our favorite activity was walking around downtown and sitting by the fire pit laughing and enjoying time together.

Happy Acres = Happy Family

Location, location, location! This could say it all but then I’d miss telling about all the additional reasons this is paradise. The back porch was our favorite spot to read, listen to the brook. The falling leaves sounded like rain but looked like snow. The air was fresh and the autumn color dazzling. Loved the quiet seclusion but enjoyed the quick drive to Brevard and other special places/things to do. Can’t wait to go back in 2024.

Loved It So Much!

My family and I had the best time this weekend. We were tucked in, surrounded by nature, and it was so peaceful. The house was great and well stocked with everything we needed. The details and directions to get to the home were very well detailed, which was super nice. We had no problem finding it. We were also given suggestions for grocery stores, restaurants and things to do. There was plenty of room, inside and out for our dogs to play. We loved it and we look forward to staying here again soon!

Beautiful but needs to be cleaned

The house is beautiful. Everything needed for cooking was in the home which was nice. Beautiful sitting on the porch and watching the kids play and the hummingbirds. Property needs cleaned up inside. The house smells of mold and smoke. We have allergies and had a very difficult time spending time in the house. Several small repairs needed throughout the house as well.

Great experience!

We loved the house! It was more of a modern house in the woods, and was just what we needed. The house has an open floor plan that works well for a large group. I loved having the modern amenities available but the tranquility of being in a more secluded spot. It was close enough to the local towns to make it easy to explore the area, but still felt like you were in your "cabin in the woods". Would definitely recommend!

About the host

Hosted by Ray Bode

Host profile image
I came from Billings, Montana. I visited western North Caroliina for the first time in 2014. Fell in love with the area and bought this beautiful property! Happy to be living down the road from my brother and his wife! After being here for five years, I find there is still so much to see and explore in this part of the state

Why they chose this property

This is an amazingly beautiful property. The property backs up to the Headwaters State Recreation Area, which will extend hiking /biking opportunities from Table Rock in South Carolina to Gorges State park southwest of Brevard. Enjoy unlimited access to pristine park area previously unavailable for public use.

What makes this property unique

Total privacy. This is the ideal spot for finding the balance of a great location for multiple activities while enjoying the privacy of being secluded and private in a beautiful setting.
