Cozy Cottage with Fire Pit & Creek Views

We offer a location for walking to all of the main attractions in the charming town of Brevard. Kids are always welcome, as we love to travel with ours! We use environmentally friendly cleaning supplies.

Master Bedroom: queen bed | Bedroom 2: full bed | Bedroom 3: 2-twin beds.

When you walk in, you'll see a bright and spacious area. With a high ceiling and an open floor plan, the living room, eating area, and kitchen are all connected. This makes it easy to stay in touch with your traveling partners. The kitchen is fully equipped with marble countertops, stainless steel tools, a Keurig coffee maker, and a microwave oven. Pots, pans and dish-ware provided.


The residence is equipped with high-speed internet with Wi-Fi and has a flat-screen Access to Netflix, AT&T, and game console. 800 thread count sheets and brand new memory foam mattresses in all beds.

This home is professionally managed and meticulously cleaned to provide stellar service for all of our guests. Think of it as a hotel-like experience in a spacious furnished home. If you need anything additional during your stay, we are here to help!

Colwell Cottage is located at the edge of a small town, so you can enjoy the woods at the back of our property. Read a book, watch wildlife across the creek, sip a glass of wine, grill your supper, or roast marshmallows while warming up next to a wood burning fire pit in the backyard.

Colwell Cottage is only a five-minute walk to Brevard’s restaurants, art galleries, breweries, coffee shops, bakeries and a movie theater. It is a few blocks farther to the Brevard Lumberyard Arts District, where you can listen to live music at 185 King Street, enjoy a beer at Squatch or dine at Magpie Meat & Three.

Brevard Music Center is less than 2 miles away. You can hike, bike or drive there from the cottage and enjoy our talented students and other well-known musicians June-August.

Franklin Park and the public swimming pool are also a walkable distance from downtown.

It is 7 mimnute drive to the entrance to Pisgah National Forest, where you can experience world class trout fishing, mountain biking, hiking trails and beautiful waterfalls. You can even take a dip in one of its many swimming holes.

Pisgah Forest contains the National Park Service’s Cradle of Forestry. Its visitor center offers interactive exhibits, films, and special events, as well as two paved interpretive trails. Several miles farther you can enjoy beautiful vistas along the Blue Ridge Parkway and dine at Pisgah Inn, with its scenic overlook of the mountains.

An enjoyable 25-minute drive will take you to Dupont State Forest for hiking or mountain biking on some of its 80 miles trails. Among the Forest’s many waterfalls, don’t miss Triple Falls, a 150-foot high waterfall featuring three cascades, or High Falls, a 120-foot high waterfall crowned with a covered bridge.

Thirty minutes away is Sierra Nevada Taproom, with farm-to-table dishes and a wonderful back porch offering live music. The brewery has been family-owned since the 1960’s and now has a national reputation. You can book a free tour of this impressive facility online.

In another direction, it is a 45-minute drive to the Flat Rock Playhouse, where you can enjoy Broadway-level plays at North Carolina’s state theater.

It is about an hour’s drive to Asheville with its River Arts District, the historic Grove Park Inn, and the renowned Biltmore Estate.

Guest have full access to the residence except for one closet and the basement.

If you have questions prior to or during your trip, we will be happy to assist you and help with any issue that may arise.

Great stay in Brevard
If you’re considering Colwell Cottage for a trip to Brevard, and need close proximity to downtown and the music park, look no further. We found the property to be quiet, spotless, and thoughtfully appointed. The beds were clean and comfortable, and we slept like babies after spending the days out at the Mountain Song festival. Our host was also gracious and responsive, and generously allowed us a late checkout as we were trying to coordinate family staying at multiple locations. It was a very kind gesture that made our day, and helped us enjoy our limited time together. Thank you, I hope we’ll be back!

Wedding Planning Stay
This is a cute little property just a short drive to the downtown Brevard area. We found the most amazing BBQ dive up across the street called Blue Smoke BBQ or now Smoke on BBQ. We would highly recommend this property. It had only one very small bathroom for having 3 bedrooms but it that does not bother you the place is great.

Clean, small
The photo of a creek was deceptive as it was a stream that has trash in it. Neighborhood is small rental homes and the neighbors were quiet Bathroom was clean but tiny and not much space for toiletries. Kitchen was very nice. Beds were ok but be warned… small. Sheets were great. Some things in listing not accurate like the tv and a PlayStation without controllers. Walking to Brevard possible but not that easy to do. Vrbo hosts are asking guests to do more cleaning We were notified before checkout to strip beds, take trash already over filled trash cans and place in front, Start laundry of sheets. Dishwasher and clean out fridge are standard requests but getting a notice before checking out with a warning if u don’t do everything requested will result in you losing your deposit. We paid for cleaning yet this felt a bit much and reading other reviews I see we aren’t alone. It had a nice well stocked kitchen and is clean. Listing said no kids. But guest book has families with 4 kids signed in. Nice small house will work for folks that are ok with that and don’t mind getting chores before departing

Clean, very comfortable, great location
Nice small home in a convenient location to downtown Brevard. The owner provided a good array of basics, soaps, shampoos, paper towels, etc. Beds are very comfortable, kitchen has everything you need. A little tight if you have only adults staying in the home, but doable. I recommend this property!

The house was beautiful and very clean. The kitchen had everything you need to cook and had coffee and extra condiments. It was so easy to jump right into our vacation. The beds were comfortable and we couldn't have asked for a better stay. We loved the fire pit and there was even sticks for the marshmellows and marshmellows provided. Thank you so much for a great weekend getaway..

Amazing Rental
We had never been to Brevard, and this cabin did not disappoint! It was beautiful inside, and the scenery was superb. I enjoyed the open concept. The kitchen was amazing and stocked with everything you may need. Three bedrooms meant no room-sharing for my boys. They loved that! The cabin was well maintained, and very clean. The yard was big enough for the boys to run around, and we all really enjoyed the fire pit! I would definitely recommend this cabin to anyone who is thinking about visiting this gem of a town! 10/10

'Familyversary'
We combined our 44th anniversary with Bloody Saturday so my husband, son, and grandson could trout fish. The fact that it was The White Squirrel Festival was an added bonus. Colwell Cottage was immaculate and although we really only slept there, as we have friends in Lake Toxaway and Rosman, it was perfect for our family. We would definitely come here again!

Stay away and do not trust.
Host falsely accused our group of damaging property and causing unnecessary delays in turn-around of property for next guests. Host provided no such basis or proof for these false allegations. Politley responed by informing host that our group of four read through check out instructions which included: doing dishes, emptying and taking out the trash, removing all food from refrigerator (which we did along with previous guest's food so we wouldn't be charged for that), putting remotes for tv back on table, and adjusting ac/heating temp controls to 72 degrees. In spite of doing all this, we received message from host stating: "Checkout instructions were not followed creating a delay to have place ready for next guest. We (sic) have more than 4 guest as reservation stated and found couch armrest broken." Politley responded by stating the reservation (which is easy to verify) was for four people which is why four beds were used. That all checkout instruction were followed and If linens were supposed to be put in laundry then that was an honest oversight on our part, but did not constitute a $250 fine. Additionally, nothing was broken during our stay. That we were not in the cottage during the day. That all we did was sleep there after coming back from the day's activities. Never received a response or pictures of any supposed broken items. Today was charged $250 and still no response. Have filed a formal complaint with VRBO. Word to the wise. Video everything when you arrive at your stay and video everything when you leave at the end of your stay. I have heard this kind of nonsense is starting to become all too common. Stay away and do not trust.

About the host

Hosted by Brenda Miranda

Host profile image
Love the nature, explore, camp, hike and go to the woods as much as I can. There is no better place to do it than in WNC where I call home for over 10 years. My family and I live in Brevard and it is easy to supervise our place and make sure our guests are more than pleased with the service provided. Please do not hesitate to contact me for any additional information.

Why they chose this property

When we were looking to buy our very first home we were very blessed to find this place. It is so close to town and was perfect for a single car family. Convenient for me to walk with my little children then. Was able to take them to park, public library and even pay my bills using a stroller for my youngest.

What makes this property unique

When you have gorgeous weather like in Brevard you want to spend as much time possible outdoors. We have a fire pit and creek on the back where you can enjoy wildlife on the other side of creek. We have a white squirrel that crosses and visits our back yard quiet often.
