We came to town to visit our sons at Brevard. 7 of us. The house was fully stocked. Clean. And very welcoming. We had the blessing of meeting the owners. Truly fantastic humans.

Great location to explore Brevard

A fantastic location to explore the cool town of Brevard and the local mountain highlights. Quiet and charming. It has several rooms and living spaces throughout. Great for a larger group. Bathrooms are small but functional. The hosts were fantastic and provided ample kitchen supplies including coffee and condiments (always a huge help!).

Great Location - Biltmore to Waterfalls & Wineries

This house was delightful. It was just as advertised - 3 bathrooms, 4 bedrooms, plenty of indoor & outdoor gathering spaces. Plenty of comfortable beds and furniture. We were able to see the splendor of the Biltmore Estate and the natural beauty of surrounding waterfalls in Gorges State Park, Pisgah National Forest, and Du Pont Forest. We would stay here again in a heartbeat.

Long Weekend Getaway

This is a great property located a short drive to Downtown Brevard. The house was clean, roomy and comfortable, and located in a quiet area. Perfect for catching up on some badly needed rest and relaxation. We will definitely stay here again when visiting Brevard.

About the host

Hosted by Charles Merrill

Host profile image
Both my wife and I were born in Transylvania County. We have recently retired and enjoy travel, family, and volunteering. I served on the Brevard Fire Dept. for almost 40 years and just recently "hung up my fire gear" too. We have two sons and 6 grandchildren who also live in the area. We love Brevard and believe you will too. We'll do everything we can to make your stay a time you'll always remember.

Why they chose this property

This was my parents' home and I grew up here. In the early 1900s it was home and office to a local dentist. My parents, Riley and Marge, bought it from the Loftis family around 1940. They loved to open it to friends and family and because they loved it, we decided to make it available to visitors to the area. We live next door so we will be available to help make your stay as pleasant as possible.

What makes this property unique

We are less than a mile from the town square, Brevard Music Center, Camp Illahee, and Keystone Camp. There's plenty of parking along with a locked building for bike and equipment storage and a bike washing station. We can host a large family gathering or a group of friends who just want to explore Brevard and the surrounding area.
