Great House Close to Downtown
We just stayed in Brevard for a long Father’s Day weekend. The house was exactly what we wanted. Everything was clean and well taken care of. The back yard was full of fireflies in the evening and they put on a show. Even saw a white squirrel. Very walkable to downtown with all the shops and restaurants. Jan was super with the ease of check in and out. Will definitely stay here again.

Downtown Brevard
My family just had a wonderful stay in this house. The house had everything we needed and the location is excellent. We had some rainy days which made me really appreciate having a comfortable, cozy house that was close to everything when the rain stopped. I would definitely stay here again.

Wonderful house with excellent location!
What a gem only a short walk to downtown and a short drive to great hiking. Communication was excellent throughout and if anything the pictures do not do the house justice. Only wish that we had been able to stay longer! Will definitely visit again.

Great Location for Visiting Downtown!
I stayed at Jan's house since it was walkable to downtown Brevard. That was important to me as I was a vendor at the White Squirrel Festival. The house was also across from a wooded area where I spotted my first and only white squirrel! The house is very spacious which we enjoyed. No problems with anything at all. We recommend staying here!

Great location and newly remodeled
Spacious living areas and an easy 2 block walk to downtown. Quiet neighborhood and the home is well equipped, including a large gas grill on the back porch / deck. The back also has a screened in porch that was great for morning coffee.

Great house in a great location!
This is a very clean, well-maintained home in a great location. The layout of the house works really well for a family and the kitchen/dining area is perfect for a small group. We have now stayed in this home twice and would love to stay there again. The owner is very kind and our experience has been positive in all aspects.

Wonderful home-Perfect location!
The house was exactly as advertised and was perfect for a 8 day stay in beautiful Brevard. The house was extremely clean and well stocked. We enjoyed the screened patio each morning and evening watching the squirrels, birds and rabbits. The location was ideal to walking to dinner (one block off Main). The neighborhood was clean and quiet. We have stayed in several VRBOs in Brevard over the years and this is our favorite. Jan was a wonderful host and very attentive. It was like talking with an old friend. We’re looking forward to coming back!

Wonderful Brevard Getaway
We loved our stay at Downtown Brevard. Beautiful property with a large yard and driveway parking. We had several meals at the house and the kitchen was well equipped. We also walked to downtown for a few meals too, which was really convenient and a great way to get to know Brevard. We bought local peaches at the Saturday Farmer's Market which is practically across the street. Also, the location is just a great jumping off point for hiking to waterfalls and enjoying all that Brevard has to offer. Plenty of space for our family of four to relax. Owner provided clear instructions and was easy to communicate with. So happy we had this warm and inviting home to stay at our vacation!

So close to town
Jan was so nice and communicated with us well! She filled up the bird feeder prior to our stay and we were able to see 2 white squirrels!! It was little touches like this that made our trip perfect! There was plenty of room for our family of 3. We were able to walk into town which was awesome to not have to fight looking for parking! Would definitely stay here again! Also, Jan was accommodating to our schedule and allowed us to check in about 3 hours early! It was such a treat!
