This is a lovely house, true to the photos and truly close to town. Brevard is a cute little town and we had no trouble finding places to eat and shops to stroll through. My daughter and I had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. We came to Brevard for some hiking and rock climbing. We were glad to have a washer and dryer for our dirty clothes, a well stocked kitchen for coffee and lunch making, and a cute porch to sit on in the evening. The beds were comfortable for us and we had plenty of sitting space. I would recommend this VRBO to friends!

Bracken Bungalow was the perfect little getaway to a perfect little town. Beautiful home that fit all our needs. Owners are very thoughtful to the needs of renters. The sheets and towels that are provided make it a hassle free stay. We love a front porch to have coffee on in the mornings and end our evenings. Close to beautiful scenic hikes with gorgeous waterfalls and a fun downtown. Many local breweries close by. It was exciting to see our first white squirrel too! Definitely a welcoming home we will return to!

Great small home in Brevard

This house is perfectly located within easy walking distance to downtown. The home itself is well appointed and everything is comfortable and just as advertised. The beds are comfortable, and layout is perfect for 2-4 people to hang out, relax and enjoy everything downtown Brevard has to offer. We will definitely look for Bracken Mountain house next time we visit Brevard.

Great Getaway

Property was very clean and well kept. Within walking distance to downtown with plenty of shops and restaurants. Plenty of hiking trails with beautiful waterfalls within a few miles of Brevard. House had all the things needed if you were cooking full meals or just snacking. Will definitely stay again and recommend to my friends and family. Lisa and Harlem were great.
