Great spot, close to town
It was a great place. Everything was clean, and up to date. It had everything I needed in the kitchen to cook, and a nice big back yard, bigger than the photos suggest. I saw one of Brevard's famous white squirrels there! The one small hiccup we had was handled quickly and professionally by the owner. The one puzzling thing, is that this was advertised as a 3 bedroom, but the third bedroom was locked when we arrived. A sign said that it was available for an additional charge. We only needed one bedroom, so it was no problem, but if you go here with a larger group, ask if the third bedroom will be locked or not. We were never told ahead of time that the third bedroom would be locked, so I felt like this was a bait and switch. Also, although there were two full bathrooms, they were both inside the door of two different bedrooms. In other words, two bedrooms were suites with their own bathrooms, but there were no other bathrooms in the house. It wasn't a problem for me, but it would be weird if we had a larger group, and someone was using that third bedroom.

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!

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!

The house was immaculate, the owner has taken a lot of steps to make guests comfortable. From amenities provided to the comfortable furnishings. She also gave us tips to attract the well known “Brevard White Squirrels “ to the back yard. Also beautiful birds were abundant. We’ll be back.

What an amazing place to stay
I would like to keep this place a secret! My wife and I stayed here and its so close to downtown we could walk everywhere and its centrally located in some of the best hikes and waterfalls in the area. The owners were very attentive and responsive. It was immaculately clean. The only thing I could add is "shhhhhh - don't tell anyone, I want it to be my spot!"

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.

Cozy Home
This was my second stay at Jan Lees vrbo. This home is in an excellent location, and incredibly clean. The house is comfortable and has everything you need for a visit to Brevard. Jan is always quick to answer any questions, and on hand if there is an emergency (locked myself out :( ). Wonderful stay as usual.

My husband, our friends, and I loved this property and our host, Jan. Pleasantly surprised by the spacious house, and yard, in a lovely quaint neighborhood so close to downtown Brevard, and the blue ridge mountains. Saturday market was fun and just steps away from house at corner church parking lot. Jan is wonderful, attentive and a great communicator. House was clean, comfortable, spacious, and had everything needed. Especially enjoyed screened porch overlooking big private yard with large trees. When not out hiking, a walk through the neighborhood was a treat as well. Will definitely come back! Thanks again Jan!! Pam & Rick

What a fantastic gem of a find! This lovely home was perfect for our stay. Located half a block off of main street we could walk to all the restaurants and shopping. Pisgah National Forest was a 10 minute. The house is beautifully furnished and comfortable. We enjoyed sitting on the screened in porch and deck and spotted a white squirrel and deer. The owner Jan was a great communicator. We loved our stay and hated to leave. As soon as we returned home we booked another stay for the fall. Thank you Jan for everything.

Jan is a fantastic host, communication was excellent, check in was a breeze. The location is wonderful. Quiet neighborhood yet great walking distance to downtown. Saturday farmers market is just a few steps out the door! The home was one of the cleanest VRBO's I've ever stayed at. Furniture is clean and new, comfortable beds. Great backyard to sit and watch the birds and bunnies with a cup of coffee. Jan Lee went above and beyond to welcome us, even checking in after a very long drive back to New York. Looking forward to returning, will definitely rent this home again.

Charming home. Great location. Needs some TLC.
This home is truly special. Spacious layout, yet feels cozy. Both bedrooms are large and have private bathrooms. We enjoyed the deck and the pretty backyard. Location is wonderful. Just a short walk to downtown Brevard. Home does need some TLC--fresh paint, a deep cleaning (including the furniture), and operational blinds throughout. The two chairs in the den should be replaced. The cushions are shot. With these improvements, we would absolutely rate the house 5 stars.
