Sunset Cottage Blocks from Downtown

Sunrise Cottage is a welcoming mountain escape while remaining blocks from the heart of downtown Brevard. Tucked off the main street and behind the owner’s residence, this stand-alone home offers everything you would need with its two bedrooms, full bath, kitchen, living room, and screened-in porch. Enjoy the property's lush gardens with flowers from April through October. There is a fountain patio with rocking chairs, Adirondack chairs, and a sun umbrella perfect for relaxing in the morning with your coffee or unwinding at the end of the day with your favorite beverage. There is also a fire pit with outdoor furniture for making s’mores.

For all ages, we have equipment to give you a great workout. There is a Ninja rig built by an American Ninja Warrior, a climbing wall, and behind the fence is a fort with swings, and a climbing dome.

The screen porch’s seating allows you to kick your feet up and breathe in the fresh mountain air or enjoy a meal or morning coffee at the cafe table with the backdrop of flower gardens, songbirds, white squirrels, and rabbits.

The cottage has one bedroom with a queen-sized bed, while the other has a trundle with 2 twin beds. The dresser in the trundle room has a pull-out shelf perfect for working on your laptop. Both rooms have Echo dots for music and alarm clocks. The kitchen provides filtered drinking water, a dishwasher, a full-sized refrigerator, and other amenities. There is a drip coffee maker and filters and coffee are supplied. Some spices, olive oil, Pam, ketchup, mustard, and mayonnaise are supplied. The home has high-speed wireless internet, Hulu TV for local channels and regular programming, Netflix, and Disney.

In the covered shed behind the house, you will find 2 adult bikes and a child’s bike, for your use for a quick trip to the heart of town or an adventure on the greenway. The shed is where you can also secure your bikes on the bike rack provided and a hose along the driveway allows you to easily clean off the mud from your bikes after tackling the numerous mountain biking trails. If your bike requires maintenance, a bike stand and bike tools are in the shed. A bike pump is located on the back porch of the main house.

This entire residence will be yours to enjoy and the shared gardens are also available for your enjoyment. The owner lives in the main house on the property and is available to help you whenever the need arises. If you need laundry done, she will gladly wash, dry, and fold your laundry for $10/load. Sunrise Cottage is the perfect spot to start and end your day’s adventures while in Brevard.

My 16 year old son and I enjoyed our week in the cottage. It was the perfect size for us. It was nicely equipped with everything we needed to cook and enjoy our stay. The location is quiet but also a short walk to downtown. Highly recommended!

Great Place to Stay!
This was a wonderful place for my wife and me to stay, as we traveled to the mountains to see the beautiful fall colors which we had not seen for many years. Carol was a great host and very kind. The positive reviews by previous guests were entirely accurate.The property is very clean and reasonably priced. It's in a great location very close to downtown Brevard (a less than five minute drive). We'd definitely stay again.

Wedding in Brevard
This cottage was perfect. The location was ideal for downtown and the wedding venue we attended. It was a 3 day event and being so close to everything made it so much nicer. The hostess was very pleasant and offered any assistance if needed. We plan to visit the area again at some point.

A Little Piece of Heaven
We were delighted with this rental. The guest house was located in a charming setting flanked by flower beds everywhere. Not only was the house extraordinarily clean...but our hostess had left more amenities than we had ever encountered in other rentals. The screened-in porch was another plus. We have already recommended this property to other friends.

Everything Needed and Clean!
The Cottage was CLEAN and just as the listing stated! A prefect place for short and/or long stays. Many extras provided in kitchen and bath! Games and books were also available. It was quiet at the Cottage and is under a 10 minute walk to downtown Brevard in a nice neighborhood. Communication with Carol was great and I appreciated the detailed email regarding check-in/out, directions, etc. I enjoyed the screened in porch in the mornings! A very pleasant stay and Host!

We depended on the reviews to make our decision about where to stay for our hiking trip to the Pisgah and can join all the others who rated it 5 stars. The description of the cottage is accurate. The cottage was clean with many thoughtful amenities. Carol was a great host, responding when we needed her but giving us the privacy we wanted. We will come again.
