About Babbling Brook cottage:
The cascading stream and waterfall view make this cottage the perfect retreat.
The cottage overlooks a beautiful stream cascading down the mountain. The water cascades down the waterfall then down the brook over moss covered rocks, creating wonderful sounds of rushing water as it flows behind the cottage. A gas log stove will keep you warm on a brisk fall evening or winter day. Cable TV and a Video Library will make your stay enjoyable.

Don't let the lower rates fool you. We have very NICE accommodations, refreshingly cleanly kept and most of our guests turn into repeat guests! Many have been coming for many years/several times a year and will for generations to come!

The master bedroom has a glass door that opens onto the covered
porch perched above the brook. You can see the waterfall from this covered porch/open deck combo and it's perfect for watching the squirrels play or birds sing.

*The living room has a warm cozy feel that makes you feel that you are at your own personal home away from home. Babbling Brook cottage is filled with handcrafted furnishings that will make your stay enchanting.

2 Comfy bedrooms - 2 full baths - full kitchen & laundry area - sleeps 4.
The Living room has an enchanting gas fire that will warm you on the cool nights.

This cottage has three covered porches/decks where you can entertain, cook out on the grill, or just sit back and enjoy the day.

YOU JUST WON'T BE ABLE TO FIND A BETTER LOCATION TO STAY - FOR WATERFALLS, SIGHT-SEEING, HIKING, ETC! We are in the scenic valley just east of town. No crowds! Drive past the pastures that flank the river into a wonderful area of peace and contentment.

Time to:
Brevard 10-15 minutes
Hendersonville 15-20 minutes

Linens, towels/washcloths, dish and laundry soap, & paper products are provided

********We pride ourselves on having a very clean cottage*********
We hope you'll like it!

Such a beautiful cottage on the stream that you can hear from the master bedroom! Very clean with all the amenities you could ask for :-). The hot tub was so nice on the cool mornings and walking down to the stream with my little dog was awesome he absolutely loved it 🐕. The bear theme gives you an atmosphere of being in the mountains even when inside :-). Would absolutely recommend and I'm sure I will be a return renter.

Getaway weekend

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Babbling Brook. The house was perfect, the location was perfect, and our weekend was perfect. We were pleasantly surprised when we arrived to the nice blanket of snow on the ground. We would definitely stay here again.

Loved the back deck

We really enjoyed the first half of our stay here until hurricane Helene intervened. The back deck overlooking the wooded back area and the creek were the highlight. We were very comfortable and had everything we needed for a great stay.

Best location and very clean!!

This was a great little place in a perfect location to Brevard, Hendersonville, multiple breweries, and waterfall hikes! We even saw a bear in the road while we were driving down the mountain, which was very exciting! It was very clean and had everything we would need. The beds were very comfortable. My only complaint was the WiFi didn’t work very well but that might be residual to the storm.

2nd time just as good as the 1st!

This was our family’s second time staying at this cottage. My family loves staying here. The amenities such as a dishwasher and 2nd bathroom are nice to have! I think there is a different cleaning crew cleaning since the last time we stayed which was nice. They had soft towels and little shampoos and soaps for us to use! We also didn’t need to change the bedsheets like we needed to the last time we stayed. The house is in a great location…about 15 minutes from Brevard and less than 10 minutes from DuPont (hiking and biking trails). We would love to stay here again in the future!
