Great stay

This house is beautiful and an easy drive to get to. Especially at the height of the location. We even got lucky and on our last day the mountains decided to show themselves from the house. The kitchen is amazing and so are the deer :-)

A wonderful stay after The Bard in Western North Carolina had experienced a horrible time

Had a great stay at a great location just outside of Brevard North Carolina with wonderful Mountain views. Host worked with us after Hurricane Helene caused problems in Western North Carolina to make our stay great. Brevard had just opened up and we had a great time in the city.

Clean, Convenient, and Cozy!

We had an incredible week staying at Acorn's Retreat. The house is in a fantastic location, making it easy to explore the area. Great home to relax after a long day of local hiking. It's well-stocked, clean, and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. Our family made so many wonderful memories here, and we hope to return in the future!

Nice stay, very dog friendly!

The house and property were beautiful and really well maintained and the neighborhood was quiet. This house was perfect for our group of six and our 3 dogs. The kitchen was well stocked, everything was clean and comfortable, and it was an easy drive to downtown Brevard and hiking trails. The hosts were very welcoming and we would definitely stay here again!

Perfect mountain home

Acorn’s Retreat is a beautifully appointed, comfortable, spacious mountain home. The views are beautiful from the back deck, with glorious sunsets. The kitchen has everything you could possibly want - the bedrooms are comfortable with lovely linens - and the hosts were wonderfully communicative. Highly recommend! Ten out of ten!

Beautiful mountain vistas

Beautiful mountain vistas through a bank of windows were your reward for making the long, steep, winding drive from the road through the neighborhood. The house is well kept, spacious and peaceful. The kitchen is well equipped. The wildlife was entertaining, and the flowing artificial creek was charming. Plenty of towels, movies and puzzles provided.

Exceptional Property & Hosts

We were so pleased with our stay at Acorn's Retreat. The property is beautiful; the furnishings are fashionable, comfortable, and clean; and the kitchen is stocked with all the equipment needed to cook and to entertain. A new feature that may not yet be listed on the profile is a fire pit area outfitted with paver steps and platform and racks of cut wood. In every detail of the property, it is quite clear that the hosts have considered and attended to the comfort, enjoyment, and possible needs of their guests. Our only regret was that we could not stay longer on this trip. We will definitely return to Acorn's Retreat when we travel to the Brevard area again.

Wonderful as always!

Acorn’s Retreat is a beautiful home in one of the best neighborhoods that offers seclusion and privacy while only about 15 minutes from Downtown Brevard! The owners ensure you are well cared for by thinking of all the creature comforts making you feel welcomed and at ease! My family and I do not typically stay at the same location more than once, but because our first stay was so amazing, we rebooked and had an equally amazing stay this year!

Look no further!

Acorn's Retreat, named in honor of the owners' cute dog, is special.The house is lovely, spacious, well-organized and immaculate. The wonderful kitchen is amazing and well-equipped, and everything you need for a perfect vacation is thoughtfully provided. The artwork and the decor is beautiful and interesting. The grounds are incredible and the views spectacular. Carmen and Juan are terrific hosts and quickly answered any questions we had. It's by far the most outstanding vacation home we have ever stayed in and it was the highlight of our trip to the beautiful Blue Ridge Mountain region.

Luxurious and Welcoming Mountain Retreat

Acorn’s Retreat is 10/10! My husband and I stayed here for a long weekend with our golden retriever and all of us wish we could have stayed longer. This beautiful cabin is the perfect combination of casual and luxury. The property is spotless and meticulously well-kept, and the hosts have thought of every imaginable convenience to offer their guests. We especially enjoyed the hot tub, the fire pit, and the spa-like shower, and we made several wonderful meals on the Blackstone grill. We also loved how close the cabin was to downtown Brevard and all of the local shops, restaurants, and breweries. We would love to stay here again, but this time we will definitely book a longer stay!

Wonderful Family House

The property was absolutely amazing! I believe this was the best VRBO property I have ever had the opportunity to stay at. The kitchen was more than stocked with everything that was needed to cook any type of meal. The weather was not ideal (rainy), but we took advantage of the lovely fireplace. I don't normally travel with dogs, but my son brought along his for one night and I couldn't believe the dog-friendly amenities that were provided. I hope all those who stay here with dogs follow the rules so that it is not ruined for others traveling with their beloved pet. We had a wonderful time and Brevard was a total surprise and delight. We will definitely come again if the opportunity presents itself. Thank you to the hosts of Acorn's Retreat!

Juan and Carmen’s home was beautiful, comfortable and so welcoming. From the well equipped and spacious kitchen to the magnificent views looking out from large glass windows along one side of the house, everything was perfect!
