About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire cabin to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

8 acres of privacy , stream and waterfall, Dupont, pets welcome.

Welcome to Happy Acres! This beautiful and well-maintained cabin sits on a knoll overlooking a nice stream with a pleasant waterfall. The surrounding grounds are landscaped with native plants and there are many places to sit and enjoy the surroundings. This property is surrounded by a forest of old growth deciduous trees--it will show spectacular fall color that you can enjoy from your porch.
The master bedroom is on the main floor with a private bathroom. Upstairs are two comfortable bedrooms, one with a queen-size bed and one with a full-size bed, that share a full bathroom. There is additional sleeping on the trundle day bed in the loft area that opens to a queen-size bed.
The wood accents and some of the furnishings and flooring were made from trees that grew on the property!
The property adjoins the Headwaters State Forest. This state forest is part of a project intended to extend from Table Rock in South Carolina through Caeser's Head, Dupont and Gorges State Parks. Lots of room for exploring, biking and hiking. Enjoy wading in the stream or just relaxing in the nearby swing. No need to leave the property--plenty of wildlife and beautiful surroundings to appreciate.
But when you are ready to explore the area, you will find that we are at the center of great things to do! Dupont State Forest with its magnificent waterfalls, horse, biking and hiking trails is just down the road. Brevard is only about 8 miles away with shopping, arts and crafts, and great restaurants! Go the other direction and enjoy the day in Hendersonville, or travel a bit farther to Asheville. Other parks in the vicinity include Pisgah National Forest, Gorges State Park, Caesar's Head, and Headwaters State Recreation Area--all the hiking you want with lots of scenic waterfalls and overlooks. Access the Blue Ridge Parkway and take in some spectacular scenery. Be sure to go and see the Pretty Place Chapel while you are here, or walk to the top of Sassafras Mountain, the highest peak in South Carolina; both only a short drive from the house. Happy Acres is just a few miles from the East Fork of the French Broad River--known for excellent trout fishing!

Property was clean and comfortable. Easily accessible to Dupont(Hooker Falls/Triple Falls)and Brevard, about a 20 minute drive to either one. We were thankful to have a place we could also bring our dog. Our boys loved exploring the water feature on the property. We wish we would have booked another night!

Great location for chasing waterfalls!

The house was plenty big enough for our group of 4 adults and 3 children. The kids loved playing in the creek below and exploring around the property! The adults loved sitting on the back porch and listening to the sound of the small waterfall. The location was excellent for visiting waterfalls and swimming holes. We came back each day and cooked dinner (the kitchen was fully stocked with pans and utensils!) and made a fire in the fire pit! We made many great memories for our family at this house. The Owner was a great communicator.

Fantastic stay!

Happy Acres is a wonderful property with all the amenities you need and is located in the most beautiful setting. It's so peaceful and we enjoyed both porches in the mornings and evenings. The stream with the little waterfall in the "backyard" added just the relaxation we were looking for. Everything about this stay went smooth and we would definitely stay here again, if we come back to this area.

We loved this property! It was completely surrounded by lush greenery and a canopy of trees. It was completely private with a winding driveway through the woods to get to the home. The covered front and back porches were perfect for relaxing and enjoying nature. The home was very clean and had all of the comforts of home. The owner has taken great care to provide everything you could possibly need, especially in the kitchen. He was easy to communicate with as well. Two evenings in a row we saw a momma deer and her fawn playing in the stream! We didn't want to leave. Also, it was less than 3 miles of a Dollar General so you can easily get forgotten items or food. The drive to Brevard is an easy 10 miles. About 5 miles, Cedar Mtn Outpost is a nice place that makes fresh pizza, provides a huge selection of craft beers and snacks, with great indoor and outdoor seating.Ray's place was centeally located to many beautiful mountain trails and waterfalls.

The Cooper Family of Myrtle Beach, SC

We are 3 generations from Myrtle Beach, SC and we all live within 3 miles of the Atlantic. We watched weather reports all week about Tropical Storm Debby, and though it came ashore Thursday morning with torrential rains, we left anyway! 7 hours later, we arrived at the most beautiful, serene house in the mountains! Pure paradise for 3 days and we're already planning a longer stay--same location-- next year!

Peaceful waterfall sound

The house was amazing. From the back deck you could see and hear a small waterfall and creek. The kitchen had everything you could want. The cookware and dishes were of the highest quality. It was very remote but still just a few miles to walking trails and restaurants. It was very obvious that someone took great care of the property.

Family Getaway

The home was clean, comfortable and well appointed. The property was picturesque. Listening to the waterfall from the back porch was relaxing. Attention has been paid towards the details of comfort in this home from the rocking chairs on the back porch to the fire pit with wood stashed in a dry location. This was a perfect location to feel alone in the woods and also Be close to town and great restaurants. And there are so many biking and hiking trails near by, along with waterfalls and swimming holes. Our family found it to be a lovely vacation spot! Thanks for helping us build fun memories.

Great Weekend Getaway

Everything was perfect!! Owners were AMAZING! They answered my questions in a timely manner. Property was as described by owners. Town near by to make a last minute stop for groceries and anything else you may need before reaching the property. Lovely weekend getaway. Our favorite activity was walking around downtown and sitting by the fire pit laughing and enjoying time together.

The property has potential but is NOT what the description claims. The outside was very unkept. You could not explore or enjoy the property due to overgrowth and general neglect. If you want land to be able to just relax and walk in this is not for you. Outside furniture was unclean and you could still smell cigarettes. The “no slip pads” on the front porch steps would slide when you walked and cause you to stumble. There was used coffee still in coffee maker and towels still in dryer. The inside was well stocked and house interior seemed overall clean. Wifi worked well.

Great location

Great quiet location nestled in the woods. Provided easy access (about 20 minute drive) to DuPont, Brevard, and edge of Pisgah for some hiking and exploring! The house is very well stocked with everything you need and plenty of room for a large group, though still great for me and my dog! Boat provided extra instructions on how to get to the house and tips for exploring the area! It does have a wood fire place, so be prepared for a rustic smell, but I got used to it pretty quickly. Never found the path to the stream, but still nice to listen to from the back porch!
