Bracken Bungalow - Cozy retreat a short stroll from downtown Brevard

This cozy retreat is located just a gentle 4-block stroll to the heart of Brevard, NC with its many restaurants, shops, and breweries. Bracken Bungalow is also close to the Brevard Music Center and other music venues.

With almost 350 waterfalls across the state, more than 250 are in Transylvania County alone, with Brevard as the county seat. Known as the Land of Waterfalls, this area puts visitors within easy access to the waterfalls and is known as a hiking and biking mecca.
This home has two bedrooms both with queen beds, and two full bathrooms. The dining room table seats six, and there is an adjacent bar that seats two for dining. The open floor plan provides plenty of room to relax and unwind and allows for uninterrupted conversation from the kitchen to the living room. There is an office nook with chair for use.

The house has a laundry room with washer, dryer, iron, and ironing board. The kitchen is well stocked with ample cookware, dishes, and glasses for cooking a delicious meal at home. There is a hand mixer, a waffle maker, a blender, and a crockpot. The gas grill is on the lower level in the basement and available to use. The basement is available for bike storage or other gear you are traveling with and is stocked with a bike stand, floor pump, and bike cleaning supplies.

Notes:
1. No pets allowed.
2. There are only two parking spots and no parking on the street in front of the house. There is on-street parking within a few blocks of the house.
3. This house has a Ring doorbell.

Perfect Location for Brevard Music Center Activities
My teen son was attending a guitar camp for the week and I was able to comfortably work during the day at this lovely property. The calming Corinthian bells on the front porch and the front and back doors open to the screen doors to let fresh air in made it such a great work environment. This is a conveniently located property amongst close neighbors and right on the road in and out from the Brevard music center. I really enjoyed the property and would come back.

Great Getaway
Property was very clean and well kept. Within walking distance to downtown with plenty of shops and restaurants. Plenty of hiking trails with beautiful waterfalls within a few miles of Brevard. House had all the things needed if you were cooking full meals or just snacking. Will definitely stay again and recommend to my friends and family. Lisa and Harlem were great.

Fabulous Property!
This was the perfect place for us for the Brevard College graduation weekend! The location is close to the college, the walkable downtown and numerous shops and restaurants. And the house and property are immaculate! The hosts live nearby and how much they care is evident in every detail. Highly recommended!

Great small home in Brevard
This house is perfectly located within easy walking distance to downtown. The home itself is well appointed and everything is comfortable and just as advertised. The beds are comfortable, and layout is perfect for 2-4 people to hang out, relax and enjoy everything downtown Brevard has to offer. We will definitely look for Bracken Mountain house next time we visit Brevard.

Wonderful Weekend!
Bracken Bungalow is conveniently located within walking distance of downtown Brevard and the Lumber district. The hosts provided everything you could need as well as several special touches that enhanced our stay. There was even a white squirrel in the yard on arrival! It was the perfect home away from home. We will certainly be back!
