🚴‍♂️ Adventure at Your Doorstep

Imagine riding your bike to the trails, returning home for a leisurely lunch, then setting off to fish or float along a nearby river. Cap off your day with dinner in Cedar Mountain or Brevard, or simply unwind with a cookout and bonfire under the starry sky.

🍽️ Convenient Dining Options

Located a short distance from the cabin, you'll find a variety of delights and supplies in the heart of Cedar Mountain. Whether you're craving a farm to table meal at the local cafe, a pint by the river at the canteen, a tasting of local Moonshine and music, or need to pick up supplies at the outfitters store, it's all just a short stroll or ride away.

Tucked away amidst the trees and mountain laurel, this home offers tranquility and privacy. Once accessible only to select family members, this private community now invites you to experience one of WNC's most beautiful and historic summer retreat locations.

🐾 Pet-Friendly Paradise

Bring along your furry companions (1 or 2 dogs allowed with prior approval) to share in the adventure! A nominal fee of $100 per dog and agreement to crate them during your stay ensures a hassle-free experience. Dogs only need to be crated when no one is home with them, ensuring their safety and your peace of mind. (Sorry, we don't allow cats due to allergies.)

🏡 Your Home Away From Home

I believe we have stayed here four times now and we will be back again. Can’t beat the location for riding DuPont or Pisgah. Great food at cedar mtn cafe and away from all the humans in Brevard.

Anniversary Trip
My husband and I wanted a place close to Dupont National Forest to celebrate our 18th wedding anniversary. This was the perfect spot. Great location and so comfy & cozy. It was just us, so we closed off the other two bedrooms and just slept in the king room.The bed was amazing. After hiking and mountain biking all day, it was so comfortable, like sleeping at our own house. It was well stocked and very clean. We hope to bring our kids back and do another trip again soon. The owner was easy to reach and check in was easy. You do not have cell service, but having the land line to give out to our family worked great and WIFI was good enough so we could facetime out and still work a little from our laptops. It was a great location too. The Creekside Cafe just a few mins down the road was yummy for breakfast and dinner, and you are right across the street from the Dupont entrance. We will were able to hike and then go back home for lunch. We loved it! It was a much needed kid free weekend.

We loved the house and the surrounding neighborhood with the beautiful garden and Chapel next door. Sitting on the porches and enjoying the cool mountain air was so nice. House is clean and comfortable and had everything we needed. It is the perfect location for hiking in Dupont and Pisgah and exploring Cedar Mountain and Brevard. We would definitely stay here again!

Perfect Mountain Get-Away
My husband & I visited Summer Haven for a second time a few weeks ago & once again we were not disappointed. We love everything about about the place! The location is perfect - a short drive to several parks with lots of outdoor things to see and do. It's also just a few miles from Brevard, a quaint little mountain town with lots of shopping & plenty of great restaurants. There are also several golf courses within short driving distance. While the cabin is located just off "the beaten path", it's very secluded with no road noise & is surrounded by beautiful trees that you see from every window. The wrap-around deck is the perfect place for morning coffee. I can can't say enough about inside the cabin itself: It is spotless, has nice appliances, well-stocked, comfortable, beautifully decorated, I could go on and on...... We LOVE Summer Haven & can't wait to go back!

Mountain Getaway
We enjoyed our stay at Summer Haven! The cabin was tucked away in beautiful Cedar Mountain. We loved that it was private, quaint, exceptionally clean, dog friendly, and stocked with everything we needed to cook dinners at home each night. The surrounding area is absolutely gorgeous with several state parks within a few minutes drive. We are already looking forward to coming back!

Mountain Christmas
This is our second year staying in Summer Haven for Christmas. It is in a perfect location near DuPont and Caesars Head for hiking and mountain biking. It's a quick drive to Brevard and Hendersonville. Melinda was very responsive and helpful when we needed her. The house is very cozy and in a quiet location next to an charming outdoor church. The kitchen is fully equipt and there are lots of cozy towels and blanket and throws to snuggle up with. There was even towels for our dog!! What a lovely time. Thanks again.

Never have to leave Cedar Mtn
Great location for hiking and mountain biking, Cedar Mountain NC now has pretty much everything you need to never have to go into the big city, “Brevard” 😁 very private location, I’ve travelled the area by car, bike, and foot for 13+ years and never knew this street existed.

Wonderful Getaway Vacation
We enjoyed staying in this beautiful home! It felt like we were in a treehouse looking out every window at the beautiful fall foliage! We spent a lot of time on the 3 sided deck and loved the rocking chairs! Kitchen is very well stocked with appliances and utensils. Owner provided a very informative notebook of the area.

Relaxing Stay
The property was very clean and well stocked with anything you could need. We enjoyed the wooded setting and did not hear or see any neighbors the entire time we were there. We visited the Cedar Mountain Cafe for a delicious breakfast and a quick dinner. The king sized bed was super comfy. The only negative was all three bedrooms are upstairs with only one bath up but we made it work. All the positives far outweighed that one negative. Would definitely stay again.
