Tough time to be there
We were stuck there during Hurricane Helene. We were lucky it was up in a hill as the neighbors were getting flooded. No power, water, out cell service for a few days. I sent a picture of the mudslide to the property manager when we left. Would've been nice for someone to ask if we were okay at some point though. Many people were not.

Perfect mountain getaway
We recently had the pleasure if staying at this beautiful mountain home. It's in a great location with easy access to downtown Brevard and local breweries. It was exceptionally clean, well equipped and easy to access. The communication with the property manager was excellent. The home had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. I highly recommend it

Fantastic
The home and the beautiful view was just as described! We utilized every part of the house with its games, grill, fire pit and loved the proximity to Pisgah and DuPont trails and waterfalls. Brevard dining and shopping were all close. Keith, the property manager was very helpful and accommodating. A great trip enjoyed by all! Thank you!

A Comfortable Place
We enjoyed our stay at Shifting Gears for a family birthday weekend. The beds are comfortable, plenty of spaces to spread out, loved the sunroom and deck, and appreciated the lovely antiques and nostalgic pieces thoughtfully placed throughout. The home is in a great location, close to grocery, and central to many things to see and do. One day we sent up 276 to the Blue Ridge Parkway, had lunch at Pisgah Inn, visited the Cradle of Forestry, and stopped at Looking Glass Falls. The next day we visited Dupont Forest, Jeter Farms, and Mills River to Sierra Nevada Brewery. Each night we were home to enjoy the beautiful view. Would welcome another visit to this Comfortable Place!

US Gravity Nationals - Ride Rock Creek
We loved this house! The deck and sunroom were our go-to spot. There is an amazing view of the mountains and sunset every night with comfy patio furniture and air conditioned sun room. The beds were comfortable and the kitchen was well stocked. It could use a few more dishes and silverware but we just did dishes often. We traveled to the area for US Gravity Nationals and the garage was perfect for bike storage and bike maintenance. The drive to Ride Rock Creek was about 40-45 minutes on curvy narrow roads. The house is only a couple minutes from Brevard, the Hub bike shop and two really good breweries. While half of our party was enjoying the gravity scene, three of us pedaled around Pisgah and DuPont which were both relatively close. The steep driveway was intimidating at first be we navigated it ok...even with our low clearance minivan. We would definitely stay here again!

Great MTB Vacay House
Booked this house with some friends so we could hit the nearby trails in Pisgah and DuPont and everyone loved it. The house was well furnished and the views from the deck out back were stunning. The bike rack and work stand in the garage were a nice touch too. Excellent all-around.

Beautiful house with great amenities
This wonderful mountain house impressed us all with how beautiful and comfortable it was! The hosts were easily reached and helpful, and many thoughtful touches - such as light-blocking curtains, extra towels, and a collection of games and puzzles - put this house over the top for us. We loved seeing the sun set over the mountains from the deck each night, and the location was a great balance between privacy and close distance to Brevard and to Pisgah Forest. We hope to come back soon for another great stay!

Everything was Perfect
We’ve made several trips to Brevard for mountain biking and hiking, and this house is the best place we have ever stayed. The location is perfect; 10 minutes to DuPont and 10 minutes to Brevard. All of the rooms are beautifully furnished without any clutter and the kitchen has everything you need. Every detail has been thought of including the garage where there were bike stands and tools available. The Master bed was super comfy, the other beds were fine. There were plenty of linens and everything felt new and fresh. We will definitely be staying here again.
