The unit was very clean and just the right size for 2 people. It was close to downtown and Pisgah but felt like you miles away from everything. Will return next year.
The cabins are super thoughtful in their design and come with a fully stocked kitchen, mud room, bike washing station, etc. While the cabins are close together they are positioned perfectly to make it feel like you're alone and the right side of each porch has a giant privacy wall which makes time on the big open porch also feel very private.
I really liked the layout of this place. The restroom sink, shower, and toilet are all in separate rooms. The washer and dryer were great to have. Very nice great room with kitchen, dining area, and living area. Nice appliances and cookware. We loved our evenings on the deck.
We visit the area often and hike in the Pisgah Forrest where my husband has hiked since he was a kid when he grew up there. This location was GREAT. The unit is cute and impeccably clean. I honestly think it was the nicest and most comfortable rental stay bed I have ever slept in as well. It is probably due to just reopening after COVID closure, but we were missing garbage bags in the unit and the courtesy coffee cream on the table was clotted. Apart from that, the unit is well appointed and easy to settle into. There is even a hammock to use which we enjoyed daily after long hikes. The wifi is excellent and we brought our own firestick to use in the evenings to watch movies in the cozy living room. We will definitely be back! My only disappointment was my view overlooking the unit directly below me which limited our privacy slightly. Based on my exploration of the area, I believe only a couple of units have this. It is a minor complaint because the place is super cute.
At Pilot Cove we are passionate about connecting our guests with the great outdoors and a premier lodging experience. Its rare to find accommodations that offer the best of both worlds - this is exactly what you will find at Pilot Cove on our 64 acre property directly bordering Pisgah National Forest. Accommodations include architect designed modern cabins with luxury finishes and custom artwork throughout. We also have plans for a 'glampground' in the works, stay tuned for updates on our progress!
Pilot Cove is not your typical VRBO! Encompassing 64 forested acres, Pilot Cove directly borders Pisgah National Forest at the Highway 276 gateway. No other accommodations get you closer to the trails unless you are camping in the forest. Bike directly from your accommodations to trails in Pisgah National Forest, or enjoy our trails on site open to both hiking and biking. Luxury accommodations ensure you rest well. Shopping, dining, and breweries in downtown Brevard are a short 5 minute drive away. Both the Biltmore Estate and the acclaimed city of Asheville are 45 minutes away. Also 10 restaurants, 2 bike shops, a brewery, a taproom, Bi-Lo grocery, and Wal Mart are all located within walking distance. Pilot Cove offers a vacation experience like no other!
Each modern cabin is architect designed to interact with nature while preserving guest privacy. Nothing like these exist in Western North Carolina! Fully appointed kitchens feature cherry cabinetry, rainforest green granite, and full sized stainless appliances. Each cabin features large covered back deck overlooking the forest, giving the feeling of a treehouse. Bathrooms are designed for private shower room and private water closet, allowing for multiple users at once. Custom artwork and furniture can be found throughout each cabin. Stackable washer / dryer is included in each mudroom entry.
