We had a great time during our stay at this cabin for our wedding anniversary. The property is close enough to downtown Brevard for dinner or anything you may need but in a setting that feels far enough away to unwind. Plenty of outdoor activities close by as well. Phyllis was great in communications before and during our stay which made the process extremely easy. We’ll definitely be back and will recommend this cabin to others looking for a stay in the area.
Had a few cobweb issues(kitchen seating counter from wall to under where chair stools sit and the back porch door upper frame) and suggestion would be to get new throw rugs(bath mats) kitchen towels, pot holders and perhaps a better set of kitchen “equipment”. Perhaps most come and don’t cook…but just even having a coffee scoop would help. So I’d suggest bring your own basics that you would regularly at your own home. We used the stovetop, oven, micro and coffeemaker. Has a blender and hand mixer…but did not use. Knives need replaced or definitely sharpened. AGAIN, it’s because we are a cooking family. Just give me a big pot, fry/sauté pan and the matching lids…which was able to make use(they are there). Brought my own cleaning stuff and salt/sugar/etc…so it worked. Yes, I’m probably a bit pickier than typical cabin renter. Cabin itself is a lovely unit.
The cabin was very clean and cute. It was great for us to visit with our son at Brevard college and watch him play baseball. Close proximity to DuPont state park and other activities.
This house belongs in a magazine! The owners certainly have an eye for detail. Not only was the home carefully designed and built as a mountain retreat, the furnishings were obviously hand picked. This gives it a nostalgic, rustic decor, adding to the overall experience. The pictures don’t do it justice!

About the host
Hosted by Phyllis Goff
Mark Goff, Owner, builder, contractor & owner of Goff Construction, built this cabin. Phyllis Goff, owner, real estate broker, designed, decorated and manages this property. We have been in the area almost 40 years, and are so thankful to live here and love sharing it with the many visitors we have had at Laurel Haven.
Why they chose this property
The beauty. Nature surrounds and abounds. The peace. The proximity to so many activities. It is central to Dupont State Forest and Pisgah National Forests. Biltmore House is only 1 hour away.
What makes this property unique
We have tried to bring the outside inside. We have used many reclaimed objects, like the 100 year old wormy chestnut, the claw foot tub, antique sinks in both bathrooms. The laurel handrail and stone fireplace are great focal points in our cabin.
