A Gem!

We had a great stay here. The house is comfortable and cozy and the hosts are wonderful. Perfect spot for a getaway. Close enough to Brevard and nearby hiking spots, yet also set apart enough to enjoy quiet mountain vibes. Highly recommend!

Second time’s a charm!

This is the second time we have been to this cottage. It was just as we remembered! We had such a great and relaxing time. And there are tons of pamphlets and brochures on the area which are extremely helpful if you aren’t familiar with the area. One of things I must say is the highlight of our trip each time is the twisty, winding drive into town! After a long day of waterfall hiking Gear Down Cottage is just the place to relax! Thank you again for being such wonderful hosts.

Perfect Mountain Retreat

We really enjoyed our stay at the cottage! The location was perfect for hiking and going into Brevard for dinner and such. The cottage itself was very nice and it was clear that the hosts put a lot of thought into making it a nice vacation home. I really appreciated that they had books and games available. There were also bottles of shampoo, conditioner, and body wash in the shower. These were little touches that were unexpected, but very nice. The kitchen was clean and well-stocked with basic appliances.

Home away from home

It was our first time to Brevard, NC and absolutely loved our stay. Marty was responsive and very helpful. The home had everything we needed and we thoroughly enjoyed the quiet. My daughter (12) and her friend (11) especially loved exploring the two streams on the property. We will definitely be back!

About the host

Hosted by Martin or Jill Whalen.

Marty and Jill met in Colorado where Marty is from. Jill is from Charlotte and happy to be back in her mountains. We enjoy outdoor activities, live music, and spending time with friends and family.

Why they chose this property

We purchased the land with the goal of providing lodging for bikers and hikers. We saw great potential in the abandoned and neglected property. We are thrilled with the results.

What makes this property unique

We love the location. We're close enough to get into town easily yet far enough out to have lots of peace and quiet. There's nothing better than sitting on the porch enjoying the sound of running water and country living.
