“Maple Cottage was everything we could have ever asked for – closeness to downtown Brevard, availability of restaurants and closeness to some of the best riding trails in the area and spectacular waterfalls! Everything about it was nothing but quality! It’s a beautiful home with beautiful views. Nothing was left out and no corners were cut. We stayed 8 nights and I could have stayed 8 more! We highly recommend this property!” – Vince & Michelle, September 2017

We had a great time. Chinquapin was perfect, we especially enjoyed the large screened porch with the great mountain view. And on a cool evening we laid a wood fire in the living room fireplace. Your fire starters work great with the dried wood. We bought a shower chair with us for my wife and it worked great in your handy shower with both a handheld and an overhead shower. he cabin is ideally located for access to Dupont State Forest and 276 up to Pisgah on the BRP. We even saw a White Squirrel in the wild.” – Bill, May 2017
