Brevard, North Carolina
Welcome to “Awesomeness Outpost” - your private mountain retreat with long range views, a peaceful outdoor area, and a cabin atmosphere located in southwestern North Carolina. If you’re looking for vintage cabin charm just minutes away from world class mountain biking, hiking, waterfalls, golf, trout fishing, and quaint downtown Brevard, then this is it!
This home has 3 bedrooms, 2.5 bathrooms, sleeps 6 (1 King, 1 Queen, 2 Twins), and is located in the gated resort community of Connestee Falls. Within 1 mile of the cabin, you can access a beautiful mountain golf course, clubhouse with two restaurants, four non-motorized lakes perfect for kayaking & fishing, olympic-sized heated pool (during pool season), tennis, pickleball, 13 miles of hiking trails, and a wellness center.
The cabin includes an inviting main level with updated kitchen and wood stove (new stove installed in May 2021), open loft with mountain views, spacious casual basement with a bar, and a private outdoor area with fire pit, two decks, and a charcoal grill. The king and queen bedrooms are located on the main floor along with a full bath and washer/dryer. The open loft features two twin beds, half bath, and desk. The basement includes a flat screen smart TV with casual living area, full bathroom and plenty of space for temporary bedding if bringing additional guests.
**IMPORTANT NOTE** the basement steps are steep so please keep this in mind if you have mobility issues; there is a hand rail and the stairs have carpet on them; also the basement is significantly cooler than the rest of the house; we have blankets and a heater to keep you warm during cooler months and its a perfect hangout during warmer months. We do not want this to affect our reviews or ratings.
Additionally, this cabin is mountain biker friendly and includes a workshop containing all the tools needed to wash or repair your ride after a long day shredding the local trails (bike wash station coming soon!).
You’ll be minutes away from DuPont State Forest, Pisgah National Forest, Caesar’s Head State Park, and the Blue Ridge Parkway. Downtown Brevard is a short drive away with restaurants, shops, breweries, festivals, and more. Downtown Asheville and the Biltmore Estate are within an hour drive.
Community amenities included at no additional fee - clubhouse access, lake, pool, tennis, pickleball, and hiking (golf and wellness center usage fees required). The rental fee also includes 2 stand up paddle boards and two kayaks that can be accessed from the lake located within a mile of the house.
Cabin amenities include free high-speed wifi, HD smart television with basic cable channels, wood stove, charcoal grill, washer/dryer, linens/towels, fire pit (will restrict use if we have fire danger conditions or drought), hammock, and more!
Because there is no cell service we have a house phone with unlimited long distance calling; our internet service is very fast; we recommend turning on WiFi calling so you can still receive calls. Again, we do not want the lack of cell service to affect our ratings and reviews, so please take this into consideration when booking our house; the internet is very fast and will support device streaming and video calls.
The cabin's driveway is flat, but narrow ; we can fit up to 3 cars but not side by side. The driveway is gravel and not paved.
Our house is located on a mountain community; there are a lot of hills (some very steep) and the street where our house is located is not suited for walking/jogging; we have walking paths and trails for these activities but one will have to drive to get to these areas.
We have been coming back for four years now. And it is always amazing. We come at Christmas and the house is wonderfully decorated. We spent six days hiking ,reading by the fire and exploring the town. The owners are amazing and always go the extra mile. Can’t wait to return. Hoping to try the spring or summer.
Stayed for a few days over Christmas. House was clean and comfy. The basement looks newly renovated and was a perfect spot to watch football and movies while enjoying some board games. We really appreciated the fully decorated Christmas tree since we were away from home. Great touch!
The cabin is a perfect mountain retreat with beautiful views, on property hikes to fabulous waterfalls, and close proximity to quaint downtown Brevard. The hosts are amazing and made communication easy. I would give more stars if I could!
The pictures of this home do not do it justice. When we walked in to the home, we immediately felt warm and cozy, and away from all of the hustle and bustle of busy every day life. The charm of this home is unmatched to any rental we have stayed in. The kids loved the upstairs and stuffed animals and even a telescope! They also loved being able to go to the basement and play games, do puzzles, and swing on the outdoor hammock. At night time, we roasted marshmallows and listen to music by the fire. The community is gorgeous, we got to play tennis and did several hikes. we would buy this home if we could! Thanks for the wonderful stay!
Our second time in Connestee Falls and first time at Awesomeness did not disappoint. Our family of five enjoyed the lodge type feel and the modern amenities offered to help make us feel at home. The multiple level decks offered great space for book reading and relaxation overlooking the much appreciated panarama. Added bonus are access to the developments resources including the owners kayak/SUP and pool time. Plenty to do in the area within reasonable driving distance of cool towns of Brevard and Hendersonville and only 40 minutes from Asheville. Make sure your vehicle is in good shape to handle the inclines! Thanks Carters for being super responsive prior and during our stay and we hope to one day return again!
Although it’s remote, it’s not too remote. The cabin has all that we needed. Golf course is great. Has a bushwood feel!
We were visiting friends that live in the community and this house had everything we needed to be comfortable. The location was beautiful with plenty of things to do in the community. The kids really enjoyed swimming, pickle ball and particular hiking in the area.
The house was perfect for our family. Super cozy house! They have books and game, the basement is great for the adults to hangout. Highly recommend the house! Thank you for having us!
We had an amazing time. Went up for Christmas Eve and Christmas, it was a perfect way to spend the holidays
The drive through the forested Connestee Falls neighborhood was splendid in its Fall colors! So scenic, with hiking trails, waterfalls, parks, lakes, and a golf course, that you never want to leave. We even spotted a few of the famous white squirrels! The cabin was quaint and furnished with everything you need for a comfortable, enjoyable stay, including a fantastic and uninterrupted view of forest and mountains.
This was the perfect property for our family getaway. We had extended family meet us and it was easy to get to. We hiked to 12 waterfalls in the area and only drove about 10-15 minutes to reach the parks. The added bonus are the trails in the development. We will definitely be looking to return as we had such a great time at the site and in the surrounding area.
We loved the house so much. The fire pit area is such a relaxing place to unwind at the end of the day. The interior is very genuine mountain house feeling. All around wonderful place to vacation
Had a pleasant stay in a nice neighborhood with a great view.
We totally enjoyed staying at the house and loved the community. The house was clean and everything worked perfectly. I enjoyed the quiet neighbors and the peace and tranquillity. We used the kayak and a paddle board several times at the lake which was my favorite activity and the lake swimming was fun. We would stay there again for sure. The owners were very helpful when we had questions about the house.
Our family thoroughly enjoyed this home away from home after we picked up our middle child from camp. It was a perfect amount of room for our family of 5. Communication with the owners was wonderful. This rental had everything we needed and then some. We appreciated the thoughtful details that seemed to go into the decor and even the kayaks had decals to go with the house! The Connastee Falls community is beautiful. We do think some improvements can be made to the trail maps (or maybe we need better navigational skills!!!) As for the property, we agree with our son who wants us to “rent this place every time we come to the mountains!!!”
The cabin is very clean and extremely well stocked for an extended stay. Main floor is cozy while downstairs offers a nice escape for kids and games. Outside the view is gorgeous and the firepit area offers a nice place to unwind after dark. What's even better than the cabin is the Connestee neighborhood - it's full of great activities... fishing, boating, hiking, golf, tennis, pickleball. Great place to take the active family!
Everything was as advertised. Great location for hiking and tracking down waterfalls.
We have been wanting to visit Connestee Falls for some time and it did not disappoint. The community has so much to do. We especially loved the lake with the paddle boards. The house worked for us and the views off the deck made for a nice ending to each day.
FANTASTIC. Perfect location for parents dropping their kids off at camp. Dogs and people enjoyed everything about this place - convenient, comfortable, well-appointed, great neighborhood amenities. 11/10 or whatever the highest possible score is. Just perfect, will stay here again at every possible opportunity.
This was our second stay at the property. It was perfect! Clean, quiet, relaxing. Very easy check in / out. We can’t wait to return. The porch is wonderful for relaxing.
