This is the 2nd time we've stayed on the property, first at this house. We had a great time exploring the property with the kids and they especially loved the bamboo forest. House was as described, very clean with everything we needed to make it an enjoyable stay. I'm worried that this place is going to blow up and it will be very difficult to book again (and expensive). I recommend this house and the property.

Absolutely loved our visit to Deerwoode Reserve. What an amazing space to unwind and enjoy the mountains! We loved everything about our stay. The directions and recommendations prior to the stay were very helpful for planning with two families. The bedrooms were perfect and we all loved the cabin feel. The girls enjoyed staying all together in the bunk room. The kitchen had everything we needed for meal prep. The best part of the place is the 175 acres for exploration and play. Thankful that the kids got to be kids and unplug from devices. They kayaked and explored and swang for hours! We did several of the hiking trails and had nice quiet woods to ourselves.
Deerwoode Reserve is only an hour away from the Blue Ridge Parkway and close to the conveniences of Brevard’s downtown. We highly recommend it and plan to return again to make an annual trip!

Beautiful log cabin! Close to town but felt like you were in the country. Plenty to do on the property. Perfect for family gatherings. Lots of other cabins for rent on property. Hosts were active on property but not intrusive. Just keeping everything nice. Will definitely be back! Ty

This place beat all of my expectations, the property was so nice that the kids never wanted to leave. Perfect for a large family or 2 families. Nice seeing deer in the back by the lake in the morning and still only 5min from town...amazing!

JUDGE JAMES A. FORSYTHE JR FAMILY:

Judge Forsythe was born 11/26/1853. He was married to Julia Nathalie, who was born 5/14/1860, and they married 5/14/1877. They moved into the house and added a wing to it. They had one son and two daughters. James A. Forsythe Jr. (1882 – 1957), Margaret Elizabeth ( 4/21/1885 – 9/16/1886) and Ellen Harllee Forsythe Vermilye (11/4/1888 – 1/24/1936). Julia died 5/14/1923 and Judge Forsythe died in 1925. They are all buried in the Gillispie Cemetery in Brevard. Elizabeth was originally buried on the property but because of the grave being washed by rains, was later transferred to Gillispie Cemetery. There are stories and accounts of baby ghost Elizabeth haunting the Big Log Cabin, which was built on the site of the original homestead.

THE MAYES (Cont.)

In 1969, the Mayes moved into the Otter Cabin, originally built in 1940. It was formerly the camp infirmary and was also known as the Gate House. Bill built the deck and closed in the screen porch where the large brick cooking fireplace is located. During the time they lived there, they tore down the old original homesite that had fallen into such disrepair and decided to build a new log home on the same basement foundation, now called the Big Log Cabin. 

ROBERT J. HUSSEY / CAMP DEERWOODE FOR GIRLS:

When Mr. Hussey purchased the property in 1935, the camp was transformed from a boys camp into a camp for girls. It was operated by Mr. and Mrs. George Mason Swift. Mrs. Swift had previously operated a camp, called Camp Dellwood, and in an effort to continue to use the same camp songs, they re-named it to Camp Deerwoode. At this time camp property was comprised of 250 acres featuring horseback riding, including all day and overnight horseback trips. The girls played polo, learned archery and riflery, and had classes in swimming and canoeing, as well as tennis and golf. Other elective courses offered at camp were dancing, dramatics, musical comedy, and musical instruments and nightly shows were performed in The Big Room. The craft building was a popular place and described as the heart of the camp, featuring eight large floor looms with flying shuttles. Other craft projects consisted of silver craft, pottery and leather craft. The camp season ran from July 1 – August 26 and cost $300.
