"Magical!"

by Jessica

11/03/2022

The cabins at Deerwood and the property in general is magical! The Otter cabin is very comfortable, clean and inviting. The property is stunning, I particularly love the bamboo forest and all the ponds and that they allow dogs! I absolutely loved walking the grounds and trails with my dog, especially through the zen like bamboo forest!

We loved staying here! The fall colors were amazing, the house was clean and comfortable. Loved the fireplace! Host was very friendly and accessible! We were honestly so sad to leave. We hope to be back again!

"Had the Best Time"

by Ryan

Had the best time at the Otter Cabin! The kids loved swimming in the pond, kayaking, canoeing, walking the trails and discovering the fishing camp and hidden benches along the way. The entire place was beautiful and well maintained. We will definitely be back this fall!

"Didn't Want to Leave"

by Molly

My family absolutely enjoyed our stay and didn’t want to leave. This location is so much more than a place to rest your head, it is a destination! I hope to make this a yearly tradition for our family. Thank you for such a great experience.

"Excellent and Very Well Done"

by Matt

02/02/2022

The cabin was excellent and very well done. The cabin sits on a huge property with a few other cabins scattered about. The cabin itself was the perfect size for our family of four and could’ve easily accommodated six guests. The property is amazing, and I only wish we had more time to explore. Tons of trails, a few ponds and the river are all easily accessible. We met owners Tim and Scott during our stay, and both were friendly and out of their way helpful. We will definitely be back when visiting the Brevard/Pisgah area.

"Only Regret is Not Staying Longer"

by Corey

11/04/2021

Perfect place for a getaway! We stayed here for a long weekend and our only regret is not staying longer. The cabin is tastefully decorated and my girlfriend loved how cozy it felt. The beds are super comfortable and so is the couch. Fireplace makes for a nice night in. There is plenty of space for a group of people although it was only the 2 of us. Perfect location. A quick drive into restaurants and not far from Pisgah or DuPont. You feel as though you’re in the country which we both loved but you’re super close to everything. We will return for sure!

"Can't Recommend This Place Enough"

by Jeni

10/21/2021

This place is AMAZING and was the perfect cabin for our family. The grounds are incredibly peaceful and just perfect. Walk the trails, fish in a canoe in a pond, chill on the dock and even see some wild deer! We travel to Brevard regularly and this was by far our favorite place. We highly recommend it in every way! The owners are so friendly and helpful. And it’s in the perfect location too. Can’t not recommend this place enough!! We will definitely be back.

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.
