We would highly recommend staying here. We traveled with 2 dogs and it was an ideal location. The cabin was cozy and the property was very relaxing and peaceful. It isn’t too far from downtown Brevard.

I could gush for hours about the beauty of Deerwoode Reserve!! My boyfriend and I plus our two dogs went for the 4th of July weekend. We stayed in the cutest little river cabin that was clean, tidy, and had everything you needed for a weekend away. Marc and I were left with our jaws on the ground one night when we walked into the fields at dark and saw the most spectacular firefly show either of us had ever seen. We thought it was fake! Our dogs were so happy to have the wide open space to run around as well as all the water to swim. We’re planning to try to get married on the grounds, we loved it that much ☺️ Thank you so much!! We’ll absolutely be back.

We absolutely loved our stay at the River Cabin. We were a few steps away from the French Broad River and a quick drive to downtown Brevard. We came to Brevard to mountain bike in DuPont and Pisgah. It was a quick drive to both parks. The sunset behind the mountains was beautiful and the fireflies flickering across their fields and trees made the property enchanting. We walked on their trails with our pup every day and enjoyed a morning canoe ride. We hope to visit again for a relaxing vacation and recommend the River Cabin to anyone looking for a little nature.

The Most Fun Property

This was probably the most fun property we've stayed at for awhile. The river, lakes, trails etc were fun to explore. The firepit was a sweet thought too. The location was close to Brevard and so many waterfalls too. We hope to visit again soon.

Such a Special Place

Deerwoode Reserve is such a special place -- the property is beautiful and so peaceful! The French Broad flowed right behind our aptly named River Cabin. The cabin itself was adorable and cozy and had everything we needed for a long weekend of fun in Brevard! The property has hiking trails, which were great for us to exercise our dog and there is even a bamboo forest to explore! Can't say enough good things about this place and it is just 5 minutes from downtown. We will be staying here again for sure!

Thoroughly Enjoyable!

The River Cabin at the Deerwood Preserve was thoroughly enjoyable for me, my wife and our 2 dogs! As the description says it is a small cabin with a comfortable king bed, a small table and 2 chairs. The toaster oven and microwave meet our morning meal needs and with so many breweries and restaurants nearby lunch and dinner were taken care of! What makes this cabin special is one, the preserve itself. Even after several 7+ mile hikes in the Dupont Forest, I still enjoyed taking long strolls with my dogs along the French Broad River, the ponds and woods that make up the Preserve. Secondly, the cabin sits right above the river, and even though we had some evening rain and t-storms, sitting on the back porch, listening to the rain through the trees and and dancing off the river, while enjoying a nice bourbon was quite relaxing!

Look Forward to Returning

We spent four nights at the River Cabin and thoroughly enjoyed it and look forward to returning in the future. Its location is perfect: easy access to downtown and the Pisgah Forest, yet so private and serene. We loved hiking the trails on the property and it was great for taking our dog along. Nice and ample linens were provided and a comfortable bed made for restful nights. Loved sitting on the back porch in the morning drinking coffee and watching the fireflies and the French Broad River in the evening.
