Coyote Lodge is the largest and most grand cabin on the Deerwoode Reserve property. Soaring two stories tall, Coyote Lodge has great room, with an impressive stacked-stone wood-burning fireplace adorned by original wooden canoes from when this property operated as a summer camp in the 1930s. The living room, dining area, and kitchen share the open floor plan in the center of the cabin.

Four private bedrooms, two upstairs and two downstairs, each have their own private bathroom. Kitchen remodeled with reclaimed wood from original camp cabins, new granite top, and complete with full-size oven/range, side by side refrigerator, toaster, drip coffee pot, and microwave. The kitchen is stocked with cookware, dishes, silverware, cups, utensils, gadgets, and spices. A custom wood bar top and four picnic-style tables offer plenty of seating. Balcony upstairs provides additional gathering and quiet spaces for card games or reading. The Deer Room has two queen beds and bunk beds (sleeps 6), while the other three rooms – Bull, Panther, and Fox – each have a king bed and bunk bed (each sleeps 4).

Comfortable seating in the living room with three leather sofas and four big boy chairs and ottomans offers plenty of room to spread out. There’s one TV in the living room and all 4 bedrooms. Bedrooms have electric heaters and window a/c, and bathrooms have heaters. Spend time relaxing on the porch swings and rocking chairs on the front covered porch. Second-story rooms also have balcony access.

Views of the ponds and meadow with trees and mountains in the background provide a breathtaking, natural setting where you may find some wildlife passing through. Outside has lawn space for games, a private charcoal grill, and 3 picnic tables perfect for a cookout. Close to the Swimming Hole, walking trails, and the big lake for fishing and kayaking. Gather around the large community firepit for some storytelling and making smores. Bring your extended family or vacation with your friends in the Coyote Lodge for an experience like no other and make memories that will last a lifetime!

REVIEWS

“Incredible getaway just outside of Brevard. We had a group of 16 and were easily accommodated in the lodge. Had a blast roaming the 175 acres, the bamboo forest (yes you read that right), and hanging in the house on the porch stargazing. Was only 20-30 minutes from a list of waterfalls, and was able to find a swimming hole at the base of High Falls, which made for an incredible day. Would highly recommend staying on this property.”

“This was the *perfect* stay for our large group! We stayed in Coyote Lodge and absolutely adored it. The lodge was charming, comfortable, well-stocked, well-decorated, and delightfully rustic. The property was spectacular, with many miles of trails and of course the beautiful French Broad River. Lastly, our hosts were so helpful throughout the entire weekend! I hope to come back and stay again. Thank you, Dionne and Scott!”

*Carol was the one who attended Camp Deerwoode for Girls in the 1950’s* Favorite memory: Family discussion in two’s and three’s in the Lodge, on the porch, taking hikes, exploring the roads with Scott as driver, remembering old camp experiences (I was a camper 70 years ago! Lots of change!) Saw frogs, deer, heron, dragonflies, hawks, one small snake, fish, turtle, geese…white squirrels. We went on the Brevard walking tour, tax office, toy store, library, etc. Sliding Rock and all over Deerwoode, especially the lake and Bamboo Forest.

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.
