Stay & Play at Deerwoode Reserve

You don’t have to leave Deerwoode to enjoy a beautiful fall day.

Our 175-acre nature preserve gives you room to explore, relax, and experience the mountains at your own pace. Take a walk along wooded trails surrounded by changing leaves, spend a quiet morning fishing, explore the property, or simply sit outside your cabin with a cup of coffee and nowhere you need to be.

When the temperature drops in the evening, head back to your cabin and light your private fire pit. Firewood is always complimentary, so you can enjoy a cozy fire every night of your stay.

Spend your days exploring and your evenings unwinding.

At Deerwoode, some of the best parts of your fall getaway are right outside your cabin door.

Cabins at Deerwoode Reserve

The leaves change quickly in the mountains. One weekend can look completely different from the next — from the first hints of color in early fall to the deep reds, oranges, and golds of peak foliage and the peaceful late-fall days that follow.

Come experience it from your own cabin at Deerwoode Reserve.

Explore Brevard during the day, and come home to the quiet. Light a fire, make some s’mores,  and enjoy fall the way it was meant to be experienced.
