About Babbling Brook cottage:
The cascading stream and waterfall view make this cottage the perfect retreat.
The cottage overlooks a beautiful stream cascading down the mountain. The water cascades down the waterfall then down the brook over moss covered rocks, creating wonderful sounds of rushing water as it flows behind the cottage. A gas log stove will keep you warm on a brisk fall evening or winter day. Cable TV and a Video Library will make your stay enjoyable.

Don't let the lower rates fool you. We have very NICE accommodations, refreshingly cleanly kept and most of our guests turn into repeat guests! Many have been coming for many years/several times a year and will for generations to come!

The master bedroom has a glass door that opens onto the covered
porch perched above the brook. You can see the waterfall from this covered porch/open deck combo and it's perfect for watching the squirrels play or birds sing.

*The living room has a warm cozy feel that makes you feel that you are at your own personal home away from home. Babbling Brook cottage is filled with handcrafted furnishings that will make your stay enchanting.

2 Comfy bedrooms - 2 full baths - full kitchen & laundry area - sleeps 4.
The Living room has an enchanting gas fire that will warm you on the cool nights.

This cottage has three covered porches/decks where you can entertain, cook out on the grill, or just sit back and enjoy the day.

YOU JUST WON'T BE ABLE TO FIND A BETTER LOCATION TO STAY - FOR WATERFALLS, SIGHT-SEEING, HIKING, ETC! We are in the scenic valley just east of town. No crowds! Drive past the pastures that flank the river into a wonderful area of peace and contentment.

Time to:
Brevard 10-15 minutes
Hendersonville 15-20 minutes

Linens, towels/washcloths, dish and laundry soap, & paper products are provided

********We pride ourselves on having a very clean cottage*********
We hope you'll like it!

A week of cycling
This was a great week here. Nicely secluded but still close to Brevard. Hot tub was great after a 50 mile cycle ride. Having the basics there such as toilet paper etc was nicely appreciated. We would not hesitate to stay again.

Fantastic girls trip!
My friend and I stayed for a weekend to celebrate my birthday and the cabin was absolutely perfect! Great location and the setting was so relaxing. We enjoyed sitting on the porches and most of all the hot tub while we listened to the babbling creek. The cabin was clean and well stocked with easy check in and out procedures. They even had some puzzles in the closet that we had a blast putting together. Would absolutely recommend the cabin to anyone thinking of booking. You will not be disappointed!

Babbling Brook
We enjoyed our stay at the Babbling Brook Cottage. The 3 outdoor spaces and the hot tub are especially nice. You truly hear the babbling brook from the back outdoor deck. Really liked the location since it is close to Dupont State Forest.

Perfect Getaway
Went for a long weekend getaway and this place did not disappoint. The cottage was very clean and in a nice quiet location. We loved sitting on the deck outside the bedroom listening to the water going down the stream. Highly recommend!!!

Quiet Hideaway
This cabin was the perfect getaway! I was a little surprised at how near it was to other cabins, but the cabins are perfectly positioned for privacy and beautiful scenic views. My stay was very quiet and secluded! The cabin was very clean and in a beautiful setting. There are 3 porches (!!) where you can sit and listen to the babbling brook or have a soak in the hot tub. Inside, I found everything I needed to cook or relax. A wonderful space!
