About this property

8 acres of privacy , stream and waterfall, Dupont, pets welcome.

  • Welcome to Happy Acres! This beautiful and well-maintained cabin sits on a knoll overlooking a nice stream with a pleasant waterfall. The surrounding grounds are landscaped with native plants and there are many places to sit and enjoy the surroundings. This property is surrounded by a forest of old growth deciduous trees--it will show spectacular fall color that you can enjoy from your porch.
    The master bedroom is on the main floor with a private bathroom. Upstairs are two comfortable bedrooms, one with a queen-size bed and one with a full-size bed, that share a full bathroom. There is additional sleeping on the trundle day bed in the loft area that opens to a queen-size bed.
    The wood accents and some of the furnishings and flooring were made from trees that grew on the property!
    The property adjoins the Headwaters State Forest. This state forest is part of a project intended to extend from Table Rock in South Carolina through Caeser's Head, Dupont and Gorges State Parks. Lots of room for exploring, biking and hiking. Enjoy wading in the stream or just relaxing in the nearby swing. No need to leave the property--plenty of wildlife and beautiful surroundings to appreciate.
    But when you are ready to explore the area, you will find that we are at the center of great things to do! Dupont State Forest with its magnificent waterfalls, horse, biking and hiking trails is just down the road. Brevard is only about 8 miles away with shopping, arts and crafts, and great restaurants! Go the other direction and enjoy the day in Hendersonville, or travel a bit farther to Asheville. Other parks in the vicinity include Pisgah National Forest, Gorges State Park, Caesar's Head, and Headwaters State Recreation Area--all the hiking you want with lots of scenic waterfalls and overlooks. Access the Blue Ridge Parkway and take in some spectacular scenery. Be sure to go and see the Pretty Place Chapel while you are here, or walk to the top of Sassafras Mountain, the highest peak in South Carolina; both only a short drive from the house. Happy Acres is just a few miles from the East Fork of the French Broad River--known for excellent trout fishing!

We had a wonderful and relaxing Thanksgiving at this beautiful home! The setting was quiet and private, and the sound of the stream and waterfall was perfect for porch-sitting. The kitchen had everything we needed to cook a delicious Thanksgiving meal. We absolutely would stay again!

Great home and location

This was our second long weekend at this totally private home in the woods. The home is well cared for and has all of the comforts of home. The kitchen has everything you would need to fix meals or you can eat at a variety of restaurants in Brevard about 10 miles away. There are lots of trails and waterfalls within a 15-30 minute drive. The owner is great with communication. We couldn't be more pleased with our experience and will definitely be back.

Fantastic stay!

Happy Acres is a wonderful property with all the amenities you need and is located in the most beautiful setting. It's so peaceful and we enjoyed both porches in the mornings and evenings. The stream with the little waterfall in the "backyard" added just the relaxation we were looking for. Everything about this stay went smooth and we would definitely stay here again, if we come back to this area.

The Cooper Family of Myrtle Beach, SC

We are 3 generations from Myrtle Beach, SC and we all live within 3 miles of the Atlantic. We watched weather reports all week about Tropical Storm Debby, and though it came ashore Thursday morning with torrential rains, we left anyway! 7 hours later, we arrived at the most beautiful, serene house in the mountains! Pure paradise for 3 days and we're already planning a longer stay--same location-- next year!

Family Getaway

The home was clean, comfortable and well appointed. The property was picturesque. Listening to the waterfall from the back porch was relaxing. Attention has been paid towards the details of comfort in this home from the rocking chairs on the back porch to the fire pit with wood stashed in a dry location. This was a perfect location to feel alone in the woods and also Be close to town and great restaurants. And there are so many biking and hiking trails near by, along with waterfalls and swimming holes. Our family found it to be a lovely vacation spot! Thanks for helping us build fun memories.

Happy Acres = Happy Family

Location, location, location! This could say it all but then I’d miss telling about all the additional reasons this is paradise. The back porch was our favorite spot to read, listen to the brook. The falling leaves sounded like rain but looked like snow. The air was fresh and the autumn color dazzling. Loved the quiet seclusion but enjoyed the quick drive to Brevard and other special places/things to do. Can’t wait to go back in 2024.

Loved It So Much!

My family and I had the best time this weekend. We were tucked in, surrounded by nature, and it was so peaceful. The house was great and well stocked with everything we needed. The details and directions to get to the home were very well detailed, which was super nice. We had no problem finding it. We were also given suggestions for grocery stores, restaurants and things to do. There was plenty of room, inside and out for our dogs to play. We loved it and we look forward to staying here again soon!

Great location

Great quiet location nestled in the woods. Provided easy access (about 20 minute drive) to DuPont, Brevard, and edge of Pisgah for some hiking and exploring! The house is very well stocked with everything you need and plenty of room for a large group, though still great for me and my dog! Boat provided extra instructions on how to get to the house and tips for exploring the area! It does have a wood fire place, so be prepared for a rustic smell, but I got used to it pretty quickly. Never found the path to the stream, but still nice to listen to from the back porch!

This property is secluded and quiet. It is a mountain property surrounded by trees. The house is a great place to gather with family because it has an open living space. The bedrooms, however, are all quite private. The 2.5 bathrooms are clean and well placed. We turned the dining room into a game room and we really enjoyed the space. The porches offer fantastic views and a lot more space. We also enjoyed the firepit and fire wood. The house is only ten miles from Brevard, but it feels isolated. We enjoyed the location. It was close to many beautiful parks.The driveway is long and hilly. Our van handled it fine, but a low profile vehicle like a Chrysler 300 ot Tesla might struggle. Also, this property is not really setup for anyone with mobility issues. It is hilly and has many steps.This property gifted us a week of peace and relaxation. What a gift.
