"A cute little place but definitely do not count on being able to use the sleeper sofa..."

6.0

I absolutely loved the location and the place itself was adorable! I appreciated that it was pet friendly and came with privacy. The deck was AWESOME! We only stayed one night to attend Brevard College baseball games, but it was a convenient location for sure.

The price did not reflect the quality of the stay. With the dogs, the one bedroom with sleeper was over $500. The kitchen faucet was coming off and difficult to use. All hand soap was watered down. The sleeper sofa was impossible to sleep on due to discomfort and the only bedding was one flat sheet and lightweight throw blankets. It was an adorable place but if you are going to advertise it has a sleeper sofa, you really need to supply bedding and something you can actually sleep on. I had to sleep sitting up on the chaise section so my mom would be able to have the bed and the bedding to stay warm. For the cost you can stay somewhere with more amenities.

"Great place to stay if you don't want to camp in Pisgah. Very romantic."

8.0

The location was great, right at Pisgah's gate. 10 minutes to 2 or 3 breweries. Beautiful cabin with great views. Very comfy bed. Great bathroom.

Could not quite get the ac/heat unit working to warm up the unit. I was ok, just snuggled more. The flood was a little sandy feeling.

"Delightful and comfy modern cabins"

10.0

We booked Pilot Cove as a last-minute, emergency place to stay after spending the previous night at a VRBO rental that didn’t work out. Our bar was low, but Pilot Cove would have cleared any bar. The cabin was perfect, clean and comfortable and perfectly located adjacent to Pisgah National Forest. We enjoyed it so much we started wondering what it would take to build an identical unit on our land in upstate New York.

"Overall AMAZING Stay"

10.0

Absolutely a great place to host my wedding reception and family. We hosted extended family in the cabins and loved that it gave privacy yet community when wanted. Syl was on sight and amazing at addressing any needs of our group! The amphitheater was beautiful come nightfall for the reception and the forest was a perfect place to call home for about a week! Everyone only said good things in our party about this venue/stay! Will be coming back!

Everything you need in the 1 bedroom including kitchen ware, washer/dryer, bike cleaning station, shower amenities. It had a great deck w/ chairs & hammock that looks into woods, not much view. There is no staff, it’s self check in w/ coded door lock timed making it very easy. My only complaint were the pillows, pretty poor.

"Everything we wanted for a quick mountain/forest/nature getaway"

10.0

What a fantastic place! The cabins are on a hill, right around the corner from “civilization” but it feels so quiet and secluded. The cabins are new, modern, clean, private, quiet, beautiful and so comfortable. Huge balcony overlooking the hills and the forest. Super comfortable bed, great water pressure, a full kitchen, and a washer and dryer. There are other cabins but they are situated so you never see or hear anyone else. Pilot Cove has some walking trails, plus it’s right next to Pisgah National Forest with more waterfalls than you could count. Brevard is a nice small town with shops, restaurants, craft beer, groceries etc. We loved it and will for sure be back!
