Lovely cabin in the trees with relaxing balcony patio. Convenient to Brevard and Mountain Song festival. I’d give 5 stars but there were a couple of housekeeping issues… some dirty dishes in dishwasher, hand soap in bathroom watered down or stretched with cheap soap. Even so… I’d totally recommend this Pilot Cove.

Cabin in the forest.

A very nice stay near Brevard and Pisgah Forest. The place was spacious and clean. Very well appointed. We enjoyed the secluded patio for coffee and evening drinks. Having a washer and dryer was very helpful since there is so much to do outdoors! It was a bit difficult to find. Look for The Hub on your GPS and then you will find the small sign near its parking lot.

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.

We had such a quiet, restful time. Lots of rain did not keep us from walking through quaint shops and eating well in nearby Brevard. Our unit had a kitchen with excellent appliances and clean, new pots and pans too. Bed was comfortable and bathroom perfect!

I can’t imagine a more comfortable floor plan with access to a nice view, while maintaining privacy. With in a few miles to local trout fishing access points, lazy streams to rent a tube and float or swim a while. Highly recommended

Lovely cabin and beautiful location, HOWEVER, cabin number given (even when access code gained entry) was already occupied. It was difficult to contact management, then was told I "went to the wrong cabin and door must have been unlocked" when we clearly heard the lock click and provided the original email stating the "incorrect" cabin number thrice. Also, had to buy toilet paper as no refills were provided. BYOTP

Anniversary Getaway at Pilot Cove

We really enjoyed our stay at Pilot Cove. The cabin we stayed in, #260, felt very private as it was at the top of the hill. Beautiful cabin with everything you need. I would recommend bringing your own pillows, they were a little flat. But the bed was bug and comfortable! Great stay, will definitely be back!

Nothing like feeling as if you’re 100 miles from everything and you’re actually 10 mins from everything. This unit was immaculate, beautifully equipped and perfect for an easy getaway. We will never stay anywhere else when visiting Brevard!

The cabins are in a great location for outdoor activities (biking, hiking, etc.) The finishings in the cabin are nice, as is the large covered back porch. The front porch is covered as well, making it good for getting muddy gear off out of the rain, and the mudroom part is convenient for storing bikes. The washer and dryer proved handy since our stay proved to be a rainy and muddy one, and the WiFi was nice for watching movies when rained in/in the evenings. We would stay again.

We loved our stay at Pilot Cove! Such a cute cabin community nestled up next to the Pisgah Forest. Wonderful location, close to everything, but far enough away to relax into nature. I could have sat on that back deck for days! Our cabin was perfectly equiped with everything we needed and was spotlessly clean. I wish we had been able to stay longer. Felt like we could move right in. We would definitely stay there again when we are in Brevard!
