White Squirrel Lodge - Family friendly, pond & stream, breezy porches & wildlife

Located in Hidden Valley off of Williamson Creek Rd in Pisgah Forest / Brevard, NC just 8 minutes from downtown Brevard, close to the Hospital and about the same distance to Pisgah National Forest and DuPont State Park. The Lodge is situated on a wooded corner lot with a pond on one side and a small stream on another. The lot backs up to a game trail and salt block where we regularly see deer, squirrels (white & grey), chipmunks, rabbits, fox and about every bird in the region.


New VRBO listing mid June, '20, privately managed for 8 years. Many of our guests look forward to returning annually and have visited here for years.

Although there’s lots to see and do in the area, some of our guests prefer to sit on the porch in the Sky Chair, sip their favorite beverage read a book and watch the wildlife. It’s truly a very unique experience. Please read our reviews!

THIS IS NOT YOUR TYPICAL RENTAL, there are very few like it! Very clean with lots of special touches. Our outside fire pit is a great place to hear the running stream below. Summer or Winter it’s a quiet restful spot in the Forest. Do Not miss booking this adorable cabin as it is often booked a year in advance. The house is sunny, bright, breezy and well appointed with upscale furnishings, antiques and local art. While we've not had any security issues we do have outside driveway security cameras that are motion activated. These were installed because of the national increase in Porch Pirates stealing deliveries. They are not viewed unless there’s an issue.

Come for a visit, stay awhile, we promise you won’t be disappointed!

1st time in NC!

This place blew us away! Honestly it was better than the photos! As soon as we got there we were greeted with multiple white squirrels outside! We also saw chipmunks, grey squirrels and deer (with 2 babies)!!! It was so nice and quite and close to so many amazing trails and right near downtown Brevard. This was really even better than expected!!! Thank you so much for such an UNBELIEVABLE first experience in NC. We already look forward to our next visit!

The White Squirrel Lodge is a great mountain stay near Brevard

We were very happy with our stay at the White Squirrel Lodge. From the comfy sofas, the well-stocked kitchen, and the big porch to watching the deer and squirrels, all of our needs were met and exceeded. We were close to our favorite hikes and Brevard was just a short drive away. We definitely plan to return in the future!

Loved the wildlife!

We enjoyed our stay at White Squirrel Lodge. House was clean and stocked with everything you need. Spent most of our time out on the deck watching the birds, white & gray squirrels and the deer. Spent some time in Brevard checking out the shops and walking around it's a cute little town. Would definitely would come back to stay again.

Wonderful Mountain Retreat

Beautiful cabin. Had everything we needed and more. Had that cozy woodsy cabin feel (stream, deer, birds & white squirrels included) but really wasn’t that far away from town at all.

Perfect home away from home

Our family of six was in town so that some of our kids could see mountains for the first time. The house was welcoming and fully stocked and we loved watching the squirrels and deer from the porch. We spent our days hiking and swimming in the forest and, the area had all we needed to make our stay absolutely delightful. Would love to stay Again, and thankfully, the weather was perfect! I think the best part was the kitchen – if you love to cook this is the best kitchen away from home I've experienced so far!

Perfect place for relaxing

Great house and great location. You'll be close to hiking and cycling. Owners were helpful and even provided cracked corn to feed the deer and birdseed for the birds. We enjoyed spending the afternoons watching the wildlife. House was cozy, clean and had everything we needed.

Wonderful place to stay!

This was a great place to stay for me and my kids! The house had everything we needed and then some. If we had a question, we got an answer right away. We watched the deer and white squirrels, we’re right near town, and near all of the activities we had planned. We had an amazing time and will go back next time we’re in Brevard.

Amazing property

If you enjoy watching wildlife, love peaceful porch sitting and a comfy, relaxing, clean, and welcoming home, this property is for you. Everything about this cabin is amazing. The furniture in the living room is so comfortable and the entire home is well stocked with everything that you will need. The porch is so nice to sit on. We saw raccoon, plenty of white squirrels, so many deer and a black bear. All front the comfort of the porch. We will definitely be back.

beautiful home! excellent location.

well appointed with all amenities. We love the "indoor" bird feeder, beautiful porch, hidden in the mountains, private, beautiful decor. I especially appreciate extra towels for swimming. I would stay at this home again! Oh, the waterfall book was very useful. I recommend Sliding Rock, Deep River Cove near Saluda (tubing), Rainbow Falls hike... downtown Brevard.

great cabin!

The cabin is very nicely equipped and decorated. We were surprised by the amount and verity of kitchen utensils and other appliances at the house, felt like it had almost everything we needed! We were only 2 adults, but this cabin seemed like it could host at least 2 families with children (it had a nice game room as well) It was very clean and pleasant to stay at. We saw a bunch of wildlife (white squirrels included!) come by near the cabin. Would definitely recommend!
