Honeybee Haven, 2 BD Cottage with Beautiful Garden

Step into the allure of Honeybee Haven, a cottage embraced by trees. It's your ideal mountain retreat for the ultimate getaway! Our gardens are a perpetual burst of color, inviting you to witness the birds, butterflies, and our own honeybee hive. Nestled conveniently between Pisgah National Forest and Dupont State Forest, with hiking and biking trails at your doorstep, this is your haven for outdoor bliss. Come, immerse yourself in the beauty and adventure of our mountain town! 

 We've designed Honeybee Haven with our guests in mind. Each bed is comfortable with quality linens. You’ll find thoughtful touches throughout to make you really feel at home. Craft meals in our full kitchen after a day of exploring and cozy up with a book on our covered porch and swing! Brevard and Hendersonville are the closest towns and just a short drive away. Board games are also available, as well as a TV with an Amazon Firestick and Wi-Fi. Fully fenced yard if you have a dog!  You will have access to the whole house, including the laundry room with a washer and dryer.   The driveway is steep going up to the house. It goes all the way around the house and is very narrow. I’ve driven a Toyota Tacoma all the way around but wouldn’t recommend it. If you have anything larger or longer than a standard SUV, I would advise parking in front of or under the carport so you can back out when leaving.  

Please message us if you need anything during your stay. We are locals in this area and have knowledge of the best hiking trails, mountain bike trails, waterfalls, overlooks and fly fishing spots. Ask us anything.  

The neighborhood is called Pisgah Shadows. It is a quiet area with beautiful trees and landscaping. Feel free to take a walk around the neighborhood. There is very little traffic. The house is minutes from the French Broad River where you can access areas to go tubing, kayaking, fishing, or paddle boarding.  

Pets are definitely allowed! Let us know if you plan to bring more than 2. We provide a fully fenced in yard, dog bowls and dog towels for your fur babies. We prefer if you keep your dog(s) in a crate when you leave them at the house to prevent any unwanted damage. If you think you’ll have to leave your dog(s) for a long time, let me know! I’m a pet sitter part time. If you give me a heads up, I will gladly come by to let your dog outside, take them on a walk and/or feed them. Reach out for more details on this service that I offer.
  
Please enjoy viewing the honeybee hive, but don't get close to it. It does have an electric fence around it to protect from bears and other animals like raccoons. Don't worry if a honey bee gets near you. They are very docile and will only sting if you impose danger to their hive.
During your stay at this holiday home, you're just a quick walk from French Broad River. Enjoy features like laundry facilities. The holiday home includes amenities such as a kitchen and a balcony.
  • Air-conditioned home with kitchen, washing machine and balcony

This home was wonderful! The location is perfect - close town, great restaurants, and plenty of outdoor activities. The house was spotless, beautifully decorated, and had a warm feel. The products in the house were high quality and the beding very comfy. The property is surrounded by woods, that made it feel private and peaceful. The host was incredibly responsive and accomodating.

We were so impressed with this private adorable little house. Thoughtful touches everywhere, and we had everything we needed. Our dog enjoyed exploring the property. Make sure you close all the gates to make a fully-enclosed doggy space. For nature nerds we recommend watching the bees with binoculars in the morning!

We had a lovely stay at The Honeybee Haven! It was adorable, very clean and comfortable. We loved having a fire in the fire pit outside, and listening to the eastern screech owls.It was close to Pisgah National Forest, Dupont State Forest, and Brevard , so we could spend time hiking and shopping! Wonderful hosts! We will definitely go back.

Bee-utiful house in the mountains!

The Honeybee Haven is adorable and a perfect spot for us to escape to Pisgah National Forest and Brevard! Our Host was wonderful. So responsive. The house was perfectly equipped and well-maintained! We had fun. Dog-friendly amenities were a plus! Our pup loved it! The property is lovely with blooming flowers and honeybees. The house is close enough to Brevard and Pisgah that we easily drove back and forth. Tubing was amazing on the French Broad River. Hiked to a few falls and got caught in a rain storm. Awesome having washer and dryer available! Beds are super soft! Thanks for a great stay!

Cozy home away from home

This was a beautiful home to stay in, quick and easy check-in process, and the area is beautiful as well. Its about 10 minutes from the nearest store, but nothing too terrible of a drive. I would absolutely consider staying here again!

Very cozy house, with no issues post-Helene

The house was well-appointed with lots of extra kitchen helpers (spices, condiments, coffee, tea). The beds were very comfortable. It was easy to get to, and great for staying with my dog. The owner responded to communications very quickly, and we had a wonderful experience.

Short but sweet stay

The property was quite nice. I should have thought more in advance about the various stairs (due to my husbands limited eye sight and sometimes unsteady on his feet), but that's nothing against the host or the cottage. Just saying for other folks in the future to be aware. Even though the cottage was in a neighborhood you'd never know, it felt like we were in the middle of the woods, which is what we like! Definitely give it a thumbs up!

Great place to stay!

We really enjoyed staying here even for a night. The house was cute and had everything we needed like dishes, bathroom necessities, and linens. The beds were comfy and the house had cute charm. The owners were great with messaging and answering our questions and very friendly. Definitely recommend this place to stay if you are looking to do some things in Hendersonville or around the area.

Perfect Cottage routine

Stay met all expectations. Located between Hendersonville and Brevard. And between Pisgah and Dupot Forests. Cottage was comfortable with good space. Had room for two kennels for our dogs. Kitchen well equipped and allowed us to make meals. Enjoyed a sunny lunch at the fire pit. Easy drive to hikes/waterfalls in both Forests and to do some shopping, eating, coffee in Brevard/Hendersonville.
