Property Description
Your Perfect Outdoor Retreat in Western North Carolina (WNC)!
Looking for the ultimate basecamp for your outdoor adventures in WNC? Your search ends here! Nestled within a mile of the perimeter of DuPont State Forest, this charming home offers unparalleled access to nature's wonders.
Adventure at Your Doorstep
Imagine riding your bike to the trails, returning home for a leisurely lunch, then setting off to fish or float along a nearby river. Cap off your day with dinner in Cedar Mountain or Brevard, or simply unwind with a cookout and bonfire under the starry sky.
Convenient Dining Options
Located a short distance from the cabin, you'll find a variety of delights and supplies in the heart of Cedar Mountain. Whether you're craving a farm to table meal at the local cafe, a pint by the river at the Canteen, a tasting of local Moonshine and music, or need to pick up supplies at the outfitters store, it's all just a short stroll or ride away.
Secluded Serenity
Tucked away amidst the trees and mountain laurel, this home offers tranquility and privacy. Once accessible only to select family members, this private community now invites you to experience one of WNC's most beautiful and historic summer retreat locations.
Pet-Friendly Paradise
Bring along your furry companions (1 or 2 dogs allowed with prior approval) to share in the adventure! A fee of $100 is charged per dog and agreement to crate them when no one is home with them, ensuring their safety and your peace of mind. (Sorry, we don't allow cats due to allergies.)
Your Home Away From Home
With a maximum occupancy of four to five persons, this cozy cabin ensures your comfort while maintaining environmental sustainability. Please be mindful that our well and septic system necessitates adherence to this limit (not connected to public services). We have recently upgraded to Fiber Optic Cable based communication services for better internet, TV and phone options.

The cabin was very clean and well-stocked with everything we needed. Communication with Melinda was great. We would definitely stay at Summer Haven again.

Very comfortable mountain house! Kitchen was well supplied, beds were comfortable and the surrounding area is beautiful. (The downstairs bathroom could use body wash or soap)

The Absolute Best
This was our best experience at any type of rental property. The home was just as it was projected - well-appointed, spacious, clean, comfortable, and located in a wonderful spot. The rocking chairs on the porch overlooking the forest was a bonus. We were there primarily for hiking and outdoor enjoyment. The area is rich in opportunities. We took advantage of a variety of food choices and shopping a few minutes drive away in Brevard. The owner has provided a well thought out opportunity here. This is a comfortable and convenient property. We will be back!

Great DuPont home base
Awesome, very clean and nicely decorated cabin located so close to DuPont State Park. Loved our time in the cabin after busy days mountain biking in the area!

Beautiful House
The home was beautiful and check/ check out went smoothly. I felt the pictures of the outside area were quite deceiving as the yard was very small. Otherwise everything was perfect!

Summer Heaven ( yes, I know )
The cottage was everything and more of what we remembered from a stay 7 years ago. The owner was kind enough to insure we could manipulate the driveway, bringing in sand and shoveling some ice. So thoughtful. Thanks, Melinda for sharing and caring. We'll be back!
