Moondance - Hike / Bike / Golf / Relax w/ Hot Tub - Brevard / DuPont / Caesars H

Enjoy our home when we're not there! Moondance is a private home nestled between Dupont State Forest, Pisgah Forest and Mountain Bridge Wilderness Area (Jones Gap State Park + Caesars Head) and 15 minutes to downtown Brevard. Only a 45 minute drive to Asheville Regional and Spartanburg/Greenville, South Carolina airports. Moondance is easy to find at night with paved road access, no 4 WD needed. There is parking on-site for up to 5 vehicles (room for a trailer).

Bedrooms: Note All bedrooms are located on the second floor

Description:
Hike, Bike, Fish and Relax with your family, friends and pets. Located between Dupont Forest, Jones Gap & Caesars Head (Mountain Bridge) and only 15 minutes from the charming town of Brevard, NC.

Soak your tired muscles in the 5-6-person hot tub after a day of hiking/biking and enjoy the nature and wildlife that thrive in the 1,000-acre Sherwood Forest, an Audubon Cooperative Sanctuary Program. Comfy beds await you with soft cotton sheets and plenty of pillows (cozy flannel sheets in the winter). The eat-in kitchen is fully outfitted and the separate dining room will seat your entire group, or enjoy your meals on the large private deck.

This home features not just a hot tub but a bike washing station, a gas grill, pool table, ping pong table and a basketball hoop. Take a 5 minute walk to Trout Lake and keep what you catch; no fishing license needed. Of course there are rocking chairs and a fireplace for romantic evenings.

Fall in love with the magic of Sherwood Forest and enjoy all it has to offer. This enchanting area includes more than 20 miles of hiking trails with meandering streams and gentle waterfalls. Explore and see if you can find the old stills! Enjoy fishing on five lakes, swimming in a heated junior Olympic pool (Memorial Day - end of summer), play tennis, and golf on an executive course where the hazards include wildflower beds and an occasional llama caddy. No gates, no worries, just peace and privacy.

The concrete driveway is steep but 4WD is not needed (I drive a Camry). You can pull right up to the house and park in the garage if you'd like. There is on-site parking for five vehicles including a trailer.

Children are always welcome, but the house is not 'child proof' for toddlers (e.g. no gate on the stairway, no outlet covers, cleaning supplies in the cupboards).

Hot Tub (5-6 people)
Bike washing station
Ping Pong Table

We loved our stay at Moondance and hope to return again! This was the cleanest property we have ever rented, and it was exactly as advertised and was the perfect home base for our family to enjoy all of the amazing outdoor adventures that the area has to offer. The trails and lakes in Sherwood Forest are amazing, and we also enjoyed exploring Brevard, Cedar Mountain, Pisgah, and DuPont. Many thanks to the owners for being such excellent hosts.

Pretty Place family time
Wonderful home for a get together with family. Centrally located for our stay, which was to visit Pretty Place and Brevard. The home was one of the cleanest we have stayed with VBRO. Everything you could want in a VBRO and more supplied!!! Only negative is... We did not have front wheel drive on our vehicle and the rain made it hard to get up the steep driveway, but there was parking at the bottom of the driveway. YES !!! we would rent again ..Beautiful place with so much to offer !! Thank you for our stay !!!!

Awesome house very close to DuPont and Raven Cliff Falls
House was very clean and the perfect size for our family of 4 and two other friends. Very close to DuPont and Raven Cliff Falls. Our group was split into mountain bikers and hikers. Mountain bikers went to DuPont and Pisgah, hikers to DuPont, Raven Cliff Falls, and the many hiking trails on site. Ability to use the 2-car garage and bike wash station was a huge plus!

Great rental
We came to Brevard to enjoy the mountain bike trails. We loved the proximity of the house to Dupont, and Pisgah and downtown Brevard weren’t a bad drive. The neighborhood was very nice. Being right off Greenville Hwy made it very easy to get around, too. The house was comfortable and had everything we needed. The hot tub was an added bonus at the end of a long day of riding and hiking. Wr cooked or grilled most nights. The kitchen was well-equipped (there was a garlic press and a cheese shredder😊). We also enjoyed the canoe and the neighborhood hiking trails. We didn’t need the bike wash station this time around, but it was nice to know it was there, just in case. Highly recommended if you’re looking for a spot close to Dupont, and just a little bit out of town!

We love this house
This is our second year in a row here, and we have already booked to come back next year for our annual family fall mountain trip. The owner's are so kind and helpful. The house has all we need. It is very clean and spacious and such an easy place to have our family (2 parents and kids aged 0-8). We love the bumper pool table, ping pong table, hot tub, games and puzzles, and more. The neighborhood is so great - we love hiking the neighborhood trails, canoeing and swinging and fishing at the lake. It is decently close to all the things we love to do (things in Hendersonville, Pisgah, Brevard). We highly recommend this home!

Awesome Labor Day stay!!
Our family has been to many vacation homes and this one was by far the cleanest one in which we have stayed. Very comfortable rooms, fully stocked kitchen (we did not lack for one single thing we needed), and complete peacefulness day and night. Sitting in the rocking chairs on the front porch listening to the creek across the street was the epitome of mountain living!! We would revisit this property without a second thought.

Short stay to visit with nearby family!
This was a peaceful & very comfortable stay! We had everything we needed for sure! The beds were very comfortable & we slept well. While preparing breakfast one morning, we counted 7-8 small deer walking right behind the upper tree line behind the house! We heard them before we saw them, as there was a lot of leaf crunching announcing their arrival! We were very thankful for the fireplace - it was quite cozy. The driveway became challenging for our truck, after it rained & more leaves came down. It was hard to get traction, so we were thankful that the owners provided a parking area @ the road level. The porch & deck were nice places to sit & enjoy our coffee! We recommend Moondance to anyone looking for a quiet respite!

Wonderful place!
We loved this place and hope to go again and again. It was spacious, clean, had all we needed and more, was comfortable. The kids loved the hot tub and bumper pool and ping pong and basketball at the house. We all loved hiking right from the front door for miles through the neighborhood on trails, and we loved swinging and fishing and having a picnic at the lake a couple of minutes walk down the road. The bedrooms and closets were all spacious and easy to fit a pack and play in any room or closet. It was about 20 min to brevard (on windy roads, which was a bit of a struggle for our car sick kids). Check in and check out were a breeze. Thank you for sharing your home!

We’ve stayed in many great VRBO properties, but this one is exceptional. The house was immaculate and well furnished with towels and kitchen equipment. The location was perfect for us to see waterfalls in Pisgah, Kayak in Saluda, explore downtown Asheville, mountain bike in DuPont, and catch a sunset at Caesars Head. The hot tub in the private backyard was a treat in the evenings to recoup for the next days adventure. Our daughter got some laps in at the community pool and my son and I had fun on the golf course for his first time golf experience. Didn’t get a chance to fish the trout pond or hike the paths… hopefully next time we visit! John was very helpful with questions -a perfect host. Thanks again!

Family Home for Family Vacation
We visited Brevard, NC the summer of 2021. Didn't get enough, so I used my drive back to Melbourne, FL to find another place to stay for the following summer. I selected this home for the hot tub, game room, ping pong table and bumper pool. With a 12 and 14 year old, I figured these extras would keep the arguing down and the engagement level high. They worked. All games were in great shape with parts readily available. Other aspects that kept the bickering down were the stocked pond, playground, and neighborhood trails and paved roads. The kids and adults could just get a immersed in the outdoors with many options to keep themselves busy. There were also plenty of board games on hand, but we had most at home so we skipped those. Other comforts were very comfortable beds, thick and plentiful towels and enough hot water for all four of us. The home was "decently" clean. It very much looks like a hired housekeeper provides a "surface" clean. My recommendation to the owners, would be to do a more in-depth cleaning paying more attention to baseboards, cabinet faces, corners, dishwasher filters and air filters. The home was in no way gross. It just needed someone to get on their hands and knees with a rag and bucket. The driveway is very, very steep. Upon driving to the home, it will look like you are climbing up a roller coaster or taking off in an airplane. When leaving the drive way, you may not be able to see the driveway because the hood of your car is at such a steep angle. Arrive during the daylight.

Both Sherwood Forest and Moondance we’re absolutely magical! The home was clean and comfortable and it was evident that the owners took their guests every need into consideration when planning for stays. We also loved the privacy, the lake with the canoe, and Moondance’s location, which was in close proximity to many trails and waterfalls. If we are ever fortunate enough to return to the area, we would absolutely choose Moondance for our stay!
