Enjoy the secluded mountains of North Carolina while being only four miles from beautiful Brevard, North Carolina, with this 2-night stay in The Partridge Nest cabin for up to 5 people.

The cabin features 2 queen-sized bedrooms and 2 full baths with an additional sleeping area in the cozy writer's loft. Amenities include a beautiful and well-stocked kitchen, dining area, wood-burning fireplace, and a full screened porch with a mountain view. The interior design is comfortable, inviting, and mountain inspired.

This rustic and sophisticated cabin is nestled on a mountainside near the French Broad River. It is located on nine private acres secluded from the Partridge Hill main house where the owners live. Partridge Hill was once owned by the author Hamilton Basso, who was a close friend of Thomas Wolfe. Wolfe and Basso spent many hours on Partridge Hill and would have loved the inviting ambience of The Partridge Nest.

An ideal get-away spot, the cabin is secluded yet only four miles from Brevard, which features fine restaurants, the Brevard Music Center, Brevard College and many great shops. The Brevard Music Center is renowned nationwide for its summer musical presentations and its students typically go on to major careers in music. Keith Lockhart is the artistic director and principal conductor.

The Pisgah National Forest is just minutes away from your front door and offers some of the finest hiking, rock climbing and fly fishing in the eastern U.S. Majestic waterfalls surround the area as well.

You will forget time as you sit on the old-fashioned porch swing enjoying the mountain view or reading a book in the cozy loft. You will return to the real world rested, renewed and looking forward to your next visit to The Partridge Nest.

The Partridge Nest was featured in the February 2018 issue of North Carolina's Our State magazine. There are several pictures and a very informative story.
