6/10 Good

It was fine. They oversell the "luxury" angle IMO. The large deck is nice. The upward sloped roof allows good outdoor light into the kitchen.

Great stay

My husband and i stayed a couple of days while visiting the national parks. It was quiet, clean and comfortable. Very close to parks and a few restaurants. I would definitely stay here again.

We loved the layout of the room. It was very comfy, with a wonderful view off the balcony. The bed was super comfortable and shower had plenty of hot water. The room design lent itself to relaxing, reading, studying maps, eating and really anything we might want to do on vacation.

Great place to stay with your dog. It was very private and quiet and also within close proximity to many trails, stores and restaurants.

8/10 Very good

Beautiful place, a little tricky to find. We were at the top of the hill. Beautiful inside , the porch was great. The only problem is that the mini split heat pump system could not warm the space. It blew warm air, just not enough. That bed was cozy and warm.

We have stayed at Pilot Cove a few times and always enjoyed it. Clean and quiet and near Pisgah state forest with hiking and waterfalls. Brevard is a cute little city with shops and restaurants.

Lovely cabin in the trees with relaxing balcony patio. Convenient to Brevard and Mountain Song festival. I’d give 5 stars but there were a couple of housekeeping issues… some dirty dishes in dishwasher, hand soap in bathroom watered down or stretched with cheap soap. Even so… I’d totally recommend this Pilot Cove.

Awesome and quaint! Very clean and cozy, we will be staying again. Very impressed with the care and thought put into the entire place. Only negative is we had a terrible time finding it, it was worth getting lost over !

I can’t imagine a more comfortable floor plan with access to a nice view, while maintaining privacy. With in a few miles to local trout fishing access points, lazy streams to rent a tube and float or swim a while. Highly recommended

Anniversary Getaway at Pilot Cove

We really enjoyed our stay at Pilot Cove. The cabin we stayed in, #260, felt very private as it was at the top of the hill. Beautiful cabin with everything you need. I would recommend bringing your own pillows, they were a little flat. But the bed was bug and comfortable! Great stay, will definitely be back!
Kimberly, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Everything you need in the 1 bedroom including kitchen ware, washer/dryer, bike cleaning station, shower amenities. It had a great deck w/ chairs & hammock that looks into woods, not much view. There is no staff, it’s self check in w/ coded door lock timed making it very easy. My only complaint were the pillows, pretty poor.

We loved our stay at Pilot Cove! Such a cute cabin community nestled up next to the Pisgah Forest. Wonderful location, close to everything, but far enough away to relax into nature. I could have sat on that back deck for days! Our cabin was perfectly equiped with everything we needed and was spotlessly clean. I wish we had been able to stay longer. Felt like we could move right in. We would definitely stay there again when we are in Brevard!
