Great Location! Short walk to town!

This property worked out beautifully for 2 couples--each had a private bedroom and bath. We were there for a week, and cooked in every night Everything we needed was there for us! We loved sitting on the porch with our morning coffee and with our wine in the evening. The first day we had one white squirrel visit. Toward the end of our trip, another white squirrel joined the first and on the last day, a third white squirrel was there! It was so much fun to watch them play with the other squirrels and the one chipmunk! The location is so convenient. About a block to the Farmer's Market, and only a few short blocks to town. We loved everything about this home and Jan was so easy to work with. We'll definitely be back when we visit Brevard again!

Wonderful Brevard Getaway

We loved our stay at Downtown Brevard. Beautiful property with a large yard and driveway parking. We had several meals at the house and the kitchen was well equipped. We also walked to downtown for a few meals too, which was really convenient and a great way to get to know Brevard. We bought local peaches at the Saturday Farmer's Market which is practically across the street. Also, the location is just a great jumping off point for hiking to waterfalls and enjoying all that Brevard has to offer. Plenty of space for our family of four to relax. Owner provided clear instructions and was easy to communicate with. So happy we had this warm and inviting home to stay at our vacation!

Great House Close to Downtown

We just stayed in Brevard for a long Father’s Day weekend. The house was exactly what we wanted. Everything was clean and well taken care of. The back yard was full of fireflies in the evening and they put on a show. Even saw a white squirrel. Very walkable to downtown with all the shops and restaurants. Jan was super with the ease of check in and out. Will definitely stay here again.

Wonderful home-Perfect location!

The house was exactly as advertised and was perfect for a 8 day stay in beautiful Brevard. The house was extremely clean and well stocked. We enjoyed the screened patio each morning and evening watching the squirrels, birds and rabbits. The location was ideal to walking to dinner (one block off Main). The neighborhood was clean and quiet. We have stayed in several VRBOs in Brevard over the years and this is our favorite. Jan was a wonderful host and very attentive. It was like talking with an old friend. We’re looking forward to coming back!

Great spot, close to town

It was a great place. Everything was clean, and up to date. It had everything I needed in the kitchen to cook, and a nice big back yard, bigger than the photos suggest. I saw one of Brevard's famous white squirrels there! The one small hiccup we had was handled quickly and professionally by the owner. The one puzzling thing, is that this was advertised as a 3 bedroom, but the third bedroom was locked when we arrived. A sign said that it was available for an additional charge. We only needed one bedroom, so it was no problem, but if you go here with a larger group, ask if the third bedroom will be locked or not. We were never told ahead of time that the third bedroom would be locked, so I felt like this was a bait and switch. Also, although there were two full bathrooms, they were both inside the door of two different bedrooms. In other words, two bedrooms were suites with their own bathrooms, but there were no other bathrooms in the house. It wasn't a problem for me, but it would be weird if we had a larger group, and someone was using that third bedroom.

So close to town

Jan was so nice and communicated with us well! She filled up the bird feeder prior to our stay and we were able to see 2 white squirrels!! It was little touches like this that made our trip perfect! There was plenty of room for our family of 3. We were able to walk into town which was awesome to not have to fight looking for parking! Would definitely stay here again! Also, Jan was accommodating to our schedule and allowed us to check in about 3 hours early! It was such a treat!

Great Location for Visiting Downtown!

I stayed at Jan's house since it was walkable to downtown Brevard. That was important to me as I was a vendor at the White Squirrel Festival. The house was also across from a wooded area where I spotted my first and only white squirrel! The house is very spacious which we enjoyed. No problems with anything at all. We recommend staying here!

What an amazing place to stay

I would like to keep this place a secret! My wife and I stayed here and its so close to downtown we could walk everywhere and its centrally located in some of the best hikes and waterfalls in the area. The owners were very attentive and responsive. It was immaculately clean. The only thing I could add is "shhhhhh - don't tell anyone, I want it to be my spot!"

This was my second stay at Jan Lees vrbo. This home is in an excellent location, and incredibly clean. The house is comfortable and has everything you need for a visit to Brevard. Jan is always quick to answer any questions, and on hand if there is an emergency (locked myself out :( ). Wonderful stay as usual.
