We had such a quiet, restful time. Lots of rain did not keep us from walking through quaint shops and eating well in nearby Brevard. Our unit had a kitchen with excellent appliances and clean, new pots and pans too. Bed was comfortable and bathroom perfect!

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.

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!

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.
