Pilot Cove

We booked Pilot Cove as a last-minute, emergency place to stay after spending the previous night at a VRBO rental that didn’t work out. Our bar was low, but Pilot Cove would have cleared any bar. The cabin was perfect, clean and comfortable and perfectly located adjacent to Pisgah National Forest. We enjoyed it so much we started wondering what it would take to build an identical unit on our land in upstate New York.

The location was great, right at Pisgah's gate. 10 minutes to 2 or 3 breweries. Beautiful cabin with great views. Very comfy bed. Great bathroom.

Could not quite get the ac/heat unit working to warm up the unit. I was ok, just snuggled more. The flood was a little sandy feeling.

Great location in the heart of Pisgah Forest, near the national forest entrance.

Pet fee is a little high for short/weekend stays. The same $100 fee applies to any length of stay. Would much prefer <$50 for a short stay and $100 for a week-long stay.

The view off the deck was awesome. The bed was very comfortable. We enjoyed the heated bathroom. At the entrance to Pilot Cove was a coffee trailer that had some of the best coffee around. They also have fried donuts which were fried to order and you could choose what flavor. Those were a special treat.

The communication provided by Booking.com was not timely or complete.

Clean and comfortable. Has everything you need. Loved the deck in the middle of the woods!

Great location! Private!

Two people but only one towel

Great location and a very clean think comfortable place.

Thought the beds could be a little come more comfortable. And I thought the price was just a teeny bit too high.

Location and view were great! We were very happy with the bike storage area. We loved our stay there.

Would have liked additional indoor seating. We were in the efficiency and there was only one comfortable chair. A better night stand and more coffee mugs would be nice

Pilot Cove's location was very convenient for our planned activities (in Brevard and in Pisgah National Forest). Our 1 bedroom cabin had a complete kitchen, a separate bedroom and a sofa bed (for our grandson). The cabin also contained a washer/dryer which was very convenient and useful. We also enjoyed the expansive deck that looked out over the forest (although the mosquitoes were annoying at times) - it was very relaxing just sitting on the deck and enjoying the wonderful weather that we had. Overall, it was a wonderful place to stay!

There is a disparity between Booking.com and Pilot Cove regarding arrival time. Booking.com advertises an arrival time of 3:00 pm while Pilot Cove stipulates the arrival time as 3:30 pm. We called Pilot Cove to request an early arrival time of 2:30 pm - which they would not accommodate. This was our one disappointment with Pilot Cove; given the cost of our 2 night stay, we feel they should have been more willing to accommodate a 30 minute early arrival. Irregardless, they should correct the discrepancy on arrival time.

Pilot Cove is located just outside the Pisgah National Forest, I was able to reach several trail heads for hiking within a 15 minute drive. Some biking trail heads are right on the edge of the property. The small town of Brevard was also only a 10 minute drive to the south, with small shops, breweries, and restaurants.

The unit did not have a hot tub or jacuzzi tub. After a long day of hiking, lying in a tub would have been nice.

The view and the amenities! Great full kitchen

Washing machine was broken

The mountain biking trails were my favorite. My girlfriend and I decided to take the risk and seek some thrill, and you delivered. This was the best intro to an outdoorsy lifestyle. I recommend it for any beginners who can afford it.

I wish I was told in advance about the road closures for the tour Blue Ridge Self Tours. This was definitely the biggest setback on our plans

The cabin layout was very efficient. Private.

Time to replace the mattress. Couch was uncomfortable to say the least. Next visit we will try another cabin not 96.

Unique design, comfort and location

No complaints

Charming felt like a tree house

Location was great. Loved the deck area.

Bedroom could use a tv for at night
