2 Cabins

Meraki Escape in Brevard, NC, offers 2 luxury Nordic Spruce log cabins. This is an adults-only cabin retreat rather than a serviced RV park — no children, and the published record shows no RV sites or hookups, so contact them directly if you're traveling in a rig. Laundry, a bathhouse, on-site dining, a general store, a spa, a hot tub and sauna, a library, a concierge, and EV charging serve guests. Pets are welcome. The property also hosts weddings. One practical note the property makes itself: print or download the driving directions before you set out, because cell and GPS coverage drops through these mountains. Creek frontage, walking trails, hiking, fishing, kayaking, and birding fill the forested grounds, with wine tasting, golf, and a state park nearby. Brevard sits in Transylvania County in the southern Blue Ridge — the self-styled Land of Waterfalls, with Pisgah National Forest, DuPont State Forest, and more than 250 named falls in the county. Rates for the cabins are on the booking page. Two cabins, adults only — book early, and download the directions.

Is Brevard a Rain Forest? - Gorges State Park is a Temperate Rain Forest and Meraki Escape is ½ mile a way. - In Gorges State Park the average yearly rainfall is over 80 inches creating a temperate rain forest. The rainfall is a result of orographic lift which occurs when an air mass is forced from a low elevation to a higher elevation as it moves over the rising terrain. - The land at Gorges State Park (and Meraki Escape) rises over 2, 000 feet in just 4 miles. - The air mass gains altitude it expands and cools adiabatically. - This cooler air cannot hold the moisture as well as warm air can, which effectively raises the relative humidity to 100%, creating clouds and frequent precipitation. Wildlife? Bears? - When designing Meraki Escape, we went to great lengths to preserve the forest environment for guests to enjoy alongside modern comforts. - Please understand that you may encounter mosquitos, gnats, ticks and other wildlife such as deer, turkey, birds, butterflies, squirrels, fox, etc. around the cabins. - Black bears do live in Gorges State Park (1/2 mile from Meraki Escape) and we take precautions such as storing all trash indoors, no food in the outside dog waste bins, and no bird feeders to deter the bears and luckily haven’t had one visit the cabins or our property yet. - Our resident dog, Parker, as well as our neighbor dog, Dixie, also help to scare any curious bears off.
