Simply Gorges Cabin is an exclusive mountain getaway nestled between the Gorges State Forest and one thousand acres of protected private sanctuary. Take pleasure in the unparalleled views of the Carolina Mountains overlooking Lake Jocassee as you discover the definition of God’s country. The breathtaking vistas and tranquil surroundings are reserved only for the guests of this spectacular mountain haven. You, your family and friends will be captivated by the scenery and find yourselves immediately at peace.

Located in Transylvania County where 50% of the land is protected state and national forests and where you will find the highest concentration of waterfalls in North America, Simply Gorges also borders South Carolina State forests. Guests of Simply Gorges awake each morning to views most visitors to the mountains must drive or hike to see anything comparable. Imagine yourself being inspired every day and so relaxed that not going anywhere and 'staying in'...can be a real treat!

The top floor has an inviting open floor plan with large picture windows. This is the main living area with walnut floors, a fully equipped kitchen, living room, dining room, sun room, and deck with seating and grill. The kitchen features all stainless steel appliances including a great gas stove and pot filler, a large refrigerator, and a Bosch dishwasher. There are custom glass front cabinets and beautiful granite counter-tops. You will find everything you need in this kitchen and throughout the home: plenty of glassware, cookware, small appliances, spices, basic condiments, a tea selection, coffee, creamer, sugar, cooking oils, baking supplies, storage supplies(foil, baggies, etc), all paper products, soaps, detergents, dryer sheets, etc. Simply Gorges is also equipped with a supply of toddler items such as sippy cups, utensils, toddler plates, etc. Even four-legged guests are supplied with dog bowls! All you will need to bring is your main food items and drinks.

A large granite bar seats 4 in addition to 2 other table and chair options for dining. The living room area has a stone fireplace, leather furnishings, and a sofa bed opposite a lovely window seat. The queen bedroom has a plush comforter and pillows, a dresser, ample closet space, and complimentary robes.

On this level is also where you will find the upper deck, which is the perfect spot for viewing the amazing sunsets. The deck has glass balusters so as not to interfere with the views. It also has comfortable seating and a stainless steel gas grill. The deck is gated, so your small children and furry family members can safely enjoy the views with you while you grill!

The second level is where you will find a large partially covered deck, an outdoor dining area, a cozy swing and a wonderful hot tub overlooking North and South Carolina mountains as well as Lake Jocassee. Also on this floor is a spacious bedroom with a King bed, dresser, a separate sitting room, full bath, and complimentary robes. The utility room housing the washer and dryer is also on this level.

Simply Gorges is located on 5 acres of private property. The natural forest surroundings lends itself to being very private and peaceful. Garden areas provide 360 degrees of beautiful views. Children soon discover the rope swing and parents soon discover the difficulty of getting them off the swing! A short trail on the property will lead you to huge stone outcroppings and stone steps in the back of the cabin lead to a garden area and places from which to pick wild blackberries.

After dining inside or outside, gather around the fire pit and enjoy making some smores for dessert! A supply of wood for burning is available for guests to use as well as some fire logs(non wood/clean burning) for use if you prefer to burn environmentally friendly logs in the fireplace.

Why Deborah Scott chose Brevard

We have lived and traveled to many places and even lived in many different parts of this county (Transylvania). Nothing can compare to this hidden gem that we found in 2006. Simply Gorges has been our home until recently, when we bought another property in the same neighborhood. Guests that stay at Simply Gorges awaken to views every morning that other people have to drive or hike to in order to see anything remotely comparable. Every day when you gaze upon the beauty of the surroundings, you immediately feel at peace. One can't help but be reminded of God's blessings He has bestowed upon us. We have been absolutely thrilled to be able to share this little piece of Heaven on earth with our guests.

What makes this house unique

Simply Gorges is a secluded luxurious home located in a private neighborhood which borders protected state forests. The unobstructed view from this cabin is spectacular and unbeatable. You will be mesmerized from the moment you walk in the door.

Within a 25 mile radius, you can reach everything---Gorges State Park, the Blue Ridge Parkway, PARI, Table Rock State Park, Jocassee State Park, Pisgah National Forest, Dupont State Park, Sapphire Valley Ski Resort, Brevard Music Center, fishing, golfing, skiing, water sports, hiking, shopping, antiquing, live music, theater, crafts, fine arts, dining and more.

Or you just might want to stay in and enjoy the hot tub, the view, huge rock outcroppings on the property, picking wild blackberries in the back yard, swinging on the swings, or hiking around the area.

WOW

At the moment we opened the door the only word we said was WOW!, simply incredable. The house was spacious, comfortable with a well stocked kitchen. It is one thing to look at the mountains, but when you are IN the mountains looking at the mountains it is something quite different. The owner, Debbie, was very helpful with information from where to shop, what to see and where to eat. But we have to confess our most enjoyable meals were at the dining room table taking in the view. I would recommend this property to anyone that wants to take advantage of a wonderful, remote view of the mountains from a comfortable home.

Absolutely loved the property! It lived up to our expectations in every way. We road and mountain biked everyday but one and to come back to this beautiful place to relax in the hot tub and on the deck to watch the sunset was perfect! It was rainy and cold one day so we just snuggled in for the day and relaxed, napped and watched movies in front of a fire. Morning coffee on the deck, wine as we watched the sunset. Grilled our dinner every night because we were so comfortable we didn't want to leave the house. Beautiful area and the owner was so helpful to us by connecting us to the local bike shop. Can't wait to come back someday!!

Words can't describe the amazing views nature has to offer from this property. From the minute you walk in the door, the views take your breath away. I have rented from VRBO for many years and htis is the best experience I have ever had. The owner had chocolates and dog treats waiting in a welcome basket with a note which was above and beyond. The house is beautiful and it was a treat to cook in the kitchen. We can't wait to come back!

We were looking for a long weekend getaway to relax and relieve stress. We knew the hot tub would be good and a nice view would be a plus. We have stayed in a lot of places in the mountains with good " majestic" views but this view blew us away and brought my wife to tears. The whole house was immaculate and comfortable. The fireplace was another added bonus and we used it every night. The icing on the cake was waking up to 2" of snow when only a dusting was forecast. We now had another fantastic view for the same money. What a deal. Our host said if you can't get rest and relaxation here you can't get it anywhere and she was correct. We did do some hiking to keep the metabolism going but the place is real quiet and a little off the beaten path but still close to all the area attractions .All the best waterfalls are close by and we will visit them the next time, maybe. Simply Gorges is better than depicted and everything thing you will need is there. Just bring food and drink. Actually the clear, clean water from the nearby mountain stream can't be beat. I want to keep it secret but everyone should experience it at least once. We are already coming back for the summer and in the fall.

Christmas in the Mountains

My daughter, her two children and two of our friends, had a wonderful Christmas week at Simply Gorges. Although we were hoping to see snow and saw a couple of days of rain instead, we found the house delightful, completely stocked wtih everything we could possibly need. The view was absolutely spectacular! The town of Brevard is so quaint with lots of interesting shops to explore. Although the weather was not particularly conducive for a lot of sightseeing, we were able to get to one of the nearby waterfalls. Breathtaking! The kids had a turn in the hottub, we loved the fireplace and watching Christmas movies, and Santa was able to find the kids with no problem. We also very much appreciated the personal note from the owner, and the bag of doggie treats left for the four-legged kids. There is even a very helpful guide notebook with discount cards for the local groceries and important info about all of the amenities of the place. This was not my first experience with renting through VRBO and I will definitely use VRBO in the future for any of my vacation rentals!

Wow. Where to begin? When we walked through the door we were immediately drawn to the view. Pictures cannot do it justice, nor can words adequately describe it. It's simply magnificent! When we finally dragged ourselves away from the windows we discovered a tastefully decorated, comfortable, cozy house. It's obvious that Debbie takes great pride in Simply Gorges. Every little detail was perfect. From the fully equipped kitchen to the plush bath towels and robes, everything we needed was right at our fingertips. Even the pantry was well stocked!

We hesitate to recommend this property to family and friends only because we want to keep it "our little secret!". We've already booked for next year.

Thank you, Debbie, for everything!

The Perfect Escape!

What a gem Simply Gorges is! Our goal was to enjoy a week of peace and tranquility, and this was attained one hundredfold! From the personal welcome, the charming entrance to the million dollar view you can see from every vantage point in the main living area, and Master Bedroom, this home and the proprietors are super special! We were excited every morning and evening to see what the spectacular sunrises and sunsets would reveal to us! The sunset after the rainstorm was amazing! Every comfort and convenience was provided for in this home. The owners kindly offer many suggestions and guidebooks for things to do in the area, they didn't leave any stone unturned. The waterfalls in the county are numerous and worth seeing. We enjoyed this home so much, we preferred staying in, rather than hopping about town. We definitely would recommend this home, and definitely look forward to returning. Thank you Debbie for everything!(She even called us before our arrival to see how we weathered Hurricane Sandy) So very kind!!!

Heavenly

We enjoyed a great week in the house on Round Mountain. The house was about 15 miles from Brevard but convenient to Hendersonville, Cashier's, Highland, and Brevard. We visited them all but liked Brevard best as it was more laid back and fewer tourist.
We enjoyed coming back to the house in the late afternoon and having a glass of wine, relaxing in the hot tub on the lower deck and watching the sunset. The view off the rear deck was breathtaking. It was like being alone in the forest with no houses as far as we could see.
Our hostess neighbor was the best, she exceeded our expectations. We were awed by the view of the mountain ranges, our welcome note card, and gift. The description of the property is accurate but does not do justice to the beautiful and comfortable home. I will recommend this property to family and friends but not for the 3rd week in October 2013. We've re-booked.

Very Romantic Getaway

We had an absolutely amazing time there. The views were spectacular, the house is beautiful, and the little extra touches were great and unexpected. The description states that all you need are your clothes and main food products. They are not kidding. They have thought of everything you could want to make this a home away from home. The bed in the master bedroom is so comfortable that it felt like sleeping on a cloud. We enjoyed relaxing in the hot tub and watching the beautiful sunset. The humming birds were a constant source of delight, watching them chase each other. The only thing that was in the least bit disappointing was that we had to come home. We are already saving up to come back. Thanks Debbie for providing such an amazing place. The name says it all.
