DogWoods Retreat

Our two rescue golden retrievers took us to the White Squirrel Cabin at DogWoods Retreat! We could not have been happier. Fantastic cabin; spotless, comfortable, quiet, cozy, a ramp into the fenced in yard, fireplace, and so peaceful. We did not want to leave. Nan and Will guided us to the cabin as we arrived in the dark...the cabin was PERFECT! Thank you Nan and Will for making this journey unforgettable and we will be back soon!

This was the perfect cabin (Tree Frog) for my dog reactive boy Porter. Quiet, safe, all of the amenities. I am so happy with the decision to come stay here. Well worth the 10+ hour drive from Michigan! We were not only provided an amazing cabin, but a written snapshot of all of the appropriate trails and places that would work for my boy. I HIGHLY recommend DWR as a dog mom, and fellow certified positive trainer. Still speechless.

My wife and I and our Australian Shepherd stayed in the DogWoods Retreat Tree Frog cabin the week of July 25, 2020. We could not have been happier.nnTHE CABIN AND CLEANLINESSnnThe cabin was in perfect condition, exactly as shown on their website. It was spotlessly cleaned and fresh as could be. You would not even know they host dogs in the cabin – not a spec of dog fur was to be found. Even if you do not have a dog, this would is a wonderful place to stay. Will and Sylvia do a great job readying the place for visitors!nnThe beds were memory foam beds, extremely comfortable, and the bed linens were very nice. We slept great. There were extra blankets and linens in the closets, and there were plenty of towels. High speed wifi worked great. Two TVs with Dish TV. The kitchen was fully stocked with dishes, utensils, cookware, and appliances - everything needed for a nice week’s stay. There was also a Weber charcoal grill that we used a couple of times! The hot tub was clean and worked great, and a welcome amenity after a long day of hiking. We did not use the fireplace (summer), but it looked great and would be wonderful in the winter.nnThe yard was big and fully fenced. They even fenced in crawl spaces (e.g., under stairs) to ensure your pooch cannot escape.nnCOMMUNICATIONnnNan was great at communicating with us at every step of the reservation and check out processes. She was very responsive when we texted with questions while there. She even sends a very helpful email with details on local supplies shopping and activities.nnTHE AREAnnThe cabins are all on Cantrell Mountain. They are about a 12 minute drive to downtown Brevard. These cabins are centrally located to all of the places one would want to visit – Brevard (downtown), Pisgah National Forest, DuPont State Park, the Highlands/Cashiers, Chimney Rock State Park, and the Biltmore. If you’re looking to visit some or all of these places, then DogWoods Retreat is the ideal location to stay.nnDOG FRIENDLINESSnnWe could not have been happier with the dog friendliness of DogWoods Retreat. The yard was fully fenced. Dog bowls, beds and towels were provided. There is an outdoor water spigot with a short hose to wash your pup if you get muddy on a hike (our dog was muddy on one day, and we washed him outside – perfect)!nnCONCLUSIONnnWe loved this place, and so did our dog. Nan and Will do a fantastic job, and we could not recommend DogWoods Retreat more highly!

Best pet friendly retreat, I highly recommend
