Brevard, NC is a compact, outdoors-focused mountain town with immediate access to Pisgah National Forest and DuPont State Recreational Forest — think world-class hiking, dozens of waterfalls, mountain biking and swimming holes plus a small but lively downtown that keeps multi-week stays active and restorative.
You’re also within easy reach of Asheville (about a 35–40 mile drive) and Hendersonville, so bigger-city dining, arts, and medical centers are a short trip if you want more options during longer contracts.
