John was an amazing host. We’ve been coming to Brevard our whole life as a family and everytime we’ve come we have visited O.P. Taylor’s toy stone. So it was like meeting Willy Wonka to get to stay in John Taylor's Big Game House!! He was so gracious to let our children meet him, and he communicated so well. We loved playing Ping Pong, Bumper pool, sitting in the hot tub, walking to downtown, playing games, watching movies, grilling out. It about first time staying in the downtown area, and we hope to stay here again!

This is the third time that we have rented this house in Brevard. We keep on coming back because the host is great and the house is cozy with lots of fun things to do. If you love family fun and lots of games this is the perfect house to rent. Personally I love the beds as they are comfy and cozy. John and his wife are very kind and always communicate quickly. Five stars all around. Thank you!

What a wonderful experience! First my first message with the owner his replies were very quick and helpful. The house was well stocked! We used all 5 of the beds, and they all proved comfortable. Great hot tub! Bathrooms and kitchen had everything we needed. Wonderful seating on the back deck which we took full advantage of! All communication was easy. House had LOTS of games! Would stay there again should the occasion arise. Highly recommend!

The owner was helpful and communicative ahead of and during our stay. The hot tub was clean and ready to go when we arrived, and the kids loved playing all the games available at the house. We walked to breakfast and dinner in Brevard, and the walk was short enough that our kids (ages 5-9) didn't complain! The beds were comfortable. We had a great time and would definitely consider staying again.

Perfect place if you are looking to enjoy Brevard. A few blocks from downtown so walking is an option. House clean and kitchen was so well stocked with everything you could possibly need. In the game room there were games galore for all ages. Beds very comfortable with quality sheets. Host left a few welcome tokens and warmed up the hot tub prior to our arrival. Plenty of parking. Definitely a place to return to next time.
