Cummings Cove is located near the center of a triangle formed by
three cities occupying a high plateau in
Western North Carolina: Hendersonville, Asheville and Brevard. Although we are closest to Hendersonville
- just 8 miles from downtown -
Brevard is just a 20 minute drive
and Asheville less than 30 minutes.
Each of the three cities has a
distinctive personality and charm
that lends great variety to the
range of things to see and do
outside the gates of Cummings Cove.
