This place is adorable! While it's a little drive to most tourist attractions, the quiet country setting is ideal. Fresh eggs in the fridge was a sweet surprise!If I had any issue at all, the beds were a bit hard for my personal preference. But, that's just me.All in all, a great place to stay!

A magical farm stay we didn't want to leave!We were so reluctant to leave this place! From the moment we arrived, we were breathing in fresh air and pure peace, greeted with farm-fresh eggs in the fridge (and loved being able to buy more during our stay).Every evening we watched dozens of fireflies light up like little earth fireworks — pure magic. We saw the horses daily and will truly miss them, plus got to say hi to the goats and miniature horse too!The cottage was beautiful and had everything we needed, felt just like home. After busy days exploring downtown Asheville or the Biltmore House, the hot tub was the perfect way to unwind.Terri was an amazing host, always helpful and communicative. This stay was unforgettable and we'll definitely be back!Highly recommend for a peaceful, charming farm getaway.

I brought my mom to this amazing home for a late surprise Mother’s Day weekend. She was excited and well impressed with the house, the grounds (being able to see and pet the horses), and her favorite… the hot tub. On the way home she was raving to anyone that would listen how magical the house was. Thank you for allowing me to give back to my mom as she’s always given me so much. We will definitely return in the future!

Everything was super clean neat the kitchen had everything you could possibly need though we didn't really use the kitchen. Plenty of towels and there were even towels specifically for the hot tub. It was nice to sit under the stars and listen to Nature while soaking in the hot tub. Super close to restaurants, shopping, hwy and groceries.

The home was very well appointed and very clean. So many extras that the owners thought of were very nice. The location was great too. It felt private and secluded but was really easy to get to everything, Asheville and Hendersonville. Communication and info in the house was great.

Terri is a great host. Everything was clean and ready to use. We loved strolling around in the evening and enjoying watching the horses. It was the perfect spot for our week of activities in the Asheville/Hendersonville area. It was great to rent a house that everything worked and was trouble free.
