We enjoyed our stay at the farm. The house and property are beautiful. The host met us upon arrival and was available if there were any questions. Furnishings in the house were comfortable and the house was clean (which is very important to us). We enjoyed our visit to the General Store which is located on the property and seeing the animals on the farm.

WOW....This property was a perfect solution to getting away from our busy lives. I was looking for a place for my wife and me to enjoy our anniversary, to relax and unwind, and a place that our two dogs could enjoy some time away from home. I can't say enough good things about the owner, Debbi, who was as good a host as we could have hoped for. The property is beautiful! The home sits up on a hill, and the covered back porch overlooks a large fenced backyard that our two dogs loved. From the back porch, you can see all of the farm animals and the Cherry Mountain General Store. The home is very tastefully decorated, and the downstairs bed was very comfortable. There is also an upstairs bedroom and bath for additional guests. If you are an animal lover, this place is paradise. Dogs, sheep, pigs, ponies, and more dogs! The owners have an animal farm on the adjacent property that I would encourage visitors to experience. The owner, Debbi, is one of the friendliest and most welcoming hosts that anyone could ever ask for. She is attentive to whatever your needs may be and goes out of her way to make sure you enjoy your stay. We plan on returning to Cherry Mountain Farm with some of our family in the near future. We know our kids and grandkids will love this place! Thank you Debbi for making this the most relaxing anniversary ever!

Actually my sister and friend stayed at the farm and they really enjoyed it. My husband and I visited them every day and they always had a new story to tell ! Debbie is a gem and we all had lots of fun conversations and a fantastic tour of the farm and animals. I would highly recommend staying here in beautiful Rutherford County. Oh the shop is a treasure trove.

Our pup loved the fenced in yard!! We started every morning with coffee on the porch while we watched the sunrise. Debbi was and is a true joy! You don’t meet many people like her, during our farm tour she spoke as if we were family not strangers. We do hope to find some time to make it back and see how much things have changed!

We had such at great time at the farmhouse! Our hosts were very gracious with their time. Mrs. Debbi showed our three little girls around the farm, letting them walk the miniature horses, groom the horses, feed a pumpkin to the pigs, and so much more. She even let a couple of her dogs play with our dog in the large fenced yard. All the animals on the farm were super sweet and gentle with the girls. The house has everything you need and is absolutely beautiful inside. Our girls also loved exploring the little country store on the property. It is also very conveniently located for those visiting The Biltmore or Forest City for the Christmas lights. We cannot say enough of good things about our visit to the farm!

A Tranquil Stay on a Beautiful Property

We absolutely loved every aspect of our stay. Debbi was warm and inviting, the cabin was incredible, and the property beautiful. We truly enjoyed being able to bring our dogs with us and they loved the huge fenced in yard and watching the kunekune! Debbi gave us a personal tour of the cabin, the property and her lovely farm. We had fun feeding peanuts to the Angora Goats, giving belly rubs to the pigs, and playing with Sadie, Tank and Eli! We cannot rate this property more highly and look forward to our next visit!

This is my 4th visit to Debbie and Craig’s beautiful farm. The house is beautiful and you have everything you might need . Comfy beds,Beautiful bathrooms and fully stocked kitchen. The front porch is perfect for reading or just watching all the animals in their pastures. Frick and Frack, the pigs were our favorites! So adorable and friendly. The gift shop on the property is wonderful-lots of unique things you don’t find everywhere. We did some early Christmas shopping Debbie is a fantastic host, so friendly and knowledgeable about all her animals. The animals all have names, and she knows each one. She treated us like family and took the time to introduce us to all the animals…we had a blast, and will definitely be back soon.Thank you again Debbie and Craig for allowing us to stay in your beautiful house and for all your hospitality!
