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!

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!

Fabulous 5 star experiene! Wonderful house and staff

Beautiful property. Guest house is first class. Debbie and Craig (owners) are wonderful people. Our dog loved it here also. The General Store has unique items for sale and also an extraordinary Case knife collection for sale. There are fantastic wineries nearby, and a great store for food shopping (Ingles) less than 30 mins from here. We will be back!

Farmlife Fantasy come true

To say that we were delighted with out stay is an understatement. Debbi is the most wonderful host and the sweetest person. She took so much time to show us around and introduce us to the lovely animals. Our kids still talk about Spirit and the Mini horses all the time. And dont even get me started on the house! It does not get any more beautiful. Everything is very high end and perfectly clean. The General Store is dreamy!!! Try the carrot cake ice cream and enjoy the Gem Mine. Thank you so much for your generosity and hospitality. If we did not live halfway across the globe, you would see us all the time 3 we truly hope to be back!

The perfect getaway..something for every age!

This is our 6th consecutive year at the farm and the kiddos & adults have never been disappointed! Debbi & Craig always create something new every year and their country store always has some new items. But we especially look forward to seeing all the animals that we’ve petted, cuddled, fed over the years. You will not be disappointed with this property….so much to experience!

Relaxing Retreat

We had a wonderful time at the property. The hosts are nearby, but give you your space. The house overlooks the farm store and the farm. It was nice to sit on the large porch and look out in the fields and see the goats in the distance and the piggies and the beautiful horse, Spirit. We took a farm tour with some other friends who were in the area and the everyone loved it, the kids especially because they got to pet the animals. The house has everything you need to get comfy and cozy. If we are back in the area we will be sure to stay here again.

Peaceful & Fun Farmhouse Stay

My hubby and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Cherry Mountain Farm. The house was beautiful, cozy and very well appointed and Debbi was a lovely host. Very warm and communicative during our stay. We really loved our tour of the farm and getting to meet all the animals. Debbi has a passion for her animals and it really shows. We got some rain during our visit and it made for the perfect day to stay in and relax in the lovely surroundings. We could not recommend it more if you want a great place to get away. We left feeling very well taken care of and with new friends. We look forward to coming back.

Perfect family weekend vacation!

Debbi's farm and guest house was recommended to us by a friend and it exceeded expectations. The house was wonderful, very clean, and well-equipped. The property was beautiful, the October weather was great, and Debbi and Craig were excellent hosts. Our young boys loved exploring the trail in the woods, visiting with the animals, and checking out the general store. 30 minute-1 hour drive to all kinds of mountain activities (hiking, apple orchards, gem mining, etc,). We hope to visit again soon.
