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!

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!

An extended Birthday weekend was needed for my lovely lady. After a quick review of the information and her approval we booked the over the top rental of this property. You will not believe what is there. Hosts are perfect and caring. We will be going back later this year and years to come.

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!

Lovely farmhouse

Surprisingly lovely farmhouse that was clean and well appointed. Pictures online give a good first impression but seeing the property and grounds in person it really is even better than you expect. We will definitely return soon. The hosts, Debbi and Craig, are good at communicating and anticipating your needs while in their home. They have daily supplies on hand and home is very comfortable. We invited family that live in a town nearby and we all enjoyed our time together in this home each day.It was very cold with even some snow showers during our week so staying inside was no loss (and holding our new grandson constantly was a daily joy)! Not only the home itself but the farm and the store on the property are a plus! Loved watching the farm activities from the windows and during our chilly stroll through the property. My husband was tickled about the Case knives for sale at the country store. Something for everyone in the store and something for everyone to enjoy during your stay. Recommend this property to all! Thanks Debbi and Craig! We will see you again soon! : )

About the host

Hosted by Debbi Stanfield

Host profile image
I am originally from Queens New York , lived in
St. Louis MO and Rochester NY before working in South Florida for 30 years before retiring and building our dream farm in Western North Carolina. I worked as a Pediatric ICU Nurse then transitioned to medical sales . My husband grew up in W. Palm Beach and retired as a Captain with the Town of Palm Beach Fire Dept in 2012. His family roots were from Burlington/Greensboro/Mebane area of NC but we wanted to be closer to the mountains so we settled in the Foothills . Craig's creativity can be seen all over the farm and it really makes this place unique. I do the farm tours and manage all the animal care and love to talk with our visitors. No matter where our visitors come from we find we always have something in common. We love living in the area and sharing our little slice of heaven with visitors.

Why they chose this property

This is such a great area and is close to so many fun things to do. We are less than 30 minutes from Tryon International Equestrian Center, waterfalls, hiking, lots of cool towns close by, etc. Our timber frame guest house offers a very warm and inviting space for you to enjoy our beautiful farm or as your resting place after touring the area. We bought the property in 2007 and the only thing on it was an 8 acre hayfield so everything you see , we have done.
It's a great place for kids since they have lots of room and we are pet friendly so our yard is perfect for dog (s) ...only 2 please. Many of our guests feel no need to leave the farm other than for basic needs. We're fortunate to have great internet and a fun store and friendly animals. You will have a beautiful fire pit and a nice grilled hooked up to an underground tank so we don't have to worry about you running out of gas in the middle of grilling! Easy access in and no scary roads to navigate at night.
There are 4 grocery store ( Food Lion, Aldi's, Walmart ( they deliver) and Ingles) 10-15 minutes away and 2 neighborhood stores for basics, pizza , ice cream, soda, etc within 5 minutes. Gas station within 5
minutes from farm. Easy drive to Tryon, Columbus, Morganton, Forest City and Spindale.

What makes this property unique

The sounds and sights of our farm will make you want to come back again! Our animals enjoy visitors, and so do we! If you want to be left alone, we know how to do that! This is a working farm and you have freedom to walk around and visit the animals. There is a mile and 1/3 trail through the woods for your morning or evening walks and plenty of other areas to explore. We are really proud of our great reviews and will always make sure you will not be disappointed with your stay at Cherry Mountain Farm!
