What an amazing stay! Debbie and Craig are great and accommodating hosts and their property is one of a kind. The house was great and fit my family really well. All of the farm animals are very friendly and great activity for the kids. Debbie was especially friendly and ensuring we had everything we needed. Will stay again next time in the area and highly recommend for others to stay here.

This was our 7th annual visit, so needless to say..we love this place! Our 3 grandsons, ages 10, 8 and 3 are growing up with Cherry Mountain Farm as their favorite vacation destination, but feels like our home away from home! There is something new every year…we loved meeting Raven and feeding her carrots..she was so sweet and gentle..especially with the 3 y/o, but they also look forward to seeing their old buddies, Frick and Frack, the mini horses, the goats and always, all the dogs…which our dogs love playing with, as well. I personally could spend most of my time on the beautiful porch and watch the world go by. Debbi and Craig have made this a little slice of heaven…for all ages!

A truly wonderful farm stay experience. The home is absolutely lovely as are the hosts. We would stay again in a heartbeat. Everything has been thought of from a well-stocked kitchen to spare toothbrushes. All the personal touches really made us feel welcome. Our children adored the animals & we really appreciated Debbi's time giving us a tour.

This is our second year coming to Cherry Mountain Farm! The farm animals drew us in the first time but our whole experience was 10/10 and we couldn't wait to return. It is our favorite family vacation spot (especially for our dog). Craig and Debbi are wonderful hosts and the accommodations are beautiful. The house is fully stocked and we cooked-in for the majority of our meals. The General Store on property is very convenient and has unique gifts and snacks. If you are looking for a relaxing vacation with beautiful views and fun excursions you will love Cherry Mountain!

Our stay at Cherry Mountain Farm was extraordinary!! It was more than we dreamed it could be! Our host, Debbi, went above and beyond to make sure that our stay was perfect in every way! The house was amazing! A work of art...and one that held many works of art, from beautiful watercolor paintings to incredible metal works! The furnishings are lovely and comfy and the kitchen is stocked with everything you need.As charming as the inside was, I could have lived on the front porch! The first morning we were there I watched the sunrise over the mountains. The sounds of the farm were the background melody. The view of the miniature horses, the Angora goats, the pigs, and their new horse Raven was a sight to behold. Our grandchildren visited us there and Debbi treated them like royalty! She encouraged them to engage with all of the animals, allowing them to brush and feed them, as well as teaching them so much about the animals and life on the farm. They loved the train ride! Also, a highlight was the General Store filled with all the candies of times gone by and such fun merchandise. We had to return multiple times for apple slushies and caramel apple cookies!We will return to Cherry Mountain Farm...for day visits and to stay!

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.

If I could give this rental more stars I would. Everything was done to perfection. The home was top notch, every room was spic and span. Our dog LOVED the large fenced in yard but mostly loved lounging on the large porch with Mom & Dad overlooking the farm. The kitchen was well stocked with all the tools you could possibly need. When the grands visited they enjoyed brushing the pigs and meeting the new addition-Raven the horse. Then the grands went on to feed the goats as well as mining for gems. Now to mention the general store. It is stocked with unique quality items from bib overalls, glass sun tea containers, jams, ICE CREAM, and Case knives, etc.Forest City is nearby with restaurants, an arcade museum and a grocery store. There is plenty to do from zip lining, hiking and shopping. But the best part of the rental was the staff. Everyone made you feel welcomed and was willing to help with any questions you may have. The only problem with giving such a glowing review is that the house may be booked the next time we want to rent. We will be back!
