About this property

Get away from it all in the mountains.

Please read the reviews, we work hard for those. This home is walking distance from Pisgah National Forest in Big Ivy Country. Surrounded by mountains, this valley does not disappoint. Come enjoy the beautiful views and the local horses, cows, goats, ducks and chickens. Sip coffee on the spacious front porch, paddle around the pond, or enjoy a yard game on the three spacious acres. At night, listen to the sounds of crickets and bullfrogs as you roast marshmallows by the fire. Star gazing is a must!!! The property has a small pond that is fed by a fresh water spring. Whether you feel like floating under the sun, paddling a kayak or taking a dip, come down to the dock and have a blast. If you would like to get out and about, there are many attractions just a short drive away. Zipline through the tree tops at Navitat Canopy Adventures (less than 10 miles away), enjoy a night out on the town in Downtown Asheville (19 miles away), or visit the famous Biltmore house(17 miles) in South Asheville. Whether you are looking for a restful weekend with family or a fun filled weekend with friends, this is the place for you! Our reviews say it best. Available for reunions and small gatherings. There is a rental cabin on the property as well. It is listed on VRBO at #2051655.

Quick Long Weekend visit

We had a last-minute trip and it was wonderful. The property was exactly as stated, and our host was responsive and kind. Would definitely stay there again. Our daughter loved the pond. We enjoyed the board games and just sitting on the porch.

Fantastic, Peaceful and Brilliant getaway!

We were in the area visiting land we recently purchased and could not have chosen a better place to experience the true beauty of Western North Carolina. The area is tranquil , the house was absolutely cozy as can be , and the owner could not have been more accommodating. 10/10!

Just fell in love

I rented this beautiful home for my parents 50th wedding anniversary to share with my children and their great grandchildren. Every day I heard how they just fell more in love with the magic of this home. So grateful to the host family for their kindness and for sharing their magic on earth with us!!!

Great Property Nice laid back location and Great Hosts

What more can be said. The home was nice and comfortable. Huge yard with a nice little pond with a floating dock. Very quiet area right next door to a farm and a horse ranch and Big Ivy forest right down the road. Get away from it all but still be close enough to the food and fun in Asheville and all that WNC has to offer.

Paradise for hiking and relaxing

The farmhouse was perfectly situated near tons of hiking and biking trails, large enough for our family + grandparents to enjoy comfortably, and complete with fresh eggs, wild blackberries (July) and goats and chickens for our 3 year old to get to know. Jami was an amazing host and really made us feel at home, we really didn't want to leave! Close enough to Weaverville for easy takeout or groceries, but far enough that you can really enjoy nature and a slower pace of life.

Wonderful weekend get away

We had a wonderful time and felt very welcomed and well cared for. It was great to be able to walk to beautiful hiking. The porch was a highlight, watching the animals, so quiet and private. We got to feed the goats (thank you for that!). It was a quick trip to Weaverville and Asheville for yummy meals. And having toys and movies stocked was a bonus! Our little girls enjoyed hitting the baseball and were introduced to Cinderella. Thank you for a fun and memorable long weekend!

Wedding trip to North Carolina

We had a wonderful experience staying at Jami and Rachel's place. Jami went above and beyond to accomodate our changing needs, she was so wonderful to work with. The farm is beautiful, we loved visiting the goats and other animals. We had fresh farm eggs in our refrigerator when we arrived which were very much appreciated. We spent our last two evening on the front porch, drinking wine, eating snacks, listening to music and watching the fireflies. So awesome!! If we're ever back in the area, we will be sure to stay here again!

Perfect mountain get-a-way!

We had a wonderful stay! Jami was extremely friendly and accommodating and we loved the farm fresh eggs she brought by. The home has everything you could need. The beds were very comfortable. Our family of four with kids ages 9 and 6 had a blast playing the games in the cabin...so many laughs playing twister. My kids loved seeing the animals, taking the kayaks in the lake, swinging on the hammock and playing corn hole. Easy access to Asheville and hiking. We loved the hike to Douglas Falls via Big Ivy- totally worth the long drive up the gravel road- that starts just off the property! We will certainly be back

Magical Gem - A Perfect Place

This is an exceptional property. My partner and I have been traveling for almost a year, staying in new spots almost every week, and this was the best stayed of our trip. The accommodations themselves are clean and wonderfully prepared: everything is in perfect working order - with character touches added all over. The larger property is a magical four acre plot with a mountain stream, a sizable pond, ducks, goats, chickens and all the other trappings. Jami and Rachel - the owners - are genuinely remarkable folks who authentically care about providing the best experience for their guests. The location is ideal: just a 25 minute trip to the city of Asheville, but also at the outskirts just enough so that one can feel the quiet of nature. They back right into the Pisgah National Forest, where there are beautiful hikes abound. Book this place. Book this place. Book this place.

Back to Nature

Husband, Golden Retriever and I road tripped it from Miami FL to experience the natural beauty and country hospitality of North Carolina. We were not disappointed. The property is blissfully secluded in a beautiful valley surrounded by farms. When we wanted a taste of “town” it was between 20 minutes to 40 minutes to drive go neighboring Weaverville, Asheville, Black Mountain, etc. All the hiking or scenic driving a person could want are close by. The house had all the comforts of home and we were in heaven. Our Golden also loved it though we had to keep a close eye on him to make sure the free roaming chickens stayed safe. Jami and Rachel’s friendliness and care helped make our experience. They were on hand at a moments notice if we needed anything or had any questions. We can’t wait to come back.

very well maintained wonderfully impressed

The picture looks just like the property but u really don't get the full amazing feeling of the place until u get there. Jamie has done an great job with this beautiful piece of property. The beds are new and very comfortable. My family and I like to cook in while on vacation and there was more then enough dish ware, pots and pans to cook a very nice meal. Clean to a T. The wonderful fresh eggs that Jamie gave us were delicious. The only thing that I would of changed is that I would of stayed longer. It is far enough away from Asheville to feel like your in the middle of nowhere yet close enough that it doesn't take long to be in the city. Right down the road is a beautiful water fall that u can hike to see . We spent christmas day hiking taking in nature and it is now our new christmas tradition. Also there is a big stackable washer and dryer that works very well. There was a tv but the wonderful way Jamie has the 2 counches set up there is no need to even turn on the tv. It is a great conversation room. I would highly recommend this little slice of heaven to anyone that is looking to just drop out and relax. I really look forward to returning in 2019. Thank u lea ocean

We understood the house was pretty basic. The property and location was lovely although took a bit of a beating from Helene. The area around the cabin was beautiful with a pretty horse paddock/farm just down the driveway. The trailhead at Big Ivy was closed but we found other amazing places to explore nearby. We climbed Big Butt trail (a high elevation trail in Pisgah national Forest), visited Bailey Mountain Preserve in Mars Hill, Rich Mountain Firetower (tough hike but soooo worth it!). We plan on returning to this cute sleepy mountain town again.

Peace and comfort

We had such an amazing two weeks at Jami's place, lounging in the hammock, watching the lightning bugs, and eating many a dinner al fresco. Our cat enjoyed watching the chickens and other cats on the property stopped by to say hello. The house was so well equipped, we wanted for nothing. Overall one of the dreamiest escapes to the woods we've ever had :)

Mountain farmhouse escape

Quaint older farmhouse nestled against the national forest and mountains was a nice get away. We were looking for a quiet weekend escape and it delivered. Located near end of road amongst farms so not a lot of traffic. Kids loved the animals and around the fire pit. Had just what we needed to explore the forest and hike the mountains. Owners were super responsive and communicative. Farm fresh eggs in fridge when we arrived were awesome! Note: previous reviews were concerned about well water smell - owners provided a Brita pitcher and took that sulfur hard water aroma away. Don't be concerned.

Thanksgiving family gathering

Jami and Rachel’s properties were perfect for our family. We rented both cabins. Jami was extremely helpful making sure we had everything we needed in the kitchen to prepare Thanksgiving dinner. The weather cooperated to allow us to enjoy the front porch, hammock in the sun and the fun swing while enjoying the peaceful views. The highlight for our granddaughter was helping Jami feed the chickens and goats. She even got to collect eggs from the chicken coop to have for breakfast! Thank you so much for your kind hospitality and sweet accommodations!
