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.

I had a very nice, enjoyable stay here. It was neat seeing the chickens and ducks roam freely. I even got to help foster some kittens and mamma cat which was a lot of fun. Jami and Rachel were friendly and responsive. If you’re looking for a serene place to unwind I would highly recommend this place.

Thanks for sharing the property is quiet and clean. That is our main objective and what most people expect and desire. We were hit hard by hurricane Helene and still have some work to do on the property but none of that directly affects the experience. The chimney which was sealed off from the house years ago was damaged and does not affect the home,it needs to be removed and the downed tree will be removed when we have the funds but for now it’s a fun playground for the kitties.

This property was great! We are a family of 5 including 3 kids ages 10, 12, & 13. Our kids absolutely loved how much there was to do on site! They swam, fished, kayaked, and roasted marshmallows over the campfire after spending the days hiking at Mt. Mitchell and right off the Blue Ridge Parkway. There are so many animals to interact with. I fell in love with “Larry” the resident tom cat, and my daughter and I held kittens that the property owner brought over. They also had chickens that hung out eating in the yard and goats in their respective corral. It was perfectly relaxing. We would definitely book this property again.

Great place to relax

We had a great stay; the house was clean, comfortable, and well stocked with anything we needed. We also enjoyed the front porch, back patio area, the creek and pond on the property, and visiting with the goats and chickens. Easy drive to Asheville and really enjoyed being so close to the national forest. Very peaceful and relaxing, and we would definitely return.

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.
