About this property

Cozy Country Loft Cottage in the NC Mountains. No added fees.

Enter the Blue Ridge and Great Smoky Mountains and leave the commotion of the inner city, urban life to enjoy the serenity of a horse farm (you will have the whole cottage to yourself). Central to all the mountains offer. Close to several Event Venues and Asheville, NC. Location makes a great Basecamp for all the indoor and outdoor adventures of the mountains: hiking, waterfalls, ziplining, white water rafting, canoeing, and kayaking limited only by your imagination.

Located 8 miles from Asheville with exceptional local music, street fairs, history, museums, guided tours, Biltmore Estate, and eclectic downtown to shop local artists.
Please see our Guests' comments.

The barn loft overlooks the farm and is roomy with queen bed, full size sleeper sofa, full kitchen, private deck on a gated property with horses, large pond and mountain views. I live here because I love the lifestyle and know you will be entranced.

The host imposes no additional fees or charges. Any additional fees other than the listed prices are imposed by VRBO or state and county taxes. As hosts we provide clean, disinfected rooms and service, privacy and respect. In return, our guests care for and leave the cottage in good condition.

Disappointed and dissatisfied

Property was not what we expected. It was essentially a room above a functioning stable. The smell of the barn did fragrances the room so we had to make a hasty retreat. The bedroom linen seemed old and unhygienic. The towels and wash rags left much to be desired. We could not stay in such conditions and spent the time elsewhere.We wish for a refund.

Cozy Base For Mountain Adventure

This place is perfect for a family of four. The listing is spot on, the directions/instructions are very helpful, and the owner is wonderful. This spot is perfectly situated to go into Asheville or see the surrounding area. There are two sweet horses and a precious donkey. You can pet them or just watch them. The owner is very approachable and is a wealth of knowledge and insight. Would definitely consider staying here again.

Relaxing weekend getaway

We loved the country setting so close to Asheville. The farm and surrounding mountains were beautiful, peaceful, and healing. Laurie provided privacy and security in this comfortable space. We literally wanted a safe, quiet place to rest when we weren’t sightseeing, and that’s what we got! Deck sitting at night was one of favorite things.

Beautiful Country Setting

Our host, Laurie, was vey kind and friendly. She helped us find some hikes we were looking for, which turned out to be outstanding sights. Then coming back to a VRBO that was a quiet, beautiful country setting help make the day complete. Having the horses in the near by paddock added to whole scene.
