We really enjoyed this cozy cottage. The scenery and peaceful location were perfect. It was wonderful to be able to come back after a long day of touring and be able to relax in the hot tub and look out at the beautiful pastures.
It was the perfect location for relaxing with nature and counting your blessings with family. Everything we needed was well supplied. Location was perfect. I would definitely suggest it is a retreat you will share and develop the best memories.
This was a fantastic place to stay! It was clean, comfortable, well supplied, the host was just sweet! After long days walking through the Biltmore Mansion - dropping into the hot tub for body relief was wonderful. The peace we felt filling this place was totally balm to the soul. We loved seeing the horses and enjoying quiet walks around the property. I give this the highest recommendation!
Great property, clan and perfectly located to go to Asheville and Biltmore. We really enjoyed our stay in the peaceful environment, surrounded by horses.
This was such a beautiful place to stay. Country setting but not far from town. Everything was wonderful. My granddaughter loved the horses there. They have everything you could need at their place. They were very friendly and excellent of returning messages. I would definitely stay here again
The house was very charming, the scenery was excellent, and it has everything you will need for a stay. Expect some owner visits to make sure you have everything you need. They have some beautiful animals and a wonderful place, they want to make sure the tenants have everything. We accidentally left clothes in the dryer and the owner shipped them to us. We will definitely be back and be sure to not leave anything. This is a great place to be in this world.
Cottage is a great place to stay. Can be anywhere in about 15 minutes. We had two adult couples and the space was perfect. A beautiful family horse farm!
Terri is a great host. Everything was clean and ready to use. We loved strolling around in the evening and enjoying watching the horses. It was the perfect spot for our week of activities in the Asheville/Hendersonville area. It was great to rent a house that everything worked and was trouble free.
Absolutely beautiful to wake up to birds chirping and horses in the pasture. Fishing and laughing with my husband was great. Rhis place gave us calm and relaxation. The hot tub was a great addition.
Didn’t spend a lot of time at the property, but when we did it was nice and relaxing! Hot tub felt great after a day of walking around the Biltmore, and the horses and wildlife were so enjoyable. Would definitely stay again!
We always enjoy our stay at the horse farm. Sitting in the hot tub watching the horses or the night sky is the perfect way to end a day. The fresh eggs are a nice touch.
If you're looking for a place to relax and feel semi-secluded, this is great! The farm feel with horses, barn and pasture that are close enough to enjoy made this a fun and relaxing get-away.
We really enjoyed our stay. It was perfect for the two of us. Just close enough to Asheville that we could enjoy all the quaint town has to offer. We would definitely stay again.
We absolutely loved this property and would definitely return to it.

About the host
Hosted by Terri
Growing up on the original 103 acre farm, Terri has a true passion for what she and her husband of 35 years have ventured into. Though the farm has dwindled in size, Clay and Terri Vick still maintain and operate 17 acres as a horse boarding facility, keeping their own horses as well. Realizing horses were going to be a huge part of our lives we created Willow Pond Stables 28 years ago. Now we are excited to offer A Cottage at Willow Pond for others to share our joy in this wonderful place we live.
Why they chose this property
The house has been part of the family for 50 + years. Terri's grandfather raised a large family on this farm. It was his wish to continue to have horses and family here. He would be pleased to know people can come enjoy what he started.
What makes this property unique
Off the beaten path, yet so close to all conveniences. Nestled in a beautiful valley, horses all around the property. Enjoy nature at its finest, fox, deer, frogs, fish, and occasionally a duck in the pond. Sounds of horses grazing just outside the front door. Goats, cat, chickens, miniature horse, and donkeys are on the property too! Only 5 minutes to restaurants, gas, movies, grocery and shopping.
