Wonderful peaceful getaway tucked up in the mountains. Go watch Mars Hill University Lions football then spend a day in Asheville or just stay for the hot tub and outdoor fire pit.

Amazing hosts! Amazing accomodations! Beautiful farmhouse stocked with everything anyone could ever need. Clean and tastefully appointed. Quiet and serene. Our grandkids loved the animals on the farm which is in walking distance of the farmhouse. Could never ask for a better experience! We are so very thankful to Donna and Glenn.

Payne’s cottage is a magical spot. Absolutely had everything we needed. Getting to walk the beautiful property and go see the peacocks and goats and donkey and pigs (and cat) is just a delight. The outdoor areas are the perfect spot to start in the day. The hosts were very responsive. Look forward to being able to go and stay there again hopefully for a longer period of time.

The house is beautifully restored and well appointed. We did visit the animals and had great fun feeding the goats and pigs. If you're looking for a quiet retreat nestled in the bucolic scenery of the southern Appalachians, this is it! The kitchen is very well appointed. The living room is spacious and the beds are comfy and cozy.

The hosts are great and the home is amazing. 20 minutes from downtown Asheville and 30 to Black Mountain. This was our 2nd stay here and hope to do many more in the coming years.

Glenn and Donna truly went above and beyond to make our stay feel special — not just comfortable, but genuinely magical. Their property is something else entirely: a charming little animal sanctuary nestled within a beautiful, sprawling landscape just waiting to be explored. Every corner of the home was immaculate, and you could tell that real care and thought had gone into every single detail. We left feeling like we’d stumbled onto something rare. Highly recommend.

We booked this house for a birthday vacation and it was exactly what we needed. The property sits on beautiful acreage, so it felt peaceful and tucked away, yet close enough to town that we never felt too far from anything. The house was cozy, and had everything we needed. We loved waking up to the quiet countryside and ending the day in the hottub. The host was communicative and made check-in super easy. Would absolutely stay here again next time we’re in the Asheville area!

Comfort in the Country

Our family of four so enjoyed our getaway. The home is clean, spacious, thoughtfully updated, and comfortable. We had everything we needed and more. I slept better than I have in ages and I hope we get to visit again.

Very clean home. Love the decor. Love the soaking tub! Has plenty of land to hike and loved the farm with all the animals!!! Plenty of space to park. Would definitely come back with family or friends. Close to biltmore and downtown Asheville but just far enough for that country feel. The Hosts were great!

Amazing get away

This house was perfect for the adults in our family to escape the rat race. From having coffee on the back patio every morning to drinks in the hot tub under the stars, it was amazing. We had everything we needed for a week of relaxation. We loved it so much that we will be back very soon.

Perfect and Exactly as Advertised

This property was exactly as advertised. Everything was clean and the hosts were easy to communicate with. The house is located a little out of the way, but that was what we were looking for. During our trip, we visited the Great Smokies and Asheville, and the property location made it easy to do both.
