About this property

The Farmhouse Retreat- Come experience life on a farm! Spring is Here!

Have you ever wondered what it’s like waking up in the morning and having a farm right outside your front door? Then look no further then the farmhouse retreat on our private 44 acre hobby farm! The 3bed/2bath family style home sits at the very front of our property over looking our many pastures of animals and the garden! Imagine sitting on the front porch in the morning enjoying your coffee listening to all the birds sing and watching the goats play, the chickens hunt for bugs to eat or the emu taking a bath in the creek. The personalities and characteristics of our wide variety of animals are sure to keep you entertained all day long without ever leaving!! We also love to give farm tours & will allow guests to get a more Hands on experience here on the farm!

We created the farmhouse retreat to feel like a home away from home wether you’re in town on business or looking for a place to escape with the family and spend quality time together. The house features a primary bedroom with a king size bed(sleeps 2) a second bedroom that has a queen and full size bed(sleeps 4) with a full bath attached & the last bedroom that has a full size bunk bed over a full size bed that is able to sleep 2-4 people depending on the weight limit of the top bunk that holds 200lbs max capacity. The large sectional could also sleep up to 2 people comfortably depending on the size of your group! The rental house is only the main floor and DOES NOT include the basement that is attached. The basement is used for storage & will not be accessed by us during any rental stays unless previously approved by the current guest. We use exterior ring cameras on the property One looking at the front entrance to the property and another looking over the animals. This is for the safety of our animals & guests.

We like to think that we are located perfectly in the middle of everything you may want to do or see on your stay to the area. Located right in the middle of apple country (apple szn June- Oct.) We are centered in between chimney rock & downtown hendersonville 20 minutes driving in each direction. The Asheville regional airport is only 27 minutes away. The famous biltmore house is a 30 minute drive. Other local places close in proximity to our house is the gorgeous point lookout winery just a 4 minutes drive. The blackberry vineyard across the street from us grows the most gorgeous palm sized blackberries (spring seasonal) Just 5 minutes down the road we have Danny’s fish’n’camp where you can catch your choice of trout or catfish & fishing pole rentals on site. Directly next door to Danny’s is black bear snow tubing! This is a very popular family fun activity to do during winter season. We are surrounded by the blue ridge mountains, the parkway only and hour drive away! The great Smokey mountains and Gatlinburg only 2 hours away. So many Historic places, breathtaking hiking spots, waterfalls and much much more all jammed packed within an hours driving distance from this house. We go a lot more in-depth with things to do, places to see, where to shop and so much more in our in home welcome guidebook!

Pet rules:
-$50 pet fee paid before arrival
-all animals must be on a leash when outside.
-no unattended pets left alone in the house without being in a crate. We have some to borrow. Please let us know in advance if you need one.

We look forward to sharing our slice of heaven with y’all!

Home on the Range
This property was as advertised. Communication with the owners was excellent. Check-in was a breeze. We found our home clean and stocked better than most. The animals were delightful and the farm setting peaceful. The central HVAC unit worked well. The beds and pillows were quite comfortable. Pet friendly was truly appreciated. We found the price point of this home appropriate and affordable. We would rent again if in the Hendersonville/Lake Lure area.

We had a wonderful time! Great location, very clean, easy check-in and check-out process. Loved the black out curtains. Haha, you don’t realize how important those are till you have kids. We also got to enjoy the farm and our kids pet and fed all the cute animals. Fantastic and unique view to wake up to. We will stay there again in a heartbeat!

Great stay on the farm!
We had a great stay. Accommodated my family of 10 very well. Minnie, the dog greeted us almost every day! Very sweet! We visited family, went hiking, and snowboarding! The kids had a blast! All within a short drive. Would love to do it again!!

Perfect family togetherness spot!
The property was clean and well-stocked, the host accomodating, and the description accurate. Can't believe we were able to do so much close by and have the option to come "home" and re-group so easily. So happy with our exerpeince!

Hello my name is Jonathan Graef.
My wife Tonya and I were lucky enough to purchase this 44 acre homestead. We turned the house on the front of our property into a short term rental stay to share our farm with others!

Why they chose this property

On our working farm we have a variety of different animals ranging from Goats, chickens, a goose, turkey, ducks, rabbits, mini donkeys, horses, cows, and our livestock guardian dog. We offer our guests to have an up close and personal experience with some of the animals!

What makes this property unique

pure peacefulness of nature and animals.
