Sweet and Cozy

This is a beautiful studio cottage on a larger farm. Our stay was great - quiet, easy, and relaxing. The cottage is nicely furnished with Texas accents in lovely shades of blue. The farm has lovely animals all around that you can watch while you drink coffee on the porch. The owners were super responsive. We were super happy with this comfy find.

Happy animal farm

Adorable clean cottage. Well stocked and comfortable. Lots of friendly animals- alpaca, emu, goats, ducks, chickens and a beautiful Tom turkey who follows you everywhere with his feathers fluffed. Owners are very friendly and give a very informative tour. Very quiet and peaceful with bright stars.

Blue Ridge Paradise

Absolutely a beautiful property. Very clean and so peaceful & relaxing. The night sky and stars were truly amazing, Not only the cabin was very clean, but the entire property as a farm was extremely clean too. Make sure to grab a picture of Tom. A royal Turkey and he knew how handsome he is, strutting about.

I can't wait to come back!

This was a great little place to stay! I loved the animals on the property, though I didn't get enough time to meet them all due to us having a track day in Anna. They have alpacas, an emu (maybe more than one but I only got to see one), turkeys, chickens, guinea fowl, and ducks from what I could see/hear for our small stay (7 hours). The hosts were great, provided some snacks and drinks in the fridge and if I stayed longer I would've also checked out their little farm store for eggs and honey and would've done a property tour. We plan to stay longer next time to enjoy the property and animals. The drive up to the house is gravel/rocks but I was able to pull a motorcycle trailer and my SUV without issues. I also really liked that they lit up the power line poles with little lights to help guide us down the driveway as we arrived after 10:30pm. The house where we stayed also was well insulated as I couldn't hear the roosters inside when they were crowing in the morning. The sky was beautiful as well, you can see the stars and constellations easily. The bed was soft and comfortable, too! Great little place and I'm glad I found this property so we can try to book it again when we are up here for track days.
