About this property
1940's Barn in Mountain Cove - Near DuPont Waterfalls & Hiking & Biking
Tucked in a "holler" amid hardwoods, rushing creeks, rhododendron, and a small stocked pond, is a converted cabin that began as a barn in the 1940's. "The Acorn" is part of our family's active homestead complete with chickens, fresh herbs, fishing (catch and release) & more.
The Acorn has been impeccably cleaned, insulated, painted, and outfitted with many modern amenities to make your stay quaint and comfortable. The den/dining/kitchen combo was the former barn, and the "sleeping lodge" - a super large room with a privacy partition - was built in the early 80's to serve as a private community library and to teach reading literacy.
Come stay Yonderways where the pace is relaxed, the mountain air fills your lungs and soul, and where the frogs and fireflies perform nightly from your private deck by a mountain stream.
Located 1/2 mile to Holmes Educational State Forest, and less than 5 miles to DuPont Forest. Centrally located between Hendersonville and Brevard, and only 15 minutes to Flat Rock, Pisgah Forest, and many other popular mountain attractions.

About the host

Why they chose this property
As corny as this sounds - we knew the moment we drove up to the property that we were "home", that we were to become the next stewards of this land even before laying eyes on the structures. We had been looking for approximately 15 years for the place we dreamed to have when we were so young. The approach was key - the long winding road into the property had us at "hello", but the other must haves were water - there are two rushing creeks, a pond, and a mountain stream, a guest cabin, and a small main structure, and lots of forest.
What makes this property unique
The property is located near all the natural mountain attractions: Waterfalls, hiking, mountain biking, horseback riding, fishing, tubing and more. Or should you desire, our little homestead (always a work in progress) is a destination in itself. We're looking forward to making your acquaintance!
