If you love whimsical, a fully stocked, comfortable, and very quiet cottage, except for the birds, tree frogs and the river, this is as close to heaven as you can get! Carmen and Jim are very kind and helpful. So many wonderful little towns nearby and waterfalls and hiking in abundance.

Peaceful Easy Feeling

Carman and Jim’s cottage was the perfect getaway for me and my husband. So many sweet touches in the house we were welcomed with fresh flowers all over and a wonderful pound cake. Gym and Carman gave really great tips about things to do around the town and directions to their favorite waterfall really a must see it was so much fun to discover all the waterfalls and little walks around the house And sitting on the porch watching the enormous variety of birds that come to the birdfeeder. It was truly magical.

The waterfalls were so lovely and the swing up by them was an extra bonus. Waking up in the morning and here the bird and feeding them was awesome. The cover porch was a great place to enjoy my morning coffee. I had an amazing time. I hope to book again

A Quick Zen Getaway

This property was perfect for a quick weekend getaway. As autumn approaches, this was a great spot to sit in rocking chairs on the porch, watch the birds, and take in the distance peaks of the mountains. A lovely, quaint cottage with hiking and water feature on the property, plus quick access to lovely trails and waterfalls nearby.

About the host

Hosted by Jim and Carman

Host profile image
Welcome to Roberson family farm. I was launched into the culinary field both in education and career.by Univ. of GA.
In 1997, I returned to the homestead to care for my Mother and to fashion the next chapter of my life. I purchased the building and moved it to the site and set about making it a haven for myself. After Mother passed, I tackled the original farmhouse eventually moving in there when Jim retired and moved to the farm.
I am deeply connected to this land, this area, this paradise. There is much maintenance on a farm this size and of course one must pay the "taxes on Tara" I had thought to sell some acreage, but the realtor I was working with suggested VRBO and thus began my newest career. It is my dream to pass along the farm to my beautiful and talented and daughters. It is a blessing to share homecoming with my children, grandchildren and friends. I feel the land calling to me, I hear the word enduring, I hear my Mother playing the fiddle, and I hear my Dad calling "Baby Snooks" time to come in.
The preparation for inviting guest to the cottage opened my eyes to the abundance of flora and fauna, the natural beauty that surrounds us. Blooming abundantly are wildflowers, wild herbs, berries-black berries, wild black raspberries , elderberries, wild blueberries, and black walnuts trees. Deer, wild turkey, rabbits, grouse and occasional bear can be seen.
There are nights when the cottage is empty, so Jim and I take advantage and enjoy the night coming down, the moon rises, and the river sparkles and its quiet and there is peace

Why they chose this property

This is a piece of paradise chosen by Carman's family Wonderful family farm with some of the original out buildings Carman has a deep roots and abiding love of the surroundings natural beauty. Jim also comes from a farming family background. Jim is captain of the Honey Do List.The cottage is part of the family farm Take a walk on the milder side; an easy stroll through nature. Our nature trails is a great place to find a lot of solitude and fresh air. You can see the stars at night. The natural landscape is beautiful, especially in the spring, when the returning coaxes every shade of green is, imaginable from the forest. There are wild apples in blum, pussy willows, fiddlehead ferns, You might see red crossbill, yellow warbles or scarlet tanagers or you can hear them. Chipmunks are very abundant in the early spring doing there busy errands. Late in the day you might see rabbits or deer. The meadow will be wildflowers beginning to bloom.

What makes this property unique

The cottage has a Little Tennessee River view that is very restful. The River is one of the few that runs North. Bring your fishing pole to try your luck at a great catch .There 4 private waterfall on the property, several walking and log mountain trails to follow. The private streams have lots of minerals as ruby and specks of gold to pan .Just ask, we supply the gold pans and ruby mining. The afternoon sunset are of different colors and changes very fast with each view more beautiful. The family farm is part of the NC AGRITOURISM.
