We are close to all of the Western North Carolina attractions, The Biltmore, Sliding Rock, The Blue Ridge Parkway, Breweries, Maggie Valley, Cherokee Casino, Hendersonville, Waynesville, mountain hiking and biking, canoe, tubing, zip lining trout fishing and more. It's a place you will want to return over and over again. We have a stocked pond with Rainbow trout, Channel catfish, & Bream along with a trout stream with natural brown trout. You can completely relax and rejuvenate here. The cabin is very very clean, immaculate, fresh and updated. It has a large fully equipped eat in kitchen, both bedrooms have quality, comfortable queen sized beds with memory foam for a restful nights sleep. The back covered deck is a great place to hang out, relax, read a book, or try your fishing skills for native brown trout. The huge patio overlooks crystal clear Tucker Creek, (10 feet wide and 1-4 feet deep) and features a gas BBQ grill, with patio table & chairs. Tucker Creek is a cold water creek that is full of quartz crystal rocks. The cabin borders thousands of acres of the PISGAH NATIONAL FOREST with Trailheads and Forestry roads all around. The wildlife abounds. You may see turkey, deer, bear, Canadian geese, ducks, blue heron, Bald Eagles and more.
Maggie's Farm is also a beautiful spot for an elopement wedding by the creek.

There are many beautiful nearby waterfalls. Maggie's is Located in Balsam Grove, Transylvania County, which is also known as the 'LAND OF WATERFALLS.' There are over 250 waterfalls to enjoy HIKING, BIKING, photographing, and picnicking.

This property was amazing, and Mark and Jackie were wonderful hosts! Our kids had a blast fishing in the pond and wading in the creek. The cabin was just the right size for our family of four. It got down into the low 30’s during our visit and the cabin stayed nice and warm. We visited Brevard during our stay and really enjoyed the area. There were plenty of restaurants and interesting shops to visit. My son and I also got to do some fly fishing in the French Broad River. We can’t wait for our next trip to the cabin at Maggie’s Farm.

A little slice of paradise

This cabin is just a few miles from our house and was rented for family members as we did not have enough room at our home. We all ended up spending some time there relaxing or fishing with grandkids. House was cozy and clean, Mountain View’s were great, Host Mark made sure everyone had what was needed.

Wonderful time

We had a wonderful time at Mark and Jacqueline’s cabin. They were so helpful and kind. The cabin was perfect for a laid back, relaxing week. It was well stocked with essentials and a great location with stream, trout pond, and other fun things that entertained our 3 year old son. It was also close to Brevard and the Pisgah National Forest so it gave us plenty of opportunity to go out and explore. We would definitely stay there again!

Perfect Cabin Perfect Hosts

Maggie's Farm was perfect for our anniversary getaway. The cabin has everything you would need and then some. Mark & Jacquie are wonderful hosts. The best we have ever encountered in all of our travels. The farm is a quaint & peaceful place to rest especially on the deck listening to the creek....my favorite spot. Mark & Jacquie have made their farm a beautiful & tranquil place to rest one's soul. The farm is close to many lakes, hiking spots, & the Blue Ridge Parkway. Close to Brevard which has some very good restaurants. If you ever have an emergency I can personally vouch for the Transylvania Regional Hospital. I got really good care in the ER there. Doctors & nurses were wonderful. If you are considering visiting Maggie's Farm just do it. You won't be disappointed!

About the host

Hosted by Mark Hatch

Host profile image
We were tired of the corporate life we were living and just working to pay bills. So we decided to take a leap of faith and buy a cabin in the forest of NC on a cold water creek, just outside of Asheville near the Blue Ridge Parkway. We wanted a more peaceful meaningful life. Mark is originally from Southampton England and Jacquie from Boston Massachusetts. We met in Central Florida working in our busy careers. We decided that when we retired we would buy a farm in the mountains and grow our own food and live off the land. It has been the most peaceful rewarding 10 years of our lives. We have 3 friendly dogs, 2 German Shepherds and a Hound.

Why they chose this property

We spent over a year looking for the perfect property for us. It had to have several things: a creek, high elevation, pasture, forest land, a beautiful town was a must (Brevard), close to activities and near a city (Asheville). This property had all we were looking for and it was on the market for only 72 hours. Living here is like a slice of heaven. There is 5 1/2 acres on Maggie's Farm and we border thousands of acres of Pisgah Forest on 2 sides of the property. We built our home across the creek and in the very back corner of the property. In case of emergency we are just down the road a bit.

What makes this property unique

The back deck is so relaxing, watch and listen to the creek while enjoying a lazy afternoon. Just beyond the creek we border the Pisgah National Forest where there are thousands of acres of forest and trails. Transylvania county is "The Land of Waterfalls" with over 250 waterfalls. The property location is the perfect jumping off point for nearly everything you want to see or do in Western North Carolina and come home to a comfy cabin and bed. There is a stocked rainbow trout pond on property along with 1000+ feet of natural cold water stream with brown trout running through the farm directly behind the cabin. Maggie's Farm has blackberries, blueberries and raspberries for picking. We grow a wide variety of fruits and vegetables which can be eaten while on your stay. You can actually have a full dinner all from food grown right here on the farm during the harvest season.
