Perfect Little Mountain Retreat

Third time staying here and I really can't say enough great things about it. The property, our host Ann, and the location are all phenomenal. If you're not booking this house for your next visit to the Asheville area, you're really doing yourself a disservice.

Fabulous Getaway!

We so enjoyed our time at the bungalow farmhouse! Hiking trails to explore with the dogs are right out the door, and there are so many to explore. We couldn’t get to them all! The house is spacious and comfortable, and the woodstove created a cozy feeling in the evenings! It was a beautiful time, and we will be back!

Farm House experience.

This is a very charming house on a very charming property. The house is cozy and accommodating, surrounded by mountains and very pastoral views. Peaceful and quiet, surrounded by roaming pastures of horses and cows. Now in the fall the colors of the changing trees are just gorgeous. We enjoyed our stay and would do it again.

Can’t say enough great things!

This is our second stay at the property and the familiarity made our stay even more remarkable than before. The weather even allowed us to sleep with some windows open, which let us fall asleep to the sounds of Walker creek (about 150 yards from the house). I could go on and on, but I will simply say we are already planning trip #3!

Great getaway spot!

As advertised and more. Both the home and location are fantastic. This property sits at the entrance to Pisgah NF/Big Ivy. You can explore miles of trails right off the front porch, or drive into Weaverville (10 mins S) or Marshal (15 mins N) for some great meals/drinks/entertainment. The home is equipped with everything you’d need, was clean, and without any hiccups or “gotchas”.

Perfect hiking

We spent 5 days and never got bored. There are several long trails in walking distance, we spent our days hiking near the property. Our goal was to have plenty of hiking without driving and this place is perfect. Ashville is close by, we went to dinner and bar hopping a couple of evenings. Best of both worlds!

Near Pisgah National Forest

Great place for relaxing and doing some hiking without getting on your car. Beautiful setting just yards from the Big Ivy area of the Pisgah Forest. Neighbors were a bit loud on New Year’s Eve but the other nights were dead quiet and calm.

Beautiful mountain location

Our family loved the house. Beds were comfortable. Plenty of room for 6 people: 4 adults and 2 children. I would bring my own skillet next time, I cook larger quantities than their skillet would hold. However the kitchen was well equipped.

Thanksgiving at the Farmhouse

The experience was outstanding! We were so comfortable and the farmhouse was just perfect! The only thing missing from the amenities list is the satellite/cable. There is none. There is a smart TV. Loved our stay and had a wonderful traditional Thanksgiving Dinner cooked in the Farmhouse kitchen. The surroundings and location were so wonderful. Just a quiet, pleasant, comfortable place to relax and enjoy the outdoors. And our granddaughters loved the swings hanging from the big pine in the yard. Very nice place and hosts.

Beautiful Setting, Wonderful Hosts

My wife and I packed up our four kids for a long weekend in the mountains. Jay and Ann are perfect hosts. The location is easy to find and convenient to creeks, mountains, and hiking trails. The animals on the property are charming and friendly. We cannot say enough good things about our time at this house!

Peaceful and picturesque surroundings

Our family had a wonderful time staying at the farmhouse and enjoying Jay and Ann's hospitality and the peaceful and picturesque surroundings. It was a great family weekend celebrating the proposal by our son Nicholas, to his girlfriend Sarah, on Sunday at the Biltmore in Ashville. Happily she said, "YES." The weekend stay at the farmhouse made it a perfect family memory and a wonderful new chapter in Nicholas and Sarah's relationship.

Great place for a mountain getaway. Rustic charm; very cozy.

Our family of seven loved the house. Hiking trails were a bit difficult to locate from the house. Once we found one, it ended quickly and impassable in the rushing creek. But beautiful nonetheless and wound up just board gaming on the huge round table. The fire in the wood stove was fun for our citified kids.

This is an original house at the end of the road before the park entrance, with a beautiful stream across the gravel road, right at the border of gorgeous woods, with horses and a goat,and space to run. My kids and dogs loved staring at the animals for hours. It was a soothing stay for us. Will definitely come back.

Perfect Spot for a Wedding

We rented the Bungalow and the Cozy Historic Cabin for our daughter's wedding, and it was perfect in every way. Ann and Jay were extremely accommodating: mowing the fields, suggesting rental companies familiar with the property, helping with signage, power to the tent, extra refrigeration, firewood, hauling trash...You name it! Their calm and friendly approach took the jitters right out of what we have only done once in a life time. What a setting. Nuptials in the center of a miniature Stonehenge, Reception under the stars listening to a bold creek, and endless backgrounds for photographs including 2 tiny bridges over a rocky brook. We could not have asked for more. The homes provided all we needed. The bungalow had more kitchen storage than you might suspect from the photos. The great room accommodated 25 milling around for a rehearsal buffet. While there is limited closet space, the bedrooms allowed for 10 giddy women to dress. And the Historic Cabin... makes you wish you too, could be a bride again.

We spent 3 nights and wished we could stay another week! Very relaxing, sweet little bungalow, beautiful property, easy drive to Asheville, very laid back! It was a bit larger than I expected. You can hear the stream from the house with the windows open or out on the porch. Hope to visit again!
