It is a lovely location close into Hendersonville. The fields and pond are very picturesque. We saw many deer but didn't see any of the wild turkeys. The house has large comfortable gathering spaces and the bedrooms are very clean and comfortable. We had a great stay.

Lovely views, comfortable beds, charming home.

Stayed at Thornhill Farm and it was lovely. Had my coffee in a rocking chair on the porch watching the sun burn off the fog. The sunset on the first night was stunning. The perfect spot for a family gathering.

Summer in Hendersonville

My favorite part was sitting in the swing underneath the Oak tree in the evening, watching the deer and being surrounded by lightning bugs. It’s beautiful and peaceful.

Gorgeous Property

The property is wonderful. There are several very old oak trees that are just magnificent. There were at least half a dozen deer that roamed the property in the morning and evening hours. We did not see the turkeys but I would not have been surprised to them there. It is a very quiet and peaceful location.

Having family in Hendersonville we had a family reunion. We came from California, Florida, New Hampshire, and Massachusetts. Everyone agreed we should come back again. We sipped wine on the wrap around porch, cooked gourmet meals in the modern kitchen, and grilled fish and meat in the back. The three bathrooms appeared to be new. The family members that stayed in the downtown hotels spent all their time hanging out with us at the house. This has been a memorable trip.

Wonderful nostalgic vacation on a farm and hold their farmhouse that gave all eight of us enough room to be together, but also be separate with ease. Lots to do. I loved walking the property. We all love sitting on the front porch and having a coffee in the morning and playing across the lawn with the kids in the evening. The kids love the porch swing, and the tree swing too. Loved the beautiful views.

Great location!

We took our adult children and some friends for a long weekend and really enjoyed the whole trip! It was great being so close to town for shopping or eating lunch. And it was an easy drive up to Jump off Rock and also close to vineyards and breweries. We spent a lot of time outside by the bonfire and hitting golf balls or fishing in the pretty pond and then when it got too chilly it was really fun to play pool inside. We cooked supper every night and enjoyed all being able to sit around the large dining room table. We also had a large herd of deer visit us every morning! The newly renovated bathrooms are lovely and the beds were all comfortable with plenty of space for everyone. Holly was wonderful and responsive the whole weekend. Would definitely recommend this farmhouse stay!

Beautiful Setting

Dozens of deer and their babies came out early each morning and evening to graze on the pasture. Farm was old but comfortable. We had very cold weather and the heating was uneven. Even so, it was a very relaxing setting.

Good location but needs a deep cleaning

The house is in a great location. It's quiet and yet there are grocery stores and restaurants nearby. The rocking chairs on the porch were inviting and we loved the tree swing. Unfortunately, those are the only positives about this property. This house hasn’t been deep cleaned in a very long time. The oven was filthy! The kitchen sponges were sour. We couldn’t find any dishcloths/towels in the kitchen. We eventually found some hand towels in the hall closet near the bedrooms. When we needed potholders on the quick, we found one small, very used pot holder. Also, the kitchen has very little counter space and what counter space is available had displays of dishes, bowls and knickknacks. The displays of personal items/decor are throughout the house. This leaves little room for guests’ belongings. We were constantly moving items so we could have room for our stuff. Unfortunately, I broke a bowl. The drapes were very dirty. When we tried to close them for privacy, they felt grimy. When we rolled the TV cart out to attach a fire stick, the floor underneath the cart hadn’t been cleaned for some time because there was a square patch of dirt. And worst of all, the odor. It wasn’t a musty or a damp, or an “old” odor. It was putrid. I will add though that the bad smell was not in the entire house. The game room and the kitchen had a slight odor but it wasn’t offensive. In fact, we eventually became “nose blind” to it so we were able to enjoy the game room. It was the bedroom side of the house that had a nasty smell. We were hoping to get used to it but that didn’t happen. We decided not to contact the hostess with our concerns. While we could’ve requested more sponges and possibly someone to clean the oven and remove the knickknacks, it was the overall cleanliness of the house that was our concern. Deep cleaning can’t be done while the house is occupied. I would recommend another cleaning company. We were charged a cleaning fee

Hi Joan: Thank you so much for all of this amazing feedback. We have hired a team to address all of these issues. It's so hard to know what is going on there is we are not made aware. Given that there are many wild animals on a farm, sometimes one gets caught under the house and dies. We then have to call in our person to remove it. I wish you had let us know as we would have immediately taken care of it. we plan to remove more of the nick racks provide a shelf full of new sponges and tons of hot pads and dish towels. Again, feedback is so important to us to make the experience all that our guests want it to be. Thank you!

Beautiful Space for family party

I just recently rented this property for a reception and to lodge some of my guests. Holly was incredible to work with. She allowed me to visit the property before hand to make sure it was what I was looking for. She was very attentive and had her brother help my family with parking the day of. I highly recommend this place for your party or event, it is a amazing sight! My guests from Florida, Illinois and Ohio could not get enough of it.

Cozy farmhouse in a beautiful,peaceful setting!

We LOVED Thornhill Farm!!! The setting is beautiful! Our family was gathered to celebrate my parents 70 th anniversary and my Dads 93rd birthday and we couldn’t have asked for a more perfect spot. So peaceful and private...our only neighbors were the deer and wild turkeys that visited daily and right outside the windows, Definitely would love to come back!

Huge older home

Thank you for letting us stay. Your home had lots of room for our four children. There is a musty, damp smell in the lower area where the master bedroom is that takes a toll on your allergies but after some Zyrtec we survived the extended weekend. Thank you again for letting us stay.

We're so happy you enjoyed your stay. We appreciate the feedback. The older carpet has been removed so now there are newly refinished hardwood floors with brand new area rugs. All other furnishings are brand new so the damp smell is gone. Again thanks for coming and we hope to see you again soon.

This home is tucked away on such a cool property with a pond, land, quiet and peacefulness. It is like something from a Jan Brett book, with quaint little features everywhere. Holly and her dad could not have been more kind.

Good location, house has room for improvement

The house location worked very well for where we needed to go during our visit and provided a private setting. The pool table was a hit with everyone. The house was very musty smelling when we arrived and while the main rooms eventually aired out the closets never did. The house was very cluttered with assorted personal belonging (e.g. boxes of audio/video media, a case of ramen noodles under the pool table, etc) and that clutter meant no space in some of the bedroom closets (although with the musty smell in the closets no one really wanted to hang their clothes there anyway). There was an ant issue in the kitchen when we arrived but the owner arranged for a pest control company to come in and that was remedied. While the description indicated one bedroom did not have AC it was actually two (one up and one down). We had cooler/drier weather during our visit but the small BTU window units were at their limits on a couple of the warmer more humid afternoons. The washing machine broke down mid way through our visit so several of us ended up spending a few hours at the laundromat which was not in our vacation plans. The covered front porch was a nice gathering place but much of the furniture on the side deck was rusty and there were insufficient cushions for all the chairs so no one really wanted to get rust on their clothes by sitting in them. The railing at the front porch steps was very unstable and one of the top railings was cracked and not attached to the post so this caused concern given we had a couple older guest with us that might actually need to use these as opposed to only look at them. While the description does say this house is not handicap accessible, one should be aware of its unique floorplan where going between almost any two rooms in the house will require navigating some number of stairs (the main floor basically has three slightly different levels with and handful of stairs between them). Again if you are traveling with older guest you might want to take this into consideration. We have stayed at another rental unit in the Hendersonville area and while this unit offered a much better location, that advantage did not come close to offsetting its many other shortcomings and higher rate. We will not be planning to use this property for future visits and would not recommend it.

We so appreciate this response. We have remedied all of these issues. Thank you so much for letting us know what needs to be addressed. Without feedback we have no idea. There is a brand new washing machine, the closets have been cleaned out, the clutter removed and the railings secured. The outdooe furniture painted and new cushions procured. We have cleaned out below the pool table. Yes, the house has several levels and it not ideal for elderly guests or guests with issues with stairs. We welcome constructive conversation so we can address your issues. We hope you'll try us again in the future.
