Keywords: Barn
Leave the cares of the world behind as you wind your way past apple orchards, farms, and forests. The deeper into the valley you go - a sense of peace and tranquillity overcomes you. Finally you reach your destination - nestled among the rolling hills of Henderson County - The Barn on Hungry River.
Our barn has been restored to offer all of the comforts of home - yet retains its rustic charm. This comfy hide-a-way is the perfect place to make memories with family and friends. The Big Hungry River (stocked with trout) runs along one side of the property - its gurgle will lull you to sleep in the evening and invite you to enjoy long lazy days.
If you can pull yourself away from leisurely fishing, wading, or just listening to the gentle sounds of the river, you may want to venture out to the endless activities just minutes from your doorstep. Carl Sandburg's home, Connemera and the North Carolina State Theater - The Flat Rock Playhouse are less than 15 minutes away. Hendersonville with its history and antiques is just a little further. The Biltmore Estate and Asheville are just over a half-hour.
When you return from your adventures, The Barn will be waiting with its fully-equipped kitchen - just made for cooking and conversation, generously furnished living room, and expansive deck with its view of the river. The upstairs has one bathroom and two bedrooms. One with a double bed and the other with a queen sleep number mattress. The downstairs has a sitting area with wi-fi, bathroom, master bedroom with king bed, and a bedroom with a queen bed.
Smoking is not allowed inside the house. Pets are negotiable.

If you are looking for a very comfortable, scenic, and peaceful place to spend with the family that is close to many activities, then this is the place you want to be. The owners are wonderful and very helpful with your visit. The creek running past the barn is music to the outdoors. I would highly recommend renting this location to anyone.

We loved this place! 4 bedrooms, 2 upstairs and 2 downstairs. The beds were great, the kitchen was fully stocked. The property is so beautiful, right next to the stream. We'll have to plan a trip back during warm weather when we can sit on the porch and enjoy it more. I found it very convenient to Asheville and Brevard. No cell service, but the WiFi kept us connected.

The Barn was more than we had hoped for. Thanks for a wonderful time. With 3 kids, 4 adults, and a dog it was comfortable (note the bunk beds were replaced with a double) and there were many things to do on the property, from stacking rocks, playing in the creek or leaf piles, rocking on the huge porch, and having a campfire. Hospitality was excellent and we would definitely recommend our friends and would visit again! They also make their own pottery, which is one of the best hand-made pottery I have ever seen (and probably sell it too).
Owner response:I am so glad that your family enjoyed your time on the Hungry River. I'll update my internet pictures and take out the bunk beds. Thanks again, Phyllis & Palmer

My wife, sister, brother-in-law, and two friends, visited the Barn on Hungry River in mid-August 2011. We had an outstanding time. The place has all the comforts of suburbia but is nestled in the most tranquil, peace-inducing location you could imagine. Our two dogs had a blast splashing in the river each day. Phyllis and her husband were great hosts and we'd love to vacation there again.

My husband, 2 dogs, & I had a great week's stay at the Barn. We loved the private, valley setting and the cozy front porch facing the running river. The Barn was well stocked, very comfortable & charming. We are cyclists and enjoyed riding the beautiful country roads & visiting the near by towns of Flat Rock, Hendersonville & Asheville. Phyllis was great to work with and the whole experience exceeded our expectations. We plan to return to the Barn.

Thebarn wa sloads of fun. We enjoyed playing in the river, rocking on th ehuge porch, and walking through the garden stocked with vegetables and beautiful flowers. Close proximity to Asheville attractions and owners live close enough where if you need something they can help you out. Overall it was a great family vacation. Thanks!

Six of us spent Thanksgiving weekend at "The Barn" and had an amazing time. The minute you walk on to the property, your heart rate will drop, the tension will ease up and the sound of the Hungry river will wash away all that stress. It was hard to leave to visit the surrounding area but we ventured out to Dupont State Forest (great hikes, waterfalls) and to Asheville for a couple of concerts. But far and away, just sitting around the fire and soaking up the beauty that Phyllis and Palmer have created was the highlight of the trip. This place is set up for both adventerous and relaxing fun. . .take your pick. We'll be back, for sure!! I can't wait to see the gardens in Summer. Cool-Funky-Natural-Homey- Cozy--the Barn has it all!

Had a quick weekend trip to the barn, which was quite lovely, peaceful and cozy. Lots of room with a central gathering place for everyone. Wished that we had been able to stay longer. Look forward to doing just that at a future visit! Thanks for a great stay!

Beautiful location and wonderful barn! Lots of room for everyone. We loved every minute of our stay. Can't wait to come again when it's warm enough to wade in the river.
