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 one set of bunk beds. The downstairs has a recreational area with games, bathroom, master bedroom with king bed, and a bedroom with a queen bed.
Smoking is not allowed inside the house. Pets are negotiable.

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.

We had a wonderful week-long stay at the Barn on Hungry River. The Barn is spotlessly clean and spacious, with a cozy feel on winter days and evenings. The country setting, by the river, is beautiful, and we enjoyed our daily walks in the peaceful countryside. All in all, a delightful place for a vacation. The Sanders are very accommodating and eager to have their guests enjoy their stay at The Barn.

Our troop has 6 girls and 2 co-leaders and we loved the Barn! Perfect sleeping arrangements with the girls downstairs and the adults upstairs. The girls especially loved playing in the creek. Phyllis & Palmer are very hospitable and accommodating. Be sure to check out Palmer's beautiful pottery!

5/12-5/19/07 There were 8 adults. My contribution to the clan was myself and two dogs. Got to spend time with family that I hadn't seen in a year and spent Mother's Day week with Mom enjoying the Barn, love the porch and the river! We spent a beautiful week sitting on the porch enjoying each other and watching the pups play, they were exhausted at the end of the week. Took in as much local touring and shopping as we could. Hendersonville is a great little town! Blew all my vacation savings at "World of Clothing", Needful Things and downtown Hendersonville antiques. (and Palmerware =0)) If you go to Biltmore(we went 2 days) get the headsets and do the rooftop tour, it's awesome! The Sanders were great hosts, friendly and helpful. I highly recommend a week at the Barn to anyone. It's a quiet, peaceful place.

We enjoyed our week long stay at the Barn vey much.Everything we could possibly need was provided for,we especially liked the comfortable sheets and the bedspread! Got to meet Phyllis and her husband and both were very nice and friendly as well as helpful! Her husband makes beautiful pottery right on their property! We loved listening to the sound of the River rushing by as well as observing the trout.Sitting by the fire at the fire-pit was also wonderful! We certainly would come back another time! Sincerely,Annette Libby.

9/2/05-9/5/05 4 adults & a dog named "Buffy" stayed at the Barn on Hungry River over the Labor Day weekend. What a wonderful way to spend time away from our day to day routine. The 'barn' is wonderfully comfortable. We had such fun watching our dog explore the area. She is used to a fenced in back yard and a leash when out for a walk. Her spirt was set free to run and roam the river with us. She came home a very tired doggy and we came home well rested. We took in the Apple Festival in Hendersonville ( a short 15 min. drive) over the weekend and enjoyed the town. Phyllis was such a sweatheart - we enjoyed the time we had chatting with her. We look forward to returning to stay again and will pass along info on the place to friends and family.

My husband and I love this place. It's tucked away in the valley and it's very beautiful and peaceful-good chi(energy). It's so nice to sit on the porch in the rocking chairs and listen to the river. At night there is a great firepit to sit around and gaze at the fire or up at the stars. We took a really hike nearby to some waterfalls. The accomodations in the "Barn" are very comfortable-has everything you need. Phyllis and Palmer are great folks-perfect hosts. We highly recommend the place!

What a wonderful vacation! The Barn provided us with tranquility, peace, and privacy that we haven't had in many months. Our two teenage boys love to fly fish and were thrilled with the river's access and their success. Phyllis and Palmer are two of the nicest people and have put a lot of love in decorating the Barn and the surrounding grounds. Phyllis has provided every amentity to make you feel at home. We felt like we were staying at our own place. We look forward to coming back again and again.
