We enjoyed our stay at the farm. The house and property are beautiful. The host met us upon arrival and was available if there were any questions. Furnishings in the house were comfortable and the house was clean (which is very important to us). We enjoyed our visit to the General Store which is located on the property and seeing the animals on the farm.

This is such a great place to stay for a family. Debbi and Craig have made the house feel like a home away from home and the farm itself is a wonderland for kids! Getting to interact with the animals and watch them all day makes for great vacation memories!

Our pup loved the fenced in yard!! We started every morning with coffee on the porch while we watched the sunrise. Debbi was and is a true joy! You don’t meet many people like her, during our farm tour she spoke as if we were family not strangers. We do hope to find some time to make it back and see how much things have changed!

We had such at great time at the farmhouse! Our hosts were very gracious with their time. Mrs. Debbi showed our three little girls around the farm, letting them walk the miniature horses, groom the horses, feed a pumpkin to the pigs, and so much more. She even let a couple of her dogs play with our dog in the large fenced yard. All the animals on the farm were super sweet and gentle with the girls. The house has everything you need and is absolutely beautiful inside. Our girls also loved exploring the little country store on the property. It is also very conveniently located for those visiting The Biltmore or Forest City for the Christmas lights. We cannot say enough of good things about our visit to the farm!

This was the best VRBO we have ever stayed at! The house was stunningly beautiful, clean, and packed with everything you could possibly need. The home was filled with so many personal touches from Debbie & Craig and our family enjoyed them all so much. Our kids had fun playing with the blocks and other games that were provided as well. It comfortably fit our family of five (three adults & two kids). We met Debbie when we arrived & received a wonderful barn tour to meet all the animals. All the staff were super friendly and the kids loved the train ride that Debbie took them on around the property. Debbie was always available for anything we needed and had the best dinner recommendations, 10/10 each night. Our family had such a great time learning about all the animals and appreciate Debbie taking time out of her day to spend with us. The walking trail around the property was beautiful, yet an easy walk that our kids (6 & 2) were also able to easily do as well. And the best part was the animals!! Our daughter fell in love with Sadie the dog and Frick & Frack, the two most loving pigs you’ll ever meet!! I could have spent the entire trip in the pig pen cuddled up with Frick & Frack! The horses & goats were also fun to interact with, and the barn cat was absolutely adorable. Feeding peanuts to the goats was another highlight to the trip & very entertaining to our girls. The general store was packed full of fun treasures as well. We had such a great time & hope to come back soon!

This was our 6th annual visit and there has been something new to experience or new fur babies every year and surprisingly, every year is better than the previous stay. The beautiful, timber frame house feels like home to us and while it’s always tough to say goodbye…we know we’ll be back next year! Thank you Debbi & Craig, for always making our stay extra special!

About the host

Hosted by Debbi Stanfield

Host profile image
I am originally from Queens New York , lived in
St. Louis MO and Rochester NY before working in South Florida for 30 years before retiring and building our dream farm in Western North Carolina. I worked as a Pediatric ICU Nurse then transitioned to medical sales . My husband grew up in W. Palm Beach and retired as a Captain with the Town of Palm Beach Fire Dept in 2012. His family roots were from Burlington/Greensboro/Mebane area of NC but we wanted to be closer to the mountains so we settled in the Foothills . Craig's creativity can be seen all over the farm and it really makes this place unique. I do the farm tours and manage all the animal care and love to talk with our visitors. No matter where our visitors come from we find we always have something in common. We love living in the area and sharing our little slice of heaven with visitors.

Why they chose this property

This is such a great area and is close to so many fun things to do. We are less than 30 minutes from Tryon International Equestrian Center, waterfalls, hiking, lots of cool towns close by, etc. Our timber frame guest house offers a very warm and inviting space for you to enjoy our beautiful farm or as your resting place after touring the area. We bought the property in 2007 and the only thing on it was an 8 acre hayfield so everything you see , we have done.
It's a great place for kids since they have lots of room and we are pet friendly so our yard is perfect for dog (s) ...only 2 please and please remember to pay the very reasonable dog fee. Many of our guests feel no need to leave the farm other than for basic needs. We're fortunate to have great internet and a fun store and friendly animals. You will have a beautiful fire pit and a nice grilled hooked up to an underground tank so we don't have to worry about you running out of gas in the middle of grilling! Easy access in and no scary roads to navigate at night.
There are 4 grocery store ( Food Lion, Aldi's, Walmart ( they deliver) and Ingles) 10-15 minutes away and 2 neighborhood stores for basics, pizza , ice cream, soda, etc within 5 minutes. Gas station within 5
minutes from farm. Easy drive to Tryon, Columbus, Morganton, Forest City and Spindale.

What makes this property unique

The sounds and sights of our farm will make you want to come back again! Our animals enjoy visitors, and so do we! If you want to be left alone, we know how to do that! This is a working farm and you have freedom to walk around and visit the animals. There is a mile and 1/3 trail through the woods for your morning or evening walks and plenty of other areas to explore. We have a Gem Mine for the kids ( and adults) and a grain bin gazebo with swings where you can sit in the evening and listen to the sounds of the farm. We are really proud of our great reviews and will always make sure you will not be disappointed with your stay at Cherry Mountain Farm! Please remember if you bring your dog there is a very reasonable dog fee for up to 2 dogs so please check this off when making reservations so it gets added.
