The check-in was very easy, the host was very quick and responsive with any request or concerns we had. The house was very clean and had everything that we needed for our stay. The hot tub was added bonus. There was a beautiful butterfly bush there that had butterflies and hummingbird moths all day every day.Beautiful!

The petting zoo was such a whimsical experience and the animals were all sweet. Ziplining across the river was so adventure-provoking. Will definitely become a staple rental property to visit while in NC

Great stay

We had a great time at the Gingerbread House. Beds were comfy. We had everything we needed. It was fun to watch the butterflies, humming birds, and cows. The kids loved rolling down the hill in front. We had quite a lot of rain that stopped some of our outdoor plans. We got to go to the farm for a short while.

Did not stay very long. Enjoyed hot tub. Door banging after going to bed turned out to be the door in the back of the house.

It is hard to get the value out of the cabin and the full farm when you stay so short - if you can’t arrive during daylight and need to depart in the AM, how can you take advantage of our ten years of sculpting our now 25 acre farm! If a door is banging, close it all the way.

Beautiful House, Location, Large Property and Animals

We visited the farm and had a blast on the multi-acre farm with lovely critters. The Gingerbread House was great and we loved our cows on the hill and 3 or so chipmunks in the front yard. Great views from every angle. ....We had a ton of fun here. This country boy felt right at home. The fire pit and hot tub were an added bonus.

Everything was amazing! The house was perfect for my friends annual girls trip. There was 6 of us and we had plenty of space to spread out. The hot tub was our favorite. The farm was so much fun, we went twice to play with the baby goats. Communication was very good wirh the owner. She reponded quickly to my questions.

White Christmas at Sugar Grove

We arrived to find a beautifully decorated, super clean, warm, comfortable home with plenty of room to celebrate a peaceful Christmas Eve! We saw deer browsing in the snow on the hill behind the house. We enjoyed the sheltered hot tub even as a light snow was falling. Thank you!

Worked well for us

The location was great for our travels to The Land of Oz at Beech Mountain. Boone was full for a ballgame and I was happy to find this lovely home. The house was super clean and quiet. The only issue we had and is just a suggestion, other places I have stayed have a Keurig or coffee machine and coffee supplies there. Nothing is close by so we all had to wait until Boone for our coffee stop that morning. Again that isn’t a big deal just a suggestion for future guests. It would have been a gorgeous porch to start the day on with a cup. I imagine that when autumn colors arrive this is an exceptional place to stay as well.

One night stays are tough, it's hard to get a grasp on the farmlife - so we hope you will try us out again for a longer stay! Those Keurigs just don't seem to last, we do recommend guests bring their own if that is what they love, but we just have the basic coffee maker at all of our cabins :)

Gingerbread House and Farm

This place was absolutely amazing. We had 4 cows at the Gingerbread house that we could watch graze while we set in the hot tub. There was a lovely fire pit and wood for sale on the property. The house was so clean. We went to the farm 3 days and stayed for hours at a time. We rode the waterslide, played pickleball, spent a lot of time in the petting zoo, hiked, and relaxed in the many swings and benches throughout the property. Our girls rode inner tubes down the creek and I did the zip line which was so much fun. We really enjoyed ourselves and would definitely recommend it and go back. Connie, the host, was so nice. There are s’mores kits, fresh eggs, charcoal, and other miscellaneous items for sale in the shed when you come into the farm. We had a blast!

Snow tubing in the mountains

Great experience. My girls love the goats and bunnies!! Wish it didn’t rain most of our stay, but other than that it was great. The bunnies and goats barn could use a lil cleaning, but I understand it gets messy quick. The goats and bunnies appeared happy and pretty well taken care of❤️.
