About this property

Peaceful cottage on 12 acres, easy access to Lake Lure and all local activities.

Get away from it all in this peaceful setting of Caledonia Farm. Sitting on 12 acres with post and rail pastures and the sound of nature. The Croft (Scottish for a small farm) has been beautifully restored to retain as much character of the old farmhouse as possible. This is not your normal mountain getaway!
Ideally located just 7 mins to Ingles grocery store, 15 mins to Lake Lure, 17 mins to Tryon Equestrian Center and 45 mins to Asheville Regional Airport. Minutes from various vineyards.

The Croft is quaint and comfortable. You will feel the love that was put into the renovation of this 1940 farmhouse as soon as you walk in. You can find bigger homes but if you are looking for peace & serenity this is the perfect place. Spend time rocking on the front porch, enjoy reading by the pond or walk around the beautiful property.

HIGH SPEED INTERNET, GOOD PHONE SERVICE, SMART TV AND ELECTRIC FIREPLACE.

The location is excellent! Enjoy everything that Western North Carolina has to offer. Vineyards, hiking, river rafting, Biltmore House, golfing, equestrian events, quaint towns, great food and much more. Then come home to be surrounded by nature.

The whole property is available to walk.
The farm is a working horse farm with an onsite trainer residing on property.You may see horses going to and from the pastures or working areas.

The pond is not for fishing or swimming.

No entry to the barn.

No pets allowed.

The home has two post and rail pastures which are available for horses. No barn at this time, next year there will be 3 stalls available also. If you are interested in bringing your horses to ride some of the amazing trails around the area contact me.

Host was great, communicated throughout the booking process and the stay. Property was amazing, loved drinking coffee on the porch in the mornings and watching the horses graze. Caretaker for the horses was really nice and made our stay even more enjoyable by telling us about each horse and letting us pet. The house was so cozy and had everything we needed to cook our meals (grocery store is only a few minutes away). We'll be back hopefully next year!

The host was very responsive and had stocked the place very well. The decor was filled with antiques and the property was beautiful. We enjoyed coffee every morning on the rocking chair front porch. We were attending an event at Tryon Equestrian Center and it is 20 minutes away. Would stay again for sure

Peaceful and comfortable

I recently stayed at this sweet, cozy cottage with my husband and kids while attending the horse show at Tryon, and we couldn't have asked for a better experience. The cottage was peaceful, restful, and exceptionally comfortable, providing the perfect retreat after long days at the show. The quiet surroundings added to the charm, and Michelle's excellent communication made our stay even more enjoyable. Highly recommend!

About the host

Hosted by Michelle Combs

Host profile image

Michelle was born and raised in Scotland and has been a life long equestrian, competing throughout the UK in her younger years. Michelle and her family moved to Florida in 2000 and since then Michelle has always wanted to get back to a farm/rural setting.

In November 2022, Michelle and her Husband Chris purchased a small farm in Mill Spring, NC. Since then they have diligently renovated the property, keeping the original character for others to enjoy.

Michelle is still very much involved with horses and now enjoys coaching horsemanship and working with her young horses.

Chris was raised in NC and enjoys riding his motorbike through the beautiful scenic routes there are in the area.

After a lot of thought it was decided that the farm be offered as a short term rental also as Michelle and Chris still split their time between Florida and NC.

The goal is to create a place that guests can enjoy the peace and serenity and get away from their daily stress. In the future retreats and weekend group activities will be added.

Why they chose this property

After over a year of searching for a property from Nashville to Asheville, Chris and Michelle fell in love with Mill Spring. The area checked all the boxes, easy access to airports, easy access to highway, great vets and care for the horses, many activities within 20 minutes, fine dining all around within 20 minutes and a stunning peaceful setting.

What makes this property unique

In the area we are the normal is a mountain cabin or a lakeside home, our home is a little different, it allows total tranquility looking over the horse pastures, stunning sunrises and yet all the mountain and lake activities are right on your doorstep.

For horse lovers, there is the added benefit of seeing some beautiful horses.
