Bungalow Farmhouse - Family and Pet Friendly- Borders 3600 acre forest

We rented the Bungalow and the Cozy Historic Cabin for our daughter's wedding, and it was perfect in every way. Ann and Jay were extremely accommodating: mowing the fields, suggesting rental companies familiar with the property, helping with signage, power to the tent, extra refrigeration, firewood, hauling trash...You name it! Their calm and friendly approach took the jitters right out of what we have only done once in a life time.

What a setting. Nuptials in the center of a miniature Stonehenge, Reception under the stars listening to a bold creek, and endless backgrounds for photographs including 2 tiny bridges over a rocky brook. We could not have asked for more.

The homes provided all we needed. The bungalow had more kitchen storage than you might suspect from the photos. The great room accommodated 25 milling around for a rehearsal buffet. While there is limited closet space, the bedrooms allowed for 10 giddy women to dress. And the Historic Cabin... makes you wish you too, could be a bride again.

We spent 3 nights and wished we could stay another week! Very relaxing, sweet little bungalow, beautiful property, easy drive to Asheville, very laid back! It was a bit larger than I expected. You can hear the stream from the house with the windows open or out on the porch. Hope to visit again!

Property was well maintained, host were extremely friendly and made our stay amazing and the scenery was to die for

Cottage is just rustic enough but very well appointed. We loved the griddle outside, the gas stove and the well stocked kitchen. Mattresses, pillows and linens were top notch. Peaceful, private and rustic -- natural without being neanderthal. Terrific location. Waterfalls and the forest were amazing. Hope we can come back.

The owners were awesome the whole time leading up to our stay, answering any questions we had about the property. We traveled there with my wife and I, our 2 girls (age 2 and 8 mo.) my sister, my mother and father and two labs (this place is beyond perfect for dogs as long as they can behave around horses). The road up to the house was very beautiful and the last grocery store was about 15-20 mins from the cabin and has limited stuff. Showing up, jay met us with a new iron skillet and plenty of amenities for our stay. They even brought a truckload of firewood. The place is perfect for 6. The bathrooms were nice, but one of the bathrooms next to the twin beds is in a weird spot attached to the laundry room. That room can be locked from the outside and you can’t unlock it from the inside so be careful with the kids, lol. They could lock you in that room. The two other rooms were spacious and the other jack and Jill bathroom was nice. There is isn’t too many locks on the other doors so we had to be vocal about privacy. The place was clean with the exception of a few ants here and there but as to be expected in the woods. The floor was quite creeky so make sure you bring sound machines if you bring little ones. We saw multiple types of wildlife including wild turkeys. The property is amazing with awesome views, there is a little confusion though as to where the property lines are with the cabins/barns around us so we ended up wondering on to someone else’s property. There was also some construction that was going on that we weren’t aware of. The creek that is at the end of the property has access at one spot but be prepared to walk through a little brush. The brush ends at the road so you have to be careful about letting little ones run in and out of the brush so they don’t jump out in front of a car on the dirt road. The national forest is beautiful and the creek that runs up the road is beautiful and has many awesome spots to pull off and have a picnic and fish. We caught multiple rainbows and a decent size brown trout. We would definitely recommend this property to any family looking to get out in the country but doesn’t want to be too isolated. Plenty of room for the dogs to run around with very little traffic. Overall this place was a blast! Thanks again!
