Please read the reviews, we work hard for those. This home is walking distance from Pisgah National Forest in Big Ivy Country. Surrounded by mountains, this valley does not disappoint. Come enjoy the beautiful views and the local horses, cows, goats, ducks and chickens. Sip coffee on the spacious front porch, paddle around the pond, or enjoy a yard game on the three spacious acres. At night, listen to the sounds of crickets and bullfrogs as you roast marshmallows by the fire. Star gazing is a must!!! The property has a small pond that is fed by a fresh water spring. Whether you feel like floating under the sun, paddling a kayak or taking a dip, come down to the dock and have a blast. If you would like to get out and about, there are many attractions just a short drive away. Zipline through the tree tops at Navitat Canopy Adventures (less than 10 miles away), enjoy a night out on the town in Downtown Asheville (19 miles away), or visit the famous Biltmore house(17 miles) in South Asheville.

We had a last-minute trip and it was wonderful. The property was exactly as stated, and our host was responsive and kind. Would definitely stay there again. Our daughter loved the pond. We enjoyed the board games and just sitting on the porch.

Liked: Check-in, communication, location
We understood the house was pretty basic. The property and location was lovely although took a bit of a beating from Helene. The area around the cabin was beautiful with a pretty horse paddock/farm just down the driveway. The trailhead at Big Ivy was closed but we found other amazing places to explore nearby. We climbed Big Butt trail (a high elevation trail in Pisgah national Forest), visited Bailey Mountain Preserve in Mars Hill, Rich Mountain Firetower (tough hike but soooo worth it!). We plan on returning to this cute sleepy mountain town again.
We had such an amazing two weeks at Jami's place, lounging in the hammock, watching the lightning bugs, and eating many a dinner al fresco. Our cat enjoyed watching the chickens and other cats on the property stopped by to say hello. The house was so well equipped, we wanted for nothing. Overall one of the dreamiest escapes to the woods we've ever had :)
Overall great stay. Hosts were very responsive and very easy to deal with. The house was clean and had a welcoming vibe from the moment we arrived. Hope to visit again soon!@
We had a great time staying on the farm, our hosts were absolutely incredible and went above and beyond for us. One of the best memories from our visit was sitting out ion the front porch as a thunderstorm rolled in… magical 🙌
I highly recommend staying here.
Perfect place to just get away and relax. Property owners are super responsive and knowledgeable of local of things to do.
Would honestly go back for a nice and chill weekend!
It was a great place to get away from the hustle and bustle of every day life. Very peaceful

Great place to relax
We had a great stay; the house was clean, comfortable, and well stocked with anything we needed. We also enjoyed the front porch, back patio area, the creek and pond on the property, and visiting with the goats and chickens. Easy drive to Asheville and really enjoyed being so close to the national forest. Very peaceful and relaxing, and we would definitely return.
We were in the area visiting land we recently purchased and could not have chosen a better place to experience the true beauty of Western North Carolina. The area is tranquil , the house was absolutely cozy as can be , and the owner could not have been more accommodating. 10/10!
The house was lovely—immaculately clean and quite charming. The surroundings were beautiful and we truly enjoyed the farm setting and beautiful views. Our hosts were very responsive and helpful. The location was perfect—nearby hiking, short drives to Asheville and Black Mountain. Highly recommend!
I rented this beautiful home for my parents 50th wedding anniversary to share with my children and their great grandchildren. Every day I heard how they just fell more in love with the magic of this home. So grateful to the host family for their kindness and for sharing their magic on earth with us!!!
Our family throughly enjoyed our vacation! The house was a great place to call Home for several days. Close to trails, waterfalls, Asheville, Weaverville to name a few. The cabin was clean and the owners super nice. They thought of everything to make sure our stay was great! Thank you Jami & Rachel!
Beautiful home and property. We loved the location- Asheville is a 25 minute drive from the house. Our son loved the pond and playing outside. Jamie was awesome- she brought us fresh eggs and let us hold the baby goats! We would definitely recommend this place and hope to stay again.
This was a wonderful and relaxing experience. The property was peaceful and beautiful. Jami and Rachel were very accommodating. We brought our dogs and they loved it too. It was great to be walking distance from hiking trails. Highly recommend!!
What an amazing stay we had. I don’t just mean our trip, but Rachel and Jami have a beautiful place set up with all the comforts of home. The communication was great. The beds were comfortable. The property was BEAUTIFUL. My wife and kids loved it so much. Thank you!
Jami & Rachel were perfect hosts. The house was spotless and very thoughtfully prepared. The location is perfectly placed at the entrance to Pisgah National Forest. I will be back frequently.

Great Property Nice laid back location and Great Hosts
What more can be said. The home was nice and comfortable. Huge yard with a nice little pond with a floating dock. Very quiet area right next door to a farm and a horse ranch and Big Ivy forest right down the road. Get away from it all but still be close enough to the food and fun in Asheville and all that WNC has to offer.
Thoroughly enjoyed our stay! Property is so peaceful . We enjoyed sitting on the porch watching the fireflies each evening, the kids loved the kayaks and animals. A short walk to the Pisgah trail entrance . A little drive from downtown Asheville but that didn’t bother us. Glad the rain stopped long enough for us to use the fire pit for s’mores!
