About this property
Get away from it all in the mountains.
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. Whether you are looking for a restful weekend with family or a fun filled weekend with friends, this is the place for you! Our reviews say it best. Available for reunions and small gatherings. There is a rental cabin on the property as well. It is listed on VRBO at #2051655.

The hosts were amazing and the property was very quiet. We enjoyed the chickens and cats running around. The rooms were clean; however, the property does need some repairs.

Thanks for sharing the property is quiet and clean. That is our main objective and what most people expect and desire. We were hit hard by hurricane Helene and still have some work to do on the property but none of that directly affects the experience. The chimney which was sealed off from the house years ago was damaged and does not affect the home,it needs to be removed and the downed tree will be removed when we have the funds but for now it’s a fun playground for the kitties.
I had a very nice, enjoyable stay here. It was neat seeing the chickens and ducks roam freely. I even got to help foster some kittens and mamma cat which was a lot of fun. Jami and Rachel were friendly and responsive. If you’re looking for a serene place to unwind I would highly recommend this place.
We had a wonderful week at the farm house! Our family had so much fun exploring the property and enjoying all of the animals. The location offers easy access to a variety of family friendly hikes and activities - and it’s absolutely beautiful. The hosts were very responsive and accommodating. We even got some fresh eggs :) Highly recommend staying here!

Thank you so much for your kind comments and for staying with us. We hope to host you again.
The host was very welcoming. The accommodation is a cute farmhouse with chickens and goats to feed. Great for kids. Close to skiing, tubing and the city.
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!@
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!
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.

Thank you. We enjoyed having y’all. See you in the future, hopefully.
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.
This property was great! We are a family of 5 including 3 kids ages 10, 12, & 13. Our kids absolutely loved how much there was to do on site! They swam, fished, kayaked, and roasted marshmallows over the campfire after spending the days hiking at Mt. Mitchell and right off the Blue Ridge Parkway. There are so many animals to interact with. I fell in love with “Larry” the resident tom cat, and my daughter and I held kittens that the property owner brought over. They also had chickens that hung out eating in the yard and goats in their respective corral. It was perfectly relaxing. We would definitely book this property again.

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 are happy you enjoyed your stay. come back and see us soon.
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!
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!

Thank you so much for the great review. We are glad y’all had a good time and hope to see you again.
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!
