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.

Quick Long Weekend visit

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.

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.

Peace and comfort

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 :)

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.

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.

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.

Peaceful and lovely

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!
