The Jenkins were fantastic hosts extremely kind and generous all 30 days of our visit!! The house was very comfortable and clean.The front porch with the wonderful red rockers were a great place to watch the sunrise and the views of the mountains were spectacular. We had a very peaceful, relaxing 30 days . We loved our frequent deliveries of bread, pastries and wonderful jam and so much more!! Such a treat to meet the Jenkins they were wonderful to us. We will return!’

I haven’t had a guest spend a month since Covid! After a couple of weeks, this wonderful couple from Texas seemed like family. Each week, I’d surprise them with bakery items from local bakeries, vegetables from local gardens, or other sweets like honey from a beekeeper neighbor. They visited Boone, Banner Elk, Blowing Rock, Gatlinburg, Asheville and Johnson City and Jonesborough. Took in roan mountain as well. But as they said, nothing beats the peace and satisfy of taking in the sound of the creek and beauty of the mountains while enjoying a morning cup of joe (or an afternoon glass of wine) while taking in the peace and beauty of the mountains in the red rockers on the front porch!

I really don't know where to begin. But if you're looking at this property, go straight to book it, you will not be disappointed. We come to watch the race but stand at this property. It was one of the highlights of the trip. The host is amazing. I could go on and on, but the property is as described, and then some book your stay now!!And if you have the pleasure of meeting the host, sit back relax and just take it all in, a very amazing individual. And a friend for life. Thank you Roger!!

One of the real pleasures of having a rental home is meeting some exceptional people. God blessed me this week with this wonderful Godly family. Albeit facing extremely difficult medical challenges, his spirit and his heart were soaring, appreciating every breath of every hour and day and grateful for God's comfort and peace. Inspiring.

If you are looking for a peaceful, comfortable, clean retreat then look no further than the Red Roof Farm ! Starting with the host, Dr. Jenkins. I honestly believe his picture might be by the word “host” in the dictionary! He responded quicker to my quadrillion questions than any other VRBO host that I’ve ever dealt with. He grew up in the area so he knows anything you might need to know. He also popped by with yummy homemade treats! The home is one level and spacious - which is hard to find. Our group of 4 took advantage of every room - the den and the bonus gathering room both had very comfortable couches and chairs. The trout stream was a major plus!! Our two fishermen enjoyed their time walking the stream and casting. We added grilled trout to our steak dinner one night. RRF was also a great jumping off place for the great hiking in the Roan Mountain area. But nothing beats sitting on that porch watching clouds moving in and out over the mountains - and sun and shadows change throughout the day on the mountains! And if you’re quiet, you can hear a church in the distance tolling the hour!We will be back!

These guests were exceptional. Enjoyed and appreciated the house, the outside, the area, and especially what folks come for - peace, quiet, trout stream, mountain views. And enjoying the front porch red rockers while facing a dramatic Mountain View with coffee in morning or a beer or glass of wine in the evening while you listen to the distance church carillon bells that ring every hour. I've had this home on the rental market for 12 years. When I first listed it on VRBO and Airbnb, there were very few rentals. Today there are almost 100 within 20-25 minutes so competition is keen. I've not raised my price per night since listing, albeit my costs have doubled in some areas. But competition mandates I keep the price at this level so guests really are getting a bargain. While I stopped allowing large weddings (with tents, etc.) some years ago, I still allow a small, intimate one with only a few family present. Today, there is a wedding at the RRF and the family is really a wonderful one. Last week a nice family came because a member had terminal cancer and wanted a peace and quiet place for reflection and prayer. If the house could talk, it would say lots of special memories are created here. I remember an 8 year old boy catching his first fish - his first trout in the stream and it was a 18 inch brown trout. Ask me about his memory! Children love to play in the creek.

Very cool to have two graduates of Miami of Ohio be guests.....

But we sure had lots of "love and honor" stories to tell. Great guests in every way and enjoyed visiting Asheville and the hiking on Appalachian Trail

My housekeeper prides herself on keeping the house pristine and clean so that when someone walks in, they feel like they are in someone's home who has just left to run an errand. Over the 10 years I have been renting this home, the housekeeping is what people seem to notice most ..... and of course sitting on the front porch in the red rockers looking at the dramatic view of the mountains and into the face of the Roan Mountain.

Family and I came to celebrate a special time in our family timeline. The healing of my wife! Roger is an amazing host. We got to spend our family time with one another in a very beautiful area. The property is a very quaint and secluded old farm house. Perfect for what we were looking for. A home away from home that is conveniently located near many of the natural beautiful spots to explore and hike. We will be visiting again one day in the near furture. When we do. We intend to try and book this farmhouse again.

So happy the Farmhouse met the "rest, peace, recovery" needs of this beautiful family from Florida who have been through a tough, tough year. Over the years, there have been several marriages on property to one extreme, and on the other end, families who have needed a place for a quiet period for mourning the loss of a family member or seriously ill family member. Some come to hike the Appalachian Trail (3 entrance spots closely), some come to attend Bristol Speedway events (hour away); some come to ski (Beech and Sugar Mountain in Boone/Blowing Rock an hour away) some come to trout fish (incredible stream within feet of home, and others come to enjoy the extraordinary natural beauty. I treat each guest as if they were a member of my family.

Many of my guests come to take classes at Penland School, the treasure of our community/county. A very pleasant 25 minute drive to Penland School from the house. These ladies left the house for breakfast out, then to Penland for classes, then out to dinner, and finally back home. Forget cooking - although the kitchen is well equipped for the most serious cook! Loved having them.

Amazing 4th of July Weekend Getaway

We had such a restful, tranquil, fun 4th of July weekend getaway as a family. The place was exactly as perfect as in the pictures. Our son ended up catching a huge brown trout in the creek based on on our hosts' kind guidance while the rest of us relaxed on the porch. Speaking of the Jenkins family, they were all incredibly welcoming and hospitable -- we look forward to a return visit in the future!

Such a beautiful family ........... absolutely impressive parents ...... four children, impeccable manners, happy, confident, adventuresome, respectful. These parents are doing it right. And I couldn't be happier with Peter catching the monster brown .... when they arrived, I saw Peter fishing and realized that he had a passion but not a skilled for trout fishing .... I had my nephew and his son (who is a guide quality fly fisherman) to come down and spend a couple of hours with him to show him the tricks of the trade, and they caught a lot of trout .... but then when he went alone and landed the monster brown that actually broke his pole ......... everyone was in hog heaven. Left with incredible memory! I think everyone enjoyed their trips to the berry patch on the property.... with red and black raspberries and blueberries ..... blackberries weren't quite ripe. Can't wait for this family to return!

The perfect vacation!

The Red Roof cabin was perfect for our group. It is relatively close to Roan mountain (a beautiful hike), and close to Burnsville where we spent an afternoon. We thoroughly enjoyed sitting on the front porch taking in the beautiful view of the mountains. The cabin is well stocked (kitchen, bathrooms and living areas easily accommodated the five of us. Note for those who like a cold beer after a hike, the cabin is in a dry county!

Actually, Mitchell County is not a dry county - there are several restaurants who serve beer/wine etc. And one can easily pick up their beer to bring in as they drive.

This family from Florida hit gold! They badly wanted snow for sledding for their three beautiful children and they got it!!!!! It was a joy watching them sled down the gently sloped bank behind the rental house! When you see a family with three small children, you always worry about the condition they leave the home .... and this family treated it (and left it) like they would their own. They're going to absolutely join my 65%+ group of satisfied return guests!

Retired Professor and Dean

Why they chose this property

I was born in this small rural community and have been privileged to travel around the world with my work. I have found no place in the world I think is overall more enjoyable and impressive than the mountains, streams, and quiet natural beauty of this community.
Because Penland School has, over the years, spawned so many artists who have relocated to this area, there are literally hundreds of artists located within an hour of the property.

What makes this property unique

With the most impressive mountain views from the front porch while sitting in a red rocking chair, you find yourself wrapped in natural beauty on this private, gated, 27 acre farm. Not many places provide the unique opportunity to walk from your bed to a beautiful trout stream on property and land a 18 inch brown trout within minutes, then, In season, you walk a few hundred hards and enjoy blueberries, rasberries, and blackberries. Just installed large fire pit picnic area.
