About this property

The Wren: Flat Mountain Farm

AS SEEN on The Magnolia Network's "Bespoke Inns," Southern Living Magazine, Country Living Magazine, National Geographic Luxury Collection, Plateau Magazine and more... The morning mist of a temperate rainforest hovers over the lake and the sweet songs of a bevy of birds greet you at Flat Mountain Farm. Its 28 acres have been a mountain haven and tranquil escape for more than 40 years and beckons discerning guests who aspire to escape modern-day frenzy for true tranquility. Outside, you will find a private dining area and fire pit. A short stroll down the path leads you to a private lake, fully stocked with trout, so bring your fishing poles! A five minute walk down Flat Mountain Road, takes you to Pinky Falls, our local watering hole, as well as Ranger Falls, a hike to a waterfall.
Our prices include all fees. No hidden fees.

Perfect place to recharge

Our family thoroughly enjoyed our stay in The Wren. The home is perfectly appointed. So many lovely details and an ideal layout for our family of four. The overall property is idyllic. We especially loved fishing on the dock and exploring the grounds. We will definitely be back to this special place!

About the host

Hosted by Koble Delmer

Host profile image
Welcome to Flat Mountain Farm, a historic rhododendron farm located 2 miles from the charming hamlet of Highlands, NC. Chris & Margaret Shutze moved to Highlands with their two young boys in December of 2019. They purchased the property from an eighth generation Highlander who had created a magical, rustic paradise over 40 years. Even though it was run down and in need of repair, they saw huge potential in the antique log cabins & barns. Fast forward to 2025, when the Delmer Family purchased the property and are continuing to run it as a vacation rental property and wedding and event space.

Keep in touch! We are on Instagram @flatmountainfarm. We are also on Facebook @flatmountainfarm.

Why they chose this property

Even though it was run down and in need of repair, Margaret and Chris saw huge potential in the antique log cabins & barns.

This renovated 28-acre haven houses up to 16 and host between 100-125 guests for events.
