Great property, clan and perfectly located to go to Asheville and Biltmore. We really enjoyed our stay in the peaceful environment, surrounded by horses.
Terri is a great host. Everything was clean and ready to use. We loved strolling around in the evening and enjoying watching the horses. It was the perfect spot for our week of activities in the Asheville/Hendersonville area. It was great to rent a house that everything worked and was trouble free.
Cottage is a great place to stay. Can be anywhere in about 15 minutes. We had two adult couples and the space was perfect. A beautiful family horse farm!
Absolutely beautiful to wake up to birds chirping and horses in the pasture. Fishing and laughing with my husband was great. Rhis place gave us calm and relaxation. The hot tub was a great addition.
Didn’t spend a lot of time at the property, but when we did it was nice and relaxing! Hot tub felt great after a day of walking around the Biltmore, and the horses and wildlife were so enjoyable. Would definitely stay again!
We always enjoy our stay at the horse farm. Sitting in the hot tub watching the horses or the night sky is the perfect way to end a day. The fresh eggs are a nice touch.
Very nice and relaxing stay at the cottage for a long weekend with friends. Kitchen had all that we needed to make a simple breakfast or a larger dinner. It was nice to start the morning with a bit of time in the hot tub and again at the end of the day.
If you're looking for a place to relax and feel semi-secluded, this is great! The farm feel with horses, barn and pasture that are close enough to enjoy made this a fun and relaxing get-away.
We really enjoyed our stay. The horses came to greet us upon our arrival. The home was perfect; clean, comfortable beds, stocked kitchen amenities. Beautiful, serene away from it all and still close to shopping and eateries. Highly recommend this property.
We loved our stay here! Beautiful surroundings, and I enjoyed watching the horses. Hosts have done a fabulous job providing everything needed in the cottage. The bed was amazingly comfortable. Best sleep we've had in ages! Between that and the hot tub, our backs feel fantastic. Looking forward to staying here again next time we're in the Asheville area.
We really enjoyed our stay. It was perfect for the two of us. Just close enough to Asheville that we could enjoy all the quaint town has to offer. We would definitely stay again.
The property was absolutely gorgeous. Was so nice to wake up and see the horses in the pasture. Family enjoyed fishing at the farm pond each day. It was awesome to feel so secluded at the property, but be only a short drive from downtown or other shops and restaurants. The house itself was beautiful and we loved everything about it. Would absolutely look to book again when visiting the area.
Terri was super nice and we loved hearing the family history of the property! We loved seeing the horses, goats and chickens... We will definitely book again and we wished we lived there full time!

About the host
Hosted by Terri
Growing up on the original 103 acre farm, Terri has a true passion for what she and her husband of 35 years have ventured into. Though the farm has dwindled in size, Clay and Terri Vick still maintain and operate 17 acres as a horse boarding facility, keeping their own horses as well. Realizing horses were going to be a huge part of our lives we created Willow Pond Stables 28 years ago. Now we are excited to offer A Cottage at Willow Pond for others to share our joy in this wonderful place we live.
Why they chose this property
The house has been part of the family for 50 + years. Terri's grandfather raised a large family on this farm. It was his wish to continue to have horses and family here. He would be pleased to know people can come enjoy what he started.
What makes this property unique
Off the beaten path, yet so close to all conveniences. Nestled in a beautiful valley, horses all around the property. Enjoy nature at its finest, fox, deer, frogs, fish, and occasionally a duck in the pond. Sounds of horses grazing just outside the front door. Goats, cat, chickens, miniature horse, and donkeys are on the property too! Only 5 minutes to restaurants, gas, movies, grocery and shopping.
