About this property

Picturesque Cottage on a Beautiful Farm

The cottage at Henry River Farm is your perfect restful retreat. Nestled between the South Mountains and Henry River, the peaceful cottage makes for a tranquil getaway.
The studio cottage is equipped with all the amenities including a queen bed, kitchen, full bathroom, lovely little dining table, A/C and TV (with DISH network).
Take it easy and relax on the spacious patio while you take in the South Mountain hills.
Come enjoy the simple farm life.

Let's talk about the space! Ship Lap on the walls from the floor to ceiling sets the scene, and beautiful hardwood floors line the cottage.

The large patio area includes a picnic table, patio furniture, and rocking chairs. Perfect for curling up with a good book and a cup of coffee.

We offer a farm-fresh breakfast basket with ingredients from our farm (when supplies are available) for an additional fee.

Nothing beats the outside charm of the eleven-acre farm. Take a stroll around the space and catch a glimpse of our farm friends including cows, pigs, goats, chickens, and ducks. (*electric fence surrounds the cows and chickens)

Enjoy private access to the Henry River for fishing (NC fishing license is required) and swimming.

Approximately 15 minutes to downtown Morganton. Less than 15 minutes to South Mountain State Park. Enjoy all the other attractions Morganton has to offer including Lake James, Table Rock, & Linville Falls.

The Henry River Farm and Cottage was absolutely perfect for our anniversary getaway in the mountains. Mandy and her family were delightful as well. Even with the pumpkin patch festivities taking place, we felt we had privacy. I would love to visit again!

It was so cozy and relaxing! We enjoyed the little cottage immensely! We cooked a few meals and sat on the back porch to eat. We relaxed and visited with the cows and chickens. Maddie the dog and Allie the cat came by at least once a day for petting and company. We were traveling on business and didn’t get to hang out as much as we wanted, but the owners are fantastic to work with and super responsive. We were totally entertained watching the children go about their farm chores! Great kids! We will definitely be back!

The floors could have used a good sweeping and mopping. The mat in the bathroom was very dirty and slippery on the ceramic tiles. In the description it doesn't say anything about having to walk down hill and over rocks to get to the river. I wasn't able to get down there. Not much privacy whatsoever. I know it's on a farm, but they never said anything about the kids running back and forth from their house to the barn and all the events they have going on on the farm. As I am a very private person,I had to close my blinds to have some privacy. Even though these things did bother me, I did enjoy watching the cows and playing with the owners dog when I did sit outside.

Loved this!

We had a fabulous stay in this quaint cottage. Just perfect for a couple wanting to get away from it all and relax. We were immediately greeted by a precious little pup upon our arrival. “Maddie’ made sure to make us feel very welcome. The cottage was exceptionally clean and very well decorated. We loved our stay

Cutest pumpkin in the patch

Second year booking this property for our anniversary and we can’t wait to get back. We didn't actually make it there this year due to the hurricane, but we’re holding our breath that everything is up and running in no time.

First of all thank you so much for opening your farm to us! It was nice and peaceful! The surrounding area offers lots of beautiful walking trails, and depending on day rover access, on top of the beautiful farm! Did miss out on the farm fresh breakfast so will probably be back!
