About this property

A unique apple country retreat

Come join us and relax in this comfortable home away from home on 20 acres in the apple orchard on Golden Glow Farm. The house has a beautiful patio where you can enjoy a view of the mountains in the distance while the kids play in the large yard at the edge of the orchard. That same view is available through the large picture windows in the living and dining rooms, and the master suite.

The spacious master suite on the main level is perfect for a couple looking for a weekend away. You can bring the whole family and the house will sleep 8-9 comfortably when the three additional bedrooms are used. The large living room and multiple seating areas will provide great space to socialize with your family and friends.

The house is convenient to some of the best attractions in the area while still feeling secluded and rural. It is located less than 10 minutes from downtown Hendersonville as well as multiple local wineries and breweries. This spot is a favorite for ladies' weekends. It is a 30 minute drive to downtown Asheville or to hiking trails in DuPont State Forest, Pisgah National Forest or Chimney Rock State Park.

Because our house is located in a working orchard, there will be orchard activities periodically such as pruning, spraying and picking the apples. These should be minimally disruptive to your stay. Beyond the orchard rows are several more acres growing a rotating variety of crops (pumpkins, corn, soybeans). The view is spectacular when the trees are in full bloom. Take a late afternoon walk on the two miles of wooded trails and there is a good chance that you will meet my wife and me as we walk our dogs.

First trip to Hendersonville

The house is much bigger than you would think being that it is around 70 years old. Plenty of room for my family and the grounds were beautiful. Will definitely stay here again when we travel here again.

Great stay

The little ranch farmhouse was perfect for our group. We hike the trails with the pups, enjoyed sunsets with the long-range Mountain View’s, and were able to truly relax. It was a great “homemade” for outing ing Asheville / Biltmore / Hendersonville.

Perfect family getaway

Owner communicated well from the time of booking and that continued during our stay. The home was perfect for our family to get together and have plenty of room for board games, puzzles, cooking, and eating. We enjoyed the porches and walks around the orchard. We may make this a yearly New Years tradition!

Holiday week

We had an absolutely fantastic time at the property! Everything was as advertised, and the hosts were very responsive. The bedrooms were all away from a very comfortable living room which afforded privacy for anyone wanting to turn in early. The kitchen was fully stocked with all necessary cooking tools and the dining area comfortably fit our group of seven adults. We loved the trip, and we will definitely rent this property again. JD

Quiet, secluded, comfortable

Great spot to escape the summer heat in the mountains. Everything was as pictured and described. Alli went above and beyond to accommodate our requests and inquiries. Loved the 3 season porch and generously furnished dining room. Will rent again if in the Hendersonville / Ashville area.

A wonderful experience!

Right away we felt welcomed. The house is clean, comfortable, well appointed, spacious and close to all the places we planned to visit. Morning coffee on the patio was especially nice. We enjoyed walking the trails on the property. My Golden Retriever had the best time exploring the expansive yard. Even he was sad to leave. And the view was just marvelous. Definitely will book another stay!

Wonderful, well-stocked and super convenient home

We had a wonderful stay and the property owners were lovely to work with! I really appreciated that they went above and beyond to make our Christmas vacation lovely. The home was decorated, even with a small tree, which meant a lot to me. The house is probably the most well-stocked house that I've ever seen. Not only did they have tons of spices, lots of pots/pans, cutlery, but also a crock pot, mixers, basic supplies (sugar, etc.), and even aluminum foil and plastic wrap. In the days when a lot of folks don't even give you enough toilet paper rolls to make it through your stay, they really tried to think of everything that you could need. The property is large and we enjoyed being able to walk our dog around the orchard behind the house. The house is *super* convenient to Hendersonville (one of our favorite towns) and the highway to get to Asheville as well as tons of stores. It feels so secluded, but there's an Ingles, a Walmart, and multiple restaurants like 5 minutes up the road. The views are also lovely!The only negative, which I think was some kind of glitch with VRBO, is that the listing stated that they had a hot tub, but they didn't and never have. When I spoke to them about it, they were super apologetic and got it sorted out. I'm wondering if VRBO has some AI function that adds it since they had a picture of a jacuzzi tub in the master. But in either case, they were very kind to give us a discount on our stay b/c of the mixup. Would definitely come back!

Our Second Stay

We loved this property so much last year that we rented it again this year and would absolutely stay again! The house is perfectly located just outside Hendersonville and a short drive to Asheville and Lake Lure. It's clean, the beds are comfortable, and the patio overlooking the apple orchard is our happy place!

About the host

Hosted by Alli Finlay

Host profile image
My wife and I welcome you to the home and farm where I was born and raised. My mother and father built the home in the early 1950's on farm property purchased by my grandfather in the 1920's. We had the good fortune in 2003 to be able to purchase a summer cottage on twenty acres adjacent to my father's property from another family member. That cottage is where we live full time. Although we are located here, our daughter Alli is in Atlanta and manages the bookings for us, so your initial contact will be with her.

Why they chose this property

The house is located in a beautiful rural setting but is convenient to shopping and downtown Hendersonville. It’s a peaceful place to just relax or as a resting place from your busy days at all the activities available in the area.

What makes this property unique

Although this was my childhood home, it has been renovated over the years and is such a wonderful place for family or friends to gather. Most of the family agrees that the patio is the place to be. But even a rainy afternoon can't spoil the trip. Just open the large windows on the back porch and read a book or take a nap while you listen to the rain.
