We had such a great stay! The farmhouse was really clean, spacious, and still felt so cozy and welcoming. Being able to sit on the front porch and see the cows was such a nice touch and made the stay feel extra peaceful. The house had everything we needed for a quick getaway. We would definitely stay here again!
This is a great place to stay. House was clean and had everything we needed for our stay. The owners are very nice and even gave us tomatoes from their garden!I would definitely recommend this property to anyone looking for a place to stay in Highland County. The view from the front porch is wonderful!
We loved this house!! Everything about it! Too bad the tropical rain came and we had to leave a day early. We wanted to walk down to the creeks, too. We will stay here again!
This is a peaceful farmhouse out in the country. There are gorgeous views and you can watch the cattle. We loved sitting on the front porch, waiting for the sun to go down and listening to our friend the whippoorwill sing for us! Very convenient location for exploring historical sites like the McDowell Battlefield. I highly recommend for a relaxing get-away!
We had a really nice weekend stay. The place was lovely and clean, the location was beautiful, and the owners were very responsive. And the beef in the freezer was a really nice treat!
This was our second stay here and, like the first time , everything was perfect! Location and cleanliness of property is great. The cows were very welcoming!! Would definitely recommend and will stay here again and again.

The guys enjoyed their stay, it was nice and roomy. A couple suggestions would be a Smart TV would compliment the good wifi you already have and a baking sheet for the oven.Thank you!
We loved the spacious house and the way it was laid out. Nice touches throughout the house. The beds were the most comfortable we have ever slept on away from home. We enjoyed meeting the owners and talking with them. Will definitely be back!!!

Wow how you meet family you didn't even know that you had. Jackie ,Tim and family you are welcome back anytime. Glad and thankful you enjoyed your time here. Come on back we've got more things to do.
Great rental for our 2 night stay. Everything was easy from reservation to check in. House had lots of kitchenware and linens. I forgot to bring my tea bags and found a whole box at the rental! Loved the ground beef and eggs that where left for us to enjoy.
A lovely modern house with all the facilities you couldwant and 3 good size double bedrooms. The location was very peaceful and the cows were charming. We would recomend it whole heartedly to anyone who might be considering it.
A group of friends stayed at Big Springs B&B for a weekend trip to Highland County. The house was exactly as described, clean, and comfortable. The kitchen had everything we needed to prepare a meal and we appreciated the farm-raised beef in the freezer. The setting is beautiful. We enjoyed hearing the whippoorwills at dusk and seeing the milky way at night.
The manager was super nice, couldn't have met a better man. It was a beautiful area, the view was absolutely stunning, extremely quiet, the house was in excellent condition, we had all of the amenities we needed to make it a much more relaxing stay. I'm definitely going to book another stay there in the near future. Thanks,Ed

Ed and his group were perfect guests. Very quite left our home amazing. They are welcome back anytime. Left 2 special gifts greatly appreciated.
Peace like I had not experience in a long time. The town and people of Monterey were very welcoming. Fun fact- Elisabeth Kubler-Ross had a nearby retreat center back in the day.
