Enter the Blue Ridge and Great Smoky Mountains and leave the commotion of the inner city, urban life to enjoy the serenity of a horse farm (you will have the whole cottage to yourself). Central to all the mountains offer. Close to several Event Venues and Asheville, NC. Location makes a great Basecamp for all the indoor and outdoor adventures of the mountains: hiking, waterfalls, ziplining, white water rafting, canoeing, and kayaking limited only by your imagination.

Located 8 milesfrom Asheville with exceptional local music, street fairs, history, museums, guided tours, Biltmore Estate, and eclectic downtown to shop local artists.
Please see our Guests' comments.

The barn loft overlooks the farm and is roomy with queen bed, full size sleeper sofa, full kitchen, private deck on a gated property with horses, large pond and mountain views. I live here because I love the lifestyle and know you will be entranced.

The host imposes no additional fees or charges. Any additional fees other than the listed prices are imposed by VRBO or state and county taxes. As hosts we provide clean, disinfected rooms and service, privacy and respect. In return, our guests care for and leave the cottage in good condition.

    Overall we had a great stay at the barn. It was very clean, had everything we needed, and was a beautiful and peaceful property. Loved watching the horses and donkey every morning and saying hello to the friendly kitty. Our only feedback is the beds (full size bed and sofa bed) were not very comfortable and very squeaky but we still enjoyed our stay.

    It was just what we were looking for. Away from busy. It was perfect to sit out on the deck and just hear sounds of nature. Gorgeous views of mountain. Friendly farm animals. Great host. The only downside for us, the bed was too soft and the shower a bit small. Overall, just what we were looking for in our get-away from everything.

    The accuracy of the listing could be improved. It should be clear that the property is a working farm and that people will be on the property during your stay.

    Property was not what we expected. It was essentially a room above a functioning stable. The smell of the barn did fragrances the room so we had to make a hasty retreat. The bedroom linen seemed old and unhygienic. The towels and wash rags left much to be desired. We could not stay in such conditions and spent the time elsewhere.We wish for a refund.

    This place is perfect for a family of four. The listing is spot on, the directions/instructions are very helpful, and the owner is wonderful. This spot is perfectly situated to go into Asheville or see the surrounding area. There are two sweet horses and a precious donkey. You can pet them or just watch them. The owner is very approachable and is a wealth of knowledge and insight. Would definitely consider staying here again.

    I am always so fulfilled and grateful for my time here. Laurie is a fabulous host who provides such a beautiful and serene mountain country experience. Far enough from Asheville to be so quiet and close enough to run join whatever activity you prefer. Hiking trails in any direction a short drive away. Always one of my must-do activities includes sitting on the large deck looking out at the mountains, countryside, horses, requisite farm cat, and my personal favorite, Eeyore, the all-watchful donkey. I always leave trying to figure out how soon I can return.

    I have been to many VRBOs and I have to say this is one the is at the top. If you’re looking for a place to relax and be away from everything and just let the world go this is it. The grounds are absolutely breath taking with the horses and pond and it is so well maintained. The rental is very clean and comfy with all you need to just stay in and relax. The owner was wonderful and so kind and accommodating. I can’t say enough about our stay and this place and we will be going back for sure.

    We loved our weekend getaway to Asheville and the property was one of our favorite things! Loved looking at the horses, donkey and pony running in the pastures. Laurie was an excellent host when we got a chance to chat with her Very peaceful and serene location. Loved our evenings sitting on the porch and looking at the scenery. Definitely recommend and would stay again.

    We loved the country setting so close to Asheville. The farm and surrounding mountains were beautiful, peaceful, and healing. Laurie provided privacy and security in this comfortable space. We literally wanted a safe, quiet place to rest when we weren’t sightseeing, and that’s what we got! Deck sitting at night was one of favorite things.

    We had a great time visiting the farm! The vicinity to Asheville and surrounding areas makes the barn a perfect place to hang your hat when you are done exploring. Would definitely recommend this to anyone wanting to romp in the mountains.

    Our host, Laurie, was vey kind and friendly. She helped us find some hikes we were looking for, which turned out to be outstanding sights. Then coming back to a VRBO that was a quiet, beautiful country setting help make the day complete. Having the horses in the near by paddock added to whole scene.

    As fabulous on my return visit as the first time - couldn't have been better! The owner is so helpful in every way. My visit relaxed and refilled me completely, which is what I wanted. It's also a wonderful base camp. There are brochures of fun stuff in the area. The rolling green hills, the grazing horses and mini-donkey, the mountains in the distance, put beauty all around. My stay was perfect!

    Perfect! Beautiful, peaceful views, especially from the large deck. Lovely interior - pottery dishes, wool throw blanket, seriously comfortable bed. It's perfect for a solo retreat or a base camp for all sorts of activities. I left refreshed and renewed. I couldn't have been happier with my stay.
