We have built a gravel driveway up to the cottage. If you have a low-lying vehicle, you will most likely have to park and walk up to the cottage.It is a short walk, but it is uphill. You can view the hill in the pictures. Four wheeled drive vehicles are strongly recommended**

I don’t even know where to begin! This place was absolutely wonderful! Scott & Nikki were so accommodating and hospitable. Loved being on the farm and hearing the roosters in the morning and being greeted by the cats. Very relaxing and quiet. The cottage had everything I needed and more. The only down side is that I had to leave. Exactly as described and if you don’t book this you will miss out. I can’t wait to stay again.
If you have a need to unwind and want a quite place to enjoy a cup of joe this is the place. Cute doesn't quite cover it if you like a little Hippie vibe. Nice comfortable bed, hot shower, Clean and amazing views really enjoyed the stay. Only thing to note almost need 4 wheel drive to access and quite a few steps.
We loved this property! It's a perfect getaway spot from the every day fast life. The animals are super friendly and the cottage is adorable. We will definitely be returning over the summer! Can't wait to see the property again!
This property is simply charming; serene and quiet with a beautiful pastoral view. The cottage is clean and well-kept and has TV and internet if you still want contact with the busy world outside. If you don't, there are plenty of happy and well-fed animals in the sanctuary to keep you busy.
Oh my... this was the neatest lil’ cottage ever! It’s so peaceful, the decorations are fun and the owners are the best! We will be back!!
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the cottage! It was right in the middle of Boone and Asheville, and we didn’t mind the extra driving since the scenery was so beautiful. Super clean, comfortable bed, and the perfect location! Visiting the animals was a nice perk too :)
Such a beautiful stay! Everything is comfortable and cozy. Accommodations are definitely geared more for a couple wanting a romantic getaway but the isolation and comfort of the cabin fit for a couple of friends too! The ambiance around the cabin at night is intoxicating! The owners are kind and friendly and have great communication. Overall worth the trip even if you want to get away for one evening. You will want more tho!
This stay was perfect for my wife and I. Great access to multiple hiking locations while still being secluded. Easy access to Roan Mountain, Appalachian Trail, and Elk River Falls trailheads. The property itself is a great experience. The cottage is just right for a two person stay, with a well appointed kitchen and a nice soft bed. The farm animals didn’t make enough noise to wake us up in the morning. Book here!
I always like to find a place off the beaten path to take in nature while we travel and this cottage fit that bill! It's quiet (we didn't even hear the roosters in the morning), uniquely decorated (fun and colorful, love the wood on the walls!) and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay (fridge, stove top, toaster, even a few necessities in the bathroom). Getting to go down the hill and visit the animals was an added perk. My husband and I would take a stroll down the hill and to the road before heading out for our activities for the day. Speaking of the hill, it's quite steep in some spots. We were able to drive up with our 4 wheel drive but like Nikki notes in the description, low lying vehicles will not make it up the hill. Would definitely stay again if we come back to the area.
Very excellent property, lived up to the advertising, the owners Scott and Nikki are really good people the first night I checked in which was Saturday night I hung out with them on their patio, good people. I will be back!!
Both Nikki and Scott were very friendly and helpful. The farm animals had soo much character and were quite entertaining. Loved the serenity of the moutain views. Would stay there again.
Words can’t describe this place, it’s paradise for animal lovers.
Peaceful and lovely
We only stayed one night but plan to definitely return when can stay longer. Directions were great and owners were very welcoming and helpful upon our arrival. Cabin is exactly as described and absolutely charming. Comfortable bed. Soft sheets. Soft towels. And the animals are adorable!! We visited the store and got fresh eggs to take with us! Watched a beautiful sunset. And so many extras in cabin to enjoy! Drank coffee on porch in swing and rocking chair before we reluctantly headed back on our journey to visit relatives in the area. We would love to return when the leaves are colorful because the cabin is surrounded by mountains. A wonderful, relaxing place. Thankful owners share it.
Beautiful property with amazing hosts. Want a relaxing, quiet getaway? Love animals? Love the mountains? You definitely need to stay at this VRBO. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
View for days! I just can't say enough. Perfect place for me! Will definitely stay again!
My partner and I had an amazing experience at Scott and Nikki cottage! We planned a quick last minute trip out to the mountains and the cottage .are pur trip perfect. Definitely will be looking forward to staying there again in the future!
Cabin had all the creature comforts and was clean. The property was beautiful and offered amazing views! The animal reserve aspect was a cool addition and only added to the experiance!
I'm so thankful I found this special place for a personal retreat - I was looking for a peaceful place where I could rest, recenter and recharge. The Campbell Farm Animal Sanctuary is that and a lot more. Thanks to Nikki and Scott for being great hosts, and a big hug to all the animals. I felt very at home here and hope to return.
