    This was an amazing stay. Donna and Glenn are wonderful and very responsive. They’ve done a great job with the renovation of this old house. It’s very modern and cozy. Well stocked kitchen if you want to cook and multiple sitting areas. The automatic fireplaces are an extra cozy touch which we used each day and night. The house was very clean as well. Beds were super comfortable. There is a conservation area within a short distance that has a donkey, goats and sheep, peacocks, chickens and cats that we drove up the hill to see. We got to meet the animals and explore the property a bit, though being December it was quite cold. All in all a very lovely stay and would stay again.

    Very clean home. Love the decor. Love the soaking tub! Has plenty of land to hike and loved the farm with all the animals!!! Plenty of space to park. Would definitely come back with family or friends. Close to biltmore and downtown Asheville but just far enough for that country feel. The Hosts were great!

    We booked this house for a birthday vacation and it was exactly what we needed. The property sits on beautiful acreage, so it felt peaceful and tucked away, yet close enough to town that we never felt too far from anything. The house was cozy, and had everything we needed. We loved waking up to the quiet countryside and ending the day in the hottub. The host was communicative and made check-in super easy. Would absolutely stay here again next time we’re in the Asheville area!

    The hosts are great and the home is amazing. 20 minutes from downtown Asheville and 30 to Black Mountain. This was our 2nd stay here and hope to do many more in the coming years.

    We stayed here for a few days after a busy week in Orlando (alllllllll the parks) so we wanted a nice relaxing stop on our way back north. This farmhouse was the perfect place. It is a gorgeous home that has been updated with everything we could have possibly wanted. It was clean and comfortable. Our hosts left a lovely gift basket with wine and treats for our stay, which we did not expect but really appreciated. The kids had fun exploring the property and meeting the animals. We truly enjoyed our stay and would definitely stay here again if in the area.

    Our family of four so enjoyed our getaway. The home is clean, spacious, thoughtfully updated, and comfortable. We had everything we needed and more. I slept better than I have in ages and I hope we get to visit again.

    This property was exactly as advertised. Everything was clean and the hosts were easy to communicate with. The house is located a little out of the way, but that was what we were looking for. During our trip, we visited the Great Smokies and Asheville, and the property location made it easy to do both.

    We chose this home for our summer elopement. Everything was beautiful. The home has many photo ops. The details that were put into this home were so well thought out. The hot tub is very clean & large. Visiting with the cows, chickens, cats, donkey, peacocks, and goats added a great bonus of our trip. The property is beautiful. Kitchen was fully stocked with all that you could need. This was a beautiful location! Everyone who was there for our big day complimented the home and all the lovely details. Donna was always just a text away with an immediate response. 10/19 recommend!

    This house was perfect for the adults in our family to escape the rat race. From having coffee on the back patio every morning to drinks in the hot tub under the stars, it was amazing. We had everything we needed for a week of relaxation. We loved it so much that we will be back very soon.
