Arden, North Carolina
Welcome to The Farmhouse in Asheville NC and wide open spaces! Drive out the quiet winding road that parallels the French Broad River to the white 1940s farmhouse on the hill. Sit on the front porch and soak up the sun as you survey the green that surrounds you. Horses graze in the field. You exhale and relax. There is corn hole, horseshoes or enjoy the firepit. Asheville has so much to offer! Float or kayak the French Broad River. There is a seasonal tubing outfitter less then a mile away - Beer City Tubing. For "do it yourself" kayaking or tubing there are 2 river access points close to our home. One is about 2 miles away at Glenn Bridge Rd Park and the other is Butler Bridge Rd by the airport. There are more upstream. One is at Lazy Otter Outfitters and then on upstream at Etowah Bridge.
As the cool of the evening sets in, relax on the patio or porch. Get away with your family or friends and unplug as you play board games or corn hole. Or drive 30 minutes to one one many of Asheville's iconic destinations: Biltmore House, the largest privately owned house in America; or 30 min the other direction to quaint Hendersonville complete with bakery, soda shop and Mast General Store. Asheville is also a hub for great hiking. We have DuPont State Forest, Pisgah National Forest, and the infamous Parkway. Our home is centrally located to so many of the attractions of the Asheville area. If you are a beer or wine connoisseur, the Asheville/Hendersonville area has become known for its microbreweries and wineries. We are approx 10 minutes to the famed Sierra Nevada Brewery. Don't forget to take a tour, it's so interesting.
If you are flying in, we are 10 min from the Asheville Airport.
My childhood home was built in the early 1940s and is modest yet comfortable. It sleeps 8. There are 3 bedrooms and a queen sleeper sofa. There are 2 bathrooms. Downstairs there are 2 queen bedrooms that share a hall bathroom. Upstairs is the master with a king bed and private bath. There is a den and living room so kids can game in one room and adults can gather in the other room. For holidays, there is ample room to prepare a meal and eat together in the dining room or spread out on the porch. To me, the best spot is the glassed front porch where the sun streams in and you can enjoy the 180 degree view.
Our goal is and has always been the comfort of our guests. We have been in the vacation rental business for 20 years (see our Lake Lure properties Vrbo#28758 and #34359). Please note this is a working farm and it is an awesome “ in the country experience” including horses in pastures near the house, lots of grass and hay fields. My sweet childhood memories come flooding back as I breathe in the smell of fresh cut grass and hay! That being said, if you suffer with allergies related to these things, this might not be the best choice for you.

This property was so special. Charming and roomy. family friendly farmhouse with the most amazing grounds! Plenty of room for family to have fun with beautiful views out of every window. Kids can run and play in the huge yard and see the horses that graze everyday. The fire pit was our every evening gathering spot. The location in Arden was ideal between Asheville and Hendersonville. Close so much! We will definitely be back. Jenny was sweet, informative and so helpful. Highly recommend!
This home really worked out well for our family vacation, with plenty of room. Great location- short drive to Asheville and Brevard. Loved the outdoor space and we were entertained by the horses!
Beautiful old but renovated farmhouse on acres. Well -equipped kitchen, great weather for eating outside at the patio table in back or sunroom table in front. Landscaped with good outdoor living possibilities. The sunroom at the front of the house was used by everyone, especially after the toddler was asleep, but whenever we were there. We used the 3 bedrooms and the sleeper sofa in the living room for our family of 8 adults. The toddler had her inflatable toddler bed, though a packnplay was available there for younger babies. Our kids and we loved our visit there, a relaxing getaway from the city. Thank you.
We had a very enjoyable stay. The house was spacious, comfortable, and clean. It had a farmhouse feel, with many upgrades. Media and internet connections allowed for streaming while checking email for work. Furnishings were comfortable, rooms were private, and the property was well maintained. Made smores with the kids at night in the fireplace. We were 20 minutes from the Biltmore and Arboretum. The horse boarding next door allowed their horses to graze, and we were able to pet the horses across the fence. Although it felt rural, yet we were close to supermarkets, restaurants, theatres, etc. We will definitely look to stay here again.
The farmhouse and surrounding property was perfect for our family. The open fields and horses on all sides of the house reminded me of my childhood home a few miles down the road. It was quiet and somewhat secluded yet convenient to restaurants, grocery stores, etc. We will definitely return to this beautiful farmhouse.
My family loved staying here. The kids had room to romp outside and the house was lovely. We were in the area for a wedding and this suited us just perfectly. Lots of amenities close by, but away from the fray. We would stay again!
I love the quiet, country estate and my family loved it too. We ended being together for a memorial service and it was the perfect location to spend quality time with family and play games that were provided. We especially loved sitting around the firepit.
Lots of space. The enclosed front porch is great.
Absolutely a slice of heaven. Enjoyed the house, location…everything!
We loved everything about this house, the location is perfect, the house was very nice and the property was beautiful. The house was very clean and homey.
We enjoyed our stay at this comfortable house on a gorgeous farm. There was plenty of space for our family, we enjoyed the outdoor dining area and fire pit, and our kids made friends with a neighbor horse. Highly recommend!
The house was great and the property surrounding the house was beautiful. My daughter loved it so much she wished she could buy it.
My family and I enjoyed a wonderful weekend at The Farmhouse. What a perfect setting for relaxation and enjoying the North Carolina climate and surroundings. This property was close to shopping for groceries and added amenities, even though not much more was needed. The kitchen had everything we needed for cooking and preparing meals. The beds were super comfortable. The house had a great enclosed front porch to sit and read while enjoying the surroundings. Jenny was super easy to communicate with. She wanted to make sure we had everything we needed for a wonderful stay. I highly recommend this property and this great hostess.
