I loved my stay! The little cottage had the softest bed ever, and two flat screen TVs! The valley in which it sits was gorgeous, and quiet except for the sounds from the friendly farm animals, who I enjoyed visiting.

Perfect mountain getaway

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 :)

Birthday get away to the mountains

The hosts are so welcoming and their farmstead of rescued animals reflects the host’s big hearts.We came to stay at their little cottage because Carvers Gap Trailhead was calling us once again. This time for a birthday adventure. The cottage sits high on a hill overlooking pastures and hills. Very beautiful location!

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.

Wonderful Mountain Getaway

We loved the adorable cabin! Sitting on the deck looking out over the valley surrounded with mountains, fire pit glowing, sounds of owls and katydids - perfect elements for renewal are here. Great hosts who made even my husband and I, who are usually rather shy and retiring, feel connected with the joyful soul of this homestead in the valley of some of the tallest mountains in North Carolina. Highly recommend visiting Nikki & Scott and their hillside cabin.

LOVE This Cottage!

Spent a long weekend here, and loved everything about it - the farm setting, the proximity to points of interest, the cleanliness, the decor... The cottage has everything you need, plus some extra treats like cocoa mix, etc. Yes, the cottage is on a hillside and there are stairs, but the view and the privacy make it worth the extra steps! (And you can pack lightly, as the unit has a washer+dryer.) We had an amazing time and can't wait to return!

Great Spot Off the Beaten Path

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!

Gorgeous Property

Had a great weekend at this little cottage. Perfect for a quiet, romantic getaway. The cottage is stocked well and beautifully decorated. They have a decent DVD and book selection, a small kitchenette with everything you need for basic meals, and a lovely view from the front porch. The only downside might be the hill you need to climb to get to the cottage, but really it wasn't that big of a problem for us. We're definitely coming back to this place in the future.
