The chickens were a great and surprising welcoming committee! The kids loved meeting them and giving them treats. Overall nice accommodations and the farm fresh eggs were a plus! Our hosts were great communicators and quick to respond before and during our stay. For things to do nearby- Hiking trails were 10-20 minutes, lots of overlook opportunities too. If you have a chance also checkout the Appalachian Mountain Brewery down the road, even if you don’t like beer it’s a nice location with inside and outside seating, family friendly, and high quality food.

Great place for small group

This is a great place for small groups. It is in a good location, close to the Blue Ridge Parkway, Asheville and Hendersonville. It is fun to have the ducks and chickens around the cabin.

We had a wonderful stay! It was pouring rain but the ducks and chickens still visited us. We moved our cookout indoors and the kitchen was just perfect. We had everything we needed. It was cozy and warm and we had the best time.

Spotless rustic feel with modern conveniences

This property is an Amish built rustic style cabin that is absolutely flawless and clean as a whistle. The styling is just right, but all the modern conveniences are there. A nice blend. There are free range chickens and ducks on the property that will come visit and will safely and politely eat from your hands, a welcome treat for both you and the birds. At night it was comfortably dark and quiet. Excellent place to stay if you are visiting the Asheville area.

Cozy cabin with peaceful porch

I wanted a true cabin in a woodsy setting for a reunion of three long-time friends. The wood paneling and rocking chairs on the porch facing west suited us well. The chickens and ducks wandering through were a bonus, as were their fresh eggs in the fridge! We looked for hiking trails which had been mentioned but didn't find much and Mary confirmed that they are yet to be developed. The kitchen was adequate for our simple meals and the beds were comfortable. We were glad we had good weather and could go on outings as the place was too cozy for three to spend full days on the property.

This was an excellent place for my family of 3 adults and a 4 month old baby to share for a weekend. There was lots of room for us and all of the baby items as well. The kitchen was roomy and nicely equipped. The beds were very comfortable and a perfect front porch for rocking and watching wildlife. I counted 12 deer literally steps from the front porch 1 morning. The only complaint is that the rocking chair in the bunk room needs to be replaced because it’s very creaky and squeaky and therefore can’t be used to rock a baby to sleep. If we go back to the area, we’ll definitely stay here again!

A Lovely Quiet Cabin Retreat

Our host was warm and helpful. My husband and I met my 93-year-old mother and 2 of my sisters to spend quality family time in one of our favorite parts of the country. We loved the beautiful wood construction and the general peacefulness of the cabin. We all love animals. So a particular highlight for us was the bevy of chickens and droll trio of ducks that live on the property, happy to snap up any little leftovers offered to them. We enjoyed watching movies together as the hosts generously provide streaming services to guests. This is in no way a slam on the property - it’s simply meant to be helpful. My mother did have some trouble negotiating the cabin and its surroundings. But, for anyone who doesn’t have difficulties moving around, we would absolutely recommend this place.
