About this property

Rustic Refuge- Cabin with Mountain Views see also VRBO #3942030 on Mount Carmel

Welcome to Mount Carmel Farm and the Rustic Refuge, one of two cabins on the farm. Relax with a cup of coffee or a glass of wine while surveying views of White Oak Mountain and Saluda Ridge in the Blue Ridge Mountain foothills. The ‘Rustic Refuge’ Log Cabin is a cozy place to enjoy breakfast before heading to Main Street for antique shopping or Amish foods and furniture exploring. Have breakfast at Southern Manners, lunch at Hare and Hound, dinner at Soulisa’s and finish up with a glass of wine and live music at Overmountain Winery, Mountain Brook Winery or The Red Horse Inn. Dog friendly cabin with fully fenced backyard only thirteen scenic miles from Tryon International Equestrian Center (TIEC).

Or, take a hike—short or long—to enjoy Green River Gorge, Blue Wall Preserve, Campbell Covered Bridge or Pearson Falls and whip up your own cuisine at the cabin. Ingles has a plentiful grocery selection and O’Darbys staff can provide informed guidance on the spirits—between the two you are sure to find everything you need.

Or just soak up some slow-down time, watch the sheep meander in the pasture, read a good book, waft the mountain air, listen to the birds or stargaze the foothills big sky.
You will find the kitchen is well equipped with all the essentials and many of the nice to have extras—such as blender, griddle, wok, and more.

There are many other coffee and dining options, the favorites include Southside Smokehouse, Sidestreet Pizza, Brooks Tavern, Trade Street Creamery, Buck n Brew, Openroad Coffee House, Katie D’s NY Bagels, Caro Mi’s, Stone Soup, Harvest House and more.

See VRBO 3942030 for Restoration Station, an additional option on the Mount Carmel Farm. May add second cabin (2 bedrooms, 2 baths) for larger groups.

Flexible, ample parking with option for horse trailer or camper.

Home away from home

This was our fifth stay. The cabin is always ready when we arrive and never disappoints. Kim and Larry, the hosts, are there if you need anything and always make you feel welcome. The cabin is perfect for frequently visiting our children and grandchildren. Our dogs enjoy the yard and visiting with Kim and Larry's dogs. The atmosphere is comfortable and relaxing. We keep coming back and will continue to do so.

Perfect Stay

Peaceful quiet location with view of the mountains was just gorgeous. No The rustic cabin had everything you could need and very clean and cozy. Extremely comfortable beds and quality bed linens rendered blissful sleep. Yet the best part was sitting on the deck enjoying the view while the dogs were able to run and play free in the totally fenced back and their first time exposed to goats and donkeys in a nearby pasture. Fresh air and freedom lifted our spirits. We truly enjoyed our stay on the small farm and look forward to a return for a longer stay.

Just the right place

The property was welcoming from the moment we pulled up. It was clean, everything you need and then some was made available. The view from the back porch of the mountains is relaxing. The animals next door, donkeys, and sheep are a welcome visit as well as the friendly dogs. We had our 2 small dogs which enjoyed having a fenced area to roam outside. The location was perfect for our needs to visit family in the area as well as shops, groceries, and anything you may need. The hosts were very informative about area location needs. Overall a pleasant stay.

About the host

Hosted by Larry and Kim Phillips

Host profile image
We are from South Carolina and have loved all that our home state offers from the beaches to the mountains. We are thoroughly blessed to live in the Blue Ridge Mountains of the Upstate. We are new to Hobby Farming and have begun sheep farming in the past year. Our small farm is home to Black Belly Barbados Sheep as well as two very domesticated German Shortharied Pointer pups. We have a large family who also are nature enthusiasts.

Why they chose this property

Landrum is a great little town still charming in all the ways we remember small town USA. Landrum's slower pace and friendly welcoming feel brought us joy from the first day. Landrum's proximity to so many wonderful surrounding areas, made it the perfect fit to frequent Hendersonville, Asheville, Greenville and all the benefits, sites and scenes they offer.

What makes this property unique

Rustic Refuge is unique in that it offers privacy from traffic and yet still close to very close to town. Also, although the Rustic Refuge is very easy to get to and no significant grades to access it, in comparison the mountain views are spectacular.
