Great property, new and such a pretty place.We enjoyed the privacy and nice accommodations. Beds slept good and was super clean. Owner was very available to help us. If you want a nice peaceful place, this is it.
Great property. Very clean and well stocked with essentials. Just be prepared for a very winding drive to get there from town.

Thank you for the awesome review! We are located in Historic Horse Cove, the most beautiful valley in NC. Part of the mountain experience will always be traversing the well maintained switchbacks, but the spectacular views are more than worth the journey!
The host and farmhouse were both great. Mike was awesome to work with and very responsive. The farmhouse was extremely clean and had everything we needed for a comfortable fun getaway. We would definitely stay again.
We had a great long weekend stay at this property! The house is brand new, VERY clean, well appointed, comfortable and convenient. It’s an easy 10 minute drive into Highlands via Horse Cove Road. We would definitely stay here again. The host communicated all the necessary details and was responsive to any questions. The photos provide an accurate description of the property.
