This is a peaceful farmhouse out in the country. There are gorgeous views and you can watch the cattle. We loved sitting on the front porch, waiting for the sun to go down and listening to our friend the whippoorwill sing for us! Very convenient location for exploring historical sites like the McDowell Battlefield. I highly recommend for a relaxing get-away!

Great 2 Night Stay

Great rental for our 2 night stay. Everything was easy from reservation to check in. House had lots of kitchenware and linens. I forgot to bring my tea bags and found a whole box at the rental! Loved the ground beef and eggs that where left for us to enjoy.

beautiful, peaceful stay!

A group of friends stayed at Big Springs B&B for a weekend trip to Highland County. The house was exactly as described, clean, and comfortable. The kitchen had everything we needed to prepare a meal and we appreciated the farm-raised beef in the freezer. The setting is beautiful. We enjoyed hearing the whippoorwills at dusk and seeing the milky way at night.

Perfect

Property was very clean, spacious, and had all the amenities we could need! Clean towels and bedding, snacks, some beef from the farm, and lots of room to roam. Host was very communicative and gracious! Plenty of firewood for the firepit, propane grill (that actually had propane in the bottle), chairs for the fire, they really had everything covered. Will definitely be staying again!

Beautiful Getaway

Stayed hear over two night at the end of trip. It’s a very comfortable place with nice views front and back and plenty of room for a small group of friends and family. It’s also conveniently near some great hiking spots in the GW National Forrest. The kitchen had everything I needed. Durwood was responsive and easy to communicate with and he gave me all the info I needed for my stay. Recommended!!!

Family Getaway

Very comfortable and welcoming home a-way from home - lots of "extras" available stocked in the pantry. The Farm fresh eggs were a special treat! The bedrooms were spacious and comfortable and the large living room and kitchen space was great! The only drawback occurred our last night - when we had an invasion of flying bugs come in through the AC units. The area itself is delightful!
