Beautiful & Peaceful cottage living!
What a beautiful cottage, felt just like home from the moment we walked in the door. Pretty fresh flowers greeted us on the kitchen table. 2 very large size bedrooms & baths...perfectly sized for our stay it was myself, my fiancée & his parents. If you love quiet & tranquil space THIS is the place!! No hustle of a busy hotel...Loved looking out the window at the horses, unfortunately it rained most of the weekend so we couldn't experience too much outdoors BUT definitely plan on a Summer weekend trip & will book here again! Five stars!!

"Cottage Bliss: A Cozy Escape"
Dear Terri,Thank you so much for a truly wonderful stay at your charming cottage! From the moment we arrived, we felt right at home. Your cozy kitchen was the heart of our days, and we loved preparing hot meals together as a family. The fireplace added a magical touch, making our evenings warm and inviting.Our daughter had such a delightful time with the horses! She was over the moon to spend time with them, and it made our visit even more special. We feel so grateful for your warm hospitality and how responsive you were to all our needs. You really went above and beyond to ensure our comfort.As a small thank you, my daughter decided to bake some ricotta cookies for you. We hope you enjoyed them as much as we loved making them! The reindeer cookies were delicious. This stay has brought us so much happiness, and we will cherish the memories we've created here. We look forward to returning in the future!Warm regards,The Marrero Family

We always enjoy our stay at the horse farm. Sitting in the hot tub watching the horses or the night sky is the perfect way to end a day. The fresh eggs are a nice touch.

We came down from Ohio to help with hurricane relief and visit with our children who live here. This was the perfect location and had everything we needed. Great place to unwind and relax after helping. Property is beautiful and peaceful. House is very clean and cozy.

We visit Asheville every year at some point. This has been our favorite place to stay. We decided we will only stay here in our future visits. It is so quiet and peaceful. If you are looking for a place to relax this is the place. There was not a thing my husband or I could say needs to be improved or that we wish they had. The hosts are extremely thoughtful with their starter kit for coffee and fresh farm eggs. The kitchen is well stocked for cooking. We were able to see the horses, fawn and a doe. Go for a walk around the pond. We just Love this place!

We loved our stay here! Beautiful surroundings, and I enjoyed watching the horses. Hosts have done a fabulous job providing everything needed in the cottage. The bed was amazingly comfortable. Best sleep we've had in ages! Between that and the hot tub, our backs feel fantastic. Looking forward to staying here again next time we're in the Asheville area.

Amazing Family Vacation
The property was absolutely gorgeous. Was so nice to wake up and see the horses in the pasture. Family enjoyed fishing at the farm pond each day. It was awesome to feel so secluded at the property, but be only a short drive from downtown or other shops and restaurants. The house itself was beautiful and we loved everything about it. Would absolutely look to book again when visiting the area.

Girls’ weekend at Biltmore
The house was perfect for us to get away and enjoy hanging out. Easy access to restaurants when we wanted to go out. Full kitchen for when we cooked and stayed in. It sits away from any neighbors but is close enough to Biltmore.
The house was clean and well cared for.

Great Family Stay
The property was very quaint, quiet, and just as advertised. The little ones loved seeing the horses each morning, and taking little walks around the farm. It was a nice stay and everything we needed to be comfortable was provided for. The location is great, not too far from all the parks and trails or the city. Getting around was very easy to and from the farm. Totally enjoyed it and made our spring break getaway memorable!
