Wow, this is a beautiful little place to stay. Very peaceful, serene. The animals are everything you could hope they would be. You can tell the owners work hard to make this an amazing place. Clean, quiet, back porch is awesome. Breakfast was delicious! Look no further if you want a getaway in Morganton. We absolutely loved it!

First off, what an adorable little cottage! My husband and I spent the night for our anniversary and had an amazing time! We were able to enjoy the peace and quiet while exploring the property and animals. It felt far enough away from everything, but was still 15 mins from everything. We went downtown for dinner and found some great places to eat. Enjoyed a bonfire and stargazing to end our night. We slept like babies in the silence of the mountains. The family was super nice and very accommodating to our needs. Everything from hooking to check out was simple. We highly recommend this property and we canât wait to go back for a longer stay soon.
Our stay was absolutely delightful. This property is a gem! The host did everything and more to make the stay comfortable. Their was thoughtful details like small breakfast items etc etc we will definitely stay again !!!!!!
We had a fabulous stay in this quaint cottage. Just perfect for a couple wanting to get away from it all and relax. We were immediately greeted by a precious little pup upon our arrival. âMaddieâ made sure to make us feel very welcome. The cottage was exceptionally clean and very well decorated. We loved our stay
I stayed two nights in this comfortable little cottage. Itâs a one-room structure with a cute kitchenette, tiny bar with barstools, and a comfortable queen bed. Thereâs a beautifully decorated bathroom with a bathtub/shower, tiny sink, and small toilet (a taller person than me might find it cramped). It would only be better if there were also a comfy reading chair or a loveseat, but then the room wouldnât feel so spacious and open. Great view of the cows from the room/porch. Overall itâs very quiet except for occasional farm noise. Mandy was responsive if I needed something, but I had as much privacy as I wanted. I was greeted on arrival by a sweet cat and small dog, who were lovely porch companions. If you are seeking a solitary retreat, this cottage is a great choice, but be sure to check the Henry River Farm page on Facebook to see what public events may be happening during your stay.
Second year booking this property for our anniversary and we canât wait to get back.
We didn't actually make it there this year due to the hurricane, but weâre holding our breath that everything is up and running in no time.
First of all thank you so much for opening your farm to us!
It was nice and peaceful! The surrounding area offers lots of beautiful walking trails, and depending on day rover access, on top of the beautiful farm! Did miss out on the farm fresh breakfast so will probably be back!
Clean, welcoming, a wonderful mountain get away
We ended up spending much more time in the cottage than intended - for weather and health reasons. Not very comfortable for long term inside - there is limited seating. But the pictures show that accurately, and the outside area was very nice, with ceiling fans over very comfortable wooden rockers. Nice access to state parks, Morganton has a nice downtown with eateries, and Valdese has interesting museum and really good place for beef - Highlands Butchery. This place works really well for a few days to tour the area.
My wife and I had a wonderful stay at the cottage on the farm. The cottage was immaculately clean and is very cute and comfortable. The host had lovely music on for us as we entered the cottage and the space was very well appointed. It is a cozy cottage, really perfect for two people. Not really space for anyone else, but it was perfect for the two of us.
We had so many things that we loved about the place. First of all the outdoor space attached to the cottage was dreamy. Very large covered porch overlooking one of several pastures. The covered porch had two large Adirondack chairs as well as a small loveseat to sit and watch the cows, the donkey, and one of the pigs. The porch had two ceiling fans as well, which was nice because it was in the upper 80s/low 90s when we were there. But between the breeze coming through and the ceiling fans it was quite nice, even in the middle of the day. The porch area also has a nice picnic table for outdoor meals.
The view from the cottage is lovely and overlooks a pasture and beyond that a forest. There property is on a beautiful and secluded river and the walk from the cottage to the river is about a quarter mile. The hosts have folding camp chairs available to take down to the river and we spent almost a whole day there one dat just sitting next to the river and fishing.
One of the best parts of the experience was the adorable dog and cat that visited us multiple times per day and kept us company when we spent time on the porch.
This property was all we had imagined! Sooo cute! The breakfast was delicious and oh so filling! We didn't need to eat until supper! Every morning and evening the animals came to the pasture right outside the porch. Even the owner's dog and cat made sure to come say hi! We enjoyed the grill, walked down to the river and enjoyed the 10 degree difference from the house, the sound of the river was so soothing! One night we used the firepit to make some amazing baked potatoes-yum! It was so close to Morganton and Valdese and we made day trips to visit the sights there then home for the evening to relax and unwind. It was perfect and the owner, Mandy, and her children were precious! We will definitely be back and have already recommended this to others. Thank you, Mandy, for making our 41st anniversary weekend memorable and restful!
I loved my short stay on the Farm. Will definitely visit again. The house was very cute and convenient. The property was beautiful and inviting. Absolutely loved my stay!
Really neat place if you want to get away from city life and enjoy peace and quiet. Owners are very friendly and responsive. I wasnât there long enough to try the breakfast âwhich upsets me because Iâm sure it would have been deliciousâ. Plenty of wildlife and stock animals that Iâm sure kids would love it. Almost stole their cat though. We became buddies and everytime I would go outside, here came my little buddy to keep me company. I would highly recommend a stay here.
My husband and I absolutely LOVED our stay at the farm!!! It was as described but so much better in person! We fed the cows apples, took a cold plunge in the Henry River, watched the sunset, had coffee with the cows, enjoyed the fire pit, and loved on Maddie (dog) and Alley (cat). We also enjoyed hiking Hawksbill and South Mountain State Park. Unfortunately, a few places in downtown Morganton were closed on Mondays and Tuesdays but that just gave us more time to enjoy the farm. We would absolutely recommend staying at the Cottage!!
My husband and I enjoyed our stay on the farm and had a wonderful time visiting South Mountains Park and Morganton's downtown area. Our weekend getaway was perfect.
