Anniversary trip
We can’t say enough about this property and the amazing hosts… Donna and Glen !!!! Everything was absolutely perfect. The house was so beautifully appointed and comfortable. Everything we need was there. The grounds were beyond gorgeous. Quiet and scenic. A fire pit out back generously stocked with wood. Acres of land to explore… ( take the tour with the hosts if offered.. a fun ride and the bonus of seeing their animals. A quiet location a bit out of town but not too far. Plenty of room to spread out and a pool table to enjoy a game. The hot tub was a welcome retreat at the end of a long day and the THREE! Fireplaces made it very cozy. We would recommend this place highly. One of the best VRBOs we’ve used. Thanks again Glen and Donna for a phenomenal home away from home If in the area we’d be more than tempted to stay here again!!!!

Completely Magical
Our stay at the farmhouse was nothing short of magical. We were able to coordinate with Donna to have our small elopement on the property with a lovely intimate family dinner afterwards. The house is immaculate with every need thought of. It's so beautiful and spacious and the grounds are so wonderful. The welcome basket was such a nice touch and Donna was so gracious to give us a tour of the property and advise us on a nice spot for our ceremony. I loved all the cute farm animals and the friendly cats. The neighbors dog and cats are so sweet and friendly as well. We had such a good time and would return in a heartbeat. Thank you Donna and Glenn for sharing such a warm and special place.

Picturesque, peaceful, and perfect!
The house is stunning! Every detail has been thought through and the decor was absolutely the picture of relaxed luxury. The instructions for check in and check out were simple and the home is stocked with everything you need for a mountain getaway. The location is so perfect and we loooooved seeing the peacocks, donkey, and goats! I could not be happier that we chose this location for our getaway! Can’t wait to book again!

Perfect girls weekend
Absolutely beautiful home and exactly as described. We stayed for a long weekend and had a great time. House is beautifully decorated and stocked very well. The coffee/tea set up was a really nice little bonus! We enjoyed using the hot tub and there wasn’t a single thing we felt was missing. WiFi worked great (one of my friends was able to teach a virtual class while we were there) which was a nice perk when you are staying somewhere rural. Host was easy to communicate with and left the nicest welcome basket for us. Would definitely love to stay here again it is one of the best houses I’ve rented through Vrbo.

Absolutely amazing
The house is beautiful in the photos, but when we arrived, we were blown away. It's even better in real life. It's cozy where you want it to be and sleek/updated where it matters. I enjoyed early mornings in the chess corner with a cozy fire, and my friends stayed up late every night in the hot tub. We had 6 people comfortably in the house without feeling cramped at all. I thoroughly enjoyed every minute and would gladly go back any time.

Christmas Charm
Our Family traveled from South Florida, Tennessee, and Mississippi to enjoy the beauty of this old farm house over Christmas. We experienced a nice tour and history lesson of the property and meet the Peacocks, Goats, and Chickens. The craftsmanship and charm of the renovated farm house is top notch. Our family enjoyed the hot tub, fire pit, playing pool, chess, and going on hikes. Great place for your family to reconnect without the distractions of everyday life. Definitely a 5 star all around.

New Year’s Get Together/ ski trip
My family and I absolutely enjoyed our stay at the farmhouse. The interior of the home was one of the most beautifully decorated homes that we have ever seen. Not only was it well furnished with whatever we needed, it was extremely comfortable. The owners have thought of everything, and so, we wanted for nothing during our visit. We were worried at first that it may have been too remote, but found that we didn’t want to leave and head into Asheville because the home offers so much- great entertainment, ample relaxation opportunities, and quality family time, Be sure to explore the property because there is so much to see. We will definitely be returning.
