About this property

Bikers, hikers, and horseback riders will certainly enjoy the easy access to Dupont Forest as one access trail is located within short walk or bike ride from the cottage.

Peaceful retreat

This our second time staying in this comfortable cabin. It’s just over a mile to the Guion Parking lot of DuPont State Forest, so it’s ideal if you’re planning a visit. Cabin was very clean and the kitchen was well equipped for all our meals. If you want to bring your horses, contact the host and make arrangements for stall or pasture rental as well. Olivia was very responsive, informative, and available if we had any questions. We also love all the little dogs that came to visit! We will definitely return.

Everything You Need, Nothing You Do Not

My daughter and I race downhill mountain bikes, and wherever we race we like to be as far from the event as possible. This location was perfect, far enough away to not be bothered by the chaos yet close enough to make the drive enjoyable. The drive to Hendersonville is only about 20 minutes. The best thing about this location, other than the lack of traffic and the location, is the working farm. The children enjoyed sitting on the porch and watching the horses and playing with the farm dogs. The owners are awesome as well. We are definitely going to stay here again next year.

Christmas Getaway

Our little family came to Hendersonville as a convenient spot from which to see family and friends in Gastonia, Shelby, Hendersonville, and Asheville during the holidays. My kiddos loved walking across the street to see the horses, and we had a delightful afternoon in downtown Hendersonville. It was rainy during our stay, so we didn’t take advantage of the cute fire pit and the proximity to beautiful hiking trails and waterfalls that my family rave about. We hope to return in the summer or fall to do so! I adored cooking on the cute yet spacious stove and cleaning up dishes in front of the large kitchen window.

Precious Cottage!

We loved our stay at the quaint farmhouse. It is a precious small cottage in all the best ways. Our children are already asking to go back. We loved greeting the horses in the morning and loving a sweet pup as well. Great proximity to all Hendersonville has to offer. We went snowtubing, explored the downtown area and hiked to triple falls before heading home. The house was very clean and had everything we needed. Can’t wait to come back for another visit.

Paradise in the mountains

Everyone in Hendersonville was extremely nice and pleasant, great food, great trails and beautiful waterfalls. The only thing I would have minimal complaint about is the low hot water pressure in the rental.

Perfect spot for weekend getaway with small children

We loved our stay and will definitely come back. Outdoor space was nice, and furniture/beds were cozy. Kitchen had everything we needed, and the cottage was clean and super cute. Note- the mattresses are on the softer side. We all slept great, but noting for folks that prefer a harder mattress. Plenty of linens and towels for everyone, and super convenient to Dupont State Park hikes and waterfalls. Also convenient to Pisgah and Brevard. The bathroom is on the smaller side, but that wasn't an issue for us. My kids loved watching the horses in the pasture across the street. Overall perfect for our weekend getaway.

Charming Cottage

The 1920’s farmhouse cottage is charming and a privilege to experience. The farm is beautiful, and every window in the cottage has an exceptional view. We arranged for our granddaughter to have a riding lesson during our visit, and we all appreciated viewing the horses in the the pasture across the street from the porch. Anyone who appreciates vintage charm in a farm setting would enjoy this location.
