1940's Barn in Mountain Cove - Near DuPont Waterfalls & Hiking

Tucked in a "holler" amid hardwoods, rushing creeks, rhododendron, and a small stocked pond, is a newly converted cabin that began as a barn in the 1940's. "The Acorn" is part of our family's active homestead complete with chickens (fresh eggs! when the girls are laying - winter, not so much), potbelly pigs, fresh herbs, fishing & more.

The Acorn has been impeccably cleaned, insulated, painted, and outfitted with many modern amenities to make your stay quaint and comfortable. The den/dining/kitchen combo was the former barn, and the "sleeping lodge" - a super large room with a privacy partition - was built in the early 80's to serve as a private community library and to teach reading literacy.

Come stay Yonderways where the pace is relaxed, the mountain air fills your lungs and soul, and where the frogs and fireflies perform nightly from your private deck by a mountain stream.

Located 1/2 mile to Holmes Educational State Forest, and less than 5 miles to DuPont Forest. Centrally located between Hendersonville and Brevard, and only 15 minutes to Flat Rock, Pisgah Forest, and many other popular mountain attractions.

Cute Cottage
Great location between Hendersonville & Brevard, with a short travel to Asheville. We really enjoyed our stay. Only bummer was the bed was not comfortable at all. But otherwise it’s a great stay and great location.

Wonderful Cabin Retreat
This is a very well appointed cabin with all the comforts of home including a stocked kitchen, wifi, streaming services, outdoor dining and recreation areas . The proximity to the Dupont State Park and it's three beautiful waterfalls cannot be beat! The owners were friendly and responsive communicators. We will be back.

Amazing! Book it now!
Our stay at the Acorn surpassed my expectations. The property owner made the check in clear and easy, which was wonderful after our 8 hr drive. There was a personalized message for us when we arrived, and the cabin was clean and so very cozy. The pics do not do it justice! the decor is so cute, the beds all super comfy, and a great layout for family. We settled right in and right from the start it just felt like home. Everything we needed was on hand and Donna checked in via text regularly to make sure we had everything we needed. The fresh eggs were delicious. Great location too, close to everything we wanted to see. If we could move into the Acorn we would in a second! We got to chat with Donna and Keith and they a the sweetest people ever (cute dogs and kitties too) Definitely plan on booking again.

New Years in the Holler
We were looking for a New Year's getaway in the mountains and found the Acorn. It was perfect for us Close! Close to everything, just enough space for us, had all the amantes we needed, and Debbie and Keith were awesome!! Get some of Keith's peanut brittle if you can! I would highly recommend this for a mountain get away to rest and relax and recharge.

Love at first sight
We fell in love with this cabin on first sight. Immaculate, with a fully stocked kitchen and absolutely heavenly queen bed and pillows. We loved the way the cabin was decorated. and immediately felt at home. We were able to prepare most of our meals there. We also liked having the owners and their two dogs close by. The owners were friendly but also respected our privacy. Very convenient to hiking and the DuPont waterfalls. We were sad to leave and hope to be able to return next year.

Hidden gem
We absolutely LOVED our stay! The cabin and set up was even better than the pictures. Everything is well stocked. They left fresh chicken eggs for breakfast and wrote a personalized welcome message for us. Plenty of toiletries, towels, and more. Our family of 5 fit comfortably. Owners were extremely welcoming and friendly. Our kids loved watching and playing with their dogs, cats, chickens, fish. There is a cute outdoor fire pit with hanging lights. It is also close to restaurants, orchards, and downtown. We can’t wait to come back for another visit!

Lovely little cabin
We enjoyed our stay in this lovely little cabin. It had a rustic appeal to it. It was well-stocked, well-organized and clean. It had everything we needed. It was close to the places we visited like Sliding Rock, Looking Glass Falls, Caesar Head, Triple Falls and Asheville. The owners were very nice and responsive to our questions. Loved the fresh eggs and s’mores kit (which we weren’t able to use due to the rain). We highly recommend this place and we’d love to come back in the future!

Property was exactly as described- wonderful. Had everything you could need and then some. Very clean and easy access. Centrally located for hiking trails and to visit the Biltmore Estate. Lots of communication. Lots of little extras. Would definitely stay again.
