Birthday Weekend Getaway

My family and I loved this house! It was clean, the location is great, and the farm animals are adorable. If we are in the Hendersonville area again, we will definitely put it at the top of our list to stay there again.

Great farm getaway

We have a friend that lives in Hendersonville, so this was the perfect getaway for us to see them, watch some football, and enjoy the mountains and all the animals all while being 25 minutes from the Apple festival! Great place and Johnathan was so hospitable!

This house is the cutest little farm house. The kids enjoyed staying here and seeing the animals. There’s lot of kids toys, pack n play, high hair, etc. This is the perfect house for a family with young children. We enjoyed watching the variety of movies and playing games with the family.

We had a wonderful time! Great location, very clean, easy check-in and check-out process. Loved the black out curtains. Haha, you don’t realize how important those are till you have kids. We also got to enjoy the farm and our kids pet and fed all the cute animals. Fantastic and unique view to wake up to. We will stay there again in a heartbeat!

Home away from home

If you are looking for a home away from home feel this is your place. The owner was very quick to respond and answer any questions for us. The location is great and close to downtown Hendersonville and a ton of other activities. The place is very kid-friendly and provides toys and other items for your infant to your younger kids. The animals are a great bonus and once a day you have the opportunity to help feed the animals. When we are back in town we will be booking again and we already can't wait to come back.

Home on the Range

This property was as advertised. Communication with the owners was excellent. Check-in was a breeze. We found our home clean and stocked better than most. The animals were delightful and the farm setting peaceful. The central HVAC unit worked well. The beds and pillows were quite comfortable. Pet friendly was truly appreciated. We found the price point of this home appropriate and affordable. We would rent again if in the Hendersonville/Lake Lure area.

Fall Fun

Many thanks to Jonathon and Tonya!! Our weekend stay with some family friends was so peaceful. The house generously accommodated two families (six kids ages 3-10) and four adults. The animals were such a fun addition, and there were many inside and outside games and toys to occupy our time. We didn’t really want to leave the house to explore the area for too long because it was so beautiful right there on the property. We felt like we had everything we needed. Thank you for being such wonderful hosts!! Many blessings!!!

Myself, husband and our children ages 12, 9, 7, 4, and 1 1/2 stayed for the week. We enjoyed feeding the animals each evening and went to Lake Lure beach, Chimney Rock, Asheville, and hiking during the day (all within an easy drive).
