This was a fantastic place to stay! It was clean, comfortable, well supplied, the host was just sweet! After long days walking through the Biltmore Mansion - dropping into the hot tub for body relief was wonderful. The peace we felt filling this place was totally balm to the soul. We loved seeing the horses and enjoying quiet walks around the property. I give this the highest recommendation!

The house was very charming, the scenery was excellent, and it has everything you will need for a stay. Expect some owner visits to make sure you have everything you need. They have some beautiful animals and a wonderful place, they want to make sure the tenants have everything. We accidentally left clothes in the dryer and the owner shipped them to us. We will definitely be back and be sure to not leave anything. This is a great place to be in this world.

Enjoyed our stay

My wife and I stayed at the Horse Farm Cottage for three weeks so we became very familiar with the house, the grounds and the owner. In summary, we were VERY PLEASED and would stay here again with no hesitation.The owner has devoted a lot of time to the comfort of the guests as the beds were very comfortable, with many pillow choices, plenty of soft towels, books and local information brochures. The kitchen was well stocked; not once did we say, “they don’t have one of these kitchen items.” The location is very quiet at night ensuring a good sleep.We enjoyed looking out the kitchen and dining room windows throughout the day and seeing the numerous horses grazing and moving around the pasture or an occasional deer eating along the wood line in the late evening. We spent a lot of time on the front covered porch, the side screen covered porch or the open sitting area behind that porch where the hot tub is located. It’s a 10 minute ride to two different Ingles, the Western North Carolina Botanical Gardens, many stores and the movie theater. Asheville, Brevard and Hendersonville are easily accessible as we visited each location several times. For us, location was excellentWe were very pleased with the accommodations and would easily recommend this guest house to our friends. Terri – Thank you for providing us such an enjoyable home during our stay. We enjoyed it !

Terri is a great host. Everything was clean and ready to use. We loved strolling around in the evening and enjoying watching the horses. It was the perfect spot for our week of activities in the Asheville/Hendersonville area. It was great to rent a house that everything worked and was trouble free.

Beautiful & Peaceful cottage living!

What a beautiful cottage, felt just like home from the moment we walked in the door. Pretty fresh flowers greeted us on the kitchen table. 2 very large size bedrooms & baths...perfectly sized for our stay it was myself, my fiancée & his parents. If you love quiet & tranquil space THIS is the place!! No hustle of a busy hotel...Loved looking out the window at the horses, unfortunately it rained most of the weekend so we couldn't experience too much outdoors BUT definitely plan on a Summer weekend trip & will book here again! Five stars!!

"Cottage Bliss: A Cozy Escape"

Dear Terri,Thank you so much for a truly wonderful stay at your charming cottage! From the moment we arrived, we felt right at home. Your cozy kitchen was the heart of our days, and we loved preparing hot meals together as a family. The fireplace added a magical touch, making our evenings warm and inviting.Our daughter had such a delightful time with the horses! She was over the moon to spend time with them, and it made our visit even more special. We feel so grateful for your warm hospitality and how responsive you were to all our needs. You really went above and beyond to ensure our comfort.As a small thank you, my daughter decided to bake some ricotta cookies for you. We hope you enjoyed them as much as we loved making them! The reindeer cookies were delicious. This stay has brought us so much happiness, and we will cherish the memories we've created here. We look forward to returning in the future!Warm regards,The Marrero Family
