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

Tucked in a "holler" amid hardwoods, rushing creeks, rhododendron, and a small stocked pond, is a 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 herbs, fishing (catch and release) & 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.
The cabin is air-conditioned and features a kitchen and a patio, and there's space to spread out with 2 bedrooms. Guests can enjoy a Smart TV and stay connected with free WiFi. Other standard amenities include a coffee maker, an ironing board, and a desk. Housekeeping is available on request.

Property is perfectly located between Hendersonville and Brevard. Very cozy. Driveway is a little narrow for backing out especially if u have a large vehicle. My only suggestion that could make it better is chairs on the deck that are a little more comfy. The iron chairs there are not for long time sitting. Place was clean, had all amenities we could ask for . Very pleased with out stay

Terrific Girls Getaway

My daughter and I had an amazing time in Hendersonville! The cabin was ultra peaceful, and we adored the cats and dogs on the property. The furniture was cozy, and it was nice having everything I needed to cook meals in the evening. Being so close to DuPont State Forest was icing on the cake - the waterfalls were stunning! We enjoyed brunch at Hen Dough, frozen custard at Whit’s, and flower picking at Johnson Family Farm, all of which are nearby.

A fun girls weekend away!

We absolutely loved our stay at the 1940’s Barn in Mountain Cove!! For a group of 4 it was perfect. The cabin was super clean, comfortable, cute and exactly what we were looking for. The hot tub was just a minute walk down the driveway and was enjoyable. The fire pit was fun to gather around in the evenings as we listened to music and talked. The owners did not bother us once and were right there if we needed anything. It was so tranquil with the constant sound of trickling water in a small stream to relax you in the woodsy environment. The location was perfect as it was a short drive to everything we wanted to do. I can’t wait to go back and have a relaxing weekend again.
Perfect space for a girls weekend away!

The most magical cabin!

I honestly cannot stay enough good things about this beautiful cabin and property! The beds are insanely comfortable, and the layout was perfect for my small son and I! The owners were so kind and thought of EVERYTHING! I forgot a few small toiletry items when packing and the desk in the closet had any common item you could think to need! My 5 year old played with the dogs and kittens both days ALL day, and was genuinely devastated to leave! The cleanliness is on another level and the property was SO safe! We are already checking out calender to add several days to come back! We didn’t even use the hot tub or fishing pond because we ran out of time, but can’t wait to use both upon return! If you want a beautiful spot in the mountains that feels like a spa- do not hesitate to book!

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.

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!
