Farmhouse Retreat on 26 Acres + Mtn Views + Asheville

Welcome to your peaceful farm retreat just outside Asheville — where mountain views, fresh air, and simple country moments create memories that last a lifetime.

Tucked away on a private 26-acre farm, this beautifully restored 1920s farmhouse cottage blends charm, comfort, and a true Western North Carolina experience. You’ll feel miles away from it all, yet you’re only 20 minutes from downtown Asheville, the Biltmore Estate, and some of the region’s most loved restaurants, breweries, and hiking trails.

Start your mornings with coffee on the large deck as the sun rises over the mountains. In the evenings, unwind under the stars, watch fireflies dance across the fields, and enjoy the kind of quiet you just can’t find in the city.

Inside, the cottage has been fully renovated to provide a clean, comfortable stay while keeping its original farmhouse character. The home features 2 bedrooms with premium king and queen beds, a full kitchen stocked for home-cooked meals, and a cozy living space perfect for relaxing after a day of exploring.

Step outside and experience what makes this stay truly special. The property offers wide-open space for kids to run and play, quiet roads for biking, and a chance to interact with friendly farm animals like goats and cows. Guests often say this is the highlight of their stay — especially for families looking for a meaningful, hands-on experience.

Whether you’re planning a family getaway, a couples retreat, or simply need a place to slow down and reset, this cottage offers the perfect balance of peaceful seclusion and convenient access to everything Western North Carolina has to offer.

We also offer optional extras to make your stay even easier — from pre-stocked groceries to local recommendations and personalized touches for special occasions.

Inquire about Farm raised USDA steaks-beef for sale.

Come experience the beauty of farm life, the calm of the mountains, and the comfort of a place that feels like home.
The cottage 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 washing machine, a fireplace, and a coffee maker.

This cottage is a great getaway when you need some R&R. Very peaceful location and great views, very clean and comfortable accommodations, and just a short drive to Biltmore, West Asheville, and lots of wonderful outdoor activities. This is one of our favorite places to stay and we will definitely be back! Thank you , April!!

Darling cottage and very dog friendly. Quiet road beside the property where we could play with the puppy. The owners had a book outlining the best hikes in NC for dogs that we well used. Good location and great for a pandemic get away. Wish we were still there since we returned to 96 degrees and a hurricane coming!

The house was clean and neat with a stocked kitchen, luxury bathroom, comfortable furniture, and nice linens. Recently remodeled and landscaped. Near the road but we never heard the very few vehicles that passed. The deck is nice for relaxing and enjoying the view. We really enjoyed our stay here and highly recommend it for a short getaway or longer stay.

This house is beautiful. Yes, there’s only one bathroom so I wouldn’t go with a large group of people. However, this was the perfect spot for our honeymoon. You sit on the porch and there’s quiet. The views are amazing. The interior is extremely well done and the house was very clean. It’s a great place.

Amazing! Our favorite vacation rental!

We have rented a few times outside the Asheville area and this by far was our favorite location. April goes above and beyond to make sure your stay is perfect. She is quick to respond to any communication and incredibly sweet. The property itself is breathtaking. The perfect place to get away and relax. If you have little ones the farm animals are a must visit. We took day trips into Asheville, Weaverville, and Henderson. The cabins location made for an easy and quick drive into any activity you may want to partake. We hope to be back for a visit to the Cottage of Color again.

Experience Asheville

My husband, daughter and I came for a Christmas getaway and tour of the Biltmore and the Asheville area. This is a small place but nicely decorated and has everything you need. It was a little weird to be away for Christmas and we probably won’t do it again, but the tour of the Biltmore at Christmas was magical. The rest of the area is very nice and so unusually warm that we were really able to walk and explore downtown. We also were able to spend a lot of time on the nice deck at this home, which is quite spacious and comfortable - very unusual for late Dec! It’s always fun to check out a new city with the comforts of home.

Wonderful stay on the farm!

We loved our stay at the farm! The house was absolutely beautiful with the perfect combination of modern touches with a rustic vibe - exactly what we wanted. The setting was gorgeous, perched high up on a hill with a view of mountains in the distance. Dinner on the deck was great, although the proximity to the road detracted slightly from the peaceful quality. We loved the cows - especially our three year old daughter. We said hi to them every morning and even got to pet them a bit. We also loved Asheville, but the drive into town was a little farther than we would've liked. April was a great host, texting me back quickly to respond to my questions about the house. If you're considering a vacation in the country with the things to do nearby, I'd highly recommend a stay on the farm!
