Picturesque Cottage on a Beautiful Farm

The cottage at Henry River Farm is your perfect restful retreat. Nestled between the South Mountains and Henry River, the peaceful cottage makes for a tranquil getaway.
The studio cottage is equipped with all the amenities including a queen bed, kitchen, full bathroom, lovely little dining table, A/C and TV (with DISH network).
Take it easy and relax on the spacious patio while you take in the South Mountain hills.
Come enjoy the simple farm life.

Let's talk about the space! Ship Lap on the walls from the floor to ceiling sets the scene, and beautiful hardwood floors line the cottage.

The large patio area includes a picnic table, patio furniture, and rocking chairs. Perfect for curling up with a good book and a cup of coffee.

We offer a farm-fresh breakfast basket with ingredients from our farm (when supplies are available) for an additional fee.

Nothing beats the outside charm of the eleven-acre farm. Take a stroll around the space and catch a glimpse of our farm friends including cows, pigs, goats, chickens, and ducks. (*electric fence surrounds the cows and chickens)

Enjoy private access to the Henry River for fishing (NC fishing license is required) and swimming.

Approximately 15 minutes to downtown Morganton. Less than 15 minutes to South Mountain State Park. Enjoy all the other attractions Morganton has to offer including Lake James, Table Rock, & Linville Falls.
The apartment is air-conditioned and features a kitchen and a patio, and there's space to spread out with a separate bedroom. Other standard amenities include a coffee maker, a safe, and a travel crib.

The Henry River Farm and Cottage was absolutely perfect for our anniversary getaway in the mountains. Mandy and her family were delightful as well. Even with the pumpkin patch festivities taking place, we felt we had privacy. I would love to visit again!

The floors could have used a good sweeping and mopping. The mat in the bathroom was very dirty and slippery on the ceramic tiles. In the description it doesn't say anything about having to walk down hill and over rocks to get to the river. I wasn't able to get down there. Not much privacy whatsoever. I know it's on a farm, but they never said anything about the kids running back and forth from their house to the barn and all the events they have going on on the farm. As I am a very private person,I had to close my blinds to have some privacy. Even though these things did bother me, I did enjoy watching the cows and playing with the owners dog when I did sit outside.

It was so cozy and relaxing! We enjoyed the little cottage immensely! We cooked a few meals and sat on the back porch to eat. We relaxed and visited with the cows and chickens. Maddie the dog and Allie the cat came by at least once a day for petting and company. We were traveling on business and didn’t get to hang out as much as we wanted, but the owners are fantastic to work with and super responsive. We were totally entertained watching the children go about their farm chores! Great kids! We will definitely be back!

Had an amazing time!

First off, what an adorable little cottage! My husband and I spent the night for our anniversary and had an amazing time! We were able to enjoy the peace and quiet while exploring the property and animals. It felt far enough away from everything, but was still 15 mins from everything. We went downtown for dinner and found some great places to eat. Enjoyed a bonfire and stargazing to end our night. We slept like babies in the silence of the mountains. The family was super nice and very accommodating to our needs. Everything from hooking to check out was simple. We highly recommend this property and we can’t wait to go back for a longer stay soon.

We had a fabulous stay in this quaint cottage. Just perfect for a couple wanting to get away from it all and relax. We were immediately greeted by a precious little pup upon our arrival. “Maddie’ made sure to make us feel very welcome. The cottage was exceptionally clean and very well decorated. We loved our stay

Quiet, cozy retreat

I stayed two nights in this comfortable little cottage. It’s a one-room structure with a cute kitchenette, tiny bar with barstools, and a comfortable queen bed. There’s a beautifully decorated bathroom with a bathtub/shower, tiny sink, and small toilet (a taller person than me might find it cramped). It would only be better if there were also a comfy reading chair or a loveseat, but then the room wouldn’t feel so spacious and open. Great view of the cows from the room/porch. Overall it’s very quiet except for occasional farm noise. Mandy was responsive if I needed something, but I had as much privacy as I wanted. I was greeted on arrival by a sweet cat and small dog, who were lovely porch companions. If you are seeking a solitary retreat, this cottage is a great choice, but be sure to check the Henry River Farm page on Facebook to see what public events may be happening during your stay.

Pleasant stay

We ended up spending much more time in the cottage than intended - for weather and health reasons. Not very comfortable for long term inside - there is limited seating. But the pictures show that accurately, and the outside area was very nice, with ceiling fans over very comfortable wooden rockers. Nice access to state parks, Morganton has a nice downtown with eateries, and Valdese has interesting museum and really good place for beef - Highlands Butchery. This place works really well for a few days to tour the area.

Relaxing, quiet, and comfy stay

My wife and I had a wonderful stay at the cottage on the farm. The cottage was immaculately clean and is very cute and comfortable. The host had lovely music on for us as we entered the cottage and the space was very well appointed. It is a cozy cottage, really perfect for two people. Not really space for anyone else, but it was perfect for the two of us. We had so many things that we loved about the place. First of all the outdoor space attached to the cottage was dreamy. Very large covered porch overlooking one of several pastures. The covered porch had two large Adirondack chairs as well as a small loveseat to sit and watch the cows, the donkey, and one of the pigs. The porch had two ceiling fans as well, which was nice because it was in the upper 80s/low 90s when we were there. But between the breeze coming through and the ceiling fans it was quite nice, even in the middle of the day. The porch area also has a nice picnic table for outdoor meals. The view from the cottage is lovely and overlooks a pasture and beyond that a forest. There property is on a beautiful and secluded river and the walk from the cottage to the river is about a quarter mile. The hosts have folding camp chairs available to take down to the river and we spent almost a whole day there one dat just sitting next to the river and fishing. One of the best parts of the experience was the adorable dog and cat that visited us multiple times per day and kept us company when we spent time on the porch.

Delightful Stay

This property was all we had imagined! Sooo cute! The breakfast was delicious and oh so filling! We didn't need to eat until supper! Every morning and evening the animals came to the pasture right outside the porch. Even the owner's dog and cat made sure to come say hi! We enjoyed the grill, walked down to the river and enjoyed the 10 degree difference from the house, the sound of the river was so soothing! One night we used the firepit to make some amazing baked potatoes-yum! It was so close to Morganton and Valdese and we made day trips to visit the sights there then home for the evening to relax and unwind. It was perfect and the owner, Mandy, and her children were precious! We will definitely be back and have already recommended this to others. Thank you, Mandy, for making our 41st anniversary weekend memorable and restful!
