Cozy Country Loft Cottage in the NC Mountains. No added fees.

Enter the Blue Ridge and Great Smoky Mountains and leave the commotion of the inner city, urban life to enjoy the serenity of a horse farm (you will have the whole cottage to yourself). Central to all the mountains offer. Close to several Event Venues and Asheville, NC. Location makes a great Basecamp for all the indoor and outdoor adventures of the mountains: hiking, waterfalls, ziplining, white water rafting, canoeing, and kayaking limited only by your imagination.

The barn loft overlooks the farm and is roomy with queen bed, full size sleeper sofa, full kitchen, private deck on a gated property with horses, large pond and mountain views. I live here because I love the lifestyle and know you will be entranced.

Disappointed and dissatisfied

Property was not what we expected. It was essentially a room above a functioning stable. The smell of the barn did fragrances the room so we had to make a hasty retreat. The bedroom linen seemed old and unhygienic. The towels and wash rags left much to be desired. We could not stay in such conditions and spent the time elsewhere.We wish for a refund.

Cozy Base For Mountain Adventure

This place is perfect for a family of four. The listing is spot on, the directions/instructions are very helpful, and the owner is wonderful. This spot is perfectly situated to go into Asheville or see the surrounding area. There are two sweet horses and a precious donkey. You can pet them or just watch them. The owner is very approachable and is a wealth of knowledge and insight. Would definitely consider staying here again.

Rejuvenation Spot

I am always so fulfilled and grateful for my time here. Laurie is a fabulous host who provides such a beautiful and serene mountain country experience. Far enough from Asheville to be so quiet and close enough to run join whatever activity you prefer. Hiking trails in any direction a short drive away. Always one of my must-do activities includes sitting on the large deck looking out at the mountains, countryside, horses, requisite farm cat, and my personal favorite, Eeyore, the all-watchful donkey. I always leave trying to figure out how soon I can return.

Absolutely breath taking and relaxing

I have been to many VRBOs and I have to say this is one the is at the top. If you’re looking for a place to relax and be away from everything and just let the world go this is it. The grounds are absolutely breath taking with the horses and pond and it is so well maintained. The rental is very clean and comfy with all you need to just stay in and relax. The owner was wonderful and so kind and accommodating. I can’t say enough about our stay and this place and we will be going back for sure.

Laurie was an excellent host when we got a chance to chat with her Very peaceful and serene location. Loved our evenings sitting on the porch and looking at the scenery.

Relaxing weekend getaway

We loved the country setting so close to Asheville. The farm and surrounding mountains were beautiful, peaceful, and healing. Laurie provided privacy and security in this comfortable space. We literally wanted a safe, quiet place to rest when we weren’t sightseeing, and that’s what we got! Deck sitting at night was one of favorite things.

Beautiful Country Setting

Our host, Laurie, was vey kind and friendly. She helped us find some hikes we were looking for, which turned out to be outstanding sights. Then coming back to a VRBO that was a quiet, beautiful country setting help make the day complete. Having the horses in the near by paddock added to whole scene.

As fabulous on my return visit as the first time - couldn't have been better! The owner is so helpful in every way. My visit relaxed and refilled me completely, which is what I wanted. It's also a wonderful base camp. There are brochures of fun stuff in the area. The rolling green hills, the grazing horses and mini-donkey, the mountains in the distance, put beauty all around. My stay was perfect!

A little piece of heaven

While visiting Asheville we decided to stay near mountains. We were about 13 mins away from main area. As we were driving we had our doubts but when we turned onto road the view was magnificent as it was from the deck. Thaw apartment was perfect, ambiance lovely and the offer for fresh eggs from host was delightful. It was hard to leave.

Found: Hidden Gem Nestled in the Majestic Blue Ridge & Smoky Mountains!

I highly recommend this charming cottage that we fell in love with. Stayed two nights with my kids (18 & 26 yrs), and we did not want to leave. Not only did it meet and surpass every need and expectation, it provided a uniquely refreshing experience that we want to return to. It’s rare that you find accommodations this special and that check every single box, at such an exceptional value. Laurie, the owner/host, provided excellent directions and instructions complete with photos, so check-in went seamlessly. She respected our privacy, yet was just a text or phone call away and responded immediately when contacted. The cottage was clean, open, and bright, and stocked with all the essentials one may need. We slept great; comfy beds and quiet, peaceful nights. You would never have known there were stables below, unless you already knew or saw them yourself. They were so neat and pristine with no unpleasant odors or noise from the equines, which were equally clean and very well taken care of. It was obvious that they are adored. Laurie and her sweet four-legged helpers made us feel so warm and welcome. We were happy to meet her lovely Arabian horses and the handsome donkey, Mr. Eeyore. They were all so friendly and gentle-natured. The large terrace provided the perfect vantage point to look out of and take in the breathtaking views. Being around the wonders of nature has a way of putting things into perspective, and gives you an exciting new energy to return home with.
