Felt like we were far away in the mountains, living among animals, yet we were close enough to explore Hendersonville and Brevard.

There are so many things to like about this place.* Super comfortable bed & duvet* Loved the hairdo on the alpacas and the funny occasional braying of the donkey.* The hosts were great and responsive, especially fixing the wi-if connections. * We especially liked the wooded pathways and wished we could have spent more time in the wooden swinging benches along the pathways.* Liked the fast hot water temperature in the shower.* I had a closeup view of two beautiful birds, (I could not identify), that performed a whole dancing routine in the bush outside the bedroom window. * Directions were easy to follow and had no problem getting the front door key out of the lockbox. * I had wanted someplace outside of the city and this vrbo rental more than fully satisfied the outdoor-sy atmosphere.

We loved staying here! It is a charming quiet place to stay with fun trails to walk. Having the donkey, goat, and Llamas was a treat! The only sad part is we didn't see the horse that was in the listing but donkey Bell made us laugh. Our dog instantly fell in love with her, but sadly she didn't return his affection. The only semi-negative thing to note is that the bed isn't very comfortable. If you like a firm bed, you will be all set!

This property was as described. This is a dog friendly location that is not too far from everything. The roads are easy to manage. The owners are delightful and great communicators.

We cannot say enough good things about our visit to Hendersonville and this beautiful family farm. The hosts are so warm and welcoming, offering to bring us firewood and hammocks so that we could enjoy our private fire pit and take in some of the most amazing views of the evening sky that you can imagine including the Milky Way! The property is lovely, animals are an amazing treat and the walking paths on their property are the perfect morning or post-dinner treat. Just ten mins outside of Hendersonville the perfect private location with everything you need in the cozy home - very well appointed the concrete floors are gorgeous! Will definitely be back for more peace & quiet in the country x
