Thanksgiving stay

We have been staying at Cherry Mountain Farm over the years and always look forward to it!! Debbi makes us feel “at home” and is very great to work with! The kids love the farm animals, and we love having our own space with a kitchen and laundry room that makes traveling easier with children! We look forward to coming back to visit soon!

Fabulous 5 star experiene! Wonderful house and staff

Beautiful property. Guest house is first class. Debbie and Craig (owners) are wonderful people. Our dog loved it here also. The General Store has unique items for sale and also an extraordinary Case knife collection for sale. There are fantastic wineries nearby, and a great store for food shopping (Ingles) less than 30 mins from here. We will be back!

This was our second trip to the Cherry Mountain Farm and General Store. We love spending time at the farm and shopping at the General Store. Debbi is the perfect guide around the farm and takes time to teach you about the animals. The house is beautiful and the farm is delightful. We will be booking another stay soon.

We can not stay enough positive things about our family getaway. Debbi and Craig made us feel welcome from the moment we arrived. The house is perfect. The farm is amazing. The animals are delightful and each one has a name. The General Store has unique souvenirs and gifts. We are already planning another trip this fall.

Relaxing on the farm

My family really enjoyed our stay. The house is beautiful and very clean. The land around it is beautiful. I loved sitting on the porch in the mornings with coffee looking at the mountains in the distance. Debbie is a wonderful hostess. She shows you around the farm and lets you interact with the animals. The pigs are so much fun! We plan on returning.

Peaceful & Fun Farmhouse Stay

My hubby and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Cherry Mountain Farm. The house was beautiful, cozy and very well appointed and Debbi was a lovely host. Very warm and communicative during our stay. We really loved our tour of the farm and getting to meet all the animals. Debbi has a passion for her animals and it really shows. We got some rain during our visit and it made for the perfect day to stay in and relax in the lovely surroundings. We could not recommend it more if you want a great place to get away. We left feeling very well taken care of and with new friends. We look forward to coming back.

Lovely spring stay at the farm

We came back to the farm this spring as we enjoyed being there so much last summer. The house is gorgeous and spotless, we love all the dogs, goats and pigs, and Debbi is just the most wonderful host. Even our dogs are in heaven to play with the house dogs and roam in the huge yard. The location is great to get to hikes in the area and return to sunsets on the farm in the eve. At the same time you can get to grocery stores, coffeeshops and restaurants in 15 min if you want.

Wonderful Family Getaway!

Our family had such a lovely stay at the farm. The cabin itself was perfect in every way, from a gorgeous front porch for morning coffee, a comfortable living room to read and relax, and, finally, extremely comfortable beds to end the day. The owners were a delight and eager to show us the property and animals. The animals were so sweet and offered fun and therapeutic company. My daughters especially loved the pigs, Frick and Frack, and all the dogs! We will be back! Thank you for sharing a bit of paradise with us!

Our favorite getaway!

Debbi and Craig make all their visits feel so welcome! Their home is beautiful and so clean! This is probably our 6th or 7th visit and it is always impeccable! The location couldn’t be better! It is 45 mins to Hendersonville and the same to Black Mountain. 30 mins to Morganton. It is a relaxing respite from city life yet close to any amenity you could want! The animals on the farm are so friendly and great to visit! There are many yummy restaurants and ice cream shops very close too! Thank you Debbi and Craig for another fabulous vacation!!

Great family getaway!

Hands down the nicest VRBO we have stayed at. The guest house was beautiful , stocked with everything you need, and very clean. The farm is great for kids - our very timid 5 year old loved all the animals, especially the dogs! Our 2 dogs loved the large fenced in yard and relaxing on the porch. Highly recommend the children’s museum in town if you have young children, a shopping trip to Black Mountain and an afternoon at Parker Binns winery for the amazing scenic views. The general store at the farm is stocked with so many cute things- I can’t wait to wear my angora socks. Our only regret is that we didn’t stay longer. We’ll be back!

Absolutely loved our stay on Cherry Mountain Farm

We had a wonderful time on the farm and felt so at home right away that none of us wanted to leave after our stay - even our Bernedoodle was sad to leave his farm friends ; ) The house itself is absolutely wonderful and Debbi thinks of everything one could possibly need. Debbi and Craig have been so generous sharing their time and property and welcoming us in their barn and even washing our doodle there after he rolled in the mud. Debbi was always there to recommend fun places to visit and even let our doggy out in the fenced yard when we were gone for a long stretch some days. Loved the goats, piglets, dogs and horses and Debbi's company. We will be back !

Relax at the farm. Great place, great host.

We had a fantastic time visiting this farm. We had great hosts that allowed our kids to play all around the farm and spend time with the animals. We can’t say enough about how nice it was (the house was extremely clean and comfortable!) and how friendly all the animals are (beautiful horses, beautiful dogs, and the friendliest cats). The location is great as you are just far enough away from city life to really feel the farm life but about an hour away from many major cities or visiting spots nearby. We wish we could have spent more days at the farm. We absolutely recommend staying at Debbi and Craig’s farm. We would love to go back on another occasion. Thank you for the great memories that my city kids will never forget.
