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.

Come experience the beauty of farm life, the calm of the mountains, and the comfort of a place that feels like home.

Great stay at this little cottage. We stayed with my daughter and 2 of her friends and our 2 dogs. Very clean house and a great place to rest at night after all our adventures in the surrounding mountains. Very close to Asheville for some fantastic dinner options.
We will be going back.
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.
Lovely location and close enough to enjoy Asheville but far enough to be quiet. Farm setting is very pleasant and house has a newly renovated bathroom and kitchen. Highly recommend it.
If you are looking for rolling hills off a winding road, quiet (except for a few farm animal sounds), and a beautiful night sky, this cozy, clean, well equipped cottage is for you.
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!!

We'll be back!
Gorgeous place. Every detail perfected. Imagine staying at a boutique hotel but having a beautiful tranquil surrounding. What a gem, thank you for sharing your place with us!
Exactly what we imagined and more. Cozy, warm and inviting with the most incredible sunrises. Minutes from downtown Asheville with a peaceful country setting. Loved it and you will too!

Quaint and cozy
We loved the area. It was very quite and comfortable. I think my family and I had 3 of the best nights sleeps in a really long time. We had everything we needed for the 3 days we were there. Owner was extremely easy to deal with and was very accommodating.
The Cottage of Color was immaculate. The view from the outdoor deck was very relaxing. The cottage is only twenty minutes from Asheville. We choose it because it was unique from the numerous cabins in the area. Having access to the farm animals was an added plus!

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.
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!
Very nice clean place,very quiet and close to all activities In Asheville.
It’s was great, the owner of the property needs to be aware of the entrance steps. It’s painted cement and they get very slippery when wet. My wife slipped on them and sprained her wrist. Maybe they should put non skid strips on them. I too slipped on them even after being aware they were wet and walking carefully.
I hate it’s taken me so long to leave a review, life has been BUSY!! We stayed here for Easter weekend (2023), and it was perfect!! Our 12 year old loved the space we had for him to run around, even though it was freezing and pouring, he STILL made it outside like any boy would do! The home itself is so cute and perfectly decorated. The size was perfect for us and all the included things made it so easy to settle in with no worries. It’s just a short BEAUTIFUL drive from downtown Asheville, perfectly settled away from the hustle and bustle of the downtown area. This will DEFINITELY be our place to stay during any of our Asheville trips!
Oh, and I must add, the owner was able to work it out to where we could check in just a little earlier, which was a life saver. It was POURING when we arrive is Asheville (that really is an understatement) and the owner was able to work it out to where we could check in a little early! I was and am so appreciative of that. You don’t need to look any further, THIS IS YOIR PLACE TO STAY!!!
The Fore property is majestic, and we were blessed to have the opportunity to stay here. The interior design, exterior landscaping, walks on the property, rolling fields, steaks on the gas grill, farm animal visits and mountain views made the stay so memorable. It was very peaceful. And Bryan coordinated for us to leave with some of their farm fresh beef, which was great. We live locally but had not learned about the farm prior to coming -- so we feel fortunate to have learned about this magical spot! What a gift!!
I love this cabin, clean and comfy. The drive up the mountain was fun and scary at the same time. We had Thanksgiving dinner in the cabin and I did bring some cookware with me thinking supply may be limited for a big meal. I’m glad I did that but there is enough if you’re not making a lot of side. Would love to go back in the winter!
