The kitchenette offers a toaster convection oven, two burner hot plate, refrigerator drawer, freezer drawer. kitchen sink and Keurig coffee maker with coffee pods and creamer. An outdoor Weber bbq with propane is perfect for grilling. The ceiling fan keeps the air moving though a large warehouse window and bathroom window may be opened for cross ventilation on those gorgeous mountain days. The deck is secured with cable railing for unobstructed views from the in-deck hammock and large outdoor lounge. The pea gravel patio offers Adirondack chairs with a propane firepit and two chaise lounge chairs with beach towels and pillows. Solar Tiki torches gently light up the night.

Festivals abound in western NC! Fireflies in Summer and The Perseid Meteor Shower in August. Hiking all year round. So much to do!

Neighborhood highlights

We are surrounded by professionals; doctors and lawyers as well as other farms. Our farm 'feels' remote and far from everything even though we are less than a mile off of the interstate, 12 minutes from Waynesville and 20 miles from Asheville. The cabin is secluded on its own hillside shielded from any noise, views of neighbors or other visitors to our farm. A remarkably quiet and peaceful setting with incredibly easy access!
