Enjoy Asheville just minutes away then come back to relax in the Zen Garden

About this cottage rental

Situated in Upper Hominy, this attractive cottage for $340 per night is a great choice for your next trip. At our farm cottage, once home to Penley Produce, you feel like time can stand still. This Great Depression Era farm house has been re-purposed to bring together lush green pastures, wide angle mountain views, and peaceful good living. The Penley family has owned this small farm and surrounding homes for many generations. We are close to everything Asheville has to offer—Biltmore House, hiking, biking, shopping, tubing, running, the arts....the list is endless. Eclectic and funky West Asheville is just down the road offering a great collection of eateries, galleries and shops. Downtown Asheville is just minutes beyond that with a dazzling array of shops, restaurants, galleries and arts events, all infused with that unique Asheville laid back vibe. Just around the corner is the River Arts District where you can spend a day exploring one of the most active and accessible communities of working artists in the Southeast. If you get tired gallery hopping, you will find many great options for food and drink to rest a spell and rub shoulders with friendly locals who will be happy to tell you about the best local breweries. GranLloyd’s House has been recently re-designed with eclectic country feel and Zen meditation in mind. Just renovated from top to bottom, GranLloyd’s House includes a huge kitchen with new appliances, granite countertops, and plenty of room for group dining. The living room opens out to a rocking chair front deck that is perfect for your morning coffee and good book. The back deck is surrounded by a privacy fence with a grill and beautiful view of the pasture and Mt. Pisgah. A more complete description can be found below under Spa Retreat.

I rent this place because i saw the good reviews but when i arrived I though is going to be a private house but you can see the others houses and people, and the hot tub was cold water I texted the owner and he just told me when you arrived was hot i can't do nothing about that, I was very disappointed because he didn't help.

House was clean, hot tub was clean. As listed although needs updated outside photos. Location was good for our interests. Kitchen was remodeled but needs attention to utensils and dishes. The swing over looking the field and mountains was nice.

Great quiet place, many photo opportunities, beautiful mountains in the distance, clean, and just cute! We had a sister/mom weekend and enjoyed our stay, especially the private backyard and hot tub after hiking! Thank you for a great place to lay our heads.

We enjoyed our activities in the Asheville area and this property allowed us to spend less time traveling and more time exploring. We were disappointed that the pictures did not meet up with reality. Pictures are several years old. On the outside (first impression) the trees and shrubs were overgrown and the address was difficult to see. The yard and deck had not been tended to welcome guests. Rotting boards on the deck, no firewood provided for the fire ring, chairs were dirty. Inside, though surfaces were clean, the floor had dust and cobwebs in every corner. The shower curtains had not been cleaned (I cleaned the mildew off before using). Simple things like hooks, hangars, and shelves for our belonging were sparse which means most things were on the floor or stayed in our suitcases. The kitchen is spacious but not well supplied or organized. We did enjoy some time in the hot tub and on the back swing. We were disappointed that the numerous 5-star reviews did not match up with our experience.

Our group of 7 friends met up for an annual long weekend together and had a wonderful stay. House was exactly as advertised, process was easy and smooth, and we made the most of our time together enjoying all that Asheville has to offer from live music, to hiking, to restaurants/ bars and the River arts district. The hot tub was a wonderful bonus at the end of each night for us all!

My friends and I absolutely loved our stay here. The views were magnificent, we were not too far from downtown, and the hot tub and fire pit made for fun nights staying in at the house. Everything was as listed, was clean, and the host was very communicative. I would highly recommend staying here & I would come back myself!

The house was clean, quaint with a beautiful view of the Pisagh Mtn. It was wonderful being able a take a few minutes to enjoy the view while sipping my coffee in the mornings. We enjoyed the fire pit, made s’mores with the kids and chatted for hours. My husband and I were able to enjoy the hot tub as well. We definitely would like to come back again. The host Michael was accommodating and checked in on us the day we arrived, the house had everything we needed. My only feedback, would be regarding the tree in the backyard it no long fits the description, however, still enjoyed everything !

The house was clean and as described. The hot tub was lovely and clean. The landscaping had a lot of huge weeds in it, overgrown bushes, and a dead tree. For such a cute place , a landscaping clean up day would put the exterior of the house back to what the pictures show. Overall, it was a good experience and we would go back.

We enjoyed our stay. We had a 21 month old, so we loved having a fenced yard. The "newly" painted walls that were advertised are showing some wear and tear. A new breakfast set and some more hooks to hang towels in the bathrooms would go a long way, imo. There were lots of towels and bedding, and everything was well stocked. We enjoyed our stay. I would give it 4.5 stars if I could, especially since the host was so responsive.

Great location for the family to base our three days in the Asheville area. The house was clean and comfortable. The view of the mountains was lovely as we enjoyed an evening glass of wine. Our 2 1/2 year old loved all the outdoor space to run around. Would definitely recommend to other families who want a quiet retreat for the night.

WE had a wonderful time staying in the house. The property was amazing and very quiet. Getting to see the hot air balloons every morning was an added bonus. fly overs and even paragliders. -the beds are very comfy -anything you need is in the house and if not just ask Michael and he will make sure you have what you need -the hot tub was an excellent choice for us after the long hours of walking Biltmore village. -Biltmore house is very close and convenient to get to -tons of things to do in the surrounding area - check out the farmers market and dinner at Apollo Fire restaurant. the bigger location was best in our option (there is 2 in the area) over all a very good week for our family

We appreciated the privacy that the cottage provided, while still being very close to Asheville shopping and attractions. The property was lovely and clean. This would be a great place for a family with kids or teenagers. Plenty of room for yard games, a fire pit and hot tub. Additionally there is a studding view of the NC mountains. I would definitely stay here again.
