We had such a lovely time! We primarily used this as our base for exploring the area but the house was cozy and comfortable. It was chilly when we visited so we didn't use any of the outdoor facilities but it was beautiful!

First, I apologize for the late review, the link went to junk mail.
Our stay here? Absolutely amazing! Who can complain about sitting on a porch in a rocking chair each morning watching the horses and enjoying a cup of coffee? The home was cozy, and it just felt like home. By the second day, I forgot we were renting it. Everything was provided in the house that we needed, and when I say this house was clean, it was incredibly clean. The owners of the property were around, but weren’t “in the way,” out splitting wood and taking the trash out. We rented this house to celebrate Christmas with my mom, who lives over the hill and through the woods about 10mins away. Despite going through chemo and radiation, she was able to come over and visit every day, and had no trouble getting around the house. The owners even decorated the fireplace up for the holidays!
I’m not good at writing reviews, but I can’t express it enough how much our family enjoyed this stay. 100% we’ll be staying here again! It just felt like home. What a wonderful property!

Everything about the process and property met our expectations and then some.
We were looking for a place to explore the Asheville and Blue Ridge Mountains area and this fit the bill nicely.
Great older but updated cottage overlooking the horse farm and pond. Communications with the owner were spot-on - largely just what's needed and otherwise very private. Large, well-furnished kitchen, laundry. Hot tub looked nice though we didn't use. We did make use of the fireplace one night.
If you're looking for a quick and very tasty Mexican/Salvadorian meal Mary's Burrito is very close by and we made use of it twice. If you want an excellent steak or seafood we found the nearby 131 Main top-notch.
We were able to see much of Asheville, the Biltmore as well as hike a number of trails. Loved the comedy bus tour, LaZoom more than expected even though friends recommended it.
Definitely recommend this cottage! Didn't bother us but I'll note an adjoining property is a bit of an eye-sore. You only see it as you enter or leave and it looks like additional steps are being taken to "hide" it further. We actually marvelled at it and you'd never know its there from the rental property itself. Just one of those things.

Our family (2 adults and three kids) really enjoyed our stay at this farm home. The house itself was very clean and well appointed. We enjoyed farm fresh eggs on our first morning and loved waking up to see the horses in the pasture. We enjoyed relaxing in the hot tub and watching a movie in the comfortable living room. The house feels like it is a secluded countryside getaway, while also being convenient to amenities! A 10 minute drive brings you to the Sierra Nevada Brewery- which is a must see if you enjoy beer! A 25 minute easy drive will get you to the Biltmore Estate. There is a fantastic grocery store nearby (Ingles) if you need to stock up on anything. On our last night we were able to order Chinese food through door dash and it was delivered within 30 minutes! We would definitely stay here again- thank you for sharing your lovely home with us!

Cottage at willow pond stable was pleasant , calm and relaxing . We spent our time together horse back riding in the blue ridge mountains enjoying the animals along the trail , clear blue sky and fresh clean air with moon above . Delightful lunch followed at downtown Weaverville at Twisted Laurel . All of us can’t wait to do both again . Later that evening we finished our day walking in Asheville for the ghost tour . After that full day , we concluded with a soak in the hot tub back at the cottage . Fall in Asheville at the cottage - just another wonderful day!

Everything about the cottage reflected the owners care and thought for guests. Clean, comfortable, and well supplied. And what a relaxing treat to see beautiful horses out in the pastures grazing. All of this and still so close to everything in the Asheville area. We have stayed in multiple places around Asheville over the years and this is one I will definitely rent again.

Our first time visiting Asheville and we chose this place given our child’s love for horses and the property proximity to downtown Asheville. The cottage was clean and equipped with everything necessary and appreciated the personal touch with fresh farm eggs in the fridge on arrival. Scenery was lovely, so peaceful. The highlights for us definitely were the beautiful horses.

We liked everything about it. The place was exactly as described, had everything we needed for a week's stay, and was nice and quiet. For us, the location couldn't have been better. Halfway between Asheville and the hiking we were doing near Hendersonville. Plus, it's just a few minutes from the airport. We'll definitely look for this again when we come back.

My wife and I came out for a quick weekend. I wish we could have stayed longer! Coming from the bustle of Orlando, Florida, this property was an oasis. Quiet, with horses wandering the pasture. We finally saw the barn cat, who was super friendly. The property is close enough to get to the Biltmore Estate or downtown Asheville, but far enough away to enjoy more peace and quiet.
Everything was clean and very homey, down to the farm fresh eggs left in the refrigerator for us!
If we visit the area again, we’d love to stay here!

Booked this cute cottage for my bachelorette trip and it was absolutely amazing. The location is outstanding and in close proximity to all that Asheville has to offer. It’s so peaceful and the scenery is like something from a magazine! The horses were beautiful and the barn cat was so friendly and made its way right into our pictures! The rustic decor fit perfectly and the personal touches from the owner was so sweet! We will definitely book here again!

We took a week to celebrate our 27th anniversary and have some R&R after a hectic period. The horse farm is beautiful and so peaceful. We sat outside at various places for hours including the hot tub every night. We ate most of our meals in so the stocked kitchen was very helpful. Great location being so quiet yet near things. Thoroughly enjoyed everything and will certainly be back.

We enjoyed our 45th wedding anniversary at this delightful farm! It was so awesome to get to watch the horses. The setting is so beautiful & peaceful! The cute little cottage has all the comforts of home...nice firm bed, great shower pressure, well equipped kitchen, etc. It was very clean! It is close enough to Asheville to easily get to town, but you feel that you are in the middle of nowhere! Very relaxing! Terri, the owner is very accommodating & helpful!

Just got back from a lovely 3 night stay with my family of five (daughters 10, 8, 8). The location is perfect, so convenient to the city but still very peaceful with lots of room for the kids to run around. They particularly loved the hot tub and the barn cat. The place felt really homey with many personal touches - so much better than the impersonal VRBOs run by management companies. The kitchen had everything we needed and the tap water was excellent. Great water pressure too. 100% would recommend.

Our stay at the cottage was wonderful all around. Everything was clean, functional and as described. We loved and all the animals....my daughter was super sad to leave the barn cat. The sun porch was sunny and comfy to read on and the hot tub was super clean and relaxing (if you leave the jets off you can hear the horses!). The cottage was perfectly located for our needs. It was just a 10-30min drive to anywhere we were visting...downtown Ashville, Biltmore Estate, Chimney Rock/Lake Lure. Would definitely stay here if we decide to visit Ashville again!

Perfect spot to visit. This cottage has the country relaxing feel but close enough to everything you need. We really enjoyed the farm setting, especially the hot tub. This was probably the cleanest VRBO we have stayed. It is a working farm, so know keep that in mind. Thanks for sharing your lovely home with us.

Spent a few nights on the horse farm. House was very clean and had everything we needed, even farm fresh eggs! Location is convenient enough to restaurants and stores, average 10 minute drive. Downtown Asheville was about 20-25 minutes. Hot tub was nice and clean. I would recommend the house if you’re looking to feel like you’re in the country but have the mountains close by.

The place had everything we needed. We enjoyed the hot tub. The fire place is wood, I assumed it was gas because of the glass in pics. Beds were comfortable; 1 of the 2 sofas were comfy. Would like to see farm in summer weather.

We completely enjoyed our stay at the cottage. Waking up each morning and having the opportunity to visit the horses was magical. Teri was very generous with her time answering my husband’s questions about the horses. The property was extremely clean and generous equipment with towels, bedding, and kitchen supplies. I can’t say enough great things about this adorable cottage. We will definitely be returning!

We loved our stay at the Cottage at Willow Pond Stables. Nestled quietly south of Asheville the property is a great place to slow down and enjoy family time. Cottage was exactly what we were looking for our stay. Seeing the sun rise over the pasture with horses was a great break from the norm. My wife and kids loved the place. I would highly recommend staying here if visting Asheville. Don't waste your time on the hotels.

If you are searching for a relaxing and enjoyable getaway, look no further than the Willow Pond Stables. The cottage offers all the comforts of home and includes an outdoor hot tub facing a fishing pond, and of course a pasture full of horses!! Beautiful and serene sunsets as well as incredible sunrise where horses graze happily in the pastures. You will enjoy every moment in the privacy of this secluded property.

This property was not only beautiful but was a perfect location from the show grounds. House was very clean and well maintained. We did not have time to enjoy the hot tub but loved looking out at the pond, barn and horses as we came and went. Great property we would definitely stay again!!!

This home is wonderful! It is quaint and comfy with all the amenities of home! The land with the animals was a real bonus for us-spent time with horses and goats-super friendly and beautiful. We had a great time here!

My husband and I, and his 84 year old parents stayed 4 nights while we visited Asheville, and we could not have had a better experience. We specifically needed a one story home that did not have stairs to enter, and there were not many options to choose from within our price range. This cottage was extremely clean and comfortable! The kitchen was equipped with everything we needed, and the complimentary eggs and coffee were a welcoming touch! The property was well maintained, and very peaceful. We enjoyed the setting with the horses and pond nearby. It was also a great location for accessing the Blue Ridge Parkway, and Asheville, and Hendersonville (which was great for getting fresh apples!) One of the details that I appreciated was that the closets, dressers, and bathroom drawers were empty and available for us to use, unlike several of the VRBO homes we have been in previously. This allows the guests to unload suitcases and have convenient use of the facilities. I highly recommend this cottage!
