Bed was comfortable and the room is clean despite the age. Unique layout, some rooms have a back door that opens to the back yard with the view. all rooms have access to the view. If we stayed another night we might have tried the sauna. We met the new owner and she's planning to change the name and aesthetic back to a more appropriate local appalachian theme and replace all the ACs. The driveway is steep and for a second it looks like you are on a private driveway to ha home but it's fine. Nearby Saluda has an excellent bakery/ coffee place called Wakey Monkey. There is a zip line outfit next door.

I'm always moving around trying to get something done. Visiting The Farmstead at Mill Spring forced me to not think about my phone and just take a much needed break! Our tiny home was so amazing. We had everything we needed, while still getting to experience all there is to do on a farm/camping ground. We assisted with feeding all the animals on a tour, made s'mores by the campfire and even picked eggs from the chickens that we ate for breakfast! I really needed this and I will definitely be returning!

Staying at The Farmstead was sweet in so many ways. Both my toddlers have not stopped saying "tiny…read morehome" since we left. Not only did the tiny home have everything we need for cooking, but there were farm-fresh eggs on the counter when we arrived. You could easily see that everything was thought of. Each detail is accounted for! We took a trip out during the winter and we had such a great time connecting and resting. I can't wait to see what it will be like in the summer with the kayaks, etc. Thank you Farmstead. We love y'all!

Truly divine experience, THE BEST vacation rental experience my husband and I have EVER had!…read moreStaying in the Cloud 9 home was like staying in a childhood home for the holidays or the warmth of staying with a beloved grandparent. The home is truly very well cleaned and maintained and keeps all of the charms that a loved one would keep in a family home. Each bedroom had a theme which just tugged at the heart to love it a little more. The master bed was spacious and has a hot tub on the back porch just steps from the room. We enjoyed it almost every night! The heating in the bathrooms is a real treat to keep it warm post shower. We found the kitchen to be fully stocked for last minute platters needed for holiday cookies or a container to serve a rotisserie chicken in. The array of cups and glasses was vast and my favorite find were the vintage soup mugs to use for morning oatmeal! The patio and sheltered outdoor dining area are excellent to use and so incredibly functional it put us in awe. We had dinner every night at sunset with our families in the covered dining area. The sunsets are truly exceptional and the outdoor and new dining area are prime viewing spots. We used the fire table and hot tub on a nightly basis. The deck is so functional, it still has me in awe. The whole home's functionality and flow is just fantastic and we could not have been blessed with a better home to spend the holiday visiting family. We stayed with two dogs one of whom is handicapped and unable to use her hind legs. The access to grass for the dogs and sheer joy they experienced laying out on the deck in the winter sun warmed our hearts and truly brought joy to our furbabies. Every afternoon they would lay in the outdoor dining area and watch the chickens graze like it was doggie tv. Just happily observing. The whole vibe, energy and love of Cloud 9 just fit with our vibe. Any leftover food went into a bag in the freezer we kept for the chickens to peck at. They have a list of what the local area recycles so we could place in the proper trashcans. This truly fit in with our family's practices and beliefs and was refreshing to be somewhere that embraced this. Hearing about the passive heating the father who designed the home employed in the building and experiencing the sun warming the home on crisp winter days was a special and joyful time. The light pouring into the home only added to the warmth and charm which had us head over heals in love with Cloud 9. I would not hesitate to return, recommend to anyone and certainly am happy with the value. Janet was a gracious, present and communicative host. We are so very very happy we chose to spend our Christmas at Cloud 9! P.S. At Christmas Janet assembles and decorates the cutest and most heartwarming tree in the family living room. It was gorgeous and made our stay that much more lovely and holiday themed.

Grab a cut open milk jug from the shack and get to picking. You might even see Janet working in the field like we did. Kind and extremely helpful, she gave my littlest a jug and pointed us in the right direction. It was a hot summer day so we didn't stay forever but we still managed to pick enough blueberries for pancakes, muffins and scones. Payment is by the honor system so bring your cash and dollar bills. An entire milk jug is $16 - I wouldn't know what to do with that many berries! We probably picked about 2 pints worth and gave $5 to the money jug. Next year I will pay more attention to when the raspberries ripen in early June.

After a crazy year we both needed to get away, and this was just the spot. The Reach is situated high up on the property, above all the other cottages. Each cottage is completely secluded with its own driveway, hot tub, and fireplace or wood burning stove. There are trails on the property, which we greatly enjoyed, and the stargazing at night is spectacular. Cathy and her family were absolutely wonderful hosts. We mentioned we were taking this trip shortly after our anniversary, and we arrived to find a bottle of champagne, chocolates, and roses waiting for us. Oh and they really do leave you farm fresh eggs, fresh baked bread, and plenty of chopped firewood as well! The kitchen has all the gadgets you'd need for basic meals, as well at a Keurig and a little stockpile of coffee and hot cocoa. This was the most relaxing vacation I have ever had, and I nearly cried when it was time to leave. We are already planning our trip back. Location is great too, not too far at all from Black Mountain and Asheville, and a short ride from the Blue Ridge Parkway. This place is worth every single penny, don't let the one or two negative reviews impact to your decision. Please stay here!

The 16' yurt was incredible! It was so clean, well appointed, and spacious. The queen bed is super comfy, bathroom lovely, kitchenette had all we needed! We were there during the week and had our whole section of the campground to ourselves and we had the pool completely to ourselves 2 days in a row The 1st night there was a whopping thunderstorm and our yurt was so cozy! Lying in bed watching the lightning through the skylight and hearing the rain on the canvas will always be a favorite memory for us! The whole resort is so well thought out and the people are super sweet! Thank you Nancy for being so kind and accommodating!

I feel so lucky that we found this cute campground! Because of the fires there was a burn ban however it wasn't a problem. The hiking trails were very nice and everything was clear from Helene so we could access them. We were camping in our RV but there are so many great accommodations if you don't have anything to camp in. To me the best thing was the bathroom and shower! I have never been to a campground that had such great showers!! Incredibly clean and they have shampoo, conditioner and body wash in there for you to use. They even had towels rolled up in cubbies! Who has that! We loved it so much that we already booked a spot for next year :)

This has happened now twice with Greybeard where the house had 5 star reviews but was not a 5 star home. They are nice to deal with and the homes are cleaned well.
