About this property

Picturesque Cottage on a Beautiful Farm

The cottage at Henry River Farm is your perfect restful retreat. Nestled between the South Mountains and Henry River, the peaceful cottage makes for a tranquil getaway.
The studio cottage is equipped with all the amenities including a queen bed, kitchen, full bathroom, lovely little dining table, A/C and TV (with DISH network).
Take it easy and relax on the spacious patio while you take in the South Mountain hills.
Come enjoy the simple farm life.

Let's talk about the space! Ship Lap on the walls from the floor to ceiling sets the scene, and beautiful hardwood floors line the cottage.

The large patio area includes a picnic table, patio furniture, and rocking chairs. Perfect for curling up with a good book and a cup of coffee.

We offer a farm-fresh breakfast basket with ingredients from our farm (when supplies are available) for an additional fee.

Nothing beats the outside charm of the eleven-acre farm. Take a stroll around the space and catch a glimpse of our farm friends including cows, pigs, goats, chickens, and ducks. (*electric fence surrounds the cows and chickens)

Enjoy private access to the Henry River for fishing (NC fishing license is required) and swimming.

Approximately 15 minutes to downtown Morganton. Less than 15 minutes to South Mountain State Park. Enjoy all the other attractions Morganton has to offer including Lake James, Table Rock, & Linville Falls.

Loved this!

We had a fabulous stay in this quaint cottage. Just perfect for a couple wanting to get away from it all and relax. We were immediately greeted by a precious little pup upon our arrival. “Maddie’ made sure to make us feel very welcome. The cottage was exceptionally clean and very well decorated. We loved our stay

Had an amazing time!

First off, what an adorable little cottage! My husband and I spent the night for our anniversary and had an amazing time! We were able to enjoy the peace and quiet while exploring the property and animals. It felt far enough away from everything, but was still 15 mins from everything. We went downtown for dinner and found some great places to eat. Enjoyed a bonfire and stargazing to end our night. We slept like babies in the silence of the mountains. The family was super nice and very accommodating to our needs. Everything from hooking to check out was simple. We highly recommend this property and we can’t wait to go back for a longer stay soon.

Cutest pumpkin in the patch

Second year booking this property for our anniversary and we can’t wait to get back. We didn't actually make it there this year due to the hurricane, but we’re holding our breath that everything is up and running in no time.

First of all thank you so much for opening your farm to us! It was nice and peaceful! The surrounding area offers lots of beautiful walking trails, and depending on day rover access, on top of the beautiful farm! Did miss out on the farm fresh breakfast so will probably be back! Clean, welcoming, a wonderful mountain get away

This was a lovely stay with a lovely, hearty breakfast basket. Cleaner than most VRBO’s and the hosts gave us plenty of privacy. Beats any hotel.

Pleasant stay

We ended up spending much more time in the cottage than intended - for weather and health reasons. Not very comfortable for long term inside - there is limited seating. But the pictures show that accurately, and the outside area was very nice, with ceiling fans over very comfortable wooden rockers. Nice access to state parks, Morganton has a nice downtown with eateries, and Valdese has interesting museum and really good place for beef - Highlands Butchery. This place works really well for a few days to tour the area.

Life on the farm

Very cozy and very small, but fine for 2 people. Plenty of patio room outside to enjoy watching an actual working farm, with cattle, chickens, pigs and a friendly dog & cat! Very relaxing and a nice walk down to the river!

Country livin’

Really neat place if you want to get away from city life and enjoy peace and quiet. Owners are very friendly and responsive. I wasn’t there long enough to try the breakfast “which upsets me because I’m sure it would have been delicious”. Plenty of wildlife and stock animals that I’m sure kids would love it. Almost stole their cat though. We became buddies and everytime I would go outside, here came my little buddy to keep me company. I would highly recommend a stay here.

Henry Farm Stay

We had a wonderful time there. The hosts have a little store where they sell strawberries (delicious I must say) and other items. They are very nice and all of the animals are friendly. Especially the cat and dog. The cat led us down towards the river like a tour guide. I would stay here again for sure.

Quiet, cozy retreat

I stayed two nights in this comfortable little cottage. It’s a one-room structure with a cute kitchenette, tiny bar with barstools, and a comfortable queen bed. There’s a beautifully decorated bathroom with a bathtub/shower, tiny sink, and small toilet (a taller person than me might find it cramped). It would only be better if there were also a comfy reading chair or a loveseat, but then the room wouldn’t feel so spacious and open. Great view of the cows from the room/porch. Overall it’s very quiet except for occasional farm noise. Mandy was responsive if I needed something, but I had as much privacy as I wanted. I was greeted on arrival by a sweet cat and small dog, who were lovely porch companions. If you are seeking a solitary retreat, this cottage is a great choice, but be sure to check the Henry River Farm page on Facebook to see what public events may be happening during your stay.

Perfect Getaway

Really cool super clean quiet place in the country. Perfect for a weekend getaway. Plan on getting away from the hustle and bustle and enjoy the quiet farm and very friendly animals. Well appointed small cottage with comfy bed and studio kitchen. Very private but yet just next-door to the owners. Lots of little touches like snack basket and bath accessories.

Perfection!

My husband and I absolutely LOVED our stay at the farm!!! It was as described but so much better in person! We fed the cows apples, took a cold plunge in the Henry River, watched the sunset, had coffee with the cows, enjoyed the fire pit, and loved on Maddie (dog) and Alley (cat). We also enjoyed hiking Hawksbill and South Mountain State Park. Unfortunately, a few places in downtown Morganton were closed on Mondays and Tuesdays but that just gave us more time to enjoy the farm. We would absolutely recommend staying at the Cottage!!

Quiet Farm Country

The cabin has all the amenities one or two people would need. There are great resources for restaurant and activities. The walk to the river is so peaceful. You may be greeted by a very sweet doggo and cat. The chickens are sweet and croon to you as they walk past you sitting outdoors. A truly delightful stay.

Henry River

A beautiful country setting. The cabin was clean and quiet - and the 'neighbors' (cows, donkey, pigs, chickens, cat, and dad) were very friendly. Highly recommend. Will return as we are able! (Also - recommend getting the breakfast - outstanding home-grown food!) :-)

I wish we stayed longer

This is pure rest and relaxation. Just my wife and I for 1 night, but as soon as we sat down in the rocking chairs, we knew we should have done another night. Solid breakfast and they already have everything you need. We brought a speaker, but actually turned it off to just enjoyed the silence and each others company. We will absolutely be going back.
