Wow, A big catch in the onsite Trout pond! Tasty rainbow trout for dinner.
Look out for the bears.

It's time to play in the creek at your back door. Quartz crystals abound. Gold?

This is our second time staying at the property and just like the first time it was great. Post Hurricane Helene the place is up and running and back to normal. The accommodations and the host are amazing. Quick response, friendly, and very helpful… we will stay again.

A little slice of paradise

This cabin is just a few miles from our house and was rented for family members as we did not have enough room at our home. We all ended up spending some time there relaxing or fishing with grandkids. House was cozy and clean, Mountain View’s were great, Host Mark made sure everyone had what was needed.

Wonderful time

We had a wonderful time at Mark and Jacqueline’s cabin. They were so helpful and kind. The cabin was perfect for a laid back, relaxing week. It was well stocked with essentials and a great location with stream, trout pond, and other fun things that entertained our 3 year old son. It was also close to Brevard and the Pisgah National Forest so it gave us plenty of opportunity to go out and explore. We would definitely stay there again!

What a great place! We stayed a week, there was sun there was rain, and even ice on the grass! Loved feeding the fish! Pisgah National forest has lots of things to do. Waterfalls, hiking, scenic views, and having a comfortable warm place to return to was fabulous. Mark and Jacquie were wonderful hosts! We plan on returning!

We stayed a week and absolutely loved our stay. If you’re looking for serenity and beauty that surrounds you like a hug, you’ll want to stay at Maggie’s. We’ll be back with and without family since you can’t absorb all all there is in just 1 visit. Strongly suggest grabbing breakfast items and any grocery type before you get to the cabin(s). You’ll be happy you did because you just want to stay on the farm.

Beautiful location and lovely hosts

We stayed at Maggie’s Farm this August and I can’t say enough good things about the location and the hosts! Desperately needed a peaceful and restful getaway after the loss of my Mom. The accommodations were excellent, cozy and inviting. Everything you could possibly need was provided by the hosts. We brought our mini Pomeranian with us and she loves the creek. The vegetable and flower gardens were beautiful and we enjoyed fishing and and the local waterfalls. Jacquie and Mark incredibly warm and kind and really made our visit even more special. They made us feel welcome and are truly the heart of this amazing place. We will definitely be back and hope to bring our kids in the future.

Just what our family needed!

The hosts were absolutely amazing. The cabin was very comfortable. Maggie's Farm is such a serene property. The creek was soothing and cool. We enjoyed wading in it. One morning my husband and I were having our coffee on the porch and a fawn was wading in the creek. We saw a number of deer during our stay. Jacquie and Mark warmly welcomed us throughout our stay. They gave us flowers from their garden upon our arrival. Jacquie invited me into their home to see her jewelry collection and I bought a few pieces. Our 10 year old grandson had an over the top experience fishing in the pond. He caught 4 trout and one was quite sizeable-a lifelong memory for our family. My husband and son grilled the trout for our evening meal. One night we had a fire and had smores under the stars with the gentle country sounds. Mark gave us vegetables from his garden as a going away gift. We had such a grand family time of connection and renewal. We are grateful for our experience at Maggie's Farm!!!!

We absolutely loved our stay at Maggie’s Farm! Mark and Jacquie are a joy and we loved our daily chats with Mark about his garden and the surrounding areas. Our boys loved playing in the creek and fishing .. we brought no toys with us and the boys were very much entertained by nature , we even built a fairy garden by the creek . The kitchen was well equipped with everything need. We’ve already started planning our trip back for next summer and have recommended Maggie’s Farm to family and friends . Thank you Mark and Jacquie!

We enjoyed hiking to nearby waterfalls and the scenic views to and from the cabin. It was great meeting Jacquie and Mark and their playful dogs. Jacquie brought us homemade bread that was delicious!

Best cabin, best owners, best dogs!

The cabin location is why we booked. Close to our favorite hikes and a short drive to Brevard for food and essentials. The reason we will continue to book here is because Mark and Jacquie (and their trio of pups too!). They're the sweetest couple with lots of knowledge of the area. They truly make you feel right at home. It helps that the cabin was pristine too! Their property is beautiful, we spent hours outside with our dog exploring. You can truly see the hard work they've put into the property and we are so blessed that they are willing to share it with others. There's a reason they have so many great reviews and we will be absolutely back in the near future.

At the Waters Edge

Quiet peaceful setting on a working farm. Babbling brook at back porch is quite unique and relaxing and provides a nice backdrop for eating meals. Smaller mountains rise from this valley and BRP just up the road. The cabin is pretty minimalistic and a great place to rest between outings. Pack your food ahead of time like we did and you can skip the hustle and bustle of The World for a few days! Besides the BRP, 215 also provides views and a connection to Waynesville and the edge of the Smokies. Lots of Forest Roads to explore in the area too.

About the host

Hosted by Mark Hatch

Host profile image
We were tired of the corporate life we were living and just working to pay bills. So we decided to take a leap of faith and buy a cabin in the forest of NC on a cold water creek, just outside of Asheville near the Blue Ridge Parkway. We wanted a more peaceful meaningful life. Mark is originally from Southampton England and Jacquie from Boston Massachusetts. We met in Central Florida working in our busy careers. We decided that when we retired we would buy a farm in the mountains and grow our own food and live off the land. It has been the most peaceful rewarding 10 years of our lives. We have 3 friendly dogs, 2 German Shepherds and a Hound.

Why they chose this property

We spent over a year looking for the perfect property for us. It had to have several things: a creek, high elevation, pasture, forest land, a beautiful town was a must (Brevard), close to activities and near a city (Asheville). This property had all we were looking for and it was on the market for only 72 hours. Living here is like a slice of heaven. There is 5 1/2 acres on Maggie's Farm and we border thousands of acres of Pisgah Forest on 2 sides of the property. We built our home across the creek and in the very back corner of the property. In case of emergency we are just down the road a bit.

What makes this property unique

The back deck is so relaxing, watch and listen to the creek while enjoying a lazy afternoon. Just beyond the creek we border the Pisgah National Forest where there are thousands of acres of forest and trails. Transylvania county is "The Land of Waterfalls" with over 250 waterfalls. The property location is the perfect jumping off point for nearly everything you want to see or do in Western North Carolina and come home to a comfy cabin and bed. There is a stocked rainbow trout pond on property along with 1000+ feet of natural cold water stream with brown trout running through the farm directly behind the cabin. Maggie's Farm has blackberries, blueberries and raspberries for picking. We grow a wide variety of fruits and vegetables which can be eaten while on your stay. You can actually have a full dinner all from food grown right here on the farm during the harvest season.
