Visiting family
My son and I stayed at this property for 7 nights with my Golden Retriever Henry. We come down to Morganton every year to visit older relatives down here and have always stayed in hotels. I am so glad I found this rental!The house was perfect for the 2 of us.It felt like home right away. My son is up later at night than I am so we slept on opposite ends of the house! The beds were so comfortable.The kitchen had everything we needed and then some. We grilled on the gas grill 3 of the nights. Having 2 bathrooms was really nice too. The Food Lion was right down the road for groceries. Dara was very responsive to any questions we had. Check in and out was very easy. The farm is so beautiful and peaceful. The back porch swing was great looking out on the horses and pastures. The horses were beautiful and we loved petting them and giving treats. They were the highlight of our trip. My son had never been around horses before and he loved them. Noodles the donkey is hilarious and really liked my dog! Henry loved the horses too. The chickens and peacocks visited often. The koi pond was wonderful.We spent several nights sitting out there on the patio and watching the stars. We saw shooting stars and we think a satellite.Henry was fascinated with the Koi when they came up to be fed. We will be back next year for sure. Thanks again Dara!

We loved our stay at the farmhouse. Lovely to wake up to the koi pond and gaze out at the horses. Quiet and serene, yet close to town.

Nightmare
We arrived on Friday evening with all guest 8 total. After realizing there wasnt as many beds as the listing states i asked for extra sheets for the pullout beds which ened up being only 1. She then bombarded me with calls insisting i pay more money...$450 more bc of the number of guests even though the listing states the house accomidates 10. Under beds and couches and cushions were disgusting. The oven was also not clean. I own a business cleaning vacation rentals in my area and that is not acceptable. We were there for a good time not a long time so we paid the money and then called VRBO for a refund. Be careful when booking. Make sure all fees are added or you may be forced to pay alot more.

Great visit
My 13 year old granddaughter & I had a lovely visit. The horses, donkey and goat were fun- the koi were fascinating. The a/c was the perfect respite from the heat and humidity. Comfy beds, clean & quiet setting to enjoy time together.

Such a great stay
Had a great weekend stay. The property owner was so kind to my family, especially my oldest. She gave her some carrots to feed the farm animals there. It was a lot of fun for the kids to pet the animals and see the koi pond. She even helped us by working with us on our check out time so we wouldn't be stressed about an event we had to attend. I would recommend this property.

Great place to spend Christmas!
We had 5 adults and a 6 year old and sometimes a dog staying over Christmas and we had a great time! There was plenty of space for everyone! We had 14 family members come over for a few hours to celebrate Christmas and the kids all watched a movie in one living room while the adults visited and played games in the other. The hosts had the house decorated for Christmas complete with a tree. We enjoyed the cats, pigs and chickens and several of us rode Precious and Victor, their beautiful horses. We would love to come back again!

Terrific time!
The property was picturesque and the people super nice. Able to celebrate a birthday upon arrival thanks to the farm manager sneaking birthday candles onto our back porch. Horses were gentle and friendly. We had a great time and will do it again!
