Absolutely perfect cabin nestled within a farm; my family and I had such a wonderful time here. The owner was communicative, provided animal feed for us, had great ideas in their welcome binder and let us know of upcoming events in Black Mountain. It was super accessible to the greater Asheville area as well. Cabin was decorated and appointed super well; great internet, smart TVs, stocked kitchen, etc. Looking forward to our next visit out there!

We had a wonderful stay! Scott was very accommodating to make sure we had everything we needed during our stay. The animals were a bonus! The hosts provided food labeled in the cabin for the animals so we could feed them (along with the fresh eggs!) Scott let us see and hold the baby ducks…so cute! The cabin was very clean and tastefully decorated with all nice and new amenities from the kitchen stocked with plenty of the latest appliances, utensils, dinnerware, glassware, coffeemaker to the comfortable number beds plus a convenient washer/dryer. The hosts thought of every detail to make it feel like home especially with the fresh linens, wonderful shampoos/soaps and room sprays that are from a local store downtown. The cabin is conveniently located in a quiet area very close to downtown where there is plenty of choices for food and shopping! We will be back for sure!

Clean Pretty Thoughtful Cabin and Owners

We absolutely loved staying at The Gertie Cabin! The interior is very pretty and all of the extra touches are very thoughtful. We were so impressed by how clean and new everything was. The animals outside were such a fun added bonus. Our kids loved going outside to feed them! The owners are readily available and very accomodating. Overall, we LOVED staying here and would absolutely stay again!

One of the best VRBOs we’ve stayed in. Super clean, private yet close in, and lots of extra touches (Sleep Number bed, soaps and shampoos from local shop, fresh eggs, makeup washcloth). The mini-farm and the animals were charming, and we loved that there were treats to give them. The hot tub was great, too.

Perfect Black Mountain Getaway

A well-located property that is immaculate and very generously appointed. The owners have done a tremendous job with their cabins and really create an excellent atmosphere on their property. Our family of 4 adults (plus little dog) had a great time and would return in a heart-beat. The cabins are immaculately clean, and the owners were kind and welcoming from beginning to end. Could not recommend staying here highly enough!

Perfect Cabin Stay in a Beautiful Farm Setting

We had a fantastic stay at this charming farm in Black Mountain! The property was absolutely beautiful and such a peaceful retreat. The cabin was spotless, cozy, and stocked with everything we needed for a comfortable stay. One of the highlights was getting to interact with the animals — goats, chickens, mini ponies, and even ducks! It was such a treat to be able to feed them with the food provided right in the cabin. This was a perfect mix of relaxation and fun for all ages. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a unique and memorable getaway!

We loved our stay at Scott’s place! The cabin was beautiful and spotless, beds were comfy, and the hot tub was clean and worked great. Scott is so friendly and responsive, and our daughter had the BEST time feeding the animals. We will absolutely be back!

Spring Break Gem

Halfback Hollar is a must if you are wanting to be near the Black Mountain area. The farm animals are precious and fun to watch. The kids loved them! New hot tub that provided lots of entertainment and fresh eggs waiting on the counter upon arrival. Comfy sleep number beds were much appreciated. The owners live near by and are more than willing to introduce you to the animals and tell their rescue stories. Or you could just enjoy the solitude and know that Scott is available for any needs that may arise.

Dreamy farm stay in charming small town

We had the best stay! The cabin is so cute and well decorated. We loved the hot tub and electric fire place. Scott brought us fresh eggs and let us meet the animals. Location is awesome - just a few minutes from downtown, 10-15 minutes from hiking trails, and 15-20 minutes from Asheville, but the cabin feels secluded and quiet. Their recommendations for dining out and things to do were great.
