The Gertie Cabin w/Hot Tub at Halfback Hollar Farm

The Gertie is a 2 bedroom, 2 bathroom cabin with a pull-out sectional couch and a small fenced in area off the back door for your fur babies. We also have another cabin on the property if you are looking for 2 cabins at the same location or if this one is booked check out the Gordie cabin! Third cabin coming soon! 4 dr Jeep Wrangler with electric top and transport options available, message for details.

Come relax at this peaceful farm-stay surrounded by animals and nature. Our neighbors are the Highland Farm Givens retirement community so if you are visiting family you are a short walk away. At your fully furnished cabin you will enjoy feeling a sense of solitude, while also being within a mile of downtown Black Mountain. The cabin is equipped with 2 King Sleep Number mattresses, a 220v luxury hot tub for 5 people, propane firepit and more. Fresh eggs from our chickens are waiting on your corner with animal snacks, and on-site owners assure you will need for nothing. RV/trailer parking available. Small wedding ceremonies can be accommodated for an additional fee with the renting of both cabins.

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.

This cabin was such a great getaway. Was super clean, the little details were excellent. Provided carrots so my little girl could feed the animals & made her so happy. Communication was great. Was about 20 mins to everything in Asheville we could have wanted to go to. Hot tub was a nice extra to enjoy on cool nights. Would definitely recommend a stay here & come back again!

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!

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!

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.

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!

The Gertie cabin was awesome! The host, Scott, reached out to us on arrival day to let us know the cabin was ready early. When we arrived, we were welcomed by the ponies and goats. The cabin was spacious and spotless! The hot tub was ready for us to use right away! Scott had also left treats for the animals on the counter and in the fridge. He also provided us with fresh eggs. Everything was perfect!

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!

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.

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!

We picked this cabin primarily for the lush greenery, the animals to interact with and feed, and location close to downtown Black Mountain, major roads, and the freeway. We were absolutely blown away once we got inside! Very open, fresh, and clean. The beds were super comfortable once we figured out how to use the Sleep Number beds . The hot tub was fantastic, feeding the animals and watching the mini ponies get the zoomies every day was deeeelightful! 13/10 would absolutely stay here again and would love to bring friends next time! Also, thank you kindly to Scott in particular for being so responsive to my texts, it was lovely to meet you as well!

Beautiful home and property. New, very clean, and well thought out. Everything I needed and more was provided. Well stocked kitchen, delicious fresh eggs and food provided to feed the animals. Games, books, TVs, adjustable beds, and more. I enjoyed sitting on the front porch with my coffee each morning. So nice to find a place where they think of all the details and appreciate excellence. Easy to communicate with the host if I needed to. Hope to visit again.
