The cabin by the creek at Maggie's Farm was just the right fit for our family. Everything was spotless when we arrived. It was by far the cleanest and most well stocked cabin we've ever rented through Vrbo. We always spend time hiking on this trip, and you are within easy driving distance of several state & national parks. Mark & Jacquie are delightful people and were so quick to take care of any need that we had. We will be sure to look them up again when staying in the area. This cabin helped our family to make wonderful memories.

My family had the best time at Maggie’s Farm! Mark and Jacquie were the kindest hosts and made this a trip we will never forget. Everything went smoothly - from the checkin/out process, to having a super clean cabin that had everything we needed. I work as a retreat chef and was pleasantly surprised that our cabin had everything I needed to prepare our Thanksgiving meal. While we stayed at the farm we checked out some hikes nearby (Living Waters, Courthouse Falls, Triple Falls, High Falls, and we walked the road of 140), and were amazed at the beauty in NC. While visiting DuPont State Park we checked out Brevard and enjoyed walking downtown. Mark and Jacquie also let my kids (3, 5, 7, almost 9) feed the cows across the street, and helped my kids learn to fish. My son caught his first fish and will remember it forever. We came as strangers but left feeling like we made lifelong friends. My kids are already asking when we will go back.

We loved our visit and the cabin met all of our needs. We knew if there was anything we needed we could just ask the hosts as they were extremely friendly and accommodating. Mark even facilitated a special visit with the cows for us. Easily caught trout for dinner too. Would definitely stay at the farm again.

We absolutely loved it. The family gives you everything you need and more. Peace and quiet and beautiful views. Waking up to a colorful indoor fire with cows/farm life off the front porch is enchanting. Having a local pond to fish in just adds even more value if you are unable to catch anything in the local rivers. Beautiful waterfalls and hiking is nearby.

My wife and I stayed at Maggie's Farm for 8 nights and what a wonderful place it is. The location was perfect for us- out in solitude of this beautiful part of the country but only 30 minutes from the Parkway, Brevard and the Pisqua National Forrest. A little furthur to Hendersonville and Waynesville. So about the Farm - Squeaky clean, nice comfortable sleeping and living area and fully equipped Kitchen and baths. Wifi, TV and Board games. A great wrap around deck with views of the Hills and next to the beautiflul creek flowing. The Grounds are lovely with flowers and Vegetable Gardens, a trout pond full of nice big and hungry Rainbow Trout, walking areas and places to sit and take in the good life and "get away" from the stress and pace of city life. But what puts it all together and sets this place above other Vacation Rentals are the Host - Mark and Jacquie. If you were thinking of owning a vacation rental you would want to model these Super Hosts! They respond lightning fast to questions, inquiries or the like. They greeted us with a basket of fresh Vegetables, showed us a few thing about the cabin and immediately made us feel at home while respecting our privacy. Great tips on off the beaten path trails, views, waterfalls, etc. Mark gave me some pointers on catching a trout and even brought me some cheese (yes cheese!) for bait. After I caught a nice one, plenty for dinner, he showed me an area to clean and filet the trout. I had to cook it myself :(. Next day he provided me with some equipment to pan for gemstones and I actully found a nice size garnet but came down with "gold feaver". While I looked for treasures my wife visited Jacquie's Studio where she purchased some beautiful Sterling creations hand crafted be Jacquie. So there are plenty of things I could say but I will save them for our next review as be booked the cabin for another week in October!! See you then Friends, Wayne & Andrea

We spent a wonderful, relaxing week at Maggie's Farm. The house was very clean - I usually avoid properties that allow pets because of allergies, but that was not a problem here. The view is so nice, the creek is very close to the house and a wonderful place to play for the kids. We enjoyed the firepit in the evening and walking around the property during the day. So many flowers and so many butterflies! Loved our stay so much!

Great location and great hosts. My mother was from this area so I have relatives here. I come back the first Sunday in August every year for Decoration day At Shoal Creek Baptist Church. This house worked well for us. Clean, kitchen was equipped well. Easy access. Hosts were super friendly and very helpful. We made new friends

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Maggie’s Farm! The hosts were great and very accommodating. The drive into Brevard wasn’t bad at all and the waterfalls right near the house are a must see!

This little farm was just what we were looking for. Tucked away in the mountains off the beaten path and beautiful. The hosts Jacquie and Mark are great and personable and the accommodations are very clean and comfortable. A great escape!!

Maggie’s Farm is everything you are looking for to build lifelong family memories. The hosts are incredible. They gave us tips into the best trails & shared their bounty of fresh veggies with us. Our three kids & two dogs spent hours in the creek, caught lightning bugs, ate s’mores, watched the stars & went for hikes in the area. Next time we will make sure we leave enough time to fish on the property as well. The cabin was well furnished, comfortable & the kitchen was well stocked. Our kids & dogs came in tired & happy every night. We will be back!

The owners are super nice. They were very accommodating and great communication. They have really figured out how to be great host. Pros: - cleanliness - kitchen stocked with everything you need - beds were very comfortable - plants around the house were just beautiful - vegetable gardens everywhere ( we pick zucchini and cucumbers, so good) - The creek kept the dog and kids busy for hours - trout pond was amazing, kids loved it - hiking everywhere around the area Cons - none We plan on coming back and spending more time at Maggie’s Farm in the future.

I thought my husband was accidentally pulling into the owner's driveway instead of our rental when we arrived because it was so beautiful I thought it had to be a mistake. I have never seen such attention to beauty in a guest house before, inside and out. It's worth the drive just to see the flower beds and their garden. When you add to that a mountain valley, a crystal flowing stream, genial hosts and a beautifual home its impossible not to have a wonderful time no matter the weather. We did hike some of the waterfalls nearby, and we're glad we did, but our 4 children loved the stream so much that they were content to stay at the farm where there's plenty of "scope for the imagination." I literally burst into tears our first afternoon because I was so overwhelmed by the beauty and peace of the surroundings and gratitude that Mark and Jacque were willing to share their home with our family. The house is comfortable, bright, clean, and well supplied with absolutely everything we needed for an unforgettable experience as a family, but so many extras were included to make us feel welcome and at home. The floor plan is perfect, the furniture is comfortable and the bed afforded a better night's sleep than I know at home. The notebook is WELL DONE! Every owner has their own context that will change rules and checkout procedures etc. Everything was clearly explained and easy to follow. All of Mark's instructions were great. The house is very easy to find if you follow his directions. I can get lost climbing out of a paper bag and even I was able to manage it without any difficulty. Outside we loved sitting on the deck in the shade and listening to the stream, walking around and enjoying the flowers, watching the wildlife, and splashing in the stream. Our youngest daughter caught her first fish In the pond. The rainbow trout are massive and we enjoyed it grilled within an hour of catching it. It may not seem possible to find a place this perfect but it really is! Mark and Jacque appear to be those rare souls who sincerely love what they are doing. The beauty of what they have created is an overflow of their love for each other. They were easy to engage, accommodating in every way and a PLEASURE to get to know. We can't thank them enough and ache to return!

My partner and I along with my soon to be 17 year old son and two dogs enjoyed our stay on the farm. The hosts are fantastic and friendly and the pond and stream provide entertainment. The visibility of stars at night is amazing and we hope to return soon!

Absolutely beautiful!

We had a wonderful time celebrating Thanksgiving in North Carolina at Maggie's Farm. We had the pleasure of staying in Cabin #2 for a week. It was the perfect size and very clean and comfortable. The owners Mark and Jacquie were so friendly and treated us like family. It was also very dog friendly and our dog made best friends with their dogs, who were very friendly as well. It was a great location, close to the Blue Ridge Parkway and so many beautiful sights. We highly recommend Maggie's Farm in Balsam Grove, N.C

Home was just what we needed-to step away from the hustle and bustle of life. Home had all the necessities and some wonderful thoughtful items as well. Very clean. We enjoyed the creek, the woods, the local trails. Hosts were super accommodating!!!! Will visit again.

Maggie’s farm is a perfect location for a quiet getaway to the mountains. The house is immaculately clean and the hosts were helpful in pointing out sights to visit. We will definitely return.

This has been one of our most enjoyable stays! Jacquie and Mark are the most kind and generous hosts. They showed us around the farm and treated us to fresh vegetables after we were settled in. They were available for anything we need but provided most essentials. They gave great tips about some fun spots in the area to check out. Our 5 year old daughter got to feed the fish in the pond, and then caught a fresh trout for lunch. We were able to make several great meals from fresh veggies picked from the farm, and got any extra groceries needed nearby, so we did not have to pack a lot of food. The sheep are no longer there, but we did enjoy watching the cows across the street. We will definitely stay on this property again and are so grateful to our hosts for helping us make it such a memorable stay.

Our stay at Maggie's Farm was awesome. The property is beautiful. It was me with 4 teens and our dog. The boys loved fishing in the pond and we enjoyed some yummy trout they prepared. The cabin had everything one could possibly need and was impeccably clean. Owners were very responsive and immediate as well with communication before and after our stay. We had a great time exploring the area and we were very comfortable in the cabin. We cooked most of our nights and loved sitting on the porch watching the fireflies and little bats flying around at dusk every night. It is a very peaceful and beautiful place.

We loved our stay. Cabin is very clean and great floor plan. Everything we needed was there. We went to Living Waters waterfalls which is wonderful. We enjoyed fishing on the property and at other local areas. Mark and Jackie are very welcoming and pointed us to some of the local fishing areas. Our dog had her best vacation ever. The yard is fenced on three sides, stream is the fourth side. We were able to let her off leash to explore on her own with supervision .

A great place run by delightful folks. So peaceful and quiet, but plenty to do! Mark and Jacquie were helpful every step of the way, and went over and above.

Great stay! Jackie and Mark were great! They were very helpful. Cabin was relatively close to Brevard (30 min). We didn't mind the drive as the scenery was pretty. Pretty much just used this as base since we hiked most of the weekend but a nice comfortable stay. We would definitely stay here again.

We didn't want to leave! Everything was perfect and the location couldn't be better!

We enjoyed our stay at Maggie's Farm. Mark and Jacquie were very friendly and helpful. We enjoyed relaxing on the porch, listening to the peaceful sounds of the creek, just steps from the house after hiking the many trails in the area. Jacquie even made us some fresh strawberry/rhubarb preserves. Everything we needed was supplied. Jacquie also added special touches, including a greeting card for my birthday and marshmallows for roasting by the fire out back. The Living Waters was a fun place to enjoy a short hike and several waterfalls about 5 minutes away from the farm.
