Flatlanders BEWARE:-) - Be prepared for an ADVENTURE - our farm is in the MOUNTAINS and to get here you need to be prepared to go around many curves and up and down many hills on narrow two lane roads. Once you're here, I think that you'll find the setting quite beautiful and the trip worth while so don't give up.
The closest hotels/motels/inns/B&Bs/cabins are in Bat Cave/Chimney Rock - About a 15-20 min. drive.
But, if you're coming from the East on I-40, you might choose to stay in Black Mountain (about 25 min. drive).
Alternatively, there are many motels/hotels in Asheville from basic to luxury.
Lastly, there are several hotels clustered near the airport (about a 45 min. drive).
