About this property

Farm life, redefined

Nestled into the foothills of the Great Appalachian Mountains lies a magical place - Ivy Fields Farm. Our working farm is not just a stay, but an experience. Immerse yourselves in all the simple pleasures of farm living; pick your own vegetables & flowers, & enjoy farm-fresh eggs every day, harvest wild raspberries, take a walk down an unpaved road, witness the beauty & majesty of our farm animals. Just a short distance from all the Asheville attractions, Ivy Fields Farm feels like a world away!

Welcome to the Cottage at Ivy Fields Farm, where farm life is redefined.
The House:
Once the home of the farmers who raised their families, tobacco and cattle on the land, this charming cottage has been fully renovated, offering all the modern amenities and sweet details to make your stay comfortable and unforgettable. With two stylish bedrooms featuring ensuite baths, a full hall bath as well as a bunkroom for the kids, the Cottage at Ivy Fields Farm is the perfect getaway for families, couples, and friends seeking a tranquil escape and unforgettable vacation destination.

A separate outdoor firepit, complete with tiki lights and comfy lounge seating promotes stargazing and smore making.

The Area:
Located just a short drive from Asheville, this farm stay offers the best of both worlds – access to amazing city attractions and the tranquility of the countryside. Spend your days exploring Asheville’s local shops, visiting the iconic Biltmore Estate, or enjoying one of the area’s renowned breweries or James Beard award-winning restaurants. Take a hike through the stunning Appalachian Mountains, chase some waterfalls, zipline the mountain canopies, or shop the host of cheerful, regional farmers markets. Then, return to your peaceful sanctuary at Ivy Fields Farm, where you can unwind and unplug in the comfort of your own private retreat.

The Farm:
What really sets Ivy Fields Farm apart is the farm experience it offers. Situated on 31 acres of private land at the end of a short, well maintained gravel road, the farm is a delightful respite from the stressors of the real world. Enjoy the simple pleasure of harvesting your own bounty of fresh, farm-raised produce, startle the toads into hopping into our 2, 1/4 acre ponds and walk the shady meadows of of green grass and wildflowers. In the evening, listen to the orchestra of frogs as they serenade you from the valley below and watch as the lighting bugs give a private dancing light show just for you! Each moment at Ivy Fields Farm is infused with magic and warmth.

Our host of fuzzy and feathered friends is likely the most enchanting aspect of a Ivy Fields Farm stay. Our herd of fuzzy and comical Kune Kune heritage pigs will greet you with a snuffle, and our family of sweet fainting goats will captivate you with their sweet and playful nature. Our flock of zany ducks, chickens, and roosters, who will keep you entertained with their clucking and crowing, and our farm pup, Roux, will be your partner in a classic game of fetch, hide and seek, or a good ole snuggle and nap on the porch.

The Experience:
With its farm charm, modern amenities, and proximity to Asheville, The Cottage at Ivy Fields Farm is not just a stay, it's the perfect place to relax, recharge, and reconnect with nature, yourself, and each other. Come and experience farm life, redefined.

Best mini vacation
This trip could not have been any better! The house was clean with the perfect layout for our group. Everyone enjoyed the farm tour and smores party, seeing and meeting all the animals, watching the piglets, holding baby chicks etc. There is so much room outside to explore and play. It’s so peaceful, none of us really wanted to go home. Kids are already planning our next visit.

Relaxing and rejuvenating family time!
I don’t know where to start. This was one of our best family vacations to date. We absolutely LOVED our time at Ivy Fields Farm. Farmers Dina and Blaise were so thoughtful, kind, and welcoming from the beginning of our stay and beyond. They provided wonderful information about their farm, including a tour. The animals were delightful. We learned so much about fainting goats, Kune Kune, pigs, chickens, guinea, fowl, and more. We enjoyed regularly checking in on 1 week old piglets and their mama. The property is beautiful and spacious. The views of the mountains in the distance are serene. The house was thoughtfully decorated and very clean. Plenty of room for our family to feel very comfortable. Coming from suburban city life, this was a wonderful and much needed way for our family to relax and reconnect. We thoroughly enjoyed the beauty of the Asheville area and miss it already. My only regret is not booking for several more days than we did… There is so much to do in the Asheville area. We were a bit torn between trying to see and do things in the area, and just enjoy and relax during our time on the farm. We will be back for sure, and will stay for longer so we can have dedicated days just to enjoy the peace of the farm and days to explore Asheville and beyond! Thank you so much for having us!!

Family farm getaway weekend
What a beautiful property with very accommodating hosts (including one very sweet pup)! The home was exceptionally clean and comfortable and well stocked with everything we needed. The kids thoroughly enjoyed the farm tour and learning all about the animals on the property. Roasting smores and listening to the frogs by the pond took us all back to childhood summers of our own. We would love to go back sometime and visit again!

Wonderful experience!
We arrived after dark and were greeted by a sky full of stars and the serenade of frogs and crickets. The cottage was perfect. It had everything we needed, was very clean and updated. In the morning we were greeted by Farmer Blaise and the farm dogs. We got a tour of the farm and met the animals (chickens, pigs, guineafowls, ducks and goats). The baby goats were our favorite! Farmer Blaise was super friendly and we loved helping him feed the animals. The location of the cottage was convenient to so many activities. We spent the days exploring (ziplining, gem mining, shopping and dining) and the evenings at the farm helping with the animals, relaxing and even had a bonfire one night. I highly recommend this experience! Bring a pair of boots or shoes and old clothing you can wear on the farm - you will get dirty if you were as hands on as we were! I am so glad we stayed here!

Unique experience and fantastic host
Unique farm stay and experience. We went with a family of 8 including toddlers and young adults and we all enjoyed our stay. The house is very comfortable and has everything one could need for their stay. The house overlooks most of the farm and has great views of the mountains. The house is beautifully decorated and spacious. For a party of 8, we were very comfortable. Farmer Blaize was fantastic. My kids enjoyed seeing him every morning and afternoon when he would feed the animals. He invited my kids to help feed and they enjoyed the activity. Farmer Blaize was so patient with my kids and taught them a lot about the farm. The sourdough bread and eggs were a treat. I’ve never had a host be so gracious and hospitable. He texted us ideas to do on rainy day when we were rained in. He wanted us to have a good time. Location is great. Easy drive up the mountain. I’m from south Florida so driving mountains is not my thing and getting to the farm was easy in a 2 wheel drive. Just 12 minutes away from Publix grocery and only 17 minutes away from downtown Asheville. We loved the farm experience and would stay here again. Lots to do and see in the area. Only 30 minutes from one of the entrances to Blue Ridge Parkway. Weaverville downtown only 12 minutes away.

Not just a stay… it’s an experience
The stay itself was fantastic - the accommodations were super clean, newly renovated and furnished, comfortable furniture and bed, and very well decorated. I would compare it to a 4 star hotel in a long term stay format. The location is about 20 min easy/non-congested drive north of Asheville, close enough to do things in town. Our goal was also to do day hikes at various western Carolina landmarks like Mt Mitchell, Graveyard Falls, etc… and the location is perfect for it. Drive an hr or so to hit these areas while enjoying the scenic view of Blue Ridge Parkway, then enjoy dinner/evening in Asheville, and return to a quiet idyllic place for the night. Little did we know that our children ended up enjoying the farm way more than expected as the hosts will take us around the animals and garden, patiently explaining how the farm works, and allow them to help. The hosts, Blaise and Dina, are as hospitable as they come, and go out of their way to make sure you are comfortable and enjoy your stay. Interact as much or as little with the farm during your stay. The farm is kept well and there is no noticeable animal smells. Overall a wonderful experience, within a week of returning home, the children are already asking to go back again!
