1940's Barn in Mountain Cove - Near DuPont Waterfalls & Hiking & Biking

Tucked in a "holler" amid hardwoods, rushing creeks, rhododendron, and a small stocked pond, is a converted cabin that began as a barn in the 1940's. "The Acorn" is part of our family's active homestead complete with chickens, fresh herbs, fishing (catch and release) & more.

The Acorn has been impeccably cleaned, insulated, painted, and outfitted with many modern amenities to make your stay quaint and comfortable. The den/dining/kitchen combo was the former barn, and the "sleeping lodge" - a super large room with a privacy partition - was built in the early 80's to serve as a private community library and to teach reading literacy.

Come stay Yonderways where the pace is relaxed, the mountain air fills your lungs and soul, and where the frogs and fireflies perform nightly from your private deck by a mountain stream.

Located 1/2 mile to Holmes Educational State Forest, and less than 5 miles to DuPont Forest. Centrally located between Hendersonville and Brevard, and only 15 minutes to Flat Rock, Pisgah Forest, and many other popular mountain attractions.

Hidden gem in the mountains

The cabin was cute! Loved the hot tub and fire pit! Beds were comfortable! We found everything we needed to cook! We even lucked up and got to see the blue ghost fireflies!

A fun girls weekend away!

We absolutely loved our stay at the 1940’s Barn in Mountain Cove!! For a group of 4 it was perfect. The cabin was super clean, comfortable, cute and exactly what we were looking for. The hot tub was just a minute walk down the driveway and was enjoyable. The fire pit was fun to gather around in the evenings as we listened to music and talked. The owners did not bother us once and were right there if we needed anything. It was so tranquil with the constant sound of trickling water in a small stream to relax you in the woodsy environment. The location was perfect as it was a short drive to everything we wanted to do. I can’t wait to go back and have a relaxing weekend again.
Perfect space for a girls weekend away!
Fun hot tub time!

Cute Cottage

Great location between Hendersonville & Brevard, with a short travel to Asheville. We really enjoyed our stay. Only bummer was the bed was not comfortable at all. But otherwise it’s a great stay and great location.

Wonderful Cabin Retreat

This is a very well appointed cabin with all the comforts of home including a stocked kitchen, wifi, streaming services, outdoor dining and recreation areas . The proximity to the Dupont State Park and it's three beautiful waterfalls cannot be beat! The owners were friendly and responsive communicators. We will be back.

The most magical cabin!

I honestly cannot stay enough good things about this beautiful cabin and property! The beds are insanely comfortable, and the layout was perfect for my small son and I! The owners were so kind and thought of EVERYTHING! I forgot a few small toiletry items when packing and the desk in the closet had any common item you could think to need! My 5 year old played with the dogs and kittens both days ALL day, and was genuinely devastated to leave! The cleanliness is on another level and the property was SO safe! We are already checking out calender to add several days to come back! We didn’t even use the hot tub or fishing pond because we ran out of time, but can’t wait to use both upon return! If you want a beautiful spot in the mountains that feels like a spa- do not hesitate to book!

Amazing! Book it now!

Our stay at the Acorn surpassed my expectations. The property owner made the check in clear and easy, which was wonderful after our 8 hr drive. There was a personalized message for us when we arrived, and the cabin was clean and so very cozy. The pics do not do it justice! the decor is so cute, the beds all super comfy, and a great layout for family. We settled right in and right from the start it just felt like home. Everything we needed was on hand and Donna checked in via text regularly to make sure we had everything we needed. The fresh eggs were delicious. Great location too, close to everything we wanted to see. If we could move into the Acorn we would in a second! We got to chat with Donna and Keith and they a the sweetest people ever (cute dogs and kitties too) Definitely plan on booking again.

New Years in the Holler

We were looking for a New Year's getaway in the mountains and found the Acorn. It was perfect for us Close! Close to everything, just enough space for us, had all the amantes we needed, and Debbie and Keith were awesome!! Get some of Keith's peanut brittle if you can! I would highly recommend this for a mountain get away to rest and relax and recharge.

Love at first sight

We fell in love with this cabin on first sight. Immaculate, with a fully stocked kitchen and absolutely heavenly queen bed and pillows. We loved the way the cabin was decorated. and immediately felt at home. We were able to prepare most of our meals there. We also liked having the owners and their two dogs close by. The owners were friendly but also respected our privacy. Very convenient to hiking and the DuPont waterfalls. We were sad to leave and hope to be able to return next year.

Hidden gem

We absolutely LOVED our stay! The cabin and set up was even better than the pictures. Everything is well stocked. They left fresh chicken eggs for breakfast and wrote a personalized welcome message for us. Plenty of toiletries, towels, and more. Our family of 5 fit comfortably. Owners were extremely welcoming and friendly. Our kids loved watching and playing with their dogs, cats, chickens, fish. There is a cute outdoor fire pit with hanging lights. It is also close to restaurants, orchards, and downtown. We can’t wait to come back for another visit!

Lovely little cabin

We enjoyed our stay in this lovely little cabin. It had a rustic appeal to it. It was well-stocked, well-organized and clean. It had everything we needed. It was close to the places we visited like Sliding Rock, Looking Glass Falls, Caesar Head, Triple Falls and Asheville. The owners were very nice and responsive to our questions. Loved the fresh eggs and s’mores kit (which we weren’t able to use due to the rain). We highly recommend this place and we’d love to come back in the future!

Short but so sweet adventure

My family and I visited the Acorn for a quick overnighter and our hosts were very accommodating. They answered any and all questions we had. Once arriving at the property one of the hosts showed us around and we were in awe of how cute it was. The hosts provided fresh eggs from their hens and made warm brownies- which made the welcome even better. We couldn’t have asked for a better location or better hosts. Our family spent time catching up away from most of life’s distractions. We were sad to leave the next day but hope to find our way back again.
