Quiet, cozy retreat
I stayed two nights in this comfortable little cottage. It’s a one-room structure with a cute kitchenette, tiny bar with barstools, and a comfortable queen bed. There’s a beautifully decorated bathroom with a bathtub/shower, tiny sink, and small toilet (a taller person than me might find it cramped). It would only be better if there were also a comfy reading chair or a loveseat, but then the room wouldn’t feel so spacious and open. Great view of the cows from the room/porch. Overall it’s very quiet except for occasional farm noise. Mandy was responsive if I needed something, but I had as much privacy as I wanted. I was greeted on arrival by a sweet cat and small dog, who were lovely porch companions. If you are seeking a solitary retreat, this cottage is a great choice, but be sure to check the Henry River Farm page on Facebook to see what public events may be happening during your stay.

Pleasant stay
We ended up spending much more time in the cottage than intended - for weather and health reasons. Not very comfortable for long term inside - there is limited seating. But the pictures show that accurately, and the outside area was very nice, with ceiling fans over very comfortable wooden rockers. Nice access to state parks, Morganton has a nice downtown with eateries, and Valdese has interesting museum and really good place for beef - Highlands Butchery. This place works really well for a few days to tour the area.

Relaxing, quiet, and comfy stay
My wife and I had a wonderful stay at the cottage on the farm. The cottage was immaculately clean and is very cute and comfortable. The host had lovely music on for us as we entered the cottage and the space was very well appointed. It is a cozy cottage, really perfect for two people. Not really space for anyone else, but it was perfect for the two of us. We had so many things that we loved about the place. First of all the outdoor space attached to the cottage was dreamy. Very large covered porch overlooking one of several pastures. The covered porch had two large Adirondack chairs as well as a small loveseat to sit and watch the cows, the donkey, and one of the pigs. The porch had two ceiling fans as well, which was nice because it was in the upper 80s/low 90s when we were there. But between the breeze coming through and the ceiling fans it was quite nice, even in the middle of the day. The porch area also has a nice picnic table for outdoor meals. The view from the cottage is lovely and overlooks a pasture and beyond that a forest. There property is on a beautiful and secluded river and the walk from the cottage to the river is about a quarter mile. The hosts have folding camp chairs available to take down to the river and we spent almost a whole day there one dat just sitting next to the river and fishing. One of the best parts of the experience was the adorable dog and cat that visited us multiple times per day and kept us company when we spent time on the porch.

Delightful Stay
This property was all we had imagined! Sooo cute! The breakfast was delicious and oh so filling! We didn't need to eat until supper! Every morning and evening the animals came to the pasture right outside the porch. Even the owner's dog and cat made sure to come say hi! We enjoyed the grill, walked down to the river and enjoyed the 10 degree difference from the house, the sound of the river was so soothing! One night we used the firepit to make some amazing baked potatoes-yum! It was so close to Morganton and Valdese and we made day trips to visit the sights there then home for the evening to relax and unwind. It was perfect and the owner, Mandy, and her children were precious! We will definitely be back and have already recommended this to others. Thank you, Mandy, for making our 41st anniversary weekend memorable and restful!

Really neat place if you want to get away from city life and enjoy peace and quiet. Owners are very friendly and responsive. I wasn’t there long enough to try the breakfast “which upsets me because I’m sure it would have been delicious”. Plenty of wildlife and stock animals that I’m sure kids would love it. Almost stole their cat though. We became buddies and everytime I would go outside, here came my little buddy to keep me company. I would highly recommend a stay here.

Perfection!
My husband and I absolutely LOVED our stay at the farm!!! It was as described but so much better in person! We fed the cows apples, took a cold plunge in the Henry River, watched the sunset, had coffee with the cows, enjoyed the fire pit, and loved on Maddie (dog) and Alley (cat). We also enjoyed hiking Hawksbill and South Mountain State Park. Unfortunately, a few places in downtown Morganton were closed on Mondays and Tuesdays but that just gave us more time to enjoy the farm. We would absolutely recommend staying at the Cottage!!

Beyond my expectations!
This was an ideal stay as it was only 3 hours from Raleigh NC! The elevation provided a 10 degree cooler temperature. I beat the July heat here with mornings in the mid 60s F! The host was friendly and gave a tour of the farm. It was fantastic to sip of morning coffee in July and watch highland cows graze, chickens roam and a pig play! Moreover, my son and I explored the Henry River which is adjacent to the property. From the property we explored, linville gorge, south mountain park, and Blowing Rock. We loved staying here because it was clean, quite, and superb farm experience. Lastly, if was a shorter drive back to the RDU region.

Breath of fresh air!
We felt completely comfortable and cozy during our stay at the Henry River cottage. With limited celluar service it was so nice to be able to put down the electronics and enjoy the animals and scenery! We sat outside in the rocking chairs and watched the cows graze and the chickens and sweet dog came to say hi often! We wandered the short trail down to the river and waded in the water (it was pretty low). It wasn't far to go into downtown Morganton for a nice dinner on the river (we went to Town Tavern, it was great!). Enjoyed a little shopping as well. It's about a 15 minute drive to South Mountain State Park, there are various hiking trails and waterfalls! Thank you for the hospitality and we will definitely be back!

Perfect Getaway
Really cool super clean quiet place in the country. Perfect for a weekend getaway. Plan on getting away from the hustle and bustle and enjoy the quiet farm and very friendly animals. Well appointed small cottage with comfy bed and studio kitchen. Very private but yet just next-door to the owners. Lots of little touches like snack basket and bath accessories.

This is pure rest and relaxation. Just my wife and I for 1 night, but as soon as we sat down in the rocking chairs, we knew we should have done another night. Solid breakfast and they already have everything you need. We brought a speaker, but actually turned it off to just enjoyed the silence and each others company. We will absolutely be going back.

Henry Farm Stay
We had a wonderful time there. The hosts have a little store where they sell strawberries (delicious I must say) and other items. They are very nice and all of the animals are friendly. Especially the cat and dog. The cat led us down towards the river like a tour guide. I would stay here again for sure.

Peace and Quiet on the Farm
This was truly an enjoyable stay for us! The cottage was cute and well appointed; everything was very clean and orderly. Sitting on the back porch was such a peaceful experience - the back porch overlooks one of the pastures and as you watch the cows graze, the chickens come right up to you and roam. It is just a joyful experience to sit in the quiet and enjoy nature! We did opt for the farm fresh breakfast - it was delicious! I will mention that we read a review that mentioned the stove was slow to heat - we did not experience that at all - we had sausage cooking in no time! We highly recommend staying at Henry River Farms! The hosts were so very nice and enjoyable to meet. They have really worked hard to make their farm an enjoyable and inviting place - you will not regret your decision to book with them!

The cabin has all the amenities one or two people would need. There are great resources for restaurant and activities. The walk to the river is so peaceful. You may be greeted by a very sweet doggo and cat. The chickens are sweet and croon to you as they walk past you sitting outdoors. A truly delightful stay.
