Perfect Getaway
This place was the perfect spot to get time on some trails in Dupont and Pisgah. It was located close to Brevard & Hendersonville. Watching the horses in the morning was a treat. We will be back :)

We had a great stay! The accommodations were perfect, comfortable, quiet, clean and close to everything we wanted to do in DuPont Forest. We boarded our horses at their stables and they were comfortable and safe too! We will come back and highly recommend. Olivia and Ryan are so kind and we appreciate their hospitality

Loved the old farm house feel - reminded us of Grandparents’ houses! We enjoyed watching the horses across the street. And it was so close to DuPont Forest! We had a few rain showers come through which were relaxing to watch from the covered porch.

Time travel with conveniences!
Shoal Creek Cottage is like stepping back in time, but with modern conveniences. The cottage is comfortable, light and airy and beautifully decorated. We loved watching the horses from the front porch. Very convenient to DuPont and Holmes State Park and a scenic drive to town. Thank you for a lovely stay.

Perfect Place to Unwind
We absolutely loved the house and it's furnishings. It was very comfortable and had the best views from every window. The grounds were exceptional and who doesn't love being surrounded by horses. You can hear the river off in the distance and really wish we had time to explore.Ryan and Olivia were wonderful and accommodating hosts. Would like to have met them in person but we were too crunched for time.Thank you Ryan and Olivia.. I hope to see you on my next trip to NC.

Peaceful retreat
This our second time staying in this comfortable cabin. It’s just over a mile to the Guion Parking lot of DuPont State Forest, so it’s ideal if you’re planning a visit. Cabin was very clean and the kitchen was well equipped for all our meals. If you want to bring your horses, contact the host and make arrangements for stall or pasture rental as well. Olivia was very responsive, informative, and available if we had any questions. We also love all the little dogs that came to visit! We will definitely return.

Everything You Need, Nothing You Do Not
My daughter and I race downhill mountain bikes, and wherever we race we like to be as far from the event as possible. This location was perfect, far enough away to not be bothered by the chaos yet close enough to make the drive enjoyable. The drive to Hendersonville is only about 20 minutes. The best thing about this location, other than the lack of traffic and the location, is the working farm. The children enjoyed sitting on the porch and watching the horses and playing with the farm dogs. The owners are awesome as well. We are definitely going to stay here again next year.

Christmas Getaway
Our little family came to Hendersonville as a convenient spot from which to see family and friends in Gastonia, Shelby, Hendersonville, and Asheville during the holidays. My kiddos loved walking across the street to see the horses, and we had a delightful afternoon in downtown Hendersonville. It was rainy during our stay, so we didn’t take advantage of the cute fire pit and the proximity to beautiful hiking trails and waterfalls that my family rave about. We hope to return in the summer or fall to do so! I adored cooking on the cute yet spacious stove and cleaning up dishes in front of the large kitchen window.
