Welcome to Briar Rose Farm

Briar Rose Farm is much, much, more than a place to sleep!

Now check out our September Specials Below

Located 30 miles northwest of Asheville,  near Hot Springs, North Carolina, in the heart of the southern Appalachian Mountains, Briar Rose Farm is a 160 acre old mountain farm.  Recent rehabbing of the late 1800's original farm house was completed in 2003 using timber-framing techniques to make it a unique vacation rental.  The one bedroom and loft allow us to accommodate  5 guests comfortably. The cabin is ideal for a couple, a family of four, five or two couples.  7 people can be accommodated by using the futon in the living room.   Coupled with the farm experience, (Yes, our roosters really do greet the morning and our guests with crowing while the hens provide you with fresh eggs), the cool evenings, and the choice of an adventure just outside your cabin door; a trip to Briar Rose Farm is far more than a place to sleep!    Where else are you greeted with a loaf of warm bread upon you arrival?  Nightly or weekly, this cabin offers the opportunity to enjoy the numerous outdoor activities in the area or just stay "home" by the fireplace and the hot tub under the stars. Enjoy a campfire by the creek, visit with our goats, collect eggs from the chickens, listen to our roosters welcoming the morning sun as it lights up your front porch. What a perfect way to begin your days in the mountains!

We now offer a Log Cabin just for Two!.  Located above the farm, on it's own 86 acre farm, it provides a couple with a cozy, well appointed cabin complete with hot tub, lots of deck and porch space, views, and privacy.  Just click here to see this special cabin!

Available in August, we will be offering a third cabin located in an incredible location! Our Knob Log Cabin for 2-3 is situated on a knob above the farm with high mountain views, no buildings visible, no electric wires; just mountains.  With a hot tub and fireplace, full kitchen, bath, 1 bedroom, and lots of deck and covered porch space, it is perfect for a secluded and  truly enchanted get-a-way. Scroll down to the bottom of this page.

     And Yes! We would love to provide a personalized Gift Certificate of a Get-A-Way for someone special!

The farm is also the home of Briar Rose Rock, selling landscape boulders and beautiful gray granite rock suitable for retaining walls, Japanese gardens, waterfalls, and special hardscapes. The rock is sold regionally by the ton.
