About this cabin rental

Mountains & Meadows at Turkey Pen is the perfect destination to enjoy with your family and friends, especially if you are looking for a private retreat. This family homestead of 250 acres is a pristine property, surrounded by the Pisgah National Forest. The creeks, ponds, barns, & undisturbed private mountains offer a peaceful, private backdrop. Guests are welcome to bring their personal horses for horseback riding (separate fee, must book). The property borders miles of national forest trails.

Our cabin sits on a hilltop overlooking pastures with horses, waterwheel, fishing pond, and stream. While sitting in a rocking chair, or swinging on the porch swing, you will enjoy the panoramic mountain views. The quietness offers a relaxing and tranquil vacation.

Our secluded 250 acres of heavily wooded forest borders the Pisgah National Forest. 'Turkey Pen' trail-head is where Native Americans once gathered wild turkeys. We still unearth arrowheads today and wild turkey sightings are a regular occurrence.

As a participant in North Carolina's Stewardship Program, we are committed to preserving wildlife and enhancing the land. During your stay you will see many species of birds, wild turkey, deer, and other wildlife.

We offer private hiking trails that adjoin the National Forest. There are also Blue Ribbon trout streams that are accessible from these trails. They are a long hike to get to & are much easier to access by car. Bring your own horse if you want to. We offer a separate pasture with a stream to accommodate your horse. However, we do not provide shelter or stalls. Horse pasture available for a separate fee & by reservation.

While we do offer a private retreat, we are conveniently located to Brevard, Asheville, and Hendersonville, NC, that are just minutes away.

The owners live on the property along with a caretaker. They maintain the property and care for the animals. Interaction with them is limited but they are happy to answer any questions that's guests may have.

We are excited to announce we now have hvac on the 1st floor, heat & a/c. The heat does rise & leaving the upstairs doors open will help heat the bedrooms upstairs. There are window AC units in the rooms upstairs and space heaters. Fire wood for the fireplace & fire pit can be provided at an additional charge with notice.

We only accept 1 night bookings last minute, 7-10 nights out depending on the season.

We are unable to accommodate any type of snow plow to the roads or driveway. This means that if there is an inclement storm in our area that could effect your reservation, it could be altered or refunded. Safety is the top priority during winter reservation months.
The ponds are available for catch & release fishing, not swimming.

I loved this place!!! I took my 3 grandchildren with me and we had the best time. The host was very helpful and responded very quickly to any questions that I had. The cabin was clean and had plenty of space for us plus some more. It was furnished with all the amenities that we needed. The grandkids enjoyed playing outside. I loved sitting on the front porch watching the horses. The grandkids literally did not want to leave to go anywhere. I definitely will be back and recommend this amazing place.

We loved the cabin, it was so cozy and the view was amazing.
6 / 10Average·Apr 2025
The cabin overall was nice but the listing stated that the upstairs had window units but I did not see any and it was hot upstairs. Also, the stink bugs were too much for me. I slept on the couch as they were bad upstairs. I understand that this is a cabin out in the woods but I was not prepared. The place was beautiful and peaceful and had everything that we needed for the night.
