GINGERBREAD: Single-story Farmhouse, 3 bedroom (K, Q, 2-Twins), 2 bathrooms. Immaculately-kept and located on 9 private acres in Sugar Grove just off Hwy 321 and only 15 mins to Boone. Because this cabin rental is not located on the main farm, Gingerbread tends to be our best "bang for the buck" and with only a short 5-min drive to the farm (2.3 miles), come and go as you please! Your own privacy and private acreage, but still with full access to our popular farm! Families with little ones LOVE being able to leave the farm to "slow their kids down" and separate "farm life from sleepy time."

The house was whimsical and had great views. We even met a couple of cows each day
10 / 10Outstanding·Jun 2024
This place was absolutely amazing. We had 4 cows at the Gingerbread house that we could watch graze while we set in the hot tub. There was a lovely fire pit and wood for sale on the property. The house was so clean. We went to the farm 3 days and stayed for hours at a time. We rode the waterslide, played pickleball, spent a lot of time in the petting zoo, hiked, and relaxed in the many swings and benches throughout the property. Our girls rode inner tubes down the creek and I did the zip line which was so much fun. We really enjoyed ourselves and would definitely recommend it and go back. Connie, the host, was so nice. There are s’mores kits, fresh eggs, charcoal, and other miscellaneous items for sale in the shed when you come into the farm. We had a blast!
10 / 10Outstanding·May 2024
We visited the farm and had a blast on the multi-acre farm with lovely critters. The Gingerbread House was great and we loved our cows on the hill and 3 or so chipmunks in the front yard. Great views from every angle. ....We had a ton of fun here. This country boy felt right at home. The fire pit and hot tub were an added bonus.
