Discover the Horseshoe Farm Homes
Each of the homes, The Barn House, The Carolina, Cowboy Cottage, Apple Cottage, and Grannie's Cottage, offer fully equipped kitchens, comfortable living areas, and private bedrooms, plus they are all pet-friendly.
The Barn House is a particularly unique place to stay: it's the upper level of the equestrian barn! This spacious, five-bedroom home features a stone fireplace and kitchenette in the Master Suite. Each morning, watch from the upper deck with coffee in hand as the beautiful horses are turned out to pasture to graze. The mountain views are incredible from this vantage!
The Carolina is a brick home that features five bedrooms, a wood-burning stove, and plenty of indoor and outdoor entertaining areas. Families will love staying at Apple Cottage with its living room fireplace and eat-in country kitchen. For guests traveling with dogs, Cowboy Cottage is ideal thanks to a large fenced yard and screened-in porch. The cowboy theme is a delight for kids, too! An authentic mountain farm experience can be found at Grannie's Cottage, where you'll love the special touches like handmade quilts on the beds and a brick hearth in the cozy den.
No matter which home you choose at Horseshoe Farm, you'll have access to the farm's public areas, including a gazebo by the pond, a covered bridge, a firepit, and, of course, a fence-rail view of the horses! If you're hosting an event at Horseshoe Farm, you'll love the restaurant-style dining room, dance floor, and arcade/game room that are also available for rent (click here to learn more!).
