Everything was perfect! We can't wait to return.
We loved our stay. The venue was convenient for meeting family and friends that live in the area. We visited Pretty Place Chapel, Caesar's Head and Greenville with all these sites being easy and beautiful drives. We hiked on nearby trails and all the neighbors and hikers were friendly and welcoming. The horses, donkey and llamas added to the relaxing, fun experience. Our host was beyond welcoming and patient when we messed up and could not remember the code she had sent us well ahead of time. All-in-all a wonderful experience!!!

Peaceful Farm Stay
The setting was picturesque and ever so peaceful. It was a luxury to hike the nearby forests during the day then relax to the sights and sounds of farm and nature in the evening. I appreciated the full kitchen, bathtub and thoughtful amenities in all the rooms. The bed was comfortable and each room had a great view. I would definitely stay again!

The property was easy to find and looked as it was listed. We loved how clean and cozy the barn felt. Bell, Pancho, and Guapo were great additions to the overall stay and our dog loved saying “hello” to them on his walks. Overall, I would highly recommend this place to everyone I know!

The BEST VRBO
I genuinely cannot say enough amazing things about this property. From communication, to cleanliness, to attentiveness to details- BlackJack Farms does it ALL! The location is quiet and BEAUTIFUL! The Fall Farm of my DREAMS! We pulled up and my children were IMMEDIATELY in love with the donkey and llamas! The Boxers on property are basically the most loving dogs ever and my children were obsessed! The kitchen is so well stocked, the yard is beautiful, the beds are crazy comfortable, and the trails on premises are WONDERFUL! We are already pulling out our calendar to book again and again because this location is a GEM!!!!

Easily the most amazing place I’ve stayed.
Between the ease of check in, the perfect location near Hendersonville and Dupont, the beautiful and private trails, or just the overall peace of the place, it’s hard to pick just one thing to appreciate. The Stable was essentially my dream home with gracious hosts and very fast responses! 10/10

Peaceful getaway
We absolutely adored staying at Blackjack farm! We really enjoyed walking the trails on property and our one year old enjoyed all the open space to roam freely and explore. The hosts and farm animals were very friendly! Sitting outside and hearing silence was refreshing in the evenings (especially since we currently live in a loud city!). We even enjoyed the fire pit (although the rain did cut our fire short). Would 100% recommend and will hopefully return in the near future!

There are so many things to like about this place. * Super comfortable bed & duvet * Loved the hairdo on the alpacas and the funny occasional braying of the donkey. * The hosts were great and responsive, especially fixing the wi-if connections. * We especially liked the wooded pathways and wished we could have spent more time in the wooden swinging benches along the pathways. * Liked the fast hot water temperature in the shower. * I had a closeup view of two beautiful birds, (I could not identify), that performed a whole dancing routine in the bush outside the bedroom window. * Directions were easy to follow and had no problem getting the front door key out of the lockbox. * I had wanted someplace outside of the city and this vrbo rental more than fully satisfied the outdoor-sy atmosphere.

Beautiful property
We loved staying here! It is a charming quiet place to stay with fun trails to walk. Having the donkey, goat, and Llamas was a treat! The only sad part is we didn't see the horse that was in the listing but donkey Bell made us laugh. Our dog instantly fell in love with her, but sadly she didn't return his affection. The only semi-negative thing to note is that the bed isn't very comfortable. If you like a firm bed, you will be all set!

Fantastic location, awesome hosts, beautiful views!
We cannot say enough good things about our visit to Hendersonville and this beautiful family farm. The hosts are so warm and welcoming, offering to bring us firewood and hammocks so that we could enjoy our private fire pit and take in some of the most amazing views of the evening sky that you can imagine including the Milky Way! The property is lovely, animals are an amazing treat and the walking paths on their property are the perfect morning or post-dinner treat. Just ten mins outside of Hendersonville the perfect private location with everything you need in the cozy home - very well appointed the concrete floors are gorgeous! Will definitely be back for more peace & quiet in the country x
