Welcome to Briar Rose Farm!

We offer a choice of three cabins and a farm experience with trails for hiking, friendly farm animals,
creek, hot tubs, and fire pits for those wanting to explore our 260 acres.  We also offer seclusion and
privacy for those wanting a peaceful and quiet escape.

Located 30 miles northwest of Asheville, North Carolina, near the
Appalachian Trail town of Hot Springs, in the heart of the southern
Appalachian Mountains,
Briar Rose Farm is an old mountain farm
on 260 acres of rolling hills, steep slopes, and green pastures
divided by a creek that comes tumbling down the mountain.

A true farm experience is what we offer to our guests.
You will enjoy our cool evenings, sunny days, blue skies, and the
choice of adventures just outside your cabin door..  Or just soak up
the peaceful quiet of this rural setting. Be as active or as lazy
as you wish. A trip to
Briar Rose Farm  provides far more than just a place to sleep!

March and April are wonderful months in the mountains!  Warm sunny days arrive after cold brilliant
winter days and are so appreciated!  After the long snowy winter we have experienced, these days just
beg you to take a hike... or curl up with a good book and a blanket on the porch swing in a puddle of
sunshine.
Our goats are expected to kid at the end of March and there is nothing better than
baby goats springing and bouncing to signal that spring is truly on its way.
 The warming days
are followed by cool dark nights lit only with the amazing number of stars you can observe from your hot
tub or deck of your cabin.  Then it is into the cabin to enjoy the fireplace and the cozy ambiance that
only getting away from home can provide.
                   
Nightly or weekly, our cabins offer the opportunity to enjoy the numerous outdoor activities in the area
or just stay "home" by the fireplace or in the hot tub under the stars. It is a great place for families with
kids, couples, and honeymooners. Enjoy a campfire by the creek,  hike right from your cabin door, visit
with our cows, goats, collect eggs from the chickens and 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!
