1920's Farmhouse near Dupont State Recreational Forest

Shoal Creek Cottage is a circa 1920 farmhouse newly remodeled with modern amenities and vintage flair. Bikers, hikers, and horseback riders will certainly enjoy the easy access to Dupont Forest as one access trail is located within short walk or bike ride from the cottage. The cottage is nestled in a small valley on a 30-acre working horse farm along Shoal Creek. For rest and relaxation, the cottage has 2 bedrooms, one with a queen size bed and the other with two twin size beds. We also have other cozy features such as porch swing, a wood burning fireplace, clawfoot tub, and an outdoor firepit. If you own your own horse and would like to bring your horse with you to enjoy our farm and trails in DuPont state forest you can stall board or pasture board your horse at Shoal Creek Farm next to the cottage.

Time travel with conveniences!

Shoal Creek Cottage is like stepping back in time, but with modern conveniences. The cottage is comfortable, light and airy and beautifully decorated. We loved watching the horses from the front porch. Very convenient to DuPont and Holmes State Park and a scenic drive to town. Thank you for a lovely stay.

Perfect Place to Unwind

We absolutely loved the house and it's furnishings. It was very comfortable and had the best views from every window. The grounds were exceptional and who doesn't love being surrounded by horses. You can hear the river off in the distance and really wish we had time to explore.Ryan and Olivia were wonderful and accommodating hosts. Would like to have met them in person but we were too crunched for time.Thank you Ryan and Olivia.. I hope to see you on my next trip to NC.

Peaceful retreat

This our second time staying in this comfortable cabin. It’s just over a mile to the Guion Parking lot of DuPont State Forest, so it’s ideal if you’re planning a visit. Cabin was very clean and the kitchen was well equipped for all our meals. If you want to bring your horses, contact the host and make arrangements for stall or pasture rental as well. Olivia was very responsive, informative, and available if we had any questions. We also love all the little dogs that came to visit! We will definitely return.

Everything You Need, Nothing You Do Not

My daughter and I race downhill mountain bikes, and wherever we race we like to be as far from the event as possible. This location was perfect, far enough away to not be bothered by the chaos yet close enough to make the drive enjoyable. The drive to Hendersonville is only about 20 minutes. The best thing about this location, other than the lack of traffic and the location, is the working farm. The children enjoyed sitting on the porch and watching the horses and playing with the farm dogs. The owners are awesome as well. We are definitely going to stay here again next year.

Christmas Getaway

Our little family came to Hendersonville as a convenient spot from which to see family and friends in Gastonia, Shelby, Hendersonville, and Asheville during the holidays. My kiddos loved walking across the street to see the horses, and we had a delightful afternoon in downtown Hendersonville. It was rainy during our stay, so we didn’t take advantage of the cute fire pit and the proximity to beautiful hiking trails and waterfalls that my family rave about. We hope to return in the summer or fall to do so! I adored cooking on the cute yet spacious stove and cleaning up dishes in front of the large kitchen window.

Paradise in the mountains

Everyone in Hendersonville was extremely nice and pleasant, great food, great trails and beautiful waterfalls. The only thing I would have minimal complaint about is the low hot water pressure in the rental.

Charming Cottage

The 1920’s farmhouse cottage is charming and a privilege to experience. The farm is beautiful, and every window in the cottage has an exceptional view. We arranged for our granddaughter to have a riding lesson during our visit, and we all appreciated viewing the horses in the the pasture across the street from the porch. Anyone who appreciates vintage charm in a farm setting would enjoy this location.

Little Slice of Heaven

We wanted a beautiful stay in the country and that’s exactly what we got! Tranquility, beauty and relaxation, all while being close to the things we came to do: hiking, swimming in waterfalls, horseback riding. I highly recommend this beautifully updated 1920’s farmhouse nestled in the middle of a working horse farm. Where you can sit on the porch and eat your supper and listen to the horses neigh, have amazing sunset views, and watch the fire flies dance when the sun goes down. It was a little slice of heaven.

Dupont Horse Getaway!

We always enjoy the stay at Shoal Creek. The cottage is over a 100 years old which provides character with all the amenities. We appreciate the use of a couple pastures for our trusty steeds while there. The location is perfect for riding out to the Dupont trails or trailering over to other trailheads nearby. It's just a short drive to Brevard with cute shops and good restaurants. Bring lots of fly spray for the horses if you bring them this time of year.
