2 Bedroom Place in Nebo

This historic farmhouse is located in a picturesque country setting. Minimum rental period is 3 months. The location is on the winery circuit next door to South Creek Winery, and about 10 minutes or so from Silver Fork Winery. The home was built in the early 1900's from wood obtained from this farm tract. There was a civil war era cabin at the current home location where Daniel's great-grandparents, Adolphus Rowe & Annie Rowe Simmons, lived and some of the floor joists were kept and utilized when the home was built. Adolphus is the oval picture closest to the master bedroom and we are looking for a good picture of Annie Simmons. Daniel's granddad married his grandmother Anna Bowman, and her dad, Daniel's great grandfather Sam Bowman, is the oval picture to the left of the Adolphus picture. Anna Bowman is seen in a picture holding Daniel at the top of the steps. Daniel's 2nd cousin, Lewis Guy Flack, is in a picture on the fireplace mantle. He was the first casualty/death during WW2 from McDowell County. Daniel's uncle cline is the framed portrait picture in the living room. He is also seen in the master bedroom in the iconic picture with Dwight Eisenhower, soldier standing to the far right with a pack on his front, prior to the D-Day invasion. Daniel's grandfather, who was also named Daniel, lived in this home and told the story of troops coming through the area during the Civil War. Most of the community relayed this from one household to the next and word spread that troops were coming, so many of the household community were prepared. Troops were looking for food and valuables. Adolphus was in the war at the time so his wife, Annie Simmons Rowe and a farmhand, hid the livestock to keep it from being confiscated. Daniel's grandfather told him that the milk cow and other livestock were taken to a rock shelving/cave back through the woods and were not found by the troops. We have relatives that fought for both sides during the Civil War, hence the saying, "Brother Against Brother". Our family has an extensive military history and there are pictures in the home reflecting this. The home was first renovated after World War II when Daniel's dad and brothers came back from the War. They enclosed the rear porch and kitchen area to make it part of the home. The kitchen was detached from the home kitchen prior to that. The Sears & Roebuck cook/woodstove is still in the kitchen and this was used by Daniel's grandmother. You can see the lap siding in the laundry room that was on the outside porch before the renovation. The front gable, brick columns, and indoor plumbing were added at that time as well. The hardwood flooring throughout the home was installed and came from wood cut from the farm. Daniel & Ellen who are the owners, also worked on the home for several years recently and modernized it to some degree. There is central heat and air, dish TV, and Wi-Fi and the end goal was to add some modern conveniences, but keep it rustic as well. You will love it here if you love what we have described. This is one of 3-homes on approximately 100 acres. The home is about 10-minutes from beautiful Lake James and I-40 and about 35 minutes from the eastern part of Asheville. The home offers beautiful views, a peaceful country setting, comfort and roominess. The home rents for $2400/month. Friendly, house trained dogs are allowed but no cats due to owner allergies. All dogs must be leash walked. Puppies are not allowed. The main thing is to come and have a fun time!

Summary: This property is amazing. The historic house is beautiful and takes you back to a simpler time but still has modern conveniences. Private location with beautiful scenery. The hosts are next door if you need anything yet they are very discreet. Comfortable beds and the ping pong table was a welcome bonus. Lake James is gorgeous and serene. We wanted to get away from the hustle and bustle and this trip did not disappoint. We would definitely return!

Summary: This was a comfortable and relaxing getaway spot. It is exactly as described in the listing and was very clean. We are history buffs and really enjoyed looking at all the antiques and family photos on display. It was very convenient for our kayaking trip on Lake James and we enjoyed the winery next door and a nearby brewery. Our dogs had a great time too! We definitely want to return for a longer visit!

Summary: My husband and I stayed with our 2 dogs for the weekend, I wish the trip was longer. The house had so much history and the shower and bed were great! Very nice place to stay! The views were amazing and the sunrise was gorgeous. The yard was great for the dogs and the driveway was a nice walk. Close to Lake James, where we kayaked all day for a fishing tournament. Close to Marion where we hiked to Toms Creek Falls *dogs allowed*. Great vacation!

Summary: We loved the history shared here in this farmhouse. Excellent location for a peaceful quiet get a way. Visited Lake James state park, Black Mountain downtown, and the South Creek Winery ( right next door). Ellen and Daniel were very welcoming, friendly, gracious hosts.

Summary: So much ambiance. Peaceful and tucked away but not far off the main roads. Loved sitting at the breakfast table on the porch overlooking hay fields. Everything was comfortable (beds chairs sofas). There was a hammock, a little grill and a ping pong table. I appreciated that there were soaps and shampoos and coffee filters. And a hairdryer. Really the best blend of what you would expect at a hotel and the comfort of a home. I wrote to the owner Twice before our stay and the answers came almost immediately. For my first VRBO this was a wonderful experience. Would highly recommend.

Summary: Nice quiet spot about 15 minutes from Lake James. Daniel and Ellen were great and very helpful! Our dog loved it also, great places to walk both on the property and at the lake nearby. There is a winery right next door with live music and tastings that was so much fun! So relaxing, would definitely come again!
