About this property

1940's Barn in Mountain Cove - Near DuPont Waterfalls & Hiking

Tucked in a "holler" amid hardwoods, rushing creeks, rhododendron, and a small stocked pond, is a newly converted cabin that began as a barn in the 1940's. "The Acorn" is part of our family's active homestead complete with chickens (fresh eggs! when the girls are laying - winter, not so much), potbelly pigs, fresh herbs, fishing & more.

The Acorn has been impeccably cleaned, insulated, painted, and outfitted with many modern amenities to make your stay quaint and comfortable. The den/dining/kitchen combo was the former barn, and the "sleeping lodge" - a super large room with a privacy partition - was built in the early 80's to serve as a private community library and to teach reading literacy.

Come stay Yonderways where the pace is relaxed, the mountain air fills your lungs and soul, and where the frogs and fireflies perform nightly from your private deck by a mountain stream.

Located 1/2 mile to Holmes Educational State Forest, and less than 5 miles to DuPont Forest. Centrally located between Hendersonville and Brevard, and only 15 minutes to Flat Rock, Pisgah Forest, and many other popular mountain attractions.

Cute Cottage

Great location between Hendersonville & Brevard, with a short travel to Asheville. We really enjoyed our stay. Only bummer was the bed was not comfortable at all. But otherwise it’s a great stay and great location.

Wonderful Cabin Retreat

This is a very well appointed cabin with all the comforts of home including a stocked kitchen, wifi, streaming services, outdoor dining and recreation areas . The proximity to the Dupont State Park and it's three beautiful waterfalls cannot be beat! The owners were friendly and responsive communicators. We will be back.

Amazing! Book it now!

Our stay at the Acorn surpassed my expectations. The property owner made the check in clear and easy, which was wonderful after our 8 hr drive. There was a personalized message for us when we arrived, and the cabin was clean and so very cozy. The pics do not do it justice! the decor is so cute, the beds all super comfy, and a great layout for family. We settled right in and right from the start it just felt like home. Everything we needed was on hand and Donna checked in via text regularly to make sure we had everything we needed. The fresh eggs were delicious. Great location too, close to everything we wanted to see. If we could move into the Acorn we would in a second! We got to chat with Donna and Keith and they a the sweetest people ever (cute dogs and kitties too) Definitely plan on booking again.

New Years in the Holler

We were looking for a New Year's getaway in the mountains and found the Acorn. It was perfect for us Close! Close to everything, just enough space for us, had all the amantes we needed, and Debbie and Keith were awesome!! Get some of Keith's peanut brittle if you can! I would highly recommend this for a mountain get away to rest and relax and recharge.

About the host

Hosted by Donna and Keith Lyerly

My husband and I have known one another since high school. We have 3 growns and a growing number of grands. My husband has been in manufacturing all his life which allowed us some awesome experiences living in Mexico and China. We now own a Hospitality Cleaning Company helping other vacation home owners keep their properties clean and maintenance free.

Why they chose this property

As corny as this sounds - we knew the moment we drove up to the property that we were "home", that we were to become the next stewards of this land even before laying eyes on the structures. We had been looking for approximately 15 years for the place we dreamed to have when we were so young. The approach was key - the long winding road into the property had us at "hello", but the other must haves were water - there are two rushing creeks, a pond, and a mountain stream, a guest cabin, and a small main structure, and lots of forest.

What makes this property unique

The property is located near all the natural mountain attractions: Waterfalls, hiking, mountain biking, horseback riding, fishing, tubing and more. Or should you desire, our little homestead (always a work in progress) is a destination in itself. We're looking forward to making your acquaintance!
