I had an unforgettable stay at Durrant Farms! Whitney and Tom were exceptionally friendly and made us feel right at home. The highlight of my stay was happy hour, where we enjoyed snacks in the pasture with the llamas and alpacas. It was wonder...
ful to meet each of them by name and appreciate their unique personalities!
After a comfy sleep, the next day began with feeding the llamas and alpacas their breakfast snacks, all while taking in the stunning, morning fog-draped mountain views. Next, we enjoyed the refreshing sauna and cold plunge, setting the tone for a rejuvenating day. Walking back into the apartment, the aroma of homemade bread, farm-fresh eggs, milk, butter, and coffee welcomed us. The breakfast was fantastic and added a unique, personal touch to our stay.
Durrant Farms was the perfect couples' retreat, but I can also see it being a great spot for a friend's trip! It's convenient to Asheville, making it easy to venture into the city for a nice dinner if you choose. I highly recommend this place for anyone looking for a charming, unique, and memorable getaway!
