It starts with family here: The Turchin family bought the farm in 2017, transforming The Horse Shoe Farm into a private retreat with luxury accommodations for 61 guests, a spa in an authentic renovated barn, on-site dining and bar, and private event space. Eight vacation homes, cottages and a loft can also be booked individually or combined, and the entirety of The Horse Shoe Farm can be rented starting at $8,500 per night in the high season. Accommodations include modern amenities, kitchens, fireplaces, WiFi and more.
The farm’s grounds are sure to delight family travelers, offering a pool and pool house, a hot tub, sauna, steam room, a fishing pond, organic garden, spring-fed farm pond and biking trails, with all needed equipment complimentary. The Farmhouse serves as a communal living, game and conference room, including a pool table, ping pong and arts and crafts. Guests can visit with the animals that call The Horse Shoe Farm home — two horses, three sheep, five goats and chickens and ducks.

The Silo Cookhouse’s dining room boasts views of the surrounding land, including the Blue Ridge Mountains and Mt. Pisgah, with a menu that changes daily based on available ingredients, largely sourced from gardens on the property.
