TESTIMONIALS
The Stories of Our Happy Clients
Wedding
"Don't get us started on the spa located on the property!! This was one of our favorite spots - for both us AND our guests! The cold plunges were one of the highlights of our visit! We had never done this before and, on the morning of our wedding, decided to give it a try and it was AMAZING! You've got to try the plunges if you stay on this property. The sauna and swim spa were big hits too. The weather was even nice enough for us to give the paddle boat a whirl! If you choose to stay on this property, there really is no need to go anywhere else. We loved every minute here and hope to one day return - maybe with friends for a nice getaway! The owners were incredibly helpful, responsive, and very lovely to work with! I would give more than 5 stars if I could. This place was simply perfect for our wedding. BOOK IT!”

Family Getaway
“Our stay at Marisa's property was simply fantastic! There are a few properties in the area set back in a space that is as quiet and beautiful as this one. The home is prepared as if you live there, and our next visit will not require us to bring many of the items we typically have to carry, especially if you enjoy cooking! Our children spent each day playing outside, fishing, and they certainly didn't want to leave! Marisa, thank you for being so timely in your response and checking in to ensure we had what we needed! Lastly, the home and deck views were fantastic, and there is a significant amount of gathering space in the house! Enjoy your stay. You will not be disappointed!”

“Beautiful home and interesting property full of lots to do for both kids and adults. Very well decorated and spacious for large gatherings. Our stay was wonderful!“
-Nicole-
Family Event
“We booked this entire property for a wedding in Asheville and enjoyed every minute here! From the beautiful main house and entertainment area, to the nature surrounding it, to the cozy nooks and especially the magical plants living in the home - we LOVED it!!! Marisa was a joy to work with and even grabbed some locally sourced coffee beans to welcome our group. Everything was smooth and easy, and we cannot wait to come back to Blackberry Farm! THANK YOU!”
-Melanie-
Birthday Celebration
“Its a beautiful property with plenty to do. One day instead of going out, we fished, played games, etc. Marisa is very responsive and helpful. There were a ton of special touches all around the house; Carmel apple making basket, scavenger hunt, and special welcome basket. The most special part was that it was one of the kids 14th bday and they got her two thoughtful gifts!!! Lastly, they went to the grocery prior to us arriving so we didn't have deal with it. We are looking at more properties that they rent out and cannot wait to go back to this one!!! (The kids are already asking)!! We cannot say enough about our experience.”

Family Getaway
“Our family’s stay at Marisa’s place outside Marshall, NC was just the peace and quiet we needed. The charm of the uniquely picturesque home tucked into the Appalachian hillside was a pleasant retreat from the concrete jungle of Dallas, however we brought the summer heat with us. Regardless, it’s a great escape for a large family looking to relax in nature and Marisa was a great host who puts every effort into a seamless stay. Thank you for the experience and we hope we brought the weather home.”
-Lucas-
Wedding
“Marissa and Dustin opened their home to us to host and stay for our wedding. We couldn’t imagine how perfect it would be. Between the landscape, the over all look, to the interior design; all of it was perfect. The care and detail was beyond belief to what they had waiting for us. This host and property are above all others.”
-Daniel-
Family Stay
“Cool house on a stunning property! It was quiet a serene with lots of space for the kids to explore and enjoy nature. Marisa was more than accommodating - the communication was great and we so appreciated the thoughtful touches and gift baskets of food she left for our arrival. Great hosts, great stay!”
-Angela-
Getaway
“This home was lovely. Great location, beautiful decor, and very peaceful. They had everything we needed and were extremely quick to reply if we had questions.
Note for the chefs reading this - I was very impressed by how well-stocked the kitchen was. They had everything we needed to make incredible meals. Typically Airbnb's offer the bare minimum of kitchen appliances, pots/pans, spices etc.... This home was well stocked with everything we needed to cook for a group of 7 during our stay. We had a great time and will certainly come back!”
-Brooke-
Wedding
“Can’t say enough great things about our stay! Marisa was SO responsive and made sure we had everything we needed. She even hired an extra cleaners to get us checked in early. We utilized the loft and manor - both are extremely clean and have beautiful decor. We spent the weekend here with our families to celebrate our marriage. We had the best time and can’t wait to come back!”
-Leila-
Holiday Celebration
“Marisa’s place is amazing! Perfect for a large family holiday!
Marisa was super responsive, helpful and thought of so many details!”
-Heather-
Elopement
“Lovely property, easy check in and out. Had small wedding with family staying on site, was absolutely perfect and wouldn't change anything.”
-Lorenzo-
Family Event
“We were in town for a wedding and used Marisa’s home as our base camp! Both the loft and manor were well equipped and beautifully decorated. We enjoyed early morning chats on the front porch, beautiful sunset views from the loft deck, fishing and camp fires! Our early morning visitors (fawn) and beautiful butterflies came around daily! We will cherish the memories made for years to come.”
-Cyndi-
Family Reunion
“Marisa’s a great and accomodating host. The house was wonderful for our family reunion. The property is unique in the best way, and there are plenty of things to do. It’s great that it feels secluded, but all the necessities are a short drive away. The pond kept the kids highly entertained throughout and the main manor house and loft have very tasteful and impressive renovations + decor. There’s nothing that could’ve been improved during our stay.”
-Daniel-
Getaway
"Amazing property with so much entertainment! The kids loved fishing and swimming in the pond. We also had a blast watching an outdoor movie and making pizza! Great house for a large group- served as a wonderful “base” for our family group while visiting Asheville for a wedding. House was VERY well-equipped with cooking supplies and towels- multiple washers & dryers- Truly a “home away from home.”
-Mariana-
Corporate Retreat
“What a beautiful slice of western North Carolina heaven! We ran a retreat for a dozen colleagues, and it was a wonderful location for this type of relaxed, business event. In particular, the huge kitchen and dining area in the manor were home to many warm, relaxed, laughter-filled meals. Marisa was helpful and responsive and supported us with a few special requests before and during our event. So many rooms contained special surprises e.g. candles and bath salts in a bathroom or all the fixins for smores awaiting us upon arrival in both kitchens. We so appreciate all the attention to detail and creating a truly delight-full experience. Thank you!”
-Tracy-
Family & Friends Gathering
“Blackberry Springs was the perfect, family-friendly location for our large group. Tons of room to spread out, prepare huge meals, and gather together. Beautiful setting, would highly recommend. Marisa was super responsive from start to finish.”
-Katherine-
Birthday Celebration
“What a beautiful sanctuary! The house was spacious, well decorated and equipped with all the amenities. Marisa was wonderful. She put in the perfect touches before our arrival. The kids were thrilled with all the thoughtful treats. We celebrated my daughter’s 16th birthday- which Marisa made extra special, with the cake, balloons and gifts! Such a special touch that we will always remember. Being our first time in the area, Marisa provided a very helpful list of things to do, views not to miss as well as a restaurant guide. Communication was easy, and check in was pretty simple too. We loved our time at this property and can’t wait to come back!”
-Yamini-
Getaway
"We travel A LOT all over the place too. Stayed in some cool places and this is a top for me based on first impression. This place is magical! If you get the opportunity to book it, do it! Marisa was wonderful to work with! I will be back for sure. Love it! I've totally relaxed here. I NEVER do that. It's a very special place."
-Jamie-
Womens Retreat
“I can’t say enough about Marisa! She was so amazing to work with and was so accommodating and thoughtful throughout the entire process. We had a women’s retreat at the house and she added so many personal touches that made all the women feel so welcomed. Her communication was off the charts and you could feel the care and loving energy in every exchange we had. I can’t wait to host more retreats there. The property and houses were amazing and we felt at home immediately. The grounds were so peaceful. It was truly a magical experience so if you are hosting a special event, I would definitely recommend Blackberry Farm!!”
-Sebrina-
Leadership Retreat
“Wonderful! Marisa's home worked perfectly for our group of 9 work colleagues on a leadership retreat. Only 2 people needed to share a room, otherwise everyone had their own private space. I was in the loft house up the hill and it was beautifully designed and appointed - 3 en-suite bedrooms each with well designed stylish bathrooms. The main house was perfect for a few days of meetings, pond swimming, and lounging on the deck. The pizza oven was a lot of fun and we enjoyed using the multiple fire pits and laws for cornhole, frisbee, and football. Communication was great, Marisa helped us find a private chef from the area who cooked us a delicious meal one night. Highly recommended.”
-Eric-
Family Reunion
“This is an ideal place for a large family or group. We rented both houses so everyone had their own bedroom and bathroom. Every room was comfortable and beautifully decorated. Kitchens were very well equipped for cooking our Thanksgiving dinner. We had everything we needed. Weather was very cold so we were not able to get out to enjoy all of the outdoor amenities that were available. Marisa was always quick to respond to any concerns or questions we had. We were unsure of what we might find after Hurricane Helene came through the area. Marisa did a lot of research to reassure us we'd be able to get there and still be able to access most of the surrounding areas. We enjoyed our stay.”
-Janice-
50th Wedding Anniversary
“Our large family celebrated our 50th wedding anniversary the weekend we stayed at this wonderful property. Our expectations were exceeded and every one of us had a great time and a very special experience. It was truly magical! I believe because of the many amenities, the spaciousness, and the comfort of the home, loft, and grounds everyone was able to enjoy themselves and relax.
We enjoyed everything - the pizza oven, corn hole, horse shoes, pond, fishing, paddle boat, floats, ping pong. movie projector, grills, large kitchen, etc. Marissa the host is extremely responsive and helpful. I can't think of a thing I would change!”
-Nancy-
Wedding
"My husband and I were married on this property and words cannot adequately express just how perfect this place was! We had 16 of our family and friends stay on the property, with another 17 guests in attendance at the actual wedding. We had our rehearsal dinner here as well as our reception and everything was PERFECT. The house had plenty of room for everyone and was beautifully decorated and adequately supplied with everything we needed! We honestly did not decorate much outside of what decor was already being used in the house because everything was so beautifully done. We were told MULTIPLE times by many of our guests how perfect this place was!"
- Sarah -
Family Reunion
“We can not put our stay into words. The two houses were immaculate and beautiful. The host made sure we were comfortable and had everything we could ever had needed. Pictures can not do this place justice. Its absolutely stunning inside and out. We had a pizza night that was a huge hit, the kids loved creating their pizza. Poles were in the water and kids in the paddleboat the majority of our 5 night stay. The price tag felt like a lot initially but truthfully the property is priceless and the cost could and should be more. I highly recommend staying here if able to, it will create perfect memories that will last a lifetime.”
- Brendon-
Wedding
“There is not going to be enough space to be able to describe just how AMAZING Marisa and this property truly is. From day one, she has been so present and so helpful. We hosted our wedding on their property from Portland, OR and nothing can stop this woman and the team behind her. She was so thoughtful with each of her renovations and with the additions of the sauna, geodome, and spa. She has now seriously become one of my favorite humans and is truly just looking to make your stay for your group the most magical experience you could possibly have. From the hygge decor to the intentional spaces to the property itself to the chefs kitchens to the golf cart, if you are looking for a space for your group (kids of all ages included) this is the most beautiful compound you could possibly ask for. The proximity to Asheville proper and the airport is so conviennent as well as it is only 40 minutes away. Don’t let any hesitations stop you as it is well worth every penny you spend. We love them.”
