Excellent experience! We stayed at the Mary Mast cabin. It was spacious and well appointed. We made a few meals and the kitchen had everything we needed. We also really enjoyed the rocking chairs on the deck with a glass of wine in the evening. It was just lovely! Thank you Mast Farm Inn!

Great stay for a few days, mid week in June. Stayed in the Mary Mast Cottage which was perfect for 2 adults and 2 girls. Everyone enjoyed spending time wandering around the farm and greeting the local goats and horses each day. The staff was great and very accommodating. The area was perfectly located for our day trips and dinners in the surrounding areas of Boone, Blowing Rock, Banner Elk and Linville.

We loved everything about our stay here. They are dog friendly and had a cute little dog park on the hill for our pup to play. There’s also a lovely barn bar across the street with live music, beer, and wine, and you can pet some very sweet horses and goats. We travelled out there to go to a concert in beech mountain and were excited to get back to the Mast Farm Inn to relax after the show. 10/10 will stay here again the next time we’re in town. Very helpful staff and lovely restaurant on the property as well. Thank you Mast Farm Inn!
