Welcome to my peaceful homestead in the valley of the Blue Ridge Mountains. This rustic studio space I affectionately call Chicken Church, has been a labor of love, using all the materials I have collected from my many construction projects over the years... and many states. My friends all know who to pass the junk along to. The space is heated with a wood stove and has an antique 1922 wood cook stove--do you know how to cook on one? The kitchen is set up with a sink, water kettle and cooking amenities, including an electric stove. Bathroom amenities: cold water sink and toilet. No shower inside, but there is an outdoor shower, propane heated. (NOTE: Heater gets removed at first 32° and won't be available in November.) The main house on the property is within 200 feet, where I share the space with Airbnb guests. There is a close neighbor family to the left, about 250 feet away. Because my property is in a residential neighborhood, respect for neighbors and other guests is greatly appreciated. Outside, you’ll feel an instant sense of peace and tranquility surrounded by horses, happy, free ranging chickens, abundant woods, gardens, ponds with some new baby geese chicks soon, open lawns and a fire pit for your restful getaway. I have a pup who monitors the outdoors... and to keep it uncomplicated, i cannot accept other pets. Asheville is about a 12 minute drive: Known as the craft beer capital in the US, there is no shortage of breweries. You don't have to go very far to find a plethora of trails in this town, including the mountain to sea trail which is easily accessible from this neighborhood. The farm to table scene is amazing... so much good food! Eat! Eat! Eat!Welcome to my peaceful homestead in the valley of the Blue Ridge Mountains.

Andrea was very pleasant during all of our interactions! She has such a cool homestead and it’ll feel like you’re in another world coming from the city. That being said, you’re only 10min outside of Asheville and a bunch of cool hiking and outdoor activities. We will surely be back.

Andrea’s Chicken Church was an absolute DREAM!! We really enjoyed getting to genuinely relax and unplug from the busyness of life!! The space was so eclectic and you could see and feel the love poured into this space! The wood burning stove that heats the space was fairly easy to use and felt sooo good!! We would 100% stay here again!

The vibe of this cabin is exactly what’s needed when in Asheville! The beautifully curated cabin offers peace and comfort beyond necessary. Andrea was great and gave me a run down upon arrival. The ease of getting into downtown was a huge perk. I’ll be back soon!!

My fiancé and I loved the studio! it was quiet, cozy, and a short driving distance to downtown and the Blue Ridge Parkway. I loved waking up with the sun and seeing the horses first thing in the morning while sipping my coffee. Then coming back at night to a sky dazzled with stars. Truly a one of a kind spot, 10000/10 recommend💚🌌

Convenient, Cozy, & Creative Space

What a jewel in the Asheville and Black Mountain area! Andrea and her Hipcamp are worth checking out. Enjoyed her relaxing space in the mornings and evenings as my son and I explored the hiking in adjacent towns. Conveniently located, yet isolated enough to get away. She has creatively taken a large space and sectioned it off with hanging doors and windows that provides adequate interior separation and relaxation. Cozy and beautiful. I recommend and hope to return.

Gorgeous Space.

This place is truly one-of-a-kind. Tucked into the valley of the Blue Ridge Mountains, the property feels peaceful and secluded but is still close enough to Asheville for easy trips into town. The studio itself is rustic and full of character—clearly a labor of love built from years of collecting unique materials. Every corner has a story. Our host was amazing, friendly and communicative. If you’re looking for a peaceful, off-the-beaten-path place with tons of character and a true connection to nature, this is it. Highly recommend for anyone wanting to unplug and soak up the charm of the mountains. I hope to stay here again and can't wait to go back.

Andrea's art studio was incredible! Such a lovely place with ample space, supplies for cooking, and sleeping 5 people. We loved getting to see the horses and were enchanted with the neighborhood. Even with the devastating storm, Andrea was so helpful, informative, and generous to help us feel comfortable and stay nourished.

It passed the vibe check

Creative space with host that's friendly and helpful without being intrusive. Note that the location of the studio may not be as private as some other places, but its proximity to town makes up for this. Plus you get horses and chickens and a sweet dog for company! The outdoor shower is in the shade and so it could be warmer, but that also means more privacy. The indoor loo is definitely a plus, as is the wood stove for heat and the very comfortable mattress. The indoor string lights are a charming option and provide nice ambiance when the brighter lights are off. We would absolutely stay at Andrea's again.

Lovely, comfy spot

What a fun, comfortable, lovely place to stay in the beautiful mountains outside Asheville! Andrea is a gracious host and so are the chickens. :) The shower is outdoors but was very fine and warm. The wood burning stove is easy to use and the bedding was warm even with low 40s temps outside. I plan on returning!

Great space, great energy

Really enjoyed our time in Andrea's art studio. The main bed was super comfy and warm, and the kitchen was well-equipped enough for us to make all our meals there. (We were intrigued by the wood stove but ended up cooking on the electric range and electric oven/air fryer combo.) Overnight temps got quite cold (upper 20s/low 30s) for being springtime, but we kept the fire going until we went to bed and the place retained enough heat for us to be fine in the morning. You're at the very end of a road up the side of a ridge, so it feels safe, secure and serene, and Andrea is a great hostess. It was too cold to use the outdoor shower, unfortunately, and I'm not sure it was even set up, but we got showers at the nearby YMCA.

We loved staying at Andrea’s cute little art studio/cabin. She was so welcoming and gave us some great recommendations for places to check out in Asheville as well as a lesson on how to use the awesome wooden burning stove in the cabin. It was so incredible to get to wake up with such a beautiful view and see chickens and horses outside our window! I would definitely recommend !

I loved staying in the studio! It was so peaceful and cozy. The kitchen was well stocked, there were some books on the shelf to read, plenty of comfortable spaces. Really neat decorative items and creative ways used to separate different areas of the space. It was all around a wonderful stay and great for having slow, calm moments to yourself.

The chicken church is so fun and funky! We loved every minute of our stay. Theres no better way to wind down the night than sitting by the roaring fire. With DT Asheville only 10 mins away, the location is perfect. Would love to stay again if we return to Asheville.

Great place, good time!

The place was just as expected, clean and cabin like. We had the stove fired up every night and slept to a cool comfy night with down comforters and an artsy atmosphere. It was so casual and relaxing. The shower is outside and was "Green Acres" like. Lots of wood available, water pitcher for drinking, hot water in the kitchen area, not in the bathroom. Also hat water in the outdoor shower. If adventurous this is the place. So close to Biltmore and Asheville with lots of great restaurants and beautiful mountains. There was nothing I didn't like about it. Andrea is very helpful and gives you your privacy, can't wait to go back.

I had a great time at the chicken church. It’s such a unique space, full of things to look at. It was the peaceful space I needed to recuperate after a rough couple of months. I particularly loved the stocked kitchen and steamy outdoor shower. Great place and looking forward to staying again!
