The Farmstead At Mill Spring

*The Farmstead* is a special type of stay because it offers guests an opportunity to reconnect with themselves in a way that many others do not. In addition to providing a beautiful and relaxing retreat for guests, *The Farmstead* is run by missionaries who are committed to providing fresh water, schooling, mentorship, and valuable trade skills to children in Tanzania. That's why every stay at *The Farmstead* brings one day of school to children in Tanzania—and we hope that you will join us in our cause! **This is the best time to visit**—the fall foliage is beautiful and staying here makes this property perfect for photos (and even better for activities like zip lining). It sits near hiking routes, Lake Lure, Tryon International Equestrian Center, Parker-Binns Vineyard—the list goes on. From animal tours to wine tasting and apple picking nearby; every member of the family can find an adventure. Just step outside and you'll find yourself surrounded by gardens, an abundance of nature and farm animals, fresh farm eggs for breakfast and a peaceful stay guaranteed. Despite their small size, the tiny homes are spacious, open, and equipped with everything you will need. **Every stay has brought a day of possibilities to the children in Tanzania**. Owners Darin and Heather built the tiny homes on their farmstead in hopes of sharing a bit of Tanzania with others. They wanted to create a place where guests can pause - step back from life's complexities to really reconnect with what matters most. If this tiny home isn't available when you're looking - or if your group needs something bigger - check out our other tiny homes at the farm; the designs are all unique! You'll find plenty of peace and quiet at our farm and nothing to distract you from the natural beauty of the surroundings. We encourage our guests to say hello to the animals on our property, who are here to greet them every day. Don't worry about staying up to date with your favorite television shows or sending emails from your phone. You are truly disconnected at the farm, and your mind and body will thank you for it. Technology, restaurants, and other modern conveniences are just a short drive into Lake Lure 2 miles away. If disconnecting from the internet is your goal for a weekend getaway, then the farmstead is the perfect destination for you! There are many benefits to disconnecting from technology, including mental and physical health benefits.
