About Us
Otter Creek School Farm is a 50-acre paradise in the Nantahala Forest. The property boasts four miles of forested walking trails, 3,000 feet along Otter Creek, eight acres of pastures, historic barn and school ruins, wildlife, and native plants. The rhythm of the farm is set by our beautiful horses and the chores of gardening and horse keeping. We invite you to enjoy this amazing property by visiting our Airbnb. We are very near some of the most sought-after mountain and river adventures, and there are amazing mountain towns within 25 – 50 minutes of the farm.
Come to relax or experience the adventures surrounding us.
Our History
Otter Creek School Farm was the site of Otter Creek School from 1921 to about 1951. Since then, the property has been a cattle farm, tobacco farm, and home to current owners, Tom Beisel and Lola Carlisle.
Stay at our Airbnb
The guest cottage overlooks our pastures and Otter Creek. The view is amazing throughout the day and night. Come in the summer for hikes and firefly displays and in the winter for snow and hikes with views forever.
The cottage has two bedrooms (plus a sleeper couch in den for one), two baths, full kitchen, laundry room, Wifi, wrap-around deck, and fire pits.
We are in the Nantahala Forest with many outdoor adventures available and we’re relatively near many beautiful mountain cities: Bryson City, Murphy, Franklin, Highlands, Cashiers, Robbinsville, Hayesville, Andrews and more.
The closest grocery store is Andrews — 25 minutes from Otter Creek School Farm — so bring your groceries… and come with a full tank of gas.
