The Cartner family has roots in the area that run deep. Their family has a love for the Appalachian Mountains that began with the Cartner Christmas Tree Farm. Family owned and operated in the Blue Ridge Mountains, founders, Sam and Margaret Cartner, have been growing high quality Fraser fir Christmas trees since 1959.

We invite our guests to explore the nearby tree farm. Finding the farm is easy. All you have to do is walk out the door of the Rabbit Hill House, or the Bunkhouse to miles of grass trails that lead through the Christmas tree farm, all the way to a fire tower that’s located at an elevation of 4,400 feet. It’s there that you will find yourself surrounded by stunning mountain views. You’ll quickly understand why the Cartners call this area home. We hope you enjoy your stay as much as we have and continue to do.
