No mountain experience is complete without a fully-immersive, nature-infused farm experience for your family, complete with a full petting zoo (shared only with our other cabins on property), 1/4 mile of creek frontage, ponds, hiking trails and 15 acres of manicured grounds with land art, swings and whimsy around every corner! And we then decided to add a bird estuary, ziplines and a trampoline 🤪

The goats and huge bunnies have arrived and more animals to come, ducklings are hatching, maybe we will add a full bird estuary with chickens, roosters, peacocks, turkeys? BIRD ESTUARY ADDED!

Your Barn turned out so romantic with the shimmering candles and chandelier at night! Grab that special someone and cozy up at Starry Nights!

When we are not hosting small weddings (yes, the space and 15 acres are THAT picturesque), we welcome you and a loved one or your small family to enjoy the river, the acreage, the ponds, the swings, the secrets around every turn, but most importantly, the experience of staying in such a unique cabin rental, something worthy of your Instagram feed.

When we began this process, we wanted to create something that Millenials salivate over (unique), something small families would return to and watch the excitement through their children's eyes and something yesteryear that pulled at the heart strings of the retirees. We nailed the experience!

Nestled on a 15+ acre property with hiking and walking trails, plenty of outdoor spaces to sit, lounge and take in nature, two ponds and 1000+ feet of state-trout-stocked creek frontage, your rental will give you a little of yesteryear with all the modern conveniences of today. Mountain charm at its best! And less than 20 minutes to downtown Boone, Valle Crucis and Banner Elk and within 35 minutes of all the major ski resorts (App Ski, Sugar, Beech and Hawksnest), the location is perfect - away from it all (the mountain experience you expect), but easy access to your family activities with no major inclines too and from town during the winter months!

Starry Nights is the upper level of our Barn (Fairytale is a rental below) and is comfy and cozy for two, but welcomes up to 2 adults and 2 kids (King + Pullout Couch + Blow-up Q). With a full kitchen, full bathroom, WiFi, Satellite TV and comfortable California King bed, you will have everything you need!

And the kids will truly be one with nature (as will you) with acres to explore, frogs to find, birds to watch, stones to skip, swings all over and hidden gems we keep a surprise ... the list goes on and on.

The property has so much to offer. You can take a walk around the property (15 fully accessible acres), hike through the woods, smell beautiful seasonal flowers, choose a picnic spot, benches to rest your legs, sit to enjoy your own slice of mountain life. You might see some wildlife, as there is an abundance and the Bethel area land is not as developed as other towns. There are also two ponds on your property! Tube down the lazy creek or stroll through the vegetable garden, relax, sit back, take a load off, you have earned it. You deserve it!

You are sure to find something that will be a memory to take home. "Calming, stress relieving, and peaceful." These are the words we hear time and time again to describe this beautiful well-maintained, gated and secluded property.

You are invited to visit our little piece of heaven, and feel free to bring your pet (requires pre-approval, certain breeds are NOT allowed and we prefer pets under 25 pounds, $50 fee) - you’ll be glad you did!

This is the upper unit, one large room with private bathroom. You have access from a different side of the property than downstairs and a deck on the opposite side (with your own private hot tub and grill) from the downstairs unit with 16" beams and insulation separating you - we spared no expense in making sure the two units are as segregated as possible for privacy. You share only the roof, no shared spaces inside! Downstairs is called FAIRYTALE and is Vrbo #1372411

NOTE: The single in the photos is in the downstairs stairwell, separated by a bolt lock from the downstairs unit allowing just enough privacy for guests upstairs. It is not meant for one child and can be cold in the winter months.
