Tiny House in the Trees with Fire Pit/Foscoe/No damage from Helene!

Our tiny house is one 528 sf open room with a fully-equipped kitchen, table for four and bar-seating for two. In the living area there is a sectional sofa for reading, watching Roku TV or movies or playing board games. For sleeping, there is a built-in king-sized bed and a single bed (both are super comfy). There is also a full private bathroom with a shower accessible from the living area. The tiny house is also equipped with great Wifi.

We love the window-covered walls! It's like being in a tree house... on the ground:) Outside is an acre of flat wooded and grassy yard for exploring plus a firepit and plenty of seating (rocking chairs, swing, table and chairs). We leave you all of the things you need for a great fire!! There is a chance that guests will be staying next door at the antique cabin while you occupy the tiny house. On the other side of the cabin, there is a family favorite guaranteed-catch trout farm - but, occasionally, you may smell the fish!

Guest access
You will have access to all amenities on our property. Outdoors in warmer seasons, you can enjoy over an acre of our "cookie-sheet flat" land (a rarity in these mountains) with bocce ball, croquet, etc. We have a large grassy area for yard games and a wooded area for exploring, too. There are plenty of chairs in the yard for relaxing, reading, or chatting plus a firepit to warm you on chilly nights.

Other things to note *
Our cabin and tiny house are centrally located to just about everything in the area. The following towns or communities are just a 10-minute drive: Banner Elk, Valle Crucis and Boone. There is great access to fishing on the Watauga River, hiking and views of Grandfather Mountain, zip-lining and snow tubing at Seven Devils, and skiing at Sugar Mountain, Beech Mountain, or Appalachian Ski Mountain. A full-service grocery store is only five minutes away. Also within a five-minute drive are restaurants, bars, coffee shop, day spa, hair salon, vineyard, hiking trails, park and playground, Watauga River fly-fishing, and a guaranteed-catch trout farm. Also of note, we get a good cellular signal on our property. Our property is treated but since we are in the middle of the woods there is a chance you will see a bug or two, especially during the warmer months!
The apartment is air-conditioned and features a kitchen and space to spread out with a separate bedroom. Guests can enjoy a Smart TV and stay connected with free WiFi. Other standard amenities include a coffee maker, a desk, and a dining table.

We enjoyed a wonderful weekend visiting our daughter for Fall Break. We were able to relax, sleep in (quiet). We had everything we needed to cook. We brought our crockpot but they even had that. Water was hot, beds comfortable, and close to everywhere we had planned going.

I was taking my first solo trip with my dog. I have never visited western NC and was unsure of where to stay. After visiting the surrounding towns, I was glad that I chose to stay here. It was a chill place to relax after a day of exploring. This tiny house had everything I needed. All the towns in that area are very welcoming to dogs. My sweet 12 year old pup was a big hit. He was allowed in every store, many waterfall hikes, The Blowing Rock, The Swinging Bridge, and even river tubing. So glad we came. And the beds are really comfortable. Slept like a baby.

Adorable tiny house.

Stay was great! A short stay of only one night, but would stay here again for longer periods. The bed was extremely comfortable, the shower was large, and the fire pit was great for relaxing.

Stressed knee compression.

Overall when life at home gets crazy and you just need to get away from all the hustle and bustle. My husband and I live about 45 minutes away and love the mountains. So, this tiny little house was great. We took out Great Dane puppy with us and she loved the house, she loved the yard, she loved the fire pit and we loved watching her run around and have a good time. That was very enjoyable for my husband and I. It was just what we needed. We have been married for almost 47 years and you still need to get away and relax, smell the clean mountain air. Anyway if we have the ability to rent it again we sure will and I would suggest you give it a try too.

Disappointing

We were so excited to visit this area. However, the property description was very deceiving. The property is located behind a storage unit not far from a buy highway. We were told that there would be wood for a fire. They left us a 2x4 and some sticks. There was an electric line down in the yard and the TV did not work. The internet was very slow. We came home 2 days early.

The Beds Were Comfortable

Not what we pictured. This is an older structure located between a storage business and some sort of factory on the other side. Cut off the main road and make your way through sort of a junkyard to get to the house. All the outdoor furniture was covered with leaves, dirt, and cobwebs. Anytime you use hot water (shower, sink, etc.) it sounds like someone is using a chainsaw outside. Beds were comfy. In the mornings especially, you can hear loud, loud noises from some sort of factory (like dump trucks loading and unloading). If it’s just about location…it’s not bad. Close to Banner Elk, Valle Crucis, Boone, Blowing Rock, and Grandfather Mountain bridge.

Tiny House Big Furniture

The house was cute, and the sectional couch doesn't belong nor does the second bed, together they took up much of the interior. Our only issue was with our arrival, we never received any instructions on entry, directions, etc., until we arrived. I contacted the owner and all went well afterwards.
