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!
During your stay at this apartment building, you're just a quick walk from Watauga River. The apartment includes amenities such as free WiFi and a kitchen.
  • Air-conditioned apartment with kitchen, Smart TV, and refrigerator
  • Free WiFi (speed: 250+ Mbps (good for 3–5 people or up to 10 devices))
  • Steps from Watauga River and 3 minutes by foot from Grandfather Mountain State Park
This apartment offers its guests a garden. The front desk is open around the clock.

This Banner Elk apartment is smoke free.

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.

A senior citizen with walking issues, parking close to door was an issue. I had a lovely stay and I would rent again if I were by myself.

Little house in the mountains

The tiny home was great for the two of us. Clean and very quiet!! Loved how centralized it was to two different towns and close to a gas station for late night snacks. Will stay again.

Tiny Little Gem

Sweet and quiet but not far from fun activities. Loved sitting outside by the firepit just breathing nature. Exactly R&R we were looking for! House was clean and tidy and perfect for us. I recommend this for a lovely getaway. Loved this tiny little gem!

Reservation was easy to make, and the place was comfortable for me and my niece and my little dog. Both nights we were there were pretty cold, but we were comfortable in our tiny house. Many thanks to Shelley for helping us be comfortable.

The perfect getaway!

This little mountain house was marvelous! We planned a romantic getaway and this was exactly what we needed. I have never slept so well after a long day of hiking as I did on the comfiest bed/pillows. We will definitely book this house again.

Great budget friendly place

Loved this tiny home. This was perfect for my husband and I and our golden retriever. Very comfortable bed and sofa and desk for working. The flat yard was great for playing fetch with the dog. Would definitely stay here again.
