My wife and I moved to the area, from Boone, in the spring of 2014. Our dream was to own a house, preferably a cabin, on top of a mountain with long range views and a gradual winding road to the top. Living in Boone, this dream was definitely out of reach. When we began our search for a new home in the Asheville area, we discovered that the more affordable homes were in fact on the mountains. Perfect! In general I always have a pretty positive outlook on what’s possible, however, I was skeptical that we would ever find our dream home. As Jeannie began her Zillow browsing adventures, one particular cabin with acreage, that was outside of our budget continued to pop up. Jeannie would delete it and then it would come back. At some point the price began to drop, and drop, and drop. On our way back into town one weekend after attending a wedding, I convinced Jeannie to drive by the cabin just because we had the time. Immediately we fell in love and reached out to our realtor buddy. It was more of a shot in the dark but it couldn’t hurt, right? We held our breath for the next month totally expecting someone to get it under contract before us or the sellers not accepting our offer. It had already been reduced significantly so we knew our chances of a lowball offer were slim. We offered the most that we could get a loan for. They accepted! I still get anxious thinking back to that month, October 2014. Many years and two children later, here we are, just as excited everyday to make the long trek up our mountain as we were that August of 2014, and now we are happy to offer a similar experience to you, without having to buy the place. Never stop dreaming! Hope to see you soon, cheers!

In the fall and winter enjoy 360 degree views and in the summer enjoy the shade and cool breeze while relaxing & snacking on wild wine berries and black raspberries. What you will not find is light pollution, traffic, and a desire to leave the mountain. Fall asleep to the calls of the hoot owl and wake up to the knocking of the wood pecker.

Tip Top of Barnhill Mountain

Top Rating for Top of the Mountain

Where should I start? Great location and view. So many extra that it’s hard to mention them all- steel line dog line run between 2 trees., nice established fire pit up top and at the shelter, shelter contained numerous amenities in case you might have forgotten some of your camping basics, added fire wood option was more than enough wood besides downed wood in the area, bathroom facility with a view, plenty of good trees for hammock camping. A++ for this Hipcamp and will definitely be booking again.

Tip Top of Barnhill Mountain

This was one of my favorite spots I’ve camped in NC. It was incredibly quiet. The views of the mountains were great through the trees (in March), and the shelter was perfect for some windy evenings we experienced. This is a location I would return to again and again!

Birdsong Bungalow

We had a fantastic time camping at birdsong bungalow! It was beautiful up there and our dogs enjoyed running around sniffing everything. There was great wood for a fire and the s’mores kit was a nice touch!
