Wonderlust Acres

1 site · Lodging11 acres · Purlear, NC

The farmhouse served as Benjamin’s primary residence for six years, providing a never-ending source of inspiration and peace that most folks only experience a handful times in their life. In 2011, Benjamin moved to Boone and began leasing the farmhouse as a vacation rental.In 2018, he purchased the adjacent five acres (that he could not afford in 2004) and began to reclaim the land and creek from the scrubby, thorny growth that had settled on the dormant property.While the property transformed before his eyes, Benjamin felt as if he was discovering this place for the very first time. As he reveled in the excitement and pleasant exhaustion of working with the land, he became increasingly convinced that this special place was meant to be shared. Thus, the concept of Wonderlust Acres as a gathering place was born.More than a business, Wonderlust Acres is an expression of Benajmin’s appreciation for the spirit of the mountains and the endearing communities that they envelop. With the opening of Wonderlust Acres, Benjamin invites you to experience the enchantment for yourself.Learn more about this land:Located just 2 miles from the Blue Ridge Parkway and the Mountains-to-Sea trail, and just 30 minutes from Boone/West Jefferson/Wilkesboro, and nestled in a private, open-meadowed valley overlooking a noisy trout stream and large ponds, the timber frame barn is a 3800 sqft wedding venue with the 2 changing rooms which have been converted to 2 glamping rooms. Both are locked off from the main barn structure to allow use when no events are scheduled, and have separate private keyed access, and include streaming TV, a 2-top burner, mini-fridge, and fold-down small full sofa bed for 2 (larger people may need to bring a blow-up mattress/pad for more room to spread out!). There is a men's and women's bathroom with 2 stalls joining the barn and accessed from the outside, along with 2 outdoor showers for longer stays. Propane, on-demand hot water is provided. The other structure that can be rented is the pond pavilion (an additional guest fee is charged over 4 people to accommodate) that features 2 full-size outdoor mattresses, a camping stove, chairs, and large firepit and firecircle.

We are so happy to host! Guests love it here: "Our stay at everbear village was just what we needed. Even though it was just a few days we had a lot of family fun. The covered pavilion was great for when it started to rain we could all still be together and play games. The river was cold but it didn’t stop us from tubing down the river. Portapotty was clean and had sanitizer along with other nice touches. (As my 5 year old said it made her feel better about using portapotty’s haha). Owners were very responsive about any questions that we had. Thank you for the much needed family time."

Casa Nola

1 site · Lodging3 acres · Weaverville, NC

Homesteaders, nature lovers, two and four legged beast tamers and huge fans of laughing. We are a reasonably crunchy family that relocated right outside Asheville NC to build our dream, sustainable, homesteading property and LOVE it. We are big foodies, trained in nutrition, world traveled and a conscientious, mindful familyLearn more about this land:The tiny house was built with a lot of love and a bohemain flare in mind. It is an upscale glamping experience with electricity, a super comfortable Queen sized memory foam bed encased in a mattress protector, small efficiency kitchen to prepare light meals and a huge outdoor deck and outdoor compostable flushing toilet.There is no shower at this time, so please check back if this is a deal breaker for you, as we are in the process of configuring an outdoor shower. We are always working on the landscape, but it is reasonably organic (read as wild!)- tons of berries, fruit trees, nut trees and grapes during the warmer months, which you are welcome to explore and pick! We hope to have this transformed by next year and are committed to organic permaculture. We provide filtered gravity fed spring water in the kitchenette, which is some of the purest to drink and mineralize your body with. The sink is plumbed in, but there is no hot or running water besides the 5 gallon glass jug that sits atop the sink. The tiny house is across from our art studio and up the hill from our main house and other rental 'The Cottage at Casa Nola, so if you are looking for complete seclusion this may not be the best spot for you, as you may occasionally glimpse one of our four or two legged children :) That being said, we have worked to create upmost privacy in the tiny house and it feels worlds away from anyone! The entire property sits on 3 acres and is a mere 16 minute drive to downtown Asheville. You might see us coming or going, as we are a busy family, however we deeply respect your privacy and we recognize the fact you may be here to get away and are as unobtrusive hosts as possible! Our main house, cottage, tiny house and studio are all relatively close, but we’ve designed it for maximum privacy for all! That being said we are happy to help out with anything you might need, please just let us know, but otherwise we won’t bother you! The bed is a queen sized memory foam in a loft and requires climbing a very sturdy ladder, so please make sure you are agile enough to do this. The couch folds into a twin bed if need be, but is far less comfortable than the loft.***PETS***We are pet friendly and would like to remain that way, so we ask if you are bringing a pet, to be a responsible, rule abiding pet owner. If you would like to bring your pet, please send us a request beforehand with pet breed, size and age along with acknowledgement that you have read pet rules.We charge a non-refundable $50 pet fee per pet.Pets CANNOT at any time be left unattended. We offer an additional low-fee pet sitting service, please contact us if you’d like more information as we have a separate site. We ask that only well behaved, fully house trained, non-aggressive pets stay, so we can remain a pet friendly space for other people. Please do clean up after your pet. We do have our own dogs on the other side of the fence and kids, so please no animals that will be a problem for. There are some trails in the back of the property that can be walked as well as a long dirt road. Please read full pet rules, in rules section.We do our best to keep the tiny house stocked with housewares and extra goodies to make your stay more comfortable. If it is there, you are welcome to use it. There is an electric tea kettle, mini- fridge, hot plate and french press. It is fully stocked with dishware and pans along with coffee, tea and simple meal prep condiments.The deck is absolutely huge and in general our property is amazing for star gazing! There is a window fan in the top of the lofts to circulate air, a stand up AC in the warm months and small space heater in the colder monthsWe hope that you will love the space and the area as much as we do! We recently relocated here and it’s been the best decision ever! Great weather, food, art, fun and people!We are proud to be LGBQ friendly and don’t discriminate based on race, gender or religion. The only thing we discriminate against are people who hurt children or animals, because hey-that’s not cool!
