Stories from the community

Weekend Trip to joyville, camping site on elk creek

Camping by the creek was wonderful, and the deck was a lovely spot to read and listen to the birds. Truly peaceful. My dog loved the trails and splashing in the water! I'd love to come back and jump in the swimming hole on a hot day! Thank you Dianne 🩷

Weekend Trip to Babbling Brook Campground

Great environment! I really enjoyed the homey feel to the camp ground. We got away for a weekend and it was an awesome Experience. If you love dogs, her dogs stayed with us for most the night! They are so sweet and not aggressive! Lots of things to do! I would highly recommend!

Weekend Trip to Babbling Brook Campground

We had a lovely experience at the Babbling Brook Treehouse! We went with our two children, who loved playing hide-and-seek and walking across the slackline. We even met the animals and got a chance to milk a goat! Elizabeth is a GEM—such a kind and welcoming host. I expect that we will return again, and I would recommend it!

1 night at The North Star Dome at Compass Rose

Zack and Eva truly have a little piece of heaven and I am thankful to have enjoyed a good night's rest. The greated me warmly and made me feel right at home. The weather turned a bit cold and I wasn't prepared, however, I stayed cozy and comfortable. With the rain I wasn't able to enjoy the animals as I would have liked. Charlie, Compass and Leia are very sweet and made me feel very safe.

Weekend Trip to TangleWood Creekside Campsites

Campsite was beautiful! Well water tasted fresh, porta potty was super clean and Blair mentioned he will have a bath house later this year. We loved how spread out the campsites were and felt very private with out own little creek. The creek crossing was mild and stock forester and 4runner had no issues crossing.

What can I say that I haven’t said before we love it there

Weekend Trip to TangleWood Creekside Campsites

Daffodil Bank had plenty of room for our family of 5. 2 tents, 1 single person tent, canopy tent with our folding table plus the camps picnic table, 2 cars, and a couple places for a hammock. All that set up and still have space to move around. The Porta potty was very clean and not far from our site at all. The creek was beautiful. Everyone had a very nice time. So sad we had to leave, but we will definitely be back ♡

Weekend Trip to TangleWood Creekside Campsites

This place is amazing. Lots of sites to choose from with privacy. The winding creek the most sites are on give great views from each. Blair is a great host when something was needed. Looking forward to my next trip already booked.

We loved the location! Beautiful and peaceful which is just what we needed. Having the creek so close was absolutely amazing.

Weekend Trip to Tiny House in Happy Valley

Great little tiny house with nice hiking trails nearby.

Weekend Trip to TangleWood Creekside Campsites

Love tanglewood creekside campsites! I have stayed there a couple times and absolutely love it. It's a great place to relax and unwind, and absolutely beautiful! The owners are so kind and helpful. 10/10 recommend.

1 night at TangleWood Creekside Campsites

Blair’s piece of land is a piece of heaven. Everything is so clean and clearly cared for. I stayed in a safari tent solo and felt safe. I’ve been camping in many places all over the country and this is in my top favorites. I will say if you are looking for true seclusion, you’d be able to see other campers (if they’re there) and once in a while you can hear a car go by. But it’s quiet and peaceful and for me, someone who loves being “off grid”, it was wonderful. If I’m ever back in the area I will absolutely 100% return! Thank you Blair for everything.

1 night at Buck Ridge Resort

Great glamping spot! Very secluded, cute bath houses. We had a nice campfire and stayed warm inside.

Weekend Trip to Babbling Brook Campground

My goodness, we found a gem! Elizabeth and Mark (and of course their doggo Seth who is on the welcoming committee!) were also gems - very kind, accommodating, sincere, and thoughtful! The sound of the brook was so lovely, the privacy was perfect, the setup was a perfect balance of woodsy and convenient, the price was so good, all of the solar lighting and cute signs everywhere were so inviting, and all of the amenities provided (chairs, hammocks, cookware, etc) made packing so much less stressful which is exactly what you want for a mini vacation! We really were just looking for a serene place to camp and this was exactly that. The location was perfect as we went there to mountain bike at Warrior Creek. My husband and I really enjoyed our stay here and highly recommend it! :)

Weekend Trip to Tiny House in Happy Valley

I loved my time at the tiny house. It was cozy, clean, quiet, and stocked with everything I needed. The sauna was an incredible add-on and the stream was so peaceful. I highly recommend staying here.

1 night at TangleWood Creekside Campsites

Falling asleep to the sound of the creek was so relaxing. The light pollution is very minimal so you can see so many stars and the planets! The creekside safari tent is always perfect and the daffodils are so pretty! Can’t wait to get back!

Weekend Trip to Rocky Face Camp

The tiny house was a great getaway. It's cozy, well built and has everything you need. There is great hiking from the property.

Weekend Trip to joyville, camping site on elk creek

We had a great time although we picked a "weather challenged" weekend to visit. Diane kindly offered us the small cabin instead of the dome since it was roomier and there was a high possibility of severe thunderstorms overnight. The creek was absolutely beautiful and full of skipping stones. Their dog, Bug (I think that was his name) was sweet and welcoming! My daughter's and I look forward to coming back on a less rainy and warmer weekend to explore the creek a little better!

Weekend Trip to Adin`s river cabin

Adin is an awesome host and very accommodating. The cabin is just perfect and the privacy is unmatched. If you want to unplug and just enjoy, this is the place to be. Our doggo had so much fun running around and exploring.

Weekend Trip to Tiny House in Happy Valley

Angela and Jesse have built such a beautiful home and sanctuary for some amazing animals, including the sweetest duo Moonpie and Ziggy. Their property is a paradise for dogs, with rolling hills, numerous trails, and a lovely river for splashing and swimming. The tiny house itself was better appointed than 80% of the hotels we’ve stayed in. Just pack food and clothes - they’ve got the rest covered! Make sure you leave time in the itinerary to check out their restaurant Happy Valley Filling Station, for some delicious wood fired pizza, extensive beer menu, and the friendliest community vibes. We can’t wait to be back!

Babbling Brook Campground

11 sites · Lodging, Tents10 acres · Moravian Falls, NC

Before the Kerr Scott Reservoir was built, in the 40's and 50's, this neighborhood was a local swimming hole and vacation area. Public buses came from neighboring communities so people could boat, swim, camp, and picnic. While we don't have access to the pond, our part of this land still is calling out to people, 'Come, rest, unload your burdens, and find peace.' When we started this project with Hipcamp, we didn't fully realize that we were reconnecting with the history on this property. So, come, take your shoes off, and wade in the creek. Read a book while laying in a hammock. Sit by the fire and chat with family and friends. Come and participate in our little homesteading project, and leave your burdens behind. LOCAL ACTIVITIES: To the west is the Blue Ridge Parkway, which is 30 minutes away. 15 minutes away is Kerr Scott Dam where you can rent kayaks, pontoon boats, as well as other sporting equipment. Fish, go mountain biking on the extensive trails, and hiking. Prayer Mountain is right up the road, about 2 miles away. Heading east, you can find several fine wineries andvineyards that you can visit. There is also a moonshine distillery in town. About a half hour away is an Amish community that has several businesses open to the public, including the Shiloh Bakery and General Store. They are closed on Sunday and Monday. To the northeast, about 45 minutes away, is Stone Mountain. Absolutely fantastic hiking, it is also an old homestead that has been renovated and is open to the public. To the south, there is Rocky Face Park, where there is hiking and rock climbing. Nearby, is Emerald Hollow Mine, where you can go and find, and keep, precious stones you find in the nearby river. There is also a great disk course course, Highland Hills Disc Golf Course, one of the top 25 in the country. There is fun for all ages. Merlefest, the last weekend of April, is a world class Bluegrass festival, is located right in our town. Be sure to look at the activities section below for additional information.

Adin`s river cabin

1 site · Lodging10 acres · Casar, NC

My property consists of a ridge running east to west with the access road running along the south border. the land slopes up to the ridge for about 300 feet, and then down to the river for about 800 feet. The south side of the ridge has a small pond close to the road. The rest is pasture, and an orchard and small vineyard. The north side of the ridge is old growth timber, and shady and cool. The two cabins are along the river. One is perched on a ridge over looking the river and the other is right on the river. The swimming hole is 30 feet from the lower cabin. There is room for a couple campsites along the river also. The south side of the ridge was a cotton farm decades ago, but was covered in timber when I bought it 12 years ago. The north side has been in timber for the known history of the property.

Tiny House in Happy Valley

1 site · Lodging300 acres · Lenoir, NC

I moved here from San Francisco, to simplify my life, and accomplish my dreams. The Tiny house was designed and built by architect, Jesse Plaster. It's a unique cozy loft style design, set back in the woods on our property. It's purposely placed next to a creek, with a nice stone fire ring to really enjoy the outdoors. In the cold months, it's heated by a wood burning stove. Also next to the house are logging roads that allow you to hike the Ripshin Mountains. The Yadkin River is near by, and so is Boone and Blowing Rock. If you like mountain biking, bring your bike to ride Kerr Scott, or Zacks Fork trails. Also, check out the workshops at Pattersonschoolfoundation.org They offer sustainable living classes such as cheese making, mushroom foraging, blacksmithing, soap making, kimchi making, etc... Also ask about our private Yoga sessions. Last but not least, there is a wood burning private sauna that your able to reserve.Come enjoy our Happy Valley! Mi casa es su casa!

The Waldhaus Resort

4 sites · Lodging60 acres · Barnardsville, NC

Waldhaus Resort is a special place surrounded by the Pisgah National Forrest. Pure nature close to a thriving metropolitan area. We offer the Sawmill and the Summit!I have been an engineer, corporate executive and world traveler all my life. Born and raised in Switzerland I speak German, French, English and a little Spanish. My passion is the outdoors, hunting, fishing and cooking . My other calling is to entertain people which share the same passions. That’s why I created the Waldhaus resort.During the past years, the Sawmill has become my favorite place to spend quality time in what I call "Cabin Living" which I love so much. Nearly every day there is a small challenge, nothing comes easy, but all the coziness and comfort is there. The water is supplied by a spring above the mill. Electricity is generated by solar technology and a generator. All refrigeration and cooking appliances are propane; and so is the basic heat (propane again) - and a very old Jotul wood stove will do the rest. I sleep a lot on the day bed in the living room so the Sawmill can be comfortably rented for up to 4 guests. The outhouse is a thing of the past, just recently I installed a compositing toilet besides the bedroom.We also offer The Summit which is a high elevation, 2-story cabin surrounded by national forest which has evolved into an off-grid living and play space located at nearly 3300 feet elevation on a 1/2 acre flat with an incredible view. There are very private old forest service trails leading directly into the Pisgah National Forest.

The Henhouse on BeulahLand Farm

1 site · Lodging5 acres · Vilas, NC

I have lived here at Beulah Land for thirty five years. My husband and I moved here in 1987 to pursue a slower more purposeful form of life with our four young sons and my 97year old Grandma. In the ensuing years, after Grandma passed away, we took care of my Mom for five years. I had always wanted to live on a farm, so over those decades, we raised and cared for flocks of chickens, turkeys, ducks, geese, a milk cow, meat cows, sheep, goats, pigs, bunnies, ferrets, iguanas, lovebirds, cockatiels and just about every other kind of animal you can keep as a pet! We have a lot of wonderful memories of that life, but thirty five years later, things are very different. My ex husband and I are happily divorced and best of friends- he sometimes rents a room in the summer to get away from the heat of the Southern California desert! He runs a hostel in Slab City from September to May and also rents out spaces on Airbnb! You will know him if he’s around by his big white beard. He looks like Santa Claus. He’s a good egg. My farm has about an acre of level land and another acre of hillside. The Henhouse campsite is situated up against the hill where there is a pretty rocky cliff overhang. It is located about twenty five or thirty yards from Brushy Fork Creek which runs the length of my property. It is a shallow creek, not much more than a few feet deep in any spot, but fun for creek walking. I cannot promise you will not see a water snake from time to time but I have never seen a poisonous snake on this property in thirty five years years. When you come across the bridge onto Beulah Land Lane (my driveway) you are on a long concrete drive that runs all the way down to my house which is at the end of the driveway. I have tried to include accurate pictures to depict the location because I don't want anyone to be disappointed- There is no big red barn with a silo- there used to be a barn, but it fell down one winter afternoon with a crash under the weight of a big snow, But that’s another story. The campsite is actually on the spot where the barn used to be. There are no farm animals or crops of anything but flowers. :-) There are no fields of wheat or hay, except across the creek on a five acre strip of land which is between the creek and Highway 421. You might see a tractor over there, ploughing up the field in the spring for hay or field corn. You can hear cars on the highway but at night its pretty quiet. I do provide ear plugs for anyone who needs them! We used to build dams all along the creek to make it sing at night. You are welcome to do the same. There will be no hayrides in the fall. (though I do know an awesome place you can go for one) Now, I live here with a few good folks who share the space with us. It is a serene and quiet spot in a lovely valley. The campsite is built around the former outbuildings which have been repurposed, so it is not in the woods. Depending on the weather, it might be warm in the tent during the day, but the Henhouse is shady and almost always a breeze blowing. We have a two story Guest House between my house and the Henhouse. It has two small apartments in it. Neither one of them are worried about a little noise at the campsite. As a matter of fact they both love to play for my guests from time to time- John builds banjos and plays several instruments! His style is primitive bluegrass and he’s been known to break out the instruments for a jug band so everyone can play along! Sam is an eclectic “crooner” who I believe should have a world stage and also plays several instruments! He works at a nearby winery where he plays music and also is a Somalier. If you let me know ahead of time, they really do try to accommodate coming out and singing a few songs around the bonfire with you. Tips are more than welcome. If you look through the pictures, I hope you can get a good idea of what to expect. If you need something you are more than welcome to come up to the main house. I usually do a walkabout in the morning with my coffee so if you're up, I'll probably check on ya. I hope I have presented a clear and accurate description here of what to expect!Learn more about this land:Back when my four boys were growing up, Beulah Land was a working farm where we home schooled and raised a big garden to feed our four hungry boys. as well as edible flowers and herbs to sell to local restaurants. We had every kind of farm animal we could get our hands on: horses, a milk cow, pigs, chickens, ducks, geese, turkeys, goats, sheep, bunnies and a veritable zoo inside the house! Now the boys are gone and as things in life tend to do, my little farm has evolved. What you will find these days is a serene place of rest on the banks of Brushy Fork Creek just five miles north of Boone, The Henhouse at Beulah Land Farm- GLAMPING at its best! A safe private campsite- you are the only campers! We have two wonderful musicians who live in my little guest house- they often do impromptu concerts for us! A very DIFFERENT vacation experience awaits you at The Henhouse at Beulah Land Farm. As you arrive you will find your own little wonderland at The Henhouse- I live at the other end of the property in a hundred year old farmhouse. Walk through the arbor past your picket fence and survey your sweet little campsite. It is a self contained area set up against a cliffside on Beulah Land Farm with a seventeen by seventeen foot army tent, a private outdoor shower and best of all, your own Henhouse Outdoor Kitchen! The whole campsite is strung with fairy lights which create a charming ambience in the evenings And my guests love coming home to it all lit up after a long day of sightseeing or tubing or playing in the mountains. The Henhouse is literally our eighty year old chicken house- which has been remodeled and repurposed as an open air outdoor kitchen. It is completely outfitted with everything you could possibly need in the way of dishes, pots and pans, utensils and even staples for making PANCAKES on your own camp stove. You are also provided with a large cooler for food . For clean up, you will find a basket of dish towels and a dish rack to use when you finish washing your dishes in the big galvanized tub which sets just a few feet away, under the pump faucet. At night, the Henhouse is well lit with strands of Edison bulbs which cast a rosy glow that is bright enough to play games. You might want to set up the old croquet set and play like they used to back in the nineteen twenties! When I researched the history of my home, I was told that it was a community gathering place. The neighbors used to come down here after church in carriages and the ladies in their long dresses would stroll around the lawn and play croquet. Your tent Is covered with a 20 by 30 foot tarp that allows you to keep the windows open rain or shine. It has a super comfy queensized bed made up with soft cotton sheets and blankets. A second bed can be set up for parties of four. You will appreciate the power strip for recharging your phones and computers and the box fans! Several lamps inside the tent create a nice ambience at night. Being in the valley, there is usually a breeze and even the warmest days almost always end in cool mountain evenings. Fall weather can be chilly- it’s hard to predict because sometimes it can be warm, but there are piles of blankets to keep you warm and cozy! Please take time to check the weather before you come and pack accordingly! For your outdoor showering pleasure, enjoy our Pig Pen shower. Thats right. I said Pig Pen. Back in the days I was homeschooling my four sons, our first pig pens were EPIC FAILS! We would be doing school on the couch and hear “Snort Snort” and there would be our two pigs looking in at us with their feet on the window sill. So, finally, we built a concrete pig pen! Much to the boys disappointment, they never came calling again. At the time we were studying the legends of King Arthur. So we decided to name all the pigs after the knights of the round table. Naturally, we called the pig pen, “Hamelot". Well, like the Henhouse, Hamelot has now been repurposed! Silly Hand painted pigs in the shower enclosure will remind you of Beulah Land’s bygone days. Step out of the shower into your own private fenced in enclosure with it’s little garden of flowers and tomatoes! Help yourself! In the back of camp there’s a private porta potty for your use. Behind the Pig Pen is the old Horse Shed. We built this for our old pony, Buck, to get away from the wind and the snow during one of our iciest winters. And do you know what he did? He went up to the top of the hill and stood there with his head down leaning into the wind!! Eventually he did grow to appreciate his little house, and spent quite a bit of time in the old shed. His bit and bridle still hang there. It now functions as a woodshed to keep your firewood nice and dry. Some other amenities of the Henhouse at Beulah Land include a croquet set, a big bonfire ring and Brushy Fork Creek which runs the entire length of our property- it is a lovely shallow tumbling creek. I have made every effort to create a completely outfitted, serene space for you to find not only an inexpensive SAFE and easy “glamping” vacation in a lovely sustainable environment, but a place of rest and peace. Come to the mountains and find your “quiet” again!.

4Creeks Cabin Co.

2 sites · Lodging40 acres · West Jefferson, NC

It's a must-see-for-yourself experience at On the Rocks geodesic dome at 4Creeks Cabin Co. Just steps off the porch, you'll find a massive rock that you can climb on to overlook the creek and forest below, right next to the fire pit where you can enjoy evening chats and s'mores. You won't be disappointed with the view from the dome. Standing in the window with no deck surrounding the dome, our design simulates floating over the forest below at a height of about 14 feet above the forest floor below. Sitting on the deck or at the fire pit area, you can hear the creek babbling. Take a morning or afternoon walk through the woods; you've got 10 acres to explore freely where you'll find creeks and wooded area and so much beautiful fauna and wildlife. If you'd like, the owner can take you on a guided foraging walk where you can learn about some of the local plants and their uses, and maybe even spot some mushrooms depending on the time of year. At night, you may hear our mountain dogs and coyotes howling. You are truly out in nature here at 4Creeks. You are bound to see a deer or fox while you are here. We are only a 10-minute drive from downtown West Jefferson, 7-minute from the grocery store, 3-minutes from the winery and Christmas tree farm, 30-minutes from Boone, about 35-to 40- to our closest ski slope, 30-minutes or less to Tennessee and Virginia, 15-minutes from Blue Ridge Parkway, 40-minutes from the North Wilkesboro Racetrack, and so much more. We are in the heart of it all. Come and see for yourself! We look forward to hosting you.
