space is the perfect getaway for anyone looking to relax and breathe in better days. Come join us and create unforgettable memories!
Plans
We are building an educational homestead with farm stays here in rural SW Virginia to include dining experiences and food preservation classes. Our 35 acre farm is located on a mountainside with
beautiful
views of the Clinch Mountain. Our location is rural and peaceful with abundant wildlife. Deer, Racoons, Opossums, Bobcats, Bear, Fox, Groundhogs, and Turkey have been spotted on the property. We are a great spot for bird watching as well!
Camp Grassland:
Two of our prepped campsites
are on a flattened area of the hillside field with access to a fire pit, log bench, and porta-potty. This location is in direct sun with beautiful views and easy access from the road. Parking at the top of the field is recommended unless you have a 4WD vehicle.
Cabin Breazy:
Situated at one of the highest points on the property, Cabin Breazy is our cozy, off-grid, dry A-frame cabin surrounded by mountain views.
Farmhouse Holler:
2nd Campsite is located next to our old farmhouse on a lower section of the property. Its near the natural spring and is shaded.

Reaching the porta-potty would require an extensive uphill hike or driving around to the other entrance. To reach this campsite, the driveway could be considered
rough terrain so drive slowly. Lowered vehicles or those with little ground clearance are not recommended.

campsite has a max
occupancy of 2 people. If you need space for more campers, please reach out to us about how many are in your party.

a 15 minute hike from the road. You can choose the mildly challenging way up or take the old roadway for a smoother walk.

ReKindle Camp + Cabins is a welcoming space to rest, retreat, and re-connect. Have a relaxing, meandering stay on the property, or use the space as your base camp for adventures in nearby towns and destinations like Boone, Blowing Rock, Lansing, and Grayson Highlands State Park.
2 acres may not seem like much, but to us, it is an abundance of land to utilize and to share with our guests. You can lounge with the old pines or fruit trees, set up your Eno and take a nap, hang by the community fire pit (we supply wood), grill food over the fire or on the charcoal grill, or stargaze and take in the cool mountain air.
In the summer there may be fruit on the trees (blueberry, cherry, apples and pears in early fall). We are working on edible gardens and this will be in progress during your stay. If there's anything available, we welcome you to harvest and enjoy a bit!
There is a walking path through the woods with spots to hang your hammock.
One of your hosts is a professional chef, and handcrafted tasty food is one of our many passions. Just let us know if you'd like any breakfast. We can provide simple yet delicious options such as amazing blueberry muffins, eggs, bacon, sourdough pancakes, etc! Other meals are possible as well, just let us know if we can. help.

The area offers a variety of activities to keep you busy. If antiquing is a passion, this stretch of Hwy 421 is just the place to find great deals and amazing “picks,” or you can stroll through the shops and small boutiques in downtown Boone and Blowing Rock. Enjoy golf? The farm is only 10 minutes from Red Tail Golf Course!
Winter tourists can enjoy skiing and snowboarding in the area, as well as snow shoeing, cross country skiing, and sledding right on our property.

The description really can't do this place justice; you just have to enjoy it for yourself. The view obviously is unbelievable and is the star of the show. But Cabin Breezy is wonderful on it's own. You can tell Jessica put so much love and attention to detail in every inch of the mini but mighty A frame. We also weren't expecting to have an actual bathroom and shower to use (not just port-a-potties). So that was a major perk. My fiancé, our dog, and I came up for a little 2 night getaway for my birthday. Work has been WAY more stressful than usual lately for both of us. Staying on this land was cathartic in so many ways and we return home feeling completely renewed. Thank you for sharing your slice of heaven with the rest of us! Cheers to your future goals for the property(:

We loved our stay at Blue Bear Mountain. The drive up from Boone is forested, but as soon as you enter the campground, the view opens up and you can see the NC sky: great for seeing the stars on a dark night!
We stayed in the cabin, which was cozy and had a toilet separate from the campground bathrooms (shower was still in the shared campground structure). There is a small porch on the side for enjoying a quiet relaxing morning sunrise.
Mike is a very friendly host and was very responsive to any questions we had. We already saved Blue Bear Mountain as a campground we would book again on another trip up to Boone.

My Family of three stayed in a small cabin right by Elk Creek. We had breakfast on a little balcony overlooking the creek. Couldn’t have asked for a better experience.
