Kevin is a Star Host
Star Hosts are highly rated, responsive, and committed to providing incredible experiences.
Our pods (arched cabins) are newly constructed tiny homes, well situated for both spectacular views as well as romantic privacy. Each home has an arched cabin style, cozy, yet well-appointed with a bedroom (queen bed), full bathroom, full kitchenette and living area with sofa and Roku TV. Homes are located close enough to enjoy a campfire with neighbors, but separated enough to enjoy that special romantic evening on your own large deck with spectacular views, or late at night enjoying the stars above. Each cabin has its very own fire pit. All cabins are outfitted with an outdoor hottub. Property is over 60 acres of onsite hiking trails, or find your special spot to sit on a bench and enjoy the view. We are just up the road from the Toe River. The famous Appalachian Trail is just minutes away, as are the Gem mines that made Mitchell County famous. Our property is historic and once a famous location for moonshine production, detailed in the book "Red Hill" available on Amazon. Or Google the "Bakersville Riots". Truly a place to enjoy hiking, or just relaxing on the beautiful large decks.

Cozy Comfy Cabin (tiny house)
All I can say is AMAZING AMAZING AMAZING. Kevin and his wife were wonderful hosts and if you get a chance to have a conversation with Kevin, his life has been filled with some pretty crazy stories. He has seen a lot and done a lot and he beams when he talks about his kids. The views from the tiny house are spectacular and the hot tub plus bonfire combo you can’t miss out on. Very private and lots of trail to hike on. Highly recommend this place

This was a much needed unplug getaway for us and we werent disappointed. The cute barnstyle pod was clean, well equipped and perfect for us and our two pups. The area is all mountains and we managed to get a few nice walks and hikes in. We had the pleasure of meeting our host Kevin who was friendly accomodating and made sure we had everything we needed. Dont miss a trip out to see this property he has 5 barn style pods just this one.

Luxury in the woods!
This spot is a true gem! Kevin and his family have thought of everything for a comfortable stay in the mountains. The location feels very remote, but not too far to drive into a nearby town for a meal or to grab some essentials. We absolutely loved “green” and the views are the best! Thank you for a well appointed and clean spot for us and our pup to unwind for a couple of nights! Looking forward to our return soon!

10/10 would recommend
My wife, 6 month old daughter, and I stayed in one of Kevin’s cabins for 6 days. I don’t believe there’s another stay around the area where you can experience relaxation and privacy on this level. Do not be mistaken, your cabin will be secluded in the mountains around elev 2500’. My wife and I were over prepared as far as supplies, food etc. Another plus for us was the convenient location of the cabin. Everything you’d want to hike around 1 hour or less. The trail Kevin has created on site was a bit overgrown but we took a more friendly walk to the top of the property. Very novice compared to the other hikes we did during the trip but pretty cool none the less. We even saw a pretty large white tail Buck when we got to the top! Keep in mind that there are a few general store ‘mom and pop’ shops within the area. One dollar store approximately 15 mins away. But as far as big box pharmacies and stores like Walmart it is not a little drive down the street. Lots of curling roads that will have some city drivers sketched out. The hot tub stayed warm and it was so enjoyable after a long day of hiking to look up at the stars and soak. The last thing I will say is Kevin was a gracious host. Our first night there he briefly came to make sure my wife and I were settling in nicely. He even brought us a few pieces of firewood and firestarters. This came quite handy because I cooked all our meals over the fire pit which was equipped with a grate. I really didn’t want to leave!
