Bernie and Sondra moved to Boone from the hot flatlands of the Eastern NC in 1973. They fell in love with the beauty of the mountains, the temperate weather, the friendly people and the charm of what was then a small University town. Quickly, they decided they'd never leave and purchased this property soon after. They built the house and ponds over the next few years and have loved sharing the natural serenity of their homeplace with friends, family and neighbors ever since.   Learn more about this land: Enjoy a peaceful getaway on our 10-acre property situated in a quiet rural neighborhood. Our home and land are beautifully nestled at the base of two mountains and surrounded by gracefully swaying tall trees. Pitch your tents by one of our two ponds stocked with bass and brim. Guests are welcome to fish! (Please bring your own rods and bait) Designated fire rings, a picnic table, a tree swing, and canoes are available for use. A small trickling stream flows through the woods which is fun for children to explore. Toilet, shower, and potable water are within short walking distance inside the Twin Oaks shop building. Our Twin Oaks property is conveniently located within 10 minutes by car to prime spots for hiking, biking, tubing/kayaking. Other adventures including shopping, dining, local breweries, and live music can be found in nearby Boone or Blowing Rock. - 3 miles to Elk Knob State Park  - 5 miles to Todd and the New River for tubing and canoeing.  - 7 miles to Boone  - 15 miles to Blowing Rock

We loved camping at Sondra and Bernie's! They were so sweet and friendly and their land was gorgeous and peaceful! The bathroom was an added bonus. We can't wait to go back again.

Tent camping in the valley was nice because most of the wind goes over your site. Nice pond by showers

A must stay!
Sondra & Bernie were the couple I hope to be someday. They were warm, welcoming, and generous! They have a canoe for you to use on their pond. Additionally, they have some fishing poles if you wish to do some bass fishing. If you’re lucky, Bernie will show you his workshop. It’s breathtaking! I will be back.

We enjoyed tent camping on Sondra and Bernie’s land. The bathroom in the nearby workshop was very convenient and useful. The camping space had nice clean flat ground to set out tent up on and the picnic table and fire pit were useful additions to the space. One note that we didn’t love was the black racist figurine on the windowsill above the toilet in the bathroom. I understand that Bernie is an antique restorer and collects antique memorabilia but this is not appropriate to own much less put on display for visitors to see.

We enjoyed our short stay. The property was beautiful. They were so kind and generous. They offered supplies which was above what we expected. Again, we would highly recommend their place.
