We love couples, solo adventurers, & furry friends who want one level beyond tent camping.The Eco-Cabin is a rustic, 2-story hand built cabin in town. You'll enjoy the entire cabin, firepit, firewood, swing chairs, swing bed, king size bed, linens, and a bathhouse with private toilet, sink and shower. We do allow pets but there is a 15$ pet fee per pet which is billed separately. There is parking and roaming rights to the surrounding 23.8 acres. We are convenient to the NC Zoo and Seagrove! What makes the Eco-Cabin unique is it being off grid and in the middle of a forest but also the convenience of being within walking distance to town. The amazing sleep you will find by being unplugged and surrounded by a forest and freshly hewn timber as you slumber is unparalleled; nestled in clean linens in your King Size Bed on the second floor. Downstairs you will find a single bed, wash sink accompanied by bottled water, washcloths and towels to freshen up as needed. A desk and dining table can host many games and meals or pleasant solitude. And don't be afraid to be rocked to sleep in the single swing bed downstairs. Please keep in mind there is no heat or AC! We do not claim to be secluded by any means, and our home sits behind the cabin about 250 feet. You will hear typical city noises from time to time. Off Grid does not equate to being in the middle of nowhere necessarily. We are within walking distance to town but the 23.8 acres is partly in the city, so you may hear traffic, a train or an ambulance from time to time. Also, please do not count on the solar to charge your devices, run fans or heaters. This truly is an experience similar to camping. You will have full access to the cabin and land for hiking or mountain biking. Please remember there is not running water or electricity besides the solar power to the cabin, the bathhouse and propane to heat water for a modest yet refreshing shower for our guests. There are exterior solar powered security lights and a streetlight at the far front of the property near the main house. Also, the moon has proven to be quite useful in lighting the way. The solar powers 1 hanging light downstairs and a hanging light upstairs. It has lasted for over 4 hours during our work nights but we are unsure of its maximum capacity which does change with the sun. The solar will not charge phones or run fans or space heaters. We love hosting guests but want to be mindful of your privacy. All of our guests are welcome to knock on the door of the main house, which does sit about 250 feet behind the cabin and sit for a spell, visit or ask questions. After a while we may be loading firewood up in your arms or a garden rake and throw you into some work, but the choice is yours.:^) What makes our neighborhood so unique is the amount of land we own in the middle of a city! We are within walking distance of the grocery store, library, bakeries and city center which is host to several great eateries and a community park! Summer months are host to concerts at the park and family movie nights at Bicentennial Park which is only a 1.5 mile walk or bike. Within a 15 minute drive or 9 miles is the NC Zoo. Also, the pottery capital of the USA, Seagrove, NC is a 20 minute drive or 17 miles! Parking is simple; right up to your cabin. We have a growing access to Uber, Lyft and the city is growing to be more walk-able and bike-able. We are getting there!!!! We do allow pets but we do add a 15.00 dollar general pet fee,per pet, per reservation(not per day) if you are bringing yours. Please let us know if you are bringing your pet. Also, our base fee includes two guests. If your plans change and you need to bring an additional guest please message us to let us know. If you have not let us know you are bringing extra guests and show up with extra guests you will be asked to leave and not refunded. Any child over the age of 2 is considered an additional guest. We love children, have raised three of our own and traveled extensively with them. The cabin is not the most ideal environment for a new walker or any unsupervised child. Please consider this before booking.
