As of 2024, our 1st Tiny House is on site for guests to book (see aerial view pics to understand where each is situated). The tiny house (called Sommer Haus in our listing profile) is tucked far up in the woods at the back of the property and out of view of the farmhouse. The tiny house will be booked separately as a unique vacation rental, and so at times the 10 acres will be shared by other guests (meaning Stargazer will still have full private use of most of the park we have created, but the tiny house will share the wooded area at the top, and will have a well-marked designated area on the creek at the far right property boundary, but out of sight). ***IF THIS IS A CONCERN AND YOU PREFER COMPLETE PRIVACY, THEN FEEL FREE TO CHECK THE TINY HOUSE CALENDAR BEFORE YOU BOOK STARGAZER, BUT WE CANNOT GUARANTEE NO ONE WILL BOOK BEFORE YOU COME*** The property is just 2 miles from the Blue Ridge Parkway and 20-25 miles from West Jefferson and Boone, 40 minutes from Blowing Rock Guest access Hot tub, multiple fire pits, charcoal grill, outdoor grill pit, stream, pond, 10.5 acres to roam, 40in flat screen TV, and fiber optic wifi, the 10 basket disc golf course, outdoor games of cornhole/ badminton/ ladder ball toss, are all for use.
