About this property

Immaculate Home On Pristine Stocked Trout Stream

The Experience: Moonshine Bend is the perfect place to UNPLUG from the daily grind, relax, & breathe the fresh mountain air. A retreat for anglers, bird watchers, animal lovers, and plant enthusiasts. Here, you can hear the creek from every corner of the 2.5-acre property. The wildlife is flourishing, the farmhouse is comfortable and the grounds provide a haven for you and nature, alike. Come stay at Moonshine Bend to enjoy a one-of-a-kind experience with Mother Nature.

What a way, to get away! This beautiful, secluded, and very well-appointed country farmhouse feels like it’s miles from anywhere, when in reality… it’s 8 miles to the Blue Ridge Parkway, approximately 20 minutes to Boone, 30 minutes to Blowing Rock, and just a short drive to West Jefferson or Wilkesboro.

Surrounded by the Blue Ridge Mountains, this charming farmhouse has over 1000 linear feet of a pristine, state-stocked trout stream, known as Elk Creek, running through the pristine 2.5 acres.

Endless opportunities await you on the farm. Casting your line for that trophy trout, splashing in the swimming holes, hiking, cycling, playing croquet or horseshoes, even catching fireflies at dusk on a summer’s eve.

When you’re ready to venture away from the farm, you’re at the foot of the High Country. To your left, Boone, Blowing Rock, & Banner Elk. To your right, is the charming town of West Jefferson & Wilkesboro. Antiquing, Tweetsie Railroad, ski resorts, horseback riding, Grandfather Mountain, Linville Caverns, the original Mast General Store of Valle Crucis, a Tanger Outlet Mall, and Moses Cone Estate are all within a short drive.

When all the activities have worn you out, there’s nothing better than rocking away the time on the porch’s rockers, or perhaps a nap in the hammock by the creek would soothe your soul. This is truly a place to drop out of the hustle & bustle and tune in to nature. Where deep breaths of fresh mountain air clear your mind and relax your body. Come feel this relaxation for yourself!

The Home: Come home to the Farmhouse where you will enjoy three true bedrooms (sleeps six), and 2.5 baths all furnished with high-quality linens. NOTE: ALL BEDROOMS ARE UPSTAIRS.

Cook your favorite meals in the very well-equipped kitchen or outside on the grill.

Enjoy the many amenities such as a cast-iron stove in the family room (turned off in the summer months), whole-house water filtration system, zoned air conditioning and heating, wireless internet, 2 DVD players for the televisions, with approximately 200+ DVDs, games, and puzzles.

Ample parking is provided with easy access. And safety is a priority with new smoke alarms and carbon monoxide detectors throughout the house.

Perfect creek side getaway!
First I would like to compliment our Hosts! They are warm, welcoming and very responsive. And their house is lovely and cozy. It has great amenities (never been in a VRBO with such a well equipped kitchen), and the location was fabulous for us and our fur baby. If you enjoy bird watching, it is amazing - we most enjoyed the belted king fisher who amused us flying up and down the creek each day. Between that, the fishing, the pup swimming in the creek and relaxation - we couldn’t ask for anything more. We had such an enjoyable stay - thank you so much!

Truly a Slice of Heaven
This place was awesome! My family and dog absolutely loved it. They decorated the house for Christmas which made us feel right at home. It had everything you need to escape the world for awhile. The kitchen is fully stocked anything you could think of and any info you needed to know was explained perfectly. Having a roaring creek just a few steps away with hammocks, fire-pits, horse shoes, etc. made this the slice of heaven we were looking for this Christmas. I highly recommend!

Nov fly fishing
Very nice cottage right on Elk Creek. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay even though the fish weren’t cooperating. Best part: sitting on the patio by the fire in the evenings playing guitar, having a cocktail and a cigar.

Wonderful property
We really enjoyed our stay! It was so peaceful listening to the water and looking at it from the deck. The property was very clean and exceeded our expectations. There were lots of great movies to watch. The fire chimney and fire pit were really great to use each night. The outdoor decks were very nice. The scenery and mountains near by were outstanding. We will definitely be back!

We both grew up in NC... We searched the High Country for a year before finding this unique and priceless piece of land. We consider it to be our "Devine Intervention!" A place to come and slow down, completely unwind & let the worries of everyday life, go!

Why they chose this property

In today's 24/7 plugged-in lifestyle... we all need a place to UNPLUG and decompress, if only for a couple of days. This is the spot!

Completely private, the home sits on the banks of Elk Creek, a pristine state-stock trout stream. This home is on 2.5 acres of beautiful flat land, surrounded by the Blue Ridge Mountains. Centrally located to Boone, Blowing Rock, West Jefferson, and the famous Blue Ridge Parkway... this home provides a great base camp to explore the surrounding area OR simply check in, and enjoy the land and Elk Creek.

What makes this property unique

Secluded, there are no other homes in sight.

Breathtaking, the lay of the land & the position of the house on the creek is incredible.

Relaxing, rocking on the wrap-around porch, napping in the hammock, or walking along the creek bank... You will feel yourself slow down and find yourself, enjoying the moment.

Convenient, to everything the Highlands has to offer. 8 miles to the famous Blue Ridge Parkway, 20 minutes to Boone, and about half an hour to Blowing Rock and West Jefferson.

Fishing, a dream any angler can wake up to!

The music of Mother Nature is awesome. You can hear and see Elk Creek from every room in the home.

Our home, or as we call it, "the Farm"... is perfectly furnished and comfortable. "The Farm" will embrace you & your family! It will make you so happy, you'll be sad to leave.

Moonshine Bend is truly a little Peace of Heaven on Earth!
