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.

Family Vacation

We enjoyed our stay very much! Great location! We enjoyed the large DVD selection that was offered, due to not being able to stream from our phones. Our teens had a no phone vacation while at the mountain home, which was a nice reset for them. We enjoyed many of the trails that were fairly local. The kids enjoyed fishing and playing in the creek. The owners were very quick to respond to any questions. The property was immaculate inside and out.

Gratefully unplugged

Our stay at Moonshine Bend was a true retreat. The setting was absolutely serene, with the creek nearby providing a soothing soundtrack to our stay. The house itself was wonderfully comfortable, with cozy interiors that made us feel right at home from the moment we arrived. The kitchen was equipped with everything we needed to prepare our meals. One unique aspect of our stay was the extremely limited internet and cell service. Disconnecting was incredibly refreshing. It allowed us to truly unwind and focus on each other and our surroundings without distractions. Evenings were spent around the beautiful outdoor fireplace, where we shared stories and laughter; it was a perfect way to end each day. Overall, our stay was exactly what we needed—a peaceful getaway in a comfortable, natural setting. We left feeling rejuvenated and grateful for the opportunity to experience such a special place.

Slice of heaven

This was the perfect mountain getaway for our family. The house was beautiful and clean. I enjoyed being outside on the swings and in the hammock while the kids played in the creek and fished. We enjoyed several hikes nearby and spent time exploring in both Boone and Blowing Rock. We were a little nervous the first time driving down the road to get to the house, but it really wasn’t bad and we got used to the drive quickly. Renee and Drew described it well and there were no surprises. The house had all that we needed and then some. It is obviously well taken care of! We hope to stay again soon.

Breathtaking

This place was better than I expected. The big creek beside the house was a big hit we fished and the little ones explored and swam. The house was decorated in a farm style and had board games yard games, the bedrooms were comfy. The owners are very easy to talk to if you have any questions and respond right away. We will definitely be back.

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!

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.

Great Family Time in the Mountains

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Moonshine Bend and all that the property has to offer. We spent the majority of our time there doing things outside, from spending a bunch of time exploring the creek to playing games in the yard, enjoying our meals and coffee sitting on the porch and roaring fires each night. The outdoor setting is ideal and so relaxing, just hearing the running water in the creek no matter where you are sitting. Our kids loved the creek so much it was hard to get them out of it. We loved seeing them explore it and have so much fun just being kids. The house is clean and comfortable and had everything we needed to prepare our meals and enjoy our stay. We made great memories and hope to return again.

Loved it!

This house was absolutely beautiful! Very clean, every kitchen item you could think of, tons of DVDs and an amazing location. The creek had several swimming holes deep enough to really get all the way in. We even brought floats and did some fishing. The only downside was that we were notified the guest toilet upstairs was not working the day before our stay. Not knowing the full layout, we figured it wasn't a big deal to have 2 toilets instead of three especially since it was just 3 of us most of the time. It did turn out to be a bit inconvenient as it turned out that it meant going down steep stairs with poor lighting for our child (who would be scared to do so in an unfamiliar place) or for my 65 year old father in law. No one came to fix it while we were there, I assume the owners felt is was more of an inconvenience to have the plumber there with us than to be down to 2 toilets.

The stray rooster was the best part!

This was my family’s second year staying at Moonshine Bend, and thanks to property upgrades and a stray rooster, we loved it even more this time! I’m not sure how long the stray rooster will be around, but the kids immediately christened him “Bugs” and thoroughly enjoyed simply watching him do chicken things. The pristine creek continues to be our favorite feature of the property and it’s where we spent the majority of our time. I truly hope we’re able to return next year.

Relaxing by the Elk Creek

We enjoyed very much our stay. The house is warm and engaging and very comfortable . The kitchen is fully equipped and the DVD collection is amazing. Renee and Drew, the owners, were very responsive to our questions. The Elk Creek runs by the side and there is a wonderful elephant bamboo groove at its bank. We sat by its side to read and there is a nice spot deep enough for a nice and refreshing bath. All very quiet. We hiked the Moonshine trail everyday. Canela enjoyed the adventure. The trail is a few yards away from the property. We’ll be back.

About the host

Hosted by Renee and Drew Royall

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!
