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, high speed 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.

Great home and trip within a short drive to several sites
We stayed 3 days and 4 nights traveling from Florida. The property is beautiful and located within a 20-30 minute drive to West Jefferson, Boone and Sugar Mountain. We had a day of skiing and a few others to relax and tour the local towns. When outside the constant sound of the river was very relaxing.

Annual trip
This is an annual get-away location for me and two of my friends. Its a great location to unplug for the daily activities. The creek is picturesque and the sound serves as a great way to block out thoughts. The house is always clean and you wont need to leave the property.

Our second visit
This is the second year in a row we’ve come here and we still love it! The swimming hole is perfect. The location near Boone, Wilkesboro, and West Jefferson is perfect. We rented a pontoon boat at W Kerr Lake Reservoir one afternoon. The house had everything we needed and they’ve even upgraded the internet since the previous year, which isn’t necessary but was nice. This time we brought our dogs and appreciated the gates on the back porch.

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.

Beautiful setting for a very nice house
The setting right next to the stream is breathtaking. We saw an eagle once and kingfishers and other birds regularly. Our stream was filled with trout. Our one disappointment was that the internet access was very limited. This apparently will be changed next month when they are scheduled to get fiber optics. We would stay here again.

No other place we’d rather be!
We just returned home from our 3rd visit to Moonshine Bend, and each year it only gets better. We spend most of our time in the creek, where we watch stoneflies, mayflies, salamanders, crayfish, trout, and a myriad of other pollution-sensitive critters that you’ll only find in clean, clear waters like Elk Creek. Our 3 daughters are the ages where you typically “lose” your kids to smartphones or other interests, but they enjoy our time together at Moonshine Bend and have never lost their love for playing in the creek. I absolutely love this gorgeous spot among the mountains,

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.

About the host

Hosted by Renee and Drew Royall

Host profile image
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!
