Tucked into 84 private acres of rolling pasture, hardwood forest, and bold creeks, our handcrafted Treehouse Cabin offers a story-book escape in Ashe County, North Carolina. We recently became the stewards of this mountain haven and still welcome guests to the original Farmhouse cabin (VRBO #376235, six years of five-star reviews). The Treehouse perches on its own ridge, giving you an entirely different perspective on the same magical property.
The cabin is a 24-by-24-foot post-and-beam studio built with pine milled on site and treasures reclaimed from antique barns and salvage shops. Three stained-glass panels trace the colors of a Blue Ridge sunset, while a full wall of floor-to-ceiling windows pulls the forest right inside. Original art and handmade touches abound: an apple-tree-stump vanity, a vintage claw-foot tub perfectly placed beside a picture window for twilight soaks, and a wood stove that glows on cool mountain nights. Reliable Wi-Fi, a well-equipped kitchenette, and hotel-quality linens ensure comfort without sacrificing the off-grid feel.
Life on the farm is relaxed and hands-on. Stroll the pastures to greet the chickens, then collect fresh eggs each morning from the Gypsy Chick Inn, our cheerful gypsy-wagon coop. Wander miles of marked trails through meadows and along the creek, lounge in a hammock next to the 4 ponds beneath towering poplars.
Do not miss the 13-acre summit meadow at the very top of the property. A short hikeâor easy driveâleads to a panoramic perch with breathtaking views of Mt. Jefferson, Mt. Rogers, and rolling waves of Blue Ridge peaks. Linger at the hilltop firepit for sunset or stargazing; guests say it is the highlight of their stay.
A centerpiece of the farm is our stunning barn, rebuilt in 2013 after a tragic fire. Inside you will find Steve Willinghamâs large-scale mountain artwork displayed in a light-filled studio. The barn also doubles as an event venue for weddings, family reunions, and celebrations, with rental rates scaled to guest count and a convenient restroom added in 2021. Even if you are not planning an event, we invite Treehouse guests to drop by and enjoy the art.
Adventure waits beyond the gate: paddle or tube the New River five minutes away, fish Ashe County Wildlife Club lake two miles down the road, ride gentle mounts with Hidden Pastures ten minutes out, tee off at Mountain Aire or Jefferson Landing within fifteen minutes, or browse West Jeffersonâs art galleries, craft breweries, and farmers marketâalso fifteen minutes from the farm.
The Treehouse sleeps four comfortably in two queen beds and includes one full bathroom with a sunset view, parking for two vehicles, and a pack-and-play on request. Well-behaved pets are welcome for a small fee.
Traveling with friends or family? Rent both cabins to enjoy the entire farm in total privacy.
We live on the property and greet every guest with fresh flowers, trail maps, and insider tips for the best restaurants, activities, and mountain hikes. Whether you are sipping coffee among the treetops, gathering around the hilltop firepit, admiring art in the barn, or dozing to the crackle of the wood stove, Little Peak Creek Farm promises memories that linger long after you leave. Reserve your stay and discover why guests say the Treehouse feels like pure mountain magic.
