Fairytale Barn: 2/1 Hot Tub & Trout & Petting Zoo?

Have the mountain experience you just have to show on social media!

And no Fairytale mountain experience is perfect without your own petting zoo next door! The goats are ready, the bunnies are multiplying, ducklings are hatching, maybe some giant rabbits, some horses and alpacas - who knows what Connie has up her sleeve at the farm!

Our full build out of our uber unique 100 year old barn is finished well over budget, it turned out AWESOME! "A Fairytale" experience will take you back to yesteryear and the owners spared no expense in making your dream experience a reality!

Outside "Fairytale" you will find 20+ acres, manicured hiking trails, plenty of swings, two ponds, 1000+ feet of trout-stocked river frontage, perfect for fishing, and a lot of surprises around every corner, from sitting areas, PRIVATE HOT TUB, PRIVATE FIRE PIT, rock sculptures, a garden, a farm, HUGE mountain views with benches tucked along the way for the weary to rest! And why not a trampoline, zip-lines and a 4 season slip n slide?!?

Located in Sugar Grove NC, not 20 minutes to downtown Boone, Valle Crucis or Banner Elk, your location is superb to all the High Country has to offer and only 5 minutes to the Watauga River should you choose not to fish on the state stocked trout stream 50 feet from your front door and 5 minutes to horseback riding (Dutch Creek Trails) and Trash Can Falls (local swimming hole). About 30 minutes to all the major ski resorts, about 45 minutes to Grandfather Mountain and Linville Falls.

WARNING: We find guests tend to bunker in and simply enjoy their hideaway and especially the land so pay for your local excursions in advance to make yourselves leave the property for a few hours!

With two bedrooms, one bathroom (with tub and shower) and a full kitchen, you have everything you need for a one night rental, a weekend stay or a full week!

Our other rentals are VRBO# 294942, located 2 miles away with its own private petting (it's a "Top 10 VRBO listing in Boone" and two cabins on property, VRBO# 297462 and 1491834 (unit above Fairytale). We also have an Airstream and a second barn completed on property now too!

Heat, A/C, tub, upscale finishings and furnishings, this property is ready for your mountain experience.

This is the downstairs unit. The upstairs is now a rental as well, but has separate entrance sides, interior locks on both sides, decks on opposite sides, each with its own hot tub and grill, and 16" beams separating the units to try to keep noise at bay. The upstairs sleeps 2 (plus a pull-out couch), so no large groups allowed to deter from your privacy and we now only allow upstairs to have one dog under 25# :) - See Upstairs: VRBO #1491834

I loved the barn and its surroundings. My only complaint is it was difficult to reach the owner via phone prior to check in. Thankfully I did reach them upon arrival to get the code to enter.

This is an awesome property
It’s just like all of the other reviewers posted, but we’d like to add a couple more things. Alpacas were very friendly. Goats and bunnies were domesticated and would cuddle with us when we gave them food. Saw chickens, pheasants and a peacock - first time our kids saw one in real life. The trail in the woods is fantastic, every 100 yards you would see something that the owners made, a teepee, benches, rocking chairs, a zip line, a hammock, kids playground toys and much more. The stay was exactly like it was described, hot tub was working and the place was well cleaned. We fished in the stream, saw ducks and donkeys and made a fire. Also bought eggs - $3/dozen on an honor system. Oh, we also used the trampoline, the over the river swing and had a corn hole competition. Beautiful stay, would recommend for families with kids of all ages. You can tell that the owners put a ton of effort into this property. Thank you!!

Excellent time
We had a great time staying here. It is true what they say about not going out once you get there. There are many things to do on the property. My family enjoyed staying here and will book again.

Had a great time!
We had a wonderful stay at the farm. The renovated barn where we stayed was beautiful and had everything we needed. Fully stocked kitchen. The back patio with hot tub overlooking pasture with horses and llamas was so peaceful. The farm animals were so friendly and loved attention and petting. Zip line, water slide, and relaxing on tubes in creek kept my granddaughter busy. Loved every minute!

Peaceful time outdoors
Our time here was absolutely magical. Our kids loved the slide, goats, bunnies, trampoline, and swings. We only went into town for food because the property had plenty of entertainment. The owner was extremely friendly. We will definitely be back!

Fun around every corner
My family enjoyed staying at this property. The owners have done such a beautiful job adding little features which encourage families to be outside and explore. We really had no need to leave the property and explore the surrounding area because there was so much to keep us entertained. The owners were extremely responsive to our questions. We hope to get back there soon. I would recommend if you are planning to book Fairytale that you also book the unit on the top floor of the barn and invite friends or family to enjoy this property with you. There was a family who booked the upstairs unit and overlapped part of our stay and the sound of people walking above is easily heard in the lower unit. Fortunately, the guests in the upper unit weren't up too late and it wasn't a nuisance.

Completely Unique
We loved our stay!! Connie and Enrique have done such a wonderful job! All sorts of creative and whimsical additions to the property. Our 4 year old loved all the animals especially! There was a small water/plumbing leak causing a bad smell in one of the rooms (which was going to be used by our toddler), so that made it pretty much unusable during our stay but Connie responded promptly and I'm sure they will have it fixed up very soon. Other than that issue, it was absolutely amazing and charming accomodations and scenery!! 😊
