Mountain and garden views

Soak up the views during your stay.
On a mountain by a river in a true "holler". This 1890's tobacco farm features our Root Cellar Tiny House, perfect for 2-4 people. The Toe River is a short walk from your covered front porch! Stay has full over full Bunk Bed, Wifi, AC/heater, tiny fridge, small coffee maker, one car parking in front for easy access. Includes toilet & sink, outdoor heated shower, outdoor fire pit & kitchen for cooking. Space includes a 2-person tent site. Great place to see the stars and meteor showers.

The space
The Root Cellar Tiny House is sitting above Whitson Branch, surrounded by the Blue Ridge Mountains. It is a little over 100 yards to the Toe River and one of the area's last remaining walking wood suspension bridges.

This is the quiet space that we want to share with you. Our slice of heaven. Please keep that in mind and respect it. Throw trash away, don't leave out food or trash, or you might wake to a big bear treat! Slow down when driving into the holler! The tiny house is on the road but the road is not heavily traveled.

Help us help our environment! The toilets and outdoor showers have been carefully planned out to be environmentally conscious, with special consideration to our creeks that drain into the Toe River. The "outhouse/camp" toilet has instructions, so please read it and also has a foot pump hand cleaning sink beside it. The shower is an instant hot water shower heated by propane.

WINTER MONTHS UPDATE:
The shower is an OUTDOOR instant hot shower under the stars. The shower is right behind the tiny house for easy quick access. On below-freezing days, we must drain the outdoor shower and unhook it after use to keep it from freezing and busting the shower box. We ask guests to please let us know when the shower is used during the winter months. You can text or call us or let us know if we cross paths as we are usually on site.

Drinking water: Spring-filtered water for drinking is in the outdoor kitchen sink. If you have concerns about our spring water please bring bottled water. The foot pump sink in the bathroom does not have potable water in it.

Guest access
Guests' space is a tiny house with a covered porch, attached bathroom, shower, covered outdoor kitchen, and one 2-person tent site. The tent site is best used April-October unless you have proper winter camping equipment. You must provide your tent.

Looking for adventure...look no further it is right outside your door, literally. Use your $20 adventure credit onsite with NCOA. Must be booked in advance! Tours include kayaking, whitewater, tubing, rock climbing, waterfall tours, and more. A few of the river activities end or begin a short walk from the Root Cellar House.

*Linens for bedding are provided, but we ask that you please bring your bath towels and use biodegradable soaps like Bronners Soap (available for purchase at the Adventure Outpost on-site).

*rooms are cleaned every three days unless someone requests otherwise for an additional charge.

*Please drive slow as we have a hound dog and cats that run around as do some neighbors. Deer are everywhere, drive carefully. It is super curvy and steep with no guard rails. RVs and campers can not get down our road or through the one-car train tunnel to the river!!! No turnaround.

* Sorry, farm stay, no pets allowed. We have free-range birds.
