If you’re ready to explore, you’re ideally situated at the entrance of the High Country. Discover the charm of Boone, Blowing Rock, and Banner Elk, or enjoy the quaint shops and restaurants in West Jefferson and Wilkesboro. The area boasts a wealth of attractions, including antiquing, the Tweetsie Railroad, ski resorts, and beautiful sites like Grandfather Mountain and Linville Caverns—all just a short drive away.

Recharge in Comfort
After a day filled with adventure, unwind on the porch in a rocking chair or relax in the peaceful hammock by the creek.

We provide ample parking and prioritize your safety by installing new smoke alarms and carbon monoxide detectors throughout the home.

Due to the Premises’ rural, remote location, the exterior of the home has security cameras and a video doorbell at the following locations: driveway/sidewalk, front/back doors. No cameras are located inside the Premises. Cameras are deactivated following Tenant’s check-in and remain off for the duration of Tenant’s stay. Landlord reserves the right to periodically and temporarily activate cameras during the stay to verify compliance with the terms of this Agreement, including occupancy limits and house rules. Cameras are not monitored in real time for guest safety and should not be relied upon by Tenant for personal security or the security of Tenant’s belongings.

No audio recording function is enabled on any camera, except the front door video doorbell. Consistent with Vrbo’s policy, the video doorbell’s audio function remains active to assist guests as needed — for example, lockouts, to communicate with Landlord or verify deliveries and visitors.

Please Note: Accessing the home and bedrooms requires climbing stairs.

Beautiful property, very clean and comfortable. The kitchen was very well stocked. We had a 3.5 year old with us so we cooked in every night. My grandson had a great time in the creek. This home was just what we wanted for this event.

This was our second stay at Moonshine Bend, and it was just as special as the first. Five adults fit very comfortably, and the house is thoughtfully stocked with everything you need from plenty of towels to comfortable outdoor seating. The real highlight, though, is the creek just steps from the house. We spent most of our time splashing around in the water, and it was such a treat to have it right outside the door. Bring your friends, river shoes, and a sense of adventure as this place won’t disappoint. We swam, laughed, skipped rocks, and made wonderful memories. What more could you ask for? Looking forward to coming back for a third time soon :)

We had a great time at this beautiful home. Excellent place to stay if you want peace and quiet with a creek located behind the home if you enjoy fishing or just listening to the water babbling across the rocks. Swings on the back porch for enjoying the view of the creek and an outside fire pit with patio furniture. Very clean and supplied with anything you’ll need. Really enjoyed our stay.

House was very clean. Bedrooms look even nicer in person than the pictures do justice. Lots of house rules, like they’ve been burned before. But some tedious rules like not able to do laundry (we packed knowing there was a washer/dryer but once arrival, it was posted not to do any personal laundry due to drought), no shoes upstairs, washing and drying all towels before being able to leave and taking all trash off yourself (or paying 5 per bag, but only up to two bags) and the trash service was only open our first of a 4 day stay meaning we had to haul trash 3.5 hours home or pay an additional fee, also the wi-fi is not unlimited. They are clear that if you go over an internet allotment (of I have no clue how much), that additional funds will come out of your deposit. My kids go to sleep streaming TV, so that’s a cost we will have to eat if their allotment is less than what we used. Communication was spot on, host was kind and helpful. Got locked out once and she assisted us to get back in. The number of cameras the house has is a little off-setting. They claimed they were turned off, but infrared lights on them don’t look as though. The creek is just absolutely gorgeous along with the exterior of the house. Property grounds were beautiful as well! If you stay here, just read every single rule before agreeing, it’s the most rules I’ve even seen posted on a property and more than we are willing to accept again. I want vacation to be breezy and not worried about all the rules.

Response from VrboOwner on 14 Sept 2026
We provide all house rules upfront so guests can ensure our home is the right fit for their vacation style. We accept reservations in good faith people read. Thank you for your compliments regarding our communication, helpfulness, and the cleanliness and beauty of our home. After 11 years of hosting, we take great pride in our property. However, we would like to clarify a few points for the benefit of future guests. Occupancy Limits: While not mentioned in your review, your group arrived with 3 additional undisclosed adults without prior authorization. This exceeds our homes sleeping & seating capacity. Exceeding capacity places an unexpected strain on our rural home's infrastructure and leaves someone without proper sleeping & seating. WiFi: The property is equipped with unlimited fiber-optic internet. While we missed updating VRBO platform following the fiber upgrade, we explicitly clarified via text that WiFi was unlimited. Water & Laundry: The notice concerning personal laundry was posted during a severe, county-wide drought. Because our rural home relies entirely on a well system, this temporary ask was a simple request to protect the water supply and ensure uninterrupted service. Asking for towels to be washed is not an uncommon STR practice. Trash & Check-out: there is no county trash pickup service, so utilizing the county convenience station is the only option. Your stay coincided with a holiday, which meant the station was closed on your checkout day (Monday). We do suggest, not demand, folks leave the cleaning staff a small tip as they have to go out of their way to haul off guest trash. Security Cameras: In strict alignment with VRBO guidelines, the presence and rules of our exterior security cameras are fully disclosed on our listing description & in the rental agreement you accepted prior to booking. Shoe Policy: We maintain a no-shoes policy upstairs specifically to protect the carpets from the red clay environment, which is a primary reason the home was as exceptionally clean as you noted. Our home’s rules are there to insure all of our guests have a safe, clean, and consistent experience. We’ve had many guests stay with us 4 and 5 times over the years.

This was the cleanest, most comfortable VRBO we have stayed in, and we have stayed in many. The house and surrounding grounds are beautiful. It is fully stocked with anything you might need. The location is ideal for exploring the nearby small towns and hiking in the many parks. Communication with the owners was smooth and clear. We highly recommend it.

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 High Country 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!
