We appreciate your review of our home and appreciate your stay.
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.

Thanks for taking the time to share your thoughts on our home. We’re happy everything was to your satisfaction. We hope you will return in the future.
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.

Thank you so much for acknowledging the cleanliness and beauty of our home and land. We want everyone to feel comfortable and make lifelong memories. We hope you will come back.
The property was very nice and had everything we needed and then some. The river was absolutely beautiful and we all enjoyed swimming and fishing. Overall a great place to stay and unwind.
My favorite part of our stay was the day there were butterflies all around us. Magical! No luck with the fishing but we secured rainbow trout in Boone!

Moonshine Bend is truly a magical place. I’m so happy the butterflies showed up for you, even if the fish didn’t. I’m betting the otters caught and ate them. We appreciate your stay and hope you’ll come back.
Our family of 5 loves Moonshine Bend so much we’ve kept coming back. While the house is lovely, most of our time is spent in and along the creek. This year we were able to bring our new dog, and she quickly became Moonshine Bend’s newest and most ardent fan! We’ve built so many memories here on Elk Creek; it will always hold a very special place in our hearts.
The house was so comfortable and had everything we needed. However, the real draw was the beautiful creek and nature surrounding the home. We spent as much time as possible outdoors playing and fishing in the creek. We ate on the beautiful patio whenever we could and enjoyed the outdoor fireplace! The location feels remote enough to get away from it all but is still convenient to Boone or Blowing Rock. Would absolutely stay again!

We’re thrilled you all had a great time and we look forward to your return visit.
Our stay was absolutely wonderful and memorable! Peaceful, relaxing, fun, adventurous and very inspirational! From the bamboo forest that first catches your eye to the creekside sounds that restores your soul! This destination has it all! Clean, comfortable, organized and well managed. The check-in to check-out was as smooth as the stones you’ll enjoy searching for along the creekside!
Beautiful, well maintained property with plenty of options for entertainment. We only used the master bedroom, but the bed was comfortable and the space was inviting. WELL stocked kitchen. They had everything available we could have imagined. The outdoor space was peaceful and beautiful. It was a perfect escape from the rush but still close to town to get on adventures. The road is pretty curvy but we went the opposite direction of what the owners suggested… that was on us. Still a great drive. Living room was very comfortable as well. The owners were very quick to respond and gave great suggestions on things to do in the area. We will definitely be back!!
My BFF and I had a wonderful, relaxing week at Moonshine Bend! We brought puzzles and our favorite game, Backgammon, but never even got these items out of the car! We just enjoyed the house and outside area. The home is beautifully decorated and the creek running right outside the backdoor could only have been created by the Master himself! The property had everything anyone would need for a fun week in the mountains of North Carolina.
The location is perfect, sleeping with the river sound was heaven. The home is lovely and has everything needed for a family vacation.

About the host
Hosted by Renee and Drew Royall
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!
