Información de la propiedad

Come experience absolute tranquility... without roughing it!

The Nuthouse Cottage, located on 48 acres of farmland with a recreational pond, is a three story home with a well-appointed and convenient kitchen. The comfy living room has a gas fireplace and opens onto porches with rockers and tables, a gas grill, a vined pergola with a chiminea, and perennial gardens.

On the second floor are two bedrooms with queen beds and a shared bath with a spacious walk-in tiled shower. The master bedroom features a gas-burning fireplace while the second bedroom has a spiral staircase up to the Crow’s Nest. This nice perch has a 360-degree view and is perfect for curling up on the window seats to read and nap. Little ones love sleeping up in the stars.

Walks through the adjacent hardwood sanctuary with an understory of ferns and mountain laurel always reveal natural surprises. Birds and wildlife abound. Down at Reflection Pond, stocked with bream and bass, the fishing is easy. Sit in the boathouse out of the sun, or fish from the dock. Enjoy a meal under the picnic shelter where there's a charcoal grill and an open fire pit for roasting hot dogs and S'mores. Dogs and children have lots of running room. Two kayaks, tubes, and a floating dock are available so you can get out on the water.

The land is beautiful and promising at all times of the year. In May and June, the gardens are blooming and in July, blueberries are ripe for the picking. By August, fields are colored with wild-flowers and butterflies. Come late September into October while the leaves are at peak color, the Virginia Beauty apples ripen and are ready to harvest. And then, even in winter, with or without snow, there is a stark leafless beauty. In any season, the night sky, away from city lights, is perfect for stargazing.

The New River is just 10 minutes away and kayaking / tubing the river is a favorite activity. Helton Creek for trout fishing is just 5 minutes down the road. Grayson Highlands and Mount Rogers are nearby hiking favorites and White top, start of the Creeper Trail for biking, is a 25 minute drive.

The cottage has a smart TV, a DVD player, and free WiFi (40 Mbps download). Other amenities include W/D, dishwasher, gas cooktop, convection oven, and microwave. The kitchen is stocked for serious cooking. Chimenea wood is available year round.

Amazing property!

The Nuthouse cottage exceeded expectations! The house was clean and well stocked with everything you could want for an escape away from the city. The property had amazing views and was immaculately manicured. Traylor was an awesome host and this would be the first place we would check if/when we want to come back to the area!

Another Wonderful Vacation at the Nuthouse Cottage

This was our second time staying at the Nuthouse Cottage. We selected this property again because it provides such a peaceful experience. The cottage is very inviting and the kitchen is well equipped with all your cooking needs. The Nuthouse Cottage is surrounded by nature, providing a sense of calm. We enjoyed fishing, swimming, and tubing in the Reflection Pond located on the property. The property owners are wonderful and really put a lot of thought into creating a relaxing environment for their guests. We are very fond of the Nuthouse Cottage and hope to return again in the future.

Love the Nuthouse!

Beautiful cottage in a lovely setting. Marvelous views, lambs lowing on the hillside, a pond for fishing on the property and nearby hikes to waterfalls and cascades, warm-hearted and welcoming owners who are locals themselves. You will fall in love with the Nuthouse.

The Enchanted Cottage

Our stay at the Nuthouse was absolutely perfect. The cottage is very comfortable and clean.. with a well appointed kitchen, porches on front and back to enjoy the sweet smell of fresh mountain air, gazebo with chiminea for evening wine sipping, private walking trails with pristine nature all around. The beds are super comfortable with high end sheets so sleeping with the windows open is that much better. The owners have thought of everything to keep your family delighted in this enchanting cottage. If you can find an opening, I recommend booking it! Oh..did I mention the fireflies at night…..can’t wait to return.

DREAMY!!!

Maybe the BEST house we have ever rented. The hosts truly thought of everything, and the house was fully stocked. The property is gorgeous, and we explored all the trails, the pond, and the highest overlook. The house itself is just charming and has so much personality, with each little space decorated so uniquely. My favorite room was what we called the "tippy top"... windows all around to see the magnificent view. We loved to sip coffee and read up there. I cannot recommend the Nut House enough! We look forward to coming back!

Amazing retreat for you and your pup

Beautiful cottage and grounds. Every detail has been thought of and the hosts are very nice, responsive, and accommodating. The kitchen is well stocked and the cottage is beautifully decorated. The grounds are perfect for dogs to get a leg stretch. Views are amazing and the property is very quiet. Be sure to star gaze at night. The cottage is a 25 minute drive from Grayson Highlands. Just prepare that the weather on Grayson Highlands can be very different (colder, more windy) than at Grassy Creek. Will definitely be coming back again.

Had a wonderful week at Nuthouse Cottage with wife and adult daughter. The cottage has open post & beam design and is thoughtfully decorated with interesting objects & pieces of art. The property is very scenic and we were content to spend several days of our trip just meandering the trails on the property and fishing in the pond. We also took trips to nearby West Jefferson, The Creeper Trail (scenic bike ride alongside stream) and Grayson Highlands State Park (highly recommended). Had a beautiful Autumn vacation. Thinking about doing another stay in late Spring or early Summer.

Delightful Escape - So Much Attention to Detail

My family and I love to rent places on VRBO and this is, by far, the warmest, most thoughtful place we have ever stayed. Traylor and Diana are incredibly kind and welcoming and you can sense this in every aspect of the cottage. No detail has been overlooked. The kitchen is amazing - giant windows, quality knives and pots, a giant table to easily seat a crowd. The bedrooms had comfortable beds with beautiful quilts. The bathroom has a giant, river rock-tiled shower that feels like an escape in and of itself. We had plenty of space and the cottage was clean and welcoming from the very start. Their little rat terrier, Vita, is worth the trip alone. :) I would, without any hesitation, recommend this spot for anyone looking for an escape. We would love to return in the summer when we can enjoy the pond with the kids. Thank you, Diana & Traylor, for a wonderful time. We truly appreciate you.

Perfection!

We have rented properties through this website multiple times but never have we experienced this level of hospitality. The property itself is absolutely perfect. My two children loved the view from the crow's nest, as it offers a birds-eye view of the mountainside. The kitchen is spacious and has absolutely everything one might need. The bedrooms were spotless and the decor sumptuous. My children loved the pond and were able to kayak for the very first time. We spent a great deal of time fishing and kayaking in the pond and each time we returned to the cottage, my son would BEG to go back...even though it was raining! Diana and her husband were the most gracious hosts you can possibly imagine. Though they had no control of the weather, they were genuinely concerned that we were not enjoying ourselves because of constant rain. In fact, Diana dropped by and brought extra movies so the kids would not be bored! Fortunately the rain did not dampen our fun or our spirits, though it did affect the fishing! Our few days at The Nuthouse were absolutely perfect. We fished, cooked, watched movies, read books, explored, and relished in the quiet, which was bliss! My daughter accidentally left her bathing suit at the cottage. Imagine our surprise when it showed up in our mailbox---thanks to Diana. We will certainly return to this property in the future. We are already considering dates this fall!

This property is the most unique and beautiful vrbo we’ve stayed at! A true labor of love. Had everything we needed. The pond is beautiful and well maintained. The cottage is so charming. It is off the beaten path in terms of being on/next to a farm. Closest grocery store/restaurant is a drive but you won’t really want to leave. Just bring supplies. Kitchen well stocked with essentials.

We loved our stay at the Nuthouse Cottage. The property was expansive and beautiful. There has been a tremendous amount of thought put into the property layout.

Acerca del anfitrión

Anfitrión: Diana and Traylor Renfro

Foto de perfil del anfitrión
We are Diana and Traylor Renfro, originally from Opelika, Alabama. After college at Auburn, we married and followed our careers to Charlotte, NC where we raised two daughters. Traylor worked in Human Resources and Diana in Nutrition and Writing. We both always loved gardening and growing vegetables, flowers, and landscape plants. Our family loves good food and beautiful gardens.

We found these 45 acres late in 1999, on a pilgrimage out of the city into the highlands of Ashe County. On a drizzly November day, we walked the property, seeing its potential. At its center, a wide bowl-like meadow with boggy springs drained into a winding branch. On the eastern slope, bare hardwoods sheltered an understory of club moss, rhododendron, and Mountain Laurel. The western slope, steep, rocky, and had been traversed with cattle, leaving line drawings in the earth. Higher slopes were covered with brambles and freeze-dried wildflowers. One fenced sunny bluff was a hayfield, and below that, grew healthy green rye grass. The old farmhouse was unusable due to a fallen tree which exposed the interior to the elements, but two large barns and half a dozen other outbuildings seemed to be in good condition. Everything needed attention. No one had lived on the property for fifteen years.

We felt a need to restore it, and we couldn’t wait to get started. Today, it’s the same place with amenities. And we believe as stewards of the land, it is meant to be shared. So, come stay for a while and discover North Carolina's "coolest corner."

Por qué eligió esta propiedad

We're hidden away out here in the quiet where there's no light pollution. We enjoy seeing the stars and hearing very little traffic. Living close to the earth, we enjoy growing some of our food and viewing the wildlife. Deer, groundhogs, rabbits, and turkeys are regulars. Occasionally we glimpse a rare fox or bear. And we enjoy four distinct seasons.
In summer, butterflies drift through the perennial and wildflower gardens and dragonflies hover around the pond. On dark June nights, fireflies twinkle while tree frogs and katydids serenade. In July, the blueberries are ripe for picking and days are warm enough to seek out the pond or float down the river.
By autumn, when the tree colors change and dogs run through crisp fallen leaves, goldenrod turns the bowl bright yellow. Virginia Beauty apples ripen in the orchard, ready for harvest. And we might sit on the pier late afternoon and toss a baited line into the pond trying to tempt a bass or bluegill. All around us, the choose and cut Christmas tree business goes wide open.
In winter, we like to build a crackling fire while the snow falls. We read or write, plan next year's gardens, catch up on movies. Then we get outside and get moving in our boots. Being able to see through the leafless trees reveals the lay of the land. Some things are visible only in winter.
We are always ready for spring to pop with daffodils, dandelions, and forsythia followed by irises, fruit trees, peonies and roses. The gardens put on a show. Spring is official when the Ashe Farmers' Market and local produce stands open.

Ashe County is rich with arts and music events and festivals. From food trucks to fine dining, good food is always available. Buying local is not just a suggestion, but really a great option here.

Qué distingue a esta propiedad

Do you need to change your point of view?

Escape from the phones and the emails, from television and traffic. Hide away in the country where you can hear music in the hills and watch the sky change colors.

Come remember what it’s like to live close to the earth, how the Milky Way brightens the sky on a moonless night, and where buying local is easy. Enjoy hiking, biking, trout fishing, river tubing, or antiquing. Experience bluegrass music events and shop for outstanding artisan creations. Or just be quiet, read and reflect. Make a bonfire beneath the stars by Reflection Pond. You'll love it here.
