"Garden Gate Barn Loft" - Luxurious Couple's Getaway on the New River

Escape to the North Carolina High Country for an unprecedented getaway on the historic New River. The New River Escape Barn Lofts feature beautiful views of the New River’s South Fork from a self-catering, open concept suite on the top of an 1880s refurbished dairy barn.
​Tucked away between Todd and Fleetwood, this relaxing location allows paddlers, tubers and fishermen direct entrance to the New River, cyclist and runners access to Railroad Grade Road and hikers entry to the woods behind 'The Escape.' Book lovers and loungers will find serene grounds full of relaxing spots that make one feel worlds away from the stresses of everyday life.

The Garden Gate self-catering loft provides all the amenities you need including a queen bed, full kitchen, full bath, 2-person jacuzzi tub, WiFi and beautiful High Country views. Each unit has a heating and cooling system and a gas log stove waiting for you on cool nights. We also provide you with scrumptious linens and a plush robe for lounging after a delightful soak. If you can not find what you need in your loft.
Coming to the High Country with friends? We also have another loft "The French Country" for rent just across the hall. Please see VRBO listing #XXXXXXXXX
