About this property
Experience nature, right by Hillsville, Va. a few ft from a stocked creek.
The Firefly sits amongst the trees, just a few ft from the noisy creek bank. A nice rock path takes you into the crystal clear water that is stocked September- May. This safari tent has lots of solar lighting, power, a refrigerator, composting toilet that is odorless and clean, and an outdoor hot and cold water shower. Enjoy the outdoor soaking tub by the creek, a charcoal grill, drip coffee maker, and plenty of stacked firewood by the firepit. There is a hard surface road to the property and then a gravel drive. Only three miles to Hillsville for shopping and dining. We allow pets but please clean up their waste. Sit by the creek and let the sound put you to sleep, hike nearby trails, visit The New River Trail for mountain biking and hiking, flea markets, ziplining at Buffalo mountain ziplining, visit local breweries and wineries, and six miles from I-77 and The Blue Ridge Parkway. The winter months are heated with a propane wall heater and a pellet stove. These keep it toasty warm in single digit weather but be aware that if it’s below freezing, the water lines do freeze under the tent, so you may not have running water at times. There is the conventional bathhouse at the top of the hill but it freezes as well in single digit weather.
