STARRY NIGHTS BARN: 



Designed with couples in mind, Starry Nights is an open-loft barn retreat where romance meets rustic charm. A suspended king bed, soft shimmering lights, and soaring ceilings create a space that feels both intimate and unforgettable.

It’s cozy, unique, and perfect for two — yet flexible enough for a small family getaway.

This is an open loft layout, meaning the hanging king bed, fully stocked kitchen, and dining area share one beautifully designed space. The result feels airy, warm, and intentionally simple.

Additional sleeping includes:

• A cargo net hammock loft (a huge hit with kids)

• An oversized single couch

• A single twin bed in the lower stairwell area (not suitable for a child)

Ideal occupancy: 2 adults + 1–2 children

Your unit includes:

• A private deck with hot tub

• Charcoal grill

• Easy parking right at your door (just one step inside)

Whether you're soaking under the stars or enjoying morning coffee above the pasture, this space was built for slowing down.



Important Layout Details (Please Read):



Starry Nights is the upper level of our barn. The lower level is a separate rental.

✔ Separate entrances

✔ Separate parking

✔ Separate decks & hot tubs

✔ Separate HVAC and washer/dryer

The only shared element is the roof.

Because this is a barn-style build, some sound transfer is possible between levels. We ask all guests to be respectful so everyone can enjoy their stay.

Wonderful Stay!

We had an amazing stay this summer at this property. We have stayed at another property run by this manager and loved it. This summer tried the top and bottom unit here. The manager was responsive to our questions and the property is AMAZING! My three sons all wish to come back again. My teenagers fished each evening and my youngest made friends with other visitors and was non-stop active out of doors for this vacation. We went out and about in Boone and Blowing Rock a few times but overall the kids requested to stay at the property and enjoy the amenities. We will be back!

The most magical property

We spent three nights at Starry Nights. Connie, the owner was so kind! The whole property is beautiful. So many whimsical details and I loved the animals! Starry nights was beautiful and clean. Such a romantic getaway. Convenient to Boone, Banner Elk, Beech Mountain, and we even took a drive to Bristol, TN. Highly recommend this property to anyone looking for romance, style, and fun!

We didn’t want to leave the property

We had planned to do several things on in the area on our trip but fell so in love with the barn and the property we didn’t want to leave. Our trip off property ended up consisting of a trip to the grocery store so we could get back. It was the perfect relaxing weekend getaway!

What a wonderful place!

We had such an amazing and relaxing time! The petting zoo was so cute! We stayed for two nights and came to ski and relax:) The only critique I have was that the bathroom (specifically the shower) was not cleaned but other than that it was so clean and a super comfy space! The property is shared and perfect for anyone who loves unique spots. We definitely want to return back and stay for longer- but we were so lucky to have the two days we did! We bought carrots for the animals too (super funny watching the goats jump with excitement!). Another fun thing was exploring the property and getting to see the hidden items on the property! The trampoline, swings, hammocks, fire pits, etc were so fun! We couldn’t have loved a place more! Thank you for this experience! See you soon!!

Breathtaking

We had a wonderful stay at this property. Connie, the owner was extremely responsive regarding our questions. The accommodations & property are immaculate. There is the sweetest petting zoo & walking trails around her 15 acre property (complete with disc swing and in-ground trampoline!) Very safe as well, as I had the pleasure of sprinting after my very “spirited” 4 year old up & down the trails. 🙃 we will certainly be back! Thanks Connie for such wonderful accommodations. -Karla

Mountain Magic Resort

This property is wonderful for families. On-site petting “zoo” consisting of goats, bunnies, small horses, and a wide variety of birds! Not to mention the alpacas! Playground, fire pits, beautiful surroundings for walking/hiking and the accommodations for gathering, eating, sleeping, etc. exceeded our expectations! On our last morning there, we woke up to a dusting of snow! A truly magical place!

Peaceful but fun location

Excellent location. We enjoyed the property and had fun in the recreation area (I totally kicked my husband's tail in ax throwing). We enjoyed the goats, bunnies, ponies, and lamas. So wonderful to interact and feed them carrots. The barn was a real treat and very comfortable! Everything was clean and so many neat touches throughout. Really appreciated little things like salt and pepper. Will gladly stay here again.

Beautiful property

Really enjoyed our stay. We were in the upper apartment of the barn. It was spacious and beautiful. Well appointed. Quiet. There was a family downstairs and we never heard anything. We did not partake in the hot tub or anything outdoors as hurricane Ian came through as a tropical storm with a lot of rain. Lovely property and hope to rent again the next time we are back in town.

Fun little get-away

Great spot for our quick family adventure. My kids are teens, but still has a good time because they love animals. Weather wasn’t great, so we didn’t get to explore as much as we would have liked to, so we may come back again. 20 minutes into Boone—not a bad drive at all.

Stunning!

If you are looking for a getaway, this property is your place! We stayed with our 9 yr old who absolutely loved this place, we literally drove right past Disney world and Universal to come here and would do it again without question! The entire property is gorgeous from the cabin with it's own hot tub which was clean and the grounds it sits on. We took a walk in the woods, sat and drank mimosas by the river, played with all the animals, and even got a hig from Hernandez the turkey, he's very impressive! Fire pits, seating, and hammocks jotted throughout the property for you to enjoy and the tube slide was a lot of fun. Connie was the most amazing host. Wonderful memories made by our entire family for our stay!
