Royal Spartanette

1 site · Lodging1 acre · Black Mountain, NC

Step back into a simpler time when you stay in our 1951 Royal Spartanette. This beautiful and cozy “tiny home on wheels” is in great condition and includes almost all original details, from the adorable fridge/freezer to the original 1951 Dixie oven and gas range. The trailer has been lovingly cleaned, pampered, and outfitted with all new furniture, artwork, and homewares that either date from or nod to its mid-century design. It is set in the heart of Black Mountain next to a lovely stream. The space: The living room boasts a brand new stylish sofa, which easily folds down into a bed, perfect for a single person or two small children. There is a replica mid-century radio which enables bluetooth connection. Connect to our personalized 1950/60’s Spotify playlist, pour yourself a cocktail or glass of wine from the bar cart, and savor in the simplicity of how good life can be. This is truly stepping back into the past and there is no TV, WIFI, or "smart devices" (aside from the bluetooth speaker). If you need a place to work with powerful internet, this is not the place for you (though there is a very cool co-working space at Town Hardware, 5 mins away). The kitchen is fully equipped with a double sink, a gas range/oven, a fridge with a small freezer section, and all of the essentials you will need for your stay. The coffee and tea bar includes complimentary locally roasted organic coffee, organic teas, raw honey, and organic sugar. The bedroom at the back of the home is outfitted with a queen-size bed and is as luxurious as a 4-star hotel with an organic plush mattress topper, organic cotton sheets, and a beautiful eco-friendly linen comforter. The bathroom is efficient but has everything you need: a shower, sink, toilet, and space for all of your toiletries.There are plenty of organic cotton towels and even complimentary natural products (shampoo/condition, soap, toothpaste, etc) for your use if needed. Outside: Just a few steps from the Spartan is a private stream which provides a peaceful backdrop. There is a fire pit and grill for your use, as well as a small outdoor table and chairs for nights that simply insist on a cookout. For our most curious guests, we’ll even show you the secret trail which leads to the river. Please note, we are in the heart of Black Mountain, but not in the mountains. We are just a 5-minute drive to adorable downtown Black Mountain and 3 minutes to the highway, making it a very convenient location for touring the area. Our Spartan is housed on the side lot of our property near our home and there is an additional house behind us as well. The house behind the Spartan is about 100 feet away and is currently unoccupied. We are in the process of installing a wood fence so the Spartan has a more defined and private space. For the moment, we have installed trees to create a more intimate space for you. Please see photos for details. Guest Access: Guests will have access to the entire Spartan, as well as a private outdoor patio for their use. There is free gravel parking and it's a very a short walk to the location. The walk is through grass and gravel so please know if you have heavy bags, you will not be able to easily roll them to the Spartan. Interactions with guests: We live on the propery in the house next door and as long as we are home, we are available to help with anything you may need during your stay. Other details to note: Again, this is a return to simpler times, so there is no WIFI, TV, or electronics. There is no A/C however the Spartan is nestled in the trees which keep it comfortable year round. There is heat in all of the areas, so you will be warm in the colder months. There are three steps leading up to the Spartan which make it unfortunately inaccessible for those in wheel chairs. Also we use only green and nontoxic cleaning products for the Spartan.

The coffee and tea bar includes complimentary locally roasted organic coffee, organic teas, raw honey, and organic sugar. The bedroom at the back of the home is outfitted with a queen-size bed and is as luxurious as a 4-star hotel with an organic plush mattress topper, organic cotton sheets, and a beautiful eco-friendly linen comforter. The bathroom is efficient but has everything you need: a shower, sink, toilet, and space for all of your toiletries.There are plenty of organic cotton towels and even complimentary natural products (shampoo/condition, soap, toothpaste, etc) for your use if needed. Outside: Just a few steps from the Spartan is a private stream which provides a peaceful backdrop. There is a fire pit and grill for your use, as well as a small outdoor table and chairs for nights that simply insist on a cookout. For our most curious guests, we’ll even show you the secret trail which leads to the river. Please note, we are in the heart of Black Mountain, but not in the mountains. We are just a 5-minute drive to adorable downtown Black Mountain and 3 minutes to the highway, making it a very convenient location for touring the area. Our Spartan is housed on the side lot of our property near our home and there is an additional house behind us as well. The house behind the Spartan is about 100 feet away and is currently unoccupied. We are in the process of installing a wood fence so the Spartan has a more defined and private space. For the moment, we have installed trees to create a more intimate space for you. Please see photos for details. Guest Access: Guests will have access to the entire Spartan, as well as a private outdoor patio for their use. There is free gravel parking and it's a very a short walk to the location. The walk is through grass and gravel so please know if you have heavy bags, you will not be able to easily roll them to the Spartan. Interactions with guests: We live on the propery in the house next door and as long as we are home, we are available to help with anything you may need during your stay. Other details to note: Again, this is a return to simpler times, so there is no WIFI, TV, or electronics. There is no A/C however the Spartan is nestled in the trees which keep it comfortable year round. There is heat in all of the areas, so you will be warm in the colder months. There are three steps leading up to the Spartan which make it unfortunately inaccessible for those in wheel chairs. Also we use only green and nontoxic cleaning products for the Spartan.

Vintage trailers in North Carolina guide

Overview

Crank up the fiddle-and-banjo tunes while driving through the High Country, where campsites and high-altitude views along the Blue Ridge Parkway are marked by mists and mountains. The parkway rolls up to Great Smoky Mountains National Park, not far from the gorgeous homelands of the Cherokee tribe. Just east in Asheville, the Ale Trail rivals the Biltmore as the top draw, though live music and a fantastic culinary scene are close behind. Drive east to the windswept barrier islands of the Outer Banks for coastal camping, wildlife watching, and outdoor adventures that tear across sea and sky. Charlotte, Durham, Chapel Hill, and Raleigh anchor the booming Central Piedmont.

Where to go

High Country & the Blue Ridge Parkway

The Blue Ridge Parkway passes overlooks, waterfalls, and campgrounds in the rugged High Country of western North Carolina as it swoops south from Virginia. Mount Mitchell State Park, Linville Gorge, and Grandfather Mountain are Instagram-pretty while hiking and mountain biking trails beg to be explored.

Great Smoky Mountains National Park & Cherokee

Stories about Cherokee leaders and 19th-century mountain families add historic context to the mountain-and-forest views in the deep-green Smokies. Feeling social? Hit the welcoming Nantahala Outdoor Center for all-sorts of wild adventures, from rafting to ziplining. The Appalachian Trail runs along the North Carolina and Tennessee border in the national park then veers south through Nantahala National Forest.

Asheville & the Foothills

An easy detour from the Blue Ridge Parkway, Asheville is a mountain town that’s going places. The craft beer situation is out of control—more than 30 breweries!—while innovative chefs keep the foodie scene abuzz. Chimney Rock State Park, Lake Lure, and gorgeous waterfalls are outdoor highlights in the foothills. Mountain bikers, get your fix in Pisgah National Forest.

North Carolina Coast

Wind, water, and sunny skies set a mood for fun along the North Carolina Coast. For the best all-around beach scene head to the Outer Banks, a 100-mile stretch of rugged barrier islands marked by dunes, fishing piers, and wild horses. Try hang-gliding at Jockey’s Ridge, windsurfing off Hatteras Island, and parasailing and paddling in Corolla and Duck. For close-to-the-beach tent camping, drive south to Cape Hatteras National Seashore or ferry over to Ocracoke Island.
