My wife and I moved to the area, from Boone, in the spring of 2014. Our dream was to own a house, preferably a cabin, on top of a mountain with long range views and a gradual winding road to the top. Living in Boone, this dream was definitely out of reach. When we began our search for a new home in the Asheville area, we discovered that the more affordable homes were in fact on the mountains. Perfect! In general I always have a pretty positive outlook on what’s possible, however, I was skeptical that we would ever find our dream home. As Jeannie began her Zillow browsing adventures, one particular cabin with acreage, that was outside of our budget continued to pop up. Jeannie would delete it and then it would come back. At some point the price began to drop, and drop, and drop. On our way back into town one weekend after attending a wedding, I convinced Jeannie to drive by the cabin just because we had the time. Immediately we fell in love and reached out to our realtor buddy. It was more of a shot in the dark but it couldn’t hurt, right? We held our breath for the next month totally expecting someone to get it under contract before us or the sellers not accepting our offer. It had already been reduced significantly so we knew our chances of a lowball offer were slim. We offered the most that we could get a loan for. They accepted! I still get anxious thinking back to that month, October 2014. Many years and two children later, here we are, just as excited everyday to make the long trek up our mountain as we were that August of 2014, and now we are happy to offer a similar experience to you, without having to buy the place. Never stop dreaming! Hope to see you soon, cheers!

In the fall and winter enjoy 360 degree views and in the summer enjoy the shade and cool breeze while relaxing & snacking on wild wine berries and black raspberries. What you will not find is light pollution, traffic, and a desire to leave the mountain. Fall asleep to the calls of the hoot owl and wake up to the knocking of the wood pecker. If & when you decide to explore the area, be sure to checkout Hickory Nut Gap farm just 7.9 miles away & Whistle Hop Brewery 7.7 miles away.

Tip Top of Barnhill Mountain

Awesome Spot

Wow! Such a great location on top of a mountain! Secluded but not far from other homes. The spot and the owner have great vibes. It is probably even more gorgeous in the fall/winter when you have more visibility. Will definitely be back! Thank you Edwin! You da man.

Tip Top of Barnhill Mountain

We loved camping here. We initially set up our tent but ended up sleeping in the small shelter to have more room with our dog. The site felt private and is perfect for a car camping trip with your pets. Would recommend bring camping chairs and to either purchase firewood through Edwin or bring your own. Will absolutely be back.

Amazing private little slice of heaven. We appreciated the shelter and the outhouse. We ordered the big bundle of firewood and it was plenty, also enjoyed the homemade kombucha!

Good Times

Great spot! Has a cool little primitive hut for prep or hunkering down/sleeping in some bad weather…plus an outhouse with a view :) The site also gets service for your phone. Edwin was also really responsive. Enjoy!

Top of the mountain!

Wonderful off the beaten path location. There were some storms when I visited, so having the shelter and the enclosed toilet were so convenient - Edwin was very communicative and the extras were awesome! Great site, great host, nice and secluded. Great spot for the dog to run around while I set up camp. 10/10 will be back.
