Why we chose this property
The 26 ac. farm was at one time owned by my ancestors and when it came up for sale, my grandmother was blessed to be able to purchase it. She purchased the farm in 1986 and planted her first Christmas trees in the Spring. In about 1992 her late husband and she opened the farm for choose and cut and invited people to visit the farm on weekends during Nov. and Dec. to pick out their perfect Christmas tree. Many of those customers often stated they would love to visit during other seasons. This planted the seed for a rental cabin. In 2000, after the passing of her husband in 1999, she decided it was time to put their dream into action and had Songbird Cabin built so that she could begin sharing her farm with others throughout the year.
What makes this property unique
My grandmother (the property owner) chose to build Songbird cabin on a section of the farm that has the most beautiful long-range views. From the deck of the cabin, you can see the slopes of Ski Beech Mountain and you can see a view of Grandfather Mountain. Or you can just enjoy the view of the surrounding properties. One guest said that sitting on the deck and watching the clouds and the sky was like watching “God’s paintbrush at work”.
Peace and quiet and a little slice of heaven on a Christmas tree farm. Sit by the pond and enjoy the firepit while listening to nature or walk around the farm roads for a little relaxation. Boone NC is only 30 minutes away to enjoy special events or shopping downtown. Lots of hiking trails nearby and a few on the farm. As well check out our craft shop located on the farm.
Check out An Appalachian Summer Festival to find upcoming events to enjoy while staying in Little Red’s Cottage. Check out the many events planned throughout the summer and fall in Blowing Rock, Beech Mountain, Seven Devils, Banner Elk, Jefferson and West Jefferson. These are some of the nearby NC mountain towns to visit. And just a short drive away you can visit Elizabethton, Johnson City or Mountain City TN. So much to see and do in our beautiful mountains throughout the year. You can water ski on Watauga Lake or snow ski at Appalachian Ski Mountain or Beech Mountain. Come spend a week but not a fortune at Little Red’s Cottage while enjoying all the mountains have to offer.
