Mountain Magic: Private Petting Zoo & Hot Tub (3/2)

An immersive, private, family-friendly mountain experience & your own PRIVATE petting zoo!
Authentic log cabin, beaming with country charm & just 15 mins to Boone!
Hot tub, fireplace, fire pit, outdoor seating, sun room, full kitchen. Level land for playing, WiFi, satellite tv, hammocks, gas grill & sleeps 6 w/ pvt loft.
We are told we live up to our name, “Magic!” 1200+ 5-star Airbnb host reviews!
25 mins to skiing & Blowing Rock. $75 pet fee (typically 1 dog under 50 pounds), more than one dog or a larger dog, please inquire.
The entire property is yours. Three floors, bedrooms on each floor with the upstairs being a private loft (3rd bedroom). Cozy enough for a couple (half of our guests), but enough space for up to six guests. Plenty of indoor and outdoor seating, enjoy the built-in fire pit and hot tub, enjoy our seasonal waterfall and enjoy the farm life!
Enjoy your private yard, the acreage housing our animals (donkeys, goats, pig & some ducks/rooster). Easy access into Boone (15 mins), Valle Crucis (10 mins) and over to Banner Elk (20 mins). Skiing and Blowing Rock within 25 minutes!
Pet friendly with breed & size restrictions (50 pounds max) & $75 pet fee. Our animals prefer to be the largest animals on property. Please ask!
Renting Mountain Magic does NOT gain you access to our farm up the road, I am sorry (it is private for guests staying there).
The entire property is yours. The animals live off the land, so you are not responsible for caring for the animals, however, should you choose to feed them, we ask only that they eat fruits and vegetables and they will take all the love you want to throw at them. Go right inside their gate! They are simply the sweetest farm animals, but they are animals. If you have a carrot, they will gladly bump over your toddler to get to that carrot! Act responsibly!
I think we have interaction down. Guests want to see a face, they want to know this is a personal service, but we also know how not to bother a vacationing family :).
We think you will love the quiet of Bethel. Guests are reminded of Valle Crucis charm here, and we get that, but this is a sweet, quiet farming area, a safe space and with easy access (though everyone should recommend 4x4 in the winter months!)
You will need a car. NOTE: A lot of families plan excursions and end up skipping some of them and simply enjoy the cabin and farm life. Set aside time to just lounge at Mountain Magic, this is where your family’s mountain memories will be made!
The farm animals LOVE veggies! Our pig, goats and donkeys will quickly become your best friends! Carrots, celery, cabbage, whatever you got, EXCEPT corn and sweet feed!
Pet Fee starts at $75 (Under 50 pounds only). Our farm animals prefer to be the largest animals on property :)

Are you looking for something different?
We absolutely loved our stay at this cabin! We only had a short weekend available to spend with our all our kids home from school, and really wanted to do something different from the norm, and this definitely checked every box! The cabin itself is very quaint, but the selling point is really the beautiful property! If you are tired of staying at every cliche cabin in the mountains, give this place a try! Everyone in my family loved it, thank you for a wonderful stay!

Great Stay
Our family LOVED the animals and the hot tub. It was overall a wonderful experience and the pros more than outweighed some of upgrade opportunities (cookware, utensils, mattresses). We were more than comfortable and had everything we needed!

Family Vacation to the Mountains
Mountain Magic was absolutely an amazing family vacation with our three small children. They loved the hot tub, feeding the animals, building fires, and running around in the grass! It is close enough to the ski towns to sled and ski if you choose. We went sledding one of the days but our favorite part was staying at the VRBO and building fires! I would recommend this place a million times over!

Great family spot
This was our third time to this cabin. It’s in a great location close to lots of activities and cool towns. The animals are always hit with the entire family. There are 3 levels so everyone can have a skittle space of their own. The downstairs is a favorite for our teen. The hot tub is great during our winter stay.
