Immaculate Home On Pristine Stocked Trout Stream

This home and property were our little piece of heaven.

This was my second stay at this property. It is an incredible escape from the hustle and bustle. The house is perfectly located on the creek for fishing or swimming. The house itself is extremely well maintained and comfortable. Renee is always responsive and seems to really want you to enjoy your time. 10/10, highly recommend. I'll be back with my children

Clean, cozy house with relaxing outdoor area.

Cabin was great. Comfortable beds. Kitchen had everything we needed. Everything was clean. 20 minutes to Boone. 30 minutes to Appalachian Ski Mountain. Outside was beautiful.

We had a nice time

This home was exceptionally clean. The kitchen was well-stocked for cooking and baking. The property, located on the Elk River, is beautiful.We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Moonshine Bend.

Wonderful home!

This was the cleanest, most comfortable VRBO we have stayed in, and we have stayed in many. The house and surrounding grounds are beautiful. It is fully stocked with anything you might need. The location is ideal for exploring the nearby small towns and hiking in the many parks. Communication with the owners was smooth and clear. We highly recommend it.

Peaceful setting made for relaxing get away.

What a great place! A lot of different things to do on the property and the hosts are excellent!

We had a great time at this beautiful home. Excellent place to stay if you want peace and quiet with a creek located behind the home if you enjoy fishing or just listening to the water babbling across the rocks. Swings on the back porch for enjoying the view of the creek and an outside fire pit with patio furniture. Very clean and supplied with anything you’ll need. Really enjoyed our stay.

Beautiful, well maintained property with plenty of options for entertainment. We only used the master bedroom, but the bed was comfortable and the space was inviting. WELL stocked kitchen. They had everything available we could have imagined. The outdoor space was peaceful and beautiful. It was a perfect escape from the rush but still close to town to get on adventures. The road is pretty curvy but we went the opposite direction of what the owners suggested… that was on us. Still a great drive. Living room was very comfortable as well. The owners were very quick to respond and gave great suggestions on things to do in the area. We will definitely be back!!

My favorite part of our stay was the day there were butterflies all around us. Magical! No luck with the fishing but we secured rainbow trout in Boone!

This is our third year and we always enjoy our time at this property. It's very relaxing to soak in the swimming hole and ease our aches in the cool water. Our dog loves exploring and swimming, as well. The house is always clean and the internet works well (especially compared to the first year). The kitchen is well stocked with equipment. I suggest bringing your own toilet paper, paper towels and laundry detergent just to be safe.West Jefferson is our preferred little town to visit. Boone is nice but the traffic is always terrible when we visit after school starts at the university. The last two years we rented a pontoon boat from Skyline Marina at Kerr Reservoir in Wilkesboro and that's a super fun day trip.

We had the most amazing time at Renee and Drew’s lovely home in Deep Gap. It’s a truly special place that instantly brought us back to childhood memories of scampering around a creek. We swam in the clear, crisp water, searched for rock treasures, connected with the land, and dreamed about when we could return.Renee was wonderful to communicate with. She was responsive, helpful, and kind. The house was spotless, beautifully organized, and thoughtfully stocked with everything we could need, from walking sticks for exploring to a fully equipped kitchen for cooking together. The beds were incredibly comfortable, and we felt right at home the moment we arrived.We left feeling refreshed, grateful, and already counting the days until our next visit.

Our family of 5 loves Moonshine Bend so much we’ve kept coming back. While the house is lovely, most of our time is spent in and along the creek. This year we were able to bring our new dog, and she quickly became Moonshine Bend’s newest and most ardent fan! We’ve built so many memories here on Elk Creek; it will always hold a very special place in our hearts.

My BFF and I had a wonderful, relaxing week at Moonshine Bend! We brought puzzles and our favorite game, Backgammon, but never even got these items out of the car! We just enjoyed the house and outside area. The home is beautifully decorated and the creek running right outside the backdoor could only have been created by the Master himself! The property had everything anyone would need for a fun week in the mountains of North Carolina.

The property was very nice and had everything we needed and then some. The river was absolutely beautiful and we all enjoyed swimming and fishing. Overall a great place to stay and unwind.

The house was so comfortable and had everything we needed. However, the real draw was the beautiful creek and nature surrounding the home. We spent as much time as possible outdoors playing and fishing in the creek. We ate on the beautiful patio whenever we could and enjoyed the outdoor fireplace! The location feels remote enough to get away from it all but is still convenient to Boone or Blowing Rock. Would absolutely stay again!

Nice peaceful place on the Elk Creek River in Deep Gap. The place was clean and wonderful place to relax and enjoy life.

Our stay was absolutely wonderful and memorable! Peaceful, relaxing, fun, adventurous and very inspirational! From the bamboo forest that first catches your eye to the creekside sounds that restores your soul! This destination has it all! Clean, comfortable, organized and well managed. The check-in to check-out was as smooth as the stones you’ll enjoy searching for along the creekside!

Moonshine Bend is a beautiful setting and well maintained house and property. The house had everything we needed for a week long or longer stay. It is located in close proximity to Boone and Blowing Rock etc if you want to venture out. Renee answered all calls and text promptly and was extremely helpful during the entire process. You will want to hit the WalMart in Wilkesboro or the Food Lion on 421 before heading down the switchbacks to the house.Our stay was hindered by bad weather and unfortunately we were unable to take advantage of all the beauty and adventures this property has to offer. No one can control the weather and our stay at Moonshine Bend would have definitely been a 5 star rating any other time.

Cute Cabin. Nice and cozy. Loved the sound of the river in the back yard and the outdoor fire place is very nice!

We stayed 3 days and 4 nights traveling from Florida. The property is beautiful and located within a 20-30 minute drive to West Jefferson, Boone and Sugar Mountain. We had a day of skiing and a few others to relax and tour the local towns. When outside the constant sound of the river was very relaxing.

We enjoyed our stay.

We enjoyed our stay at Moonshine Bend. The water and view were amazing and relaxing. The property's owners were great to work with. Unfortunately, the VRBO support was not helpful when needed and cost me extra money.

My family and I had finally got the chance for a small vacation from work and health issues. The owner was very helpful with us on the last minute reservation. The property was perfect great location beautiful home. Would highly recommend.

Absolutely beautiful and peaceful place to relax and unwind.The host could not be more attentive and accommodating.Beautiful creek full of fish and our son got see to an otter. On a scale of 1-5 this place is an 8!! Thank you for sharing your blessing with us.
