Enchanted Nook

Tucked deep in the quiet forest of Elk Horn Acres, The Enchanted Nook Octagon is not your typical getaway. It is a thoughtfully designed escape created for guests who are ready to step away from constant connection and step into something slower, quieter, and far more intentional. Surrounded by trees, mountain air, and complete privacy, this glass octagon retreat offers a rare chance to disconnect from everyday life while still being just a short drive from the Blue Ridge Parkway, Mabry Mill, Buffalo Mountain, and Mt. Airy.

This is a place where distractions do not follow you. There is no Wi-Fi and no television, by design. Instead of screens and streaming, your attention naturally shifts to what is right in front of you. Morning light moving through the forest, the sound of wind through the trees, and the simple joy of uninterrupted time together become the highlight of your stay. Conversations last longer, meals feel more intentional, and even silence feels restorative.

Inside, the space is modern yet warm, blending mid-century inspired design with the natural beauty just outside every window. Floor to ceiling glass surrounds you with ever-changing views of the forest, creating the feeling that you are living inside nature itself. From misty mornings to golden hour sunsets filtering through the trees, the scenery becomes part of your experience from the moment you wake up to the moment you fall asleep.

The main sleeping area features a brand-new king-size bed that invites deep rest and slow mornings with no rush to be anywhere else. For an additional guest, there is a small loft space with a twin floor mattress, offering a cozy and tucked away sleeping option that feels like a little hideout above the main living space. A fully equipped kitchen gives you the freedom to cook together at your own pace, turning simple meals into shared moments. The living area offers a comfortable space to unwind, read, talk, or simply sit in the stillness, while a modern bathroom and convenient laundry setup provide everyday comfort without pulling you out of the retreat experience.

Outside, the property continues to feel like its own world. The back porch is perfect for morning coffee or quiet reflection surrounded by nature. A screened in porch offers another peaceful place to relax no matter the weather. A short path leads to Adirondack chairs gathered around a firepit, where evenings unfold under a vast, star filled sky with nothing but fresh air, firelight, and conversation.

The Enchanted Nook Octagon is built for one purpose, to help you fully unplug so you can reconnect. No Wi-Fi, no television, no distractions. Just nature, stillness, and the kind of presence that is hard to find anywhere else.

Our mountain properties are nestled in the woods, which means you're truly immersed in nature, it s part of the charm! That said, while we take every measure to keep our properties clean and comfortable, you may occasionally see a bug or critter during your stay along with other wild life including bears and deer. This is completely normal for a forested environment and part of the rustic experience. We recommend keeping doors closed and food sealed to help minimize visits from curious insects. If you're especially sensitive to nature's little visitors, feel free to pack some bug spray for added peace of mind!
