1 Bedroom • 1 Bathroom (1 half) 1 Bath (1 half) • Sleeps 1-3Somewhere off a winding mountain road, tucked into old-growth forest where the creek runs and the wildlife outnumbers the neighbors, sits a little wooden hideaway that feels like it grew there rather than was built.
Welcome to The Carrock, a cozy tiny house on Beorn's Bower homestead, just 15 minutes off the I-77/I-81 merge in Max Meadows, VA. There's no wifi here, only woodsmoke, birdsong, and the kind of quiet that makes you want to put the kettle on and stay a while.
Inside you'll find:
- Small kitchen with propane stovetop and convection oven
- Shower and composting toilet (simple step-by-step instructions provided)
- Window AC
- On-demand hot water heater
- Small TV with HDMI (bring your own streaming device)
Just outside:
- A deck overlooking the creek
- Firepit
- Birdwatching binoculars provided
Nearby: the Appalachian Trail, New River Trail, Foster Falls, Dismal Falls, and Grayson Highlands are all within reach, along with canoeing, hunting/fishing access, local breweries, and a small-town dinner theatre, Wohlfahrt Haus Dinner Theatre.
Pets: Four-legged friends are always welcome at Beorn's Bower. Dogs must stay leashed and never left to wander the forest alone, and a small pet fee applies to any reservation traveling with pets, just let us know before you arrive so we can roll out the welcome mat. Cats are welcome in the catio only, not inside.
Seasonal Water Notice: Due to freezing overnight temperatures, water service to the tiny house will be turned off beginning November 1. Potable drinking water will be provided in the refrigerator, and the composting toilet will continue to function normally. Hand sanitizer will also be provided. Please note that the sink and shower will not be available during this period.
Embrace Nature: This is wild, old-growth country, so despite our best housekeeping, you may cross paths with the odd insect or curious critter during your stay. Consider it part of the welcome.
Rates & Availability
Cancellation Policy: One hundred percent (100.00%) of the total booking charges (less $20.00 cancellation fee) will be refunded if the cancellation is made more than 5 days prior to the arrival date of the reservation. For cancellations made within 5 days prior to the arrival date, no refund will be issued.
About the Owner
