STARRY NIGHTS BARN: 

Designed with couples in mind, Starry Nights is an open-loft barn retreat where romance meets rustic charm. A suspended king bed, soft shimmering lights, and soaring ceilings create a space that feels both intimate and unforgettable.

It’s cozy, unique, and perfect for two — yet flexible enough for a small family getaway.

This is an open loft layout, meaning the hanging king bed, fully stocked kitchen, and dining area share one beautifully designed space. The result feels airy, warm, and intentionally simple.

Additional sleeping includes:
• A cargo net hammock loft (a huge hit with kids)
• An oversized single couch
• A single twin bed in the lower stairwell area (not suitable for a child)

Ideal occupancy: 2 adults + 1–2 children

Your unit includes:
• A private deck with hot tub
• Charcoal grill
• Easy parking right at your door (just one step inside)

Whether you're soaking under the stars or enjoying morning coffee above the pasture, this space was built for slowing down.

Important Layout Details (Please Read):

Starry Nights is the upper level of our barn. The lower level is a separate rental.

✔ Separate entrances
✔ Separate parking
✔ Separate decks & hot tubs
✔ Separate HVAC and washer/dryer

The only shared element is the roof.

Because this is a barn-style build, some sound transfer is possible between levels. We ask all guests to be respectful so everyone can enjoy their stay.

This place is the worst! Of course, I’m joking, I don’t want more people to book this place and make it too hard to get an opening. It is magical ! The new, 90’s summer trend going around, this is the place to do it. Our 5 year old was able to go out for an hour with her friends, who she met there, without us worrying. She would feed animals, play in the creek, do the waterslide and catch fireflies at night. We have decided to make this a yearly visit.

We come every year and every year it gets better! My kids love this place so much and dream about it when we leave. Truly magical property with loads and loads to do. Pickleball, tube slide, zip lining, and secret adventures you have to find on your own! The bunnies are my boys favorite, they spend all day hanging with them and feeding them. If you want a place your kids can run free this is it!

If I could give this more than 5 stars I would! We had the best time!!! Started the week by floating down the creek, zip line across the creek, water slide, 10+ swings across the property. Recommend the black swings!! All of the animals came right up to the kids, no one got bitten or kicked so don’t fret, the barn we stayed in was gorgeous and matched the details perfectly! One final note to add - yes it’s on a farm, yes there are cows and other critters - it did NOT smell like manure anywhere on the property. Connie and Enrique and his father have done an amazing job with this farm and I will be sure to book again! Thank you for a great week 😍

We enjoyed a wonderful stay at Connie’s Farm Experience! The accommodations were exactly as described and surpassed our expectations. Excellent venue for young families as our grandchildren were captivated by the petting zoo, zip line and the farm experience in general. This is an excellent place to stay while visiting the North Carolina High Country
