Long Branch Farm, Ashe County, NC.

Can you believe this used to be an old barn? This is a stunning renovation tucked into a wildflower-filled hillside. Owner Shelby Tramel said it would have been a lot easier to start from scratch but in the end it was worth the struggle. Sitting on that front deck sipping coffee would make for an excellent morning. It’s on Airbnb so if you’re looking to get in some mountain time, look it up.

And don’t forget to stop by Shelby’s other project, Old Orchard Creek General store in Lansing to grab a beer or glass of wine!
