This Picturesque Petting Zoo and Barn Loft provide the perfect getaway for the whole family | Sugar Grove, NC

This place looks so picturesque! It’s a beautiful barn on 15 acres of rolling hills, just 20 minutes from the mountain town of Boone. This one even has a petting zoo, so I would definitely recommend bringing the kids along for some adorable photo ops and memories! As a guest here, you have access to the upper floor of the barn, which has a wide open floor plan with a King bed held by ropes, a kitchen, a full bathroom, and a washer/dryer. There is also a neat loft made out of cargo netting that looks pretty interesting to hang out on. Outside, you have a hot tub, a fun swing for the kids, a fire pit, a stream, and a pond.

Book your stay at this property

For only about $150/night, I was surprised to see some availability this summer. But I would actually recommend visiting during the fall so you don’t miss that beautiful fall foliage!

The petting zoo has goats, bunnies, ducks, and chickens! I know my kids would be entertained for hours! Although you can’t bring along your own petting zoo, you can pay a pet fee and bring 1 furry companion under 25 lbs.

Read what past guests have said about their stay:

“Oh wow, so much to say! Connie was absolutely the BEST host! First of all, the renovated barn we stayed in was so beautiful. We were only about 20 minutes from Boone and had so much fun walking around town an eating at some different restaurants. But, even though town was so close, once you got to where we stayed, it seemed like a magical place in the center of the mountains, far away from any town. The hiking was wonderful, there were sculptures, hammocks and swings all around. Th petting zoo was so wonderful! There was two baby goats born while we were there so it was so fun to see them and be able to pet them. The goats were so friendly and fun to feed. We also were able to feed the cutest llamas I’ve ever seen!! Connie replied to my messages via Airbnb almost immediately after I sent them. We even saw her and spoke to her on the farm and she was so nice. Very sweet and down to earth. I would definitely recommend staying at any of her properties. A classy host all the way and our stay was 10 out of 10 and couldn’t have been any better.”

“This is a magical place that has it all. There is so much attention to detail. It’s an absolutely beautiful setting and the animals are friendly and adorable. It’s the perfect place to relax and unwind. I highly recommend and will be back.”

“This stay was AMAZING!! My husband and I have been needing a getaway and this was our first one since having our oldest daughter over 7 years ago! The setting was so serene which was exactly what we wanted. We chose this place because we wanted to have the option to stay in or find some adventure while we were here and this place offered both. (Highly recommend sky valley zip tours for some nearby adventure as well!) Our only disappointment is that we couldn’t stay a little longer because we had to get back to work! We will definitely be back with our kids soon. Huge thanks to the host for this sweet slice of paradise!”

This barn loft seems to have it all, a relaxing retreat for adults, a fun petting zoo for the kids, and beautiful natural scenery while still being close to all the activities Boone has to offer!
