Willow Roots Homestead & Annie the Airstream

Nestled in a picturesque 12-acre holler in Western North Carolina, Willow Roots Homestead is a tranquil and sustainable retreat that offers an ideal escape from the hustle and bustle of city life.

The homestead's location is perfect for experiencing the natural beauty of the Blue Ridge Mountains and the vibrant culture of Western North Carolina. The property is an ever-evolving ecological oasis that offers a unique blend of nature, sustainability, and community.

The homestead is just 12 minutes away from downtown Marshall, a charming small town with plenty of restaurants and shops to explore. Asheville and Hot Springs are also easily accessible, offering a plethora of cultural and recreational activities.

Annie, the renovated 1977 Airstream Argosy, is the perfect accommodation for those who want to try out camper life or experience a unique stay in the mountains. Annie is retired and ready to create new memories!

Early risers can grab their coffee and enjoy the breathtaking sunrise rising behind the mountains. (It is a great way to enjoy avocado toast)

 The homestead is a market farm that offers seasonal vegetables and fresh eggs. Guests are invited to pick their own produce to add to their meals, making for a unique farm-to-table experience. The homestead also has two friendly goats, Teddy and Crusher, that guests are welcome to hang out with. (We hung out a lot) 

Be sure to visit the homesteads ducks, and chickens. who love the attention and especially mealworm treats.

After a day of exploring, relax in the hammock under the willows, taking in the peaceful surroundings. At night, guests can gather around the fire pit to roast marshmallows, make s'mores, and gaze at the stars that light up the night sky.
