Welcome to Magic Cabin — a private mountain retreat set on our farm property, where peaceful woods, open sky, and a touch of whimsy come together.
This cabin was designed for guests who want both comfort and connection — to nature, to animals, and to each other.
Inside you’ll find:
• A fully equipped kitchen
• Comfortable sleeping arrangements for couples or small families
• Cozy living space perfect for movie nights or morning coffee
• Thoughtful design details that make it feel warm and intentional
Step outside and the magic really begins.
Your private outdoor space includes:
• A hot tub under the stars
• A fire pit for slow evenings
• Outdoor seating for morning coffee or sunset wine
Beyond your cabin, the farm opens up.
Wander down to meet the goats and donkeys in the petting zoo.
Magic Cabin is perfect for:
• Couples wanting privacy without isolation
• Small families who love outdoor adventures
• Guests who want a peaceful escape that still feels playful
This is not a cookie-cutter rental. It’s a thoughtfully built cabin surrounded by space, animals, and fresh mountain air.
Quiet when you want it.
Adventure when you’re ready.
That’s the magic.
Petting Zoo: Please go right inside their gate! They are simply the sweetest farm animals, but they are animals. If you have a carrot, they will gladly bump over your toddler to get to that carrot! Act responsibly!
Magic is located in the sweet, quiet, farming town of Sugar Grove (think Valle Crucis but even more laid back), a safe space and with year-round easy access (although we have to recommend 4x4 in the winter months!)
IMPORTANT NOTE: This cabin, aptly named "Magic Cabin" is NOT related to "Mountain Magic Resort" that is located about 15 minutes away. This cabin does NOT have access to the resort amenities, but it has its own private petting zoo!
