Elkin, North Carolina may be a small town of just over 4,000 people but the area has been lived in for over 10,000 years. The Sioux Indians settled along the Elkin River around 500 BC and the first white English settlers arrived in the mid-18th century and because of Elkin’s position on two rivers, the city saw a large expansion and increase in prosperity in the 1890’s. The local Elkin municipal park was also a staging area for troops during the revolutionary war. These days Elkin is a quiet town with quaint old charm to it, and because of their weather, they even produce a local wine and are the home of two micro breweries. Visit Elkin today and stay in one of these amazing Airbnb vacation rentals in the area.

10. Rustic cabin best for couples
If you’re looking for a real rustic experience that is essentially just on step above camping, then this is it. This one bedroom shack may be small but it can sleep up to three people. Great for a small couple’s camping trip. The small area of flatland is right beside the Mitchel River and there is tons of firewood for lighting up a great big fire at night — all you need are the marshmallows. Restaurants and shops for supplies are only about a 15 minute drive away but you’ll still feel secluded out here.
