Lewis, author of The Chronicles of Narnia. Designed to replicate elements of Lewis's one-and-only home in Oxford, Narnia House is full of artifacts from Narnian lore and from the world of C.S. Lewis. Exquisite craftsmanship includes hand-distressed wood floors, real stone countertops, a spectacular kitchen with a Viking oven, manufactured slate and copper roofing, historic gas lanterns, a 1910 spiral staircase, and much, much more. Rooms include Kirke's Quarters, complete with a Cambridge-styled fireplace and a magical wardrobe, the nautical-themed Caspian's Quarters, and The Wood Between the Worlds Room, with access to a private deck overlooking a horse pasture (where you can see Bree grazing). Overlooking a pasture of sheep and goats, the grounds for Narnia House include a private pickleball court. Guests have stones-throw access to a period blacksmith shoppe, to Walden Cabin and Pond, to a 22-box community garden and garden shoppe, to special seating areas perfect for a good read -- and to nearly two miles of walking trails and forest bathing sites. Follow all that with a good bath in the English-style clawfoot tub. It doesn't get much better. Narnia House will stir your theological imagination with its art, its books, and its maps and quotes. Plus, you'll find a passageway and hidden reading nooks and rooms -- and of course a lantern in the woods nearby. (And there are no TVs here, by design.) Access to Walden Cabin, Camp Paradiso, Camp Jackson, The Treehouse Bungalow and The Homestead Green Room and Gray Room are also available for added accommodations if/as needed, by direct communications with the owner. All rental proceeds benefit the work of Magnalia Homestead Foundation, a public 501(c)3 non-profit organization. Located in Stokesdale, NC near Belews Lake. ## Property amenities ### Internet - Available in the house: Free WiFi ### Parking and transport - Wheelchair-accessible parking and van parking available ### Kitchen - Blender - Coffee grinder - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Electric kettle - Hob - Ice maker - Kitchen island - Kitchenette - Microwave - Oven - Refrigerator - Spices - Toaster ### Dining - Dining table ### Bedrooms - 3 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 3 bathrooms - Hair dryer - Shower - Soap - Toilet paper - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Dining table - Fireplace - Living room - Separate dining area ### Entertainment - Books - Games ### Outdoor areas - Balcony - Barbecue grill - Firepit - Garden - Outdoor furniture ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Work spaces - Desk - Desk chair ### Comfort - Air conditioning - Heating ### Pets - No pets allowed ### Suitability/Accessibility - If you have requests for specific accessibility needs, please contact the property using the information on the reservation confirmation received after booking. - Accessible parking space - Front entrance ramp - Hardwood flooring in public areas - No lift - Well-lit path to entrance - Wheelchair-accessible parking - Wheelchair-accessible path of travel - Wheelchair-accessible van parking - Smoke-free property ### Things to do - Pickleball ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector (host has indicated there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) ### General - At least 10% of profits reinvested in community and sustainability - Garden - Humane treatment of captive wild animals - Local artist showcase - Local culture and ecosystem education ## Similar properties ![Property grounds](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/79000000/78670000/78662400/78662381/4e937bf2.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Adorable home w/ huge back yard- minutes from Belews Lake.

All of the details included tying the property to "Narnia" were very well done and intriguing to find as you go through the house. The hosts were exceptional and quick to resolve any minor issues we had. The only suggestion we would have would be to streamline and add detail to the check in process similar to other VRBO properties we've rented. If you are wanting a unique adventure and a quiet stay, this would fill that need! ##### Chris R. Stayed 3 nights in Oct 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Sandra W. 28 Sept 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy Narnia house was the most unique vrbo we have ever stayed. House was perfect. Very comfortable and so so relaxing. Tranquil and laid back environment with amazing outside amenities and perfect spots to relax inside and out.We have never experienced such nice hosts. Met us and got us settled and checked in with us often. Even brought fresh eggs and milk from their farm. Will most definitely be visiting Narnia House again. Excellent experience ##### Sandra W. Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### stephen s. 29 Jun 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Absolutely Perfect in Every Way Our stay at this magical farm was nothing short of perfect. From the moment we arrived, we were welcomed with such warmth and kindness by Jim and Rachael—truly two of the kindest people you’ll ever meet.The property is stunning, peaceful, and full of charm. Every detail was thoughtfully considered, and the amenities were top-notch. The home itself was clean, cozy, and beautifully appointed, but it’s the farm that truly makes this place unforgettable.Waking up to the sounds of nature, collecting fresh eggs from the chickens, watching Daisy the cow graze, and seeing a little bunny dart out of the garden in the morning—it all felt like something out of a storybook. The dogs were friendly and fun to have around, and the whole experience was just pure joy.If you’re looking for a getaway that feels both luxurious and down-to-earth, peaceful and heartwarming, this is it. We can’t wait to come back. ##### stephen s. Stayed 2 nights in Jun 2025
