- "This is a beautiful place! We stayed at here 5 nights with a group of extended family ranging in age from 1 to 79 and everyone had a great time. The accommodations were top notch. Every bedroom was comfortable and large with wonderful private baths (nice soaking tubs!). The wrap around porch was perfect for the kids to run around on endlessly, which they loved. The kitchen was really well stocked (much better than most vacation rentals we've stayed in before). We made use of the fire pit and the kayaks. We did the hike to Shortoff direct from the house and went down to Lake James a few times. The gravel road was longer than we expected. It was perfectly fine to drive in a regular car, but getting in and out for activities or supplies took some time everyday. Our only wish would have been to have an outdoor table for eating out on the deck because we loved the mountain views and fresh air so much."

Enjoy peaceful creekside solitude at Roho's Cabin - named for the funniest man to ever live in Burke County, NC - Roho, M.D stand up comedian (and my dad).

Tucked down the side of the mountain on 3.43 acres with private access to Upper Creek, relax and unwind in our family cabin then hit one of the many nearby hiking trails. Only 7 miles to the Brown Mountain OHV trails (34 miles of off roading trails) and Brown Mountain Beach Resort, 9 miles to Upper Creek Falls, 12 miles to Wilson’s Creek, 13.5 miles to Hawksbill Mountain, 17 miles to Linville Falls, 18 miles to Table Rock, 24 miles to Grandfather Mountain.

There’s plenty to do in Morganton (20 minutes to downtown) and Lenoir (25 minutes away). Or take a day trip to Banner Elk, Blowing Rock, Boone, Black Mountain, or Asheville - all less than an hour drive.

Neighbors across the creek are cows and donkeys; Daniel Boone Campground neighbors to the North. Steele Creek Park is across 181.

Our Goodland wood burning (soaking) hot tub nestled high under the rocks with a fantastic view of the creek and valley is truly an epic experience, but it is one you must WORK for. The soaking (no jets) hot tub is sanitized and left empty after each stay. You will need to rinse it, fill it with fresh water (pumped from the creek), and then heat the water with a wood fire (unless you prefer a cold plunge!). The process takes from 2.5-5 hours, but the reward is well worth it. It is a unique experience that requires slowing down to enjoy the ritual of building the fire, heating the water and enjoying a chemical free, environmentally friendly soak. Goodland calls it the pursuit of pause - and we highly recommend it.

Up to two dogs allowed with $100 pet fee, subject to approval at time of booking. Please provide the breed and size of your dog(s) when requesting to book and you will be asked to agree to some basic rules to keep your furry friends and Roho's Cabin safe and cozy.

Driveway is narrow and steep - front-wheel drive or all-wheel drive recommended. Drive slowly (and bravely) and you’ll be fine.
Or you can park at the upper parking area and take the stairs down the mountain. Be sure to visit the rock formation using the other set of stairs. All built by Roho when the cabin was his home.

Winter weather warning:
We rarely have ice or snow at the elevation of Roho’s Cabin (it occurs much more frequently about 10 more miles up the mountain), so it is unlikely to occur during your stay.
However- the driveway down to Roho’s Cabin is not drivable if there is snow or ice. The upper portion of the driveway to the upper parking area would likely be drivable in light snow or ice - it is gravel and not as steep, but it will not be scraped/cleared. Parking in the upper parking area means taking the steps (nearly 100 steps) down the mountain to Roho’s Cabin (and back up!) - or walking down the driveway. Please keep this in mind for visits in the winter. If you realize there will be winter weather during your booked days and would like to cancel reschedule, we are happy to accommodate. We don’t want anyone to feel unsafe.

Enjoy the provided linens, towels, and earth friendly products (such as Grove) - naturally derived hair products and soaps, recycled trash bags, etc. Cleaning products used are also earth friendly.

Outdoor items provided include Cornhole, floats, camp chairs, sand toys and water squirters, and giant Jenga.

Or jump on in the water - we have private creek access with a rock path down to the creek. For your safety, shoes should be worn at all times outdoors, including in the creek.

BUGS - there will be bugs! This is the woods with a creek - bugs love it here! (Can you blame them?) Hopefully none make it inside, but please expect them outside and bring your favorite bug repellent!

Security cameras are located on each side of the property to monitor the driveway and primary entrances.

$250 damage deposit/hold and signed rental agreement required.

- "I absolutely loved it!" - "My wife and I stayed at Roho's Cabin for our honeymoon. We found that the location was exactly as described, and better than expected! I did manage to get us lost on the way in because GPS was not accurate and I didn't pay attention. Rechecking the instructions from the host quickly got us back on track though. Once we reached the cabin we found a cozy little place that we both felt right at home in. The river and surrounding woods isolate the area nicely and provide absolutely beautiful morning views. The host communicated with us perfectly and we had no issues at any point in our stay. The only criticism I would offer is to make the driveway a little bit more visible from 181. Otherwise, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay and highly recommend Roho's Cabin to anyone who wants to step back from the rest of the world for a few days! We will certainly be adding it to our list of places to visit again!"

Has enough space for our dog to poop, etc. A couple of the houses on the way "up the mountain" are not well cared for but I've found that's the norm for "the mountains". We'll rebook next time we want to stay near Hickory/Morganton."

High Speed Starlink Internet, Centrally located between Asheville, Boone and Charlotte. Hike, bike, ski, tube-- you can get there with a short drive.

- "We had a wonderful weekend getaway. The cabin was perfect for the two of us. We enjoyed the great view, whether from the rocking chairs on the back porch or the living room couch." - "Enjoyed the stay. We had a minor issue that a wind storm knocked at the internet but I made due. The appliances are in great shape and the host was very open to communicating the challenges and I’m pleased with the outcome. I’ll be back." - "I have stayed at a few of the other homes in this area for work. This one has the best home for the cost. Just be aware that this home is on the mountain side so it is hard to travel to and from town if it snows or ices. Other than that it was a great place."

An adventurer's paradise, this home is located just outside the Linville Gorge Wilderness near Lake James. This log cabin is sure to delight the wild at heart who appreciate the finer things in life. Delightfully decorated with white pine walls in every room, pristine - yet cozy- furnishings, and plenty of space both inside and out for your group, Shortoff Mountain Retreat will be a winner for anyone looking to escape from the pressures of the outside world.

On your way up to the home, be sure to swing by a grocery store in Morganton or Marion for all your essentials to maximize your time for adventuring in this beautiful area. Unload your groceries and ready your daypacks in the spacious and well-designed kitchen with pale granite countertops and stainless steel appliances. You can prepare a quick and delicious crockpot meal that evening or leave it to slow cook all night and day to enjoy when you return home from your adventures the next day. Spend your first night relaxing on the wraparound porch as the sun sets, planning your activities for tomorrow, and playing a round or two of Pacman or Foosball in the game room.

Start your day out early, with a warm-up hike to Wolf Pit trailhead just a half mile from the home. This 1.1-mile point-to-point trail is your entrance to the Linville Gorge Wilderness. Wolf Pit connects to the Shortoff Mountain hike, a 7.7-mile round trip trail, offering stunning views of the Linville Gorge Wilderness and Lake James from their viewpoints. Along the way, stop for a picturesque picnic at any of the vistas. For more intrepid hikers, the Linville Gorge Loop will provide a variety of challenges in its 22 miles. With paths skirting the top of the Gorge and going down to the various falls and rapids, there is plenty of beauty and mystery to be found here. Hike back to home base, take a nap, and ready yourself for the next excursion.

If you're craving some waterbased activities, drive down to either: the Linville Boat Ramp for some good bank fishing, or Paddy's Creek Area on Lake James for access to easy to moderate hiking trails, kayak and paddleboard rentals, swimming area, and boat ramp. Shortoff Mountain Retreat offers 2 inflatable kayaks, 2 inflatable stand-up paddle boards, and life jackets to enhance your time on the water.

Find 15 miles of mountain biking trails at the Paddy's Creek area with the Tindo and Wimba loops rated for beginners and intermediate riders respectively. The Fonta Flora trail at Greenlee Park is an easy 1.1-mile nature loop offering kayak/canoe/tube access points along with a covered picnic area. Take a 35-minute drive to reach Brown Mountain OHV Trail System (the only area in Pisgah that is open to OHVs like ATVs, 4-wheel drive vehicles, and trail bikes). After a full day of outdoor adventure, head home to Shortoff Mountain Retreat to take advantage of the outdoor shower.

Plan a day of exploring the greater Asheville area to take in the art, shops, restaurants, and breweries that will enhance your experience of WNC. With downtown Asheville and Biltmore Estate just over an hour away, there is plenty to see and do on your “big city” day. First thing in the morning swing into Ingenious Coffee Roasters in Marion to start your day off right with a delicious coffee and handmade treat before making your way up the mountain to Black Mountain and Asheville. Browse artisan galleries and carefully curated shops in downtown or the River Arts District before heading to Biltmore Estate for your house and garden tour.

- "Beautifully situated home with gorgeous views. Easily accommodated multiple family members and enough space for everyone to enjoy. The cabin is 2.2 miles up a gravel road that my family has been driving up to go hiking for years. My parents made the drive in a Honda Minivan, as long as you don't have a sports car and drive carefully, it is totally worth the effort! Peace and quiet and mountains!!" - "This cabin was such an awesome place for my friends and I to stay! It is new, clean and boasted a beautiful location. You really can’t ask for better when it comes to a weekend mountain get away."

- "Perfect cabin for two high up on the mountain for quiet and solitude. Setting is amazing! Everything that you need is available in the cabin plus a hot tub and very large deck with a screened in section complete with rocking chairs to sit and enjoy the view. We thoroughly enjoyed our time in the cabin and also exploring the town of Morganton, the Catawba River Greenway, and a local cider mill. The owner was very easy to communicate with. Highly recommend!"

From coffee grinder to espresso machine, everything you need for a cup of coffee to enjoy the morning on the deck overlooking the foothills of NC is provided.

If you want someplace to escape and write a book, this should be on your list of places! Recommend for anyone that wants to get away."
