- "This is easily one of the best VRBO rentals we've ever done among many over the years internationally and throughout the U.S. To say it is inviting and welcoming is an understatement - from the moment you cross the threshold into this beautiful "Barndo" I'm confident you'll feel as we did, just wanting to experience the amazing mountain views from every comfortable chair, to hunker down with a book or listen to music. The living areas are incredibly well-appointed, the furniture comfortable, the space truly amazing with points of interest inside and out. You'll want for nothing as the owner has anticipated all of your needs, from extra linens to snacks, and and every kitchen utensil you may desire and I love not having to pack as much bc of the full size W/D. I'm mad for the color scheme, artwork and the plants which make the environment so engaging and alive. We stayed at this property for over 10-days during the fall, prior to it being listed on VRBO so we became familiar with the surroundings that offer so SO much to do from hiking the property to adventuring out to the ATX and amazing national forests within minutes, or investigating local dining. We had to work during this overnight and the free wifi made it a breeze (better than home!) No review would be complete without mentioning the vistas and the sounds that envelope you. The creek provides a constant, rhythmic soundtrack and peace and calm are constant companions. The host is a joy as is this property. "

- "This place was amazing…..we have rented several cabins over the years but this one was far superior to any place we stayed previously. Everything was to perfection, Hope is a wonderful host. She was very responsive to any questions or needs and just a down right pleasure to deal with. We wanted a place to take out two granddaughters that would expose them to a simply more basic way of life and to experience nature at it finest. We discovered that and more…..Hope has missed nothing in her furnishings and supplying of this cabin. She clear takes a great deal of pride in her property and the decor, which includes a lot of her family history made this cabin seem like home right from the first minute we entered…..it just felt like home. Thank you so much for you hospitality Hope….we will certainly be returning!"

The location of the property and the amenities makes this the best location for us whenever we are in the area." - "The home and surrounding area are beautiful!

Welcome to our cozy cottage set on 14 acres of quiet, secluded land in the beautiful Appalachian Trail community of Roan Mountain, TN. Enjoy the sights and sounds of wildlife as you sit on the front porch and take in the peaceful nature all around. Spend time just relaxing or jump into the many activities near by including hiking, fishing, snow skiing and tubbing, antique shopping, golfing, ATV riding and zip lines, vineyards, Watauga Lake, Grandfather Mountain, rafting, exploring the caverns, Bristol races, area festivals, and much more. We are just minutes from Roan Mountain State park and the Appalachian Trail that offer many hikes and beautiful views. We are also close proximity to Banner Elk, Boone, Bristol, Johnson City and many other exciting locations with lots to do and see.

Our cottage sleeps 4 comfortably with a queen bed in one bedroom and a full bed in the second bedroom. The family room is the perfect place to gather and relax while watching our smart TV, playing games, or working on a puzzle. Phone and TV are through Wi-Fi only and work off of a satellite. The Kitchen is fully equipped, or if you would rather grill, we have a gas grill right outside on the porch. For dessert feel free to cozy up by the firepit and make some yummy smores while enjoying late night chats or even some fire side songs.

All seasons are beautiful here and we hope your stay is full of great memories and a time of renewal and relaxation.

- "The cottage was clean, neat, and with subtle home-like decor, but no clutter. It is super quiet, and evenings around the firepit were a delight; easy access to Roan Mountain and the Tri-City area. We were greeted on arrival by a goodie basket and smores gear, left by our hosts; they also left goodies for our Golden Retriever, Boomer, and a personalized note wishing us a Happy Anniversary. I very much doubt that we could have picked a better place."

Beautifully renovated cabin located on Roan Mountain with a view from the balcony & second bedroom. Able to sleep 4 adults with two queen beds and two full bathrooms or 6 people utilizing the pull out sofa. One bathroom is private, attached to the master, and the other has dual entrance with the second bedroom and the hallway. The second bedroom however has the best view of the mountain out the large sliding doors which leads out onto the balcony. The kitchen is fully outfitted with everything you would need to cook whenever you don't feel like going to the base of the mountain to the multiple local restaurants. A cozy sunken living room has the pull out couch to accommodate more family members. We've outfitted the living room with a tv, DVD player, a small collection of movies, and some family games. Though we don’t have cable, the DVD player allows you to stream from your Netflix or Amazon account. Down the stairs is the den where you will find the washer and dryer with allergy friendly detergent. The stairs has a retractable baby gate at the top (please use caution still as there is a small gap). You can access the fire pit easiest from downstairs. S'mores fan? It's a great place to relax with the family in the evening and still have a great view of the landscape. Be sure to check out the windows during your stay. We've seen a little fawn resting in the grass, as well as goats grazing, a chipmunk, and many birds darting around the trees. The cabin is my favorite place to relax with a good book, or tell days gone by stories with my family. At the top of the mountain you'll find the Appalachian trail and the renowned Rhododendron Gardens (best in bloom the month of June) or Beech Mountain for some skiing and sledding. Along the mountain are many trails and a historic homestead. Roan Mountain is located within about 30 minutes of Elizabethton, Johnson City and on the border of North Carolina's Elk Park. There's a little something for everyone in the family. Antiquing, city night life, hiking, skiing, and exploring the great outdoors, or relaxing indoors and out at the cabin. I think this part of Tennessee will become a favorite vacation spot year after year for you and your family.

- "Excellent" - "The house is great with amazing views, the location is perfect if you like outdoor activities and being away from it all. Roan Mountain State park is around the corner and so is Cherokee National Forrest. Great trails whitin minutes. Beautfull river to walk along. Only 45 mins to the ski resorts and other larger towns. Will def be coming back. Such a beautiful area." - "This property has a beautiful view. The owner was fast with all response’s. The cabin was super clean. Beds were very comfortable. We even had snow and was able to play in the yard."

Tucked away behind the trees on the side of a mountain. 1 BR with a loft used as the 2nd BR and 1 full bath. Wrap around covered porch with porch swing, fire pit, picnic table, and moss covered bridge.

- "Lots to do and not do if you prefer." - "Will definitely plan to return to this amazing cabin in the woods. Had a great time and got to relax and rejuvenate from daily life." - "This cabin was great. It was cozy and had everything we needed to stay warm (it was in the negatives 🥶) Tara was very responsive to our needs. It was really a great little mountain spot. Would love to come back and see it in the spring time." - "We loved staying here. It was such a cute cabin and so quiet and relaxing!"

The Mountain House is located on the highlands of the Roan in beautiful Roan Mountain, Tennessee.

Our Mountain House is at 4200 feet elevation, overlooking the beautiful Heaton Creek valley. Full length covered porches and plenty of comfortable chairs offer majestic mountain and valley views and great opportunities to enjoy our cool mountain breezes.

Because of the 4200+ feet elevation we recommend 4 WHEEL DRIVE vehicles for visits during November thru February. The state keeps Highway 143 fairly clean and the county usually plows Log Cabin Lane by noonish after a snowfall but there will still be some snow on the road and of course in the driveway. Having said that, it's absolutely beautiful at The Mountain House during and after a snowfall.

The Cherokee National Forest is a few hundred yards away in most directions and, as the crow flies, the Appalachian trail is less than 2 miles away. By road, Carvers Gap, and the Rhododendron Gardens are 3 miles. The Mountain House is minutes above the Roan Mountain State Park which offers swimming pool, tennis courts, camping, hiking, and fishing. Actually, several hundred miles of trout fishing streams (including the trophy trout designated Watauga river) are within a 30 mile radius.

We are conveniently located just 35 minutes away from the ski resorts, restaurants, and shopping of Banner Elk, Boone, and Blowing Rock, North Carolina.

If you are sitting on our back porch enjoying the view, Nascar racing will seem a world away. In fact, the Bristol Raceway is a pleasant 50 minute drive away.

We've made our Mountain House comfortable and cozy. You will feel right at home, and will want to come back often.

We hope you come visit,
Richard and Martha

- "The cabin was exactly as listed and had breath taking views of the mountain range. We traveled to Sugar Mountain to ski over our stay and the roads were safe for travel granted the weather was around freezing most of the trip. Per the owners, a four-wheel drive/front wheel drive vehicle is a must during the winter during freezing/snowing weather as the local neighborhood road is not cleaned as regular as the state road. My overall rating of this property is 9 out of 10. There were a few items that could be updated; however, I highly recommend."

Green Earth Mountain Retreat offers a secluded 2 bedroom, 2 bath cabin with many guests describing it as a luxury tree house. Enjoy the spectacular view of the Roan Highlands through wall to wall glass doors, or from the spacious wrap-around deck with displays of edible herbs and flowers for your culinary use, while experiencing the joy of an occasional visit from our deer friends in our wildlife refuge. A 3 hour log is in the fireplace/stove, along with plenty of seasoned wood for a cozy fire, and you'll look forward to ending your day in the comfortable luxury 'Sealy Back-Saver Beds' (king or twin). Complimentary delicious organic apple juice, distilled water, coffee, organic Castile soaps, paper towels, toilet paper and other amenities provided. Weekly guests enjoy the complimentary edible and medicinal herb walks.

The 2 bedroom, 2 bath cabin is only a short walk to the Appalachian Trail on one of the highest (6,285 feet) and most scenic mountains in the Eastern U.S. Take a hike on the beautiful Appalachian Trail meandering along the summit of the breathtaking Roan Highlands, offering stunning 360 degree views of endless peaks over 5,000 feet with the largest natural stand of pink and purple Catawba rhododendron in the world. The cabin is located on 19 private acres surrounded by Cherokee National Forest and just over 2 miles from Roan Mountain State Park Resort, which offers day and evening tennis, paddle ball, volley ball, swimming pool, trout fishing, nature walks, hiking trails, programmed activities, amphitheater and conference center. You are only a short drive to Beech Mountain Ski Resort, Grandfather Mountain, The Blue Ridge Parkway, Banner Elk, Linville Falls, Penland School of Crafts and much, much more.

- "The living room of this cottage looks out, through a wall of glass windows and doors, onto a spacious deck and the distant ridges of Roan Mountain. Overall, it is exceptionally well equipped and furnished. In late July, the air felt cool, fresh and breezy. There are many wonderful hiking trails within easy reach, but the cottage and deck make such an enjoyable retreat to return to. The host, Linda, lives close enough to respond right away to any needs or questions. After an idyllic week's stay, we hope to visit again."
