Welcome to the Hillbilly
Hideaway!
|
vacation living in Roan Mountain,
Tennessee
|
 |
You are cordially invited to
spend a relaxing mountain vacation with us at the Hillbilly Hideaway,
a lovely antique log cabin in the pastoral setting of Roan Mountain,
Tennessee. Experience the rustic charm of this two bedroom cabin
constructed from authentic hand-hewn 150+ year old antique logs.
Prepare meals in our fully-equipped kitchen, or indulge yourself
with available catered meals. Provide our staff with your list
of provisions, and for a nominal fee our personal shopper will
make sure you are stocked and ready upon arrival! Soak up lazy
afternoons or evenings in the hot tub overlooking a rushing mountain
creek in a wooded setting. Hike the Appalachian Trail, or choose
to explore the trails right here on our private 14 acre retreat.
Test your fly fishing skills in the Doe River a mere 1/4 mile
up the road (Flyfishing
lessons are available by local fishing pros).
Bristol Race fans when you stay at the Hillbilly Hideaway, you're
a mere 20 minutes from the Bristol
Motor Speedway...but just far enough
away that you won't have to deal with all the race traffic if
you go out for a night on the town afterward! Bristol is also
home to the Rhythm
& Roots Music Festival...not to
be missed! We are centrally located to numerous High Country
attractions and festivals: 25 minutes away from snow skiing in
Banner Elk, or water skiing at Watauga Lake; 50 minutes to Tweetsie Railroad,
North Carolina's original family theme park; 15 minutes to the
Appalachian Trail head; 30 minutes from whitewater rafting; choose
golfing opportunities in Elizabethton or Banner Elk -each are
a mere 20 minutes away; in October, choose from the Woolly Worm Festival in Banner Elk, the Valle Crucis Country Fair,
or home football games at "The Rock" home to Appalachian
State University's back-to-back-to-back three-time NCAA football
championship team! Spend a day antique shopping in historic downtown
Elizabethton, home of the covered bridge. Enjoy exotic Thai cuisine
from the Thai-Am roadside eatery, minutes away on route 19-E.

Watauga Lake, at the top of the mountains,
is enchanting as well as abundant in recreational opportunities.
Excellent fishing for several varieties of trout, muskie, bass,
and other species. Boating, water skiing, swimming, picnicking
and camping facilities are available.
The Covered Bridge in Elizabethton is one of the few historic
covered bridges remaining in the US and is still in use today.
The bridge, built in 1882, is surrounded by a mini-park. The
Covered Bridge Celebration is held the 3rd week in June.
Sycamore Shoals State Historic Park was witness to earth-shaking
events in America's history. The park houses Fort Watauga, a
visitors center, museum, and films on area history. Tennessee's
Official Outdoor Drama, The Wataugans, is presented here Thursdays
through Saturdays at 7:30 p.m., the last three weekends in July.
This drama tells the story of the "Overmountains Men"
and our Revolutionary War turning point, the Battle of Kings
Mountain. There is an admission charge.
The 1780 Carter Mansion, recognized
to be the oldest frame house in Tennessee, a part of the State
Historic Area, is located three miles north of the re-constructed
Fort Watauga, and is open for tours. Many musical and cultural
events are scheduled here.
Autumn on Roan Mountain is truly unequalled. Panoramic views
of the awe inspiring colors of Fall...as they splash on our surrounding
mountains is something to be seen. Peak leaf colors are usually
October 10 to 20th.
Spring and Summer in the mountains in and around Roan Mountain
brings out the wildlife in abundance. Hiking, mountain biking
and outdoor fun is the 'order of the day'. Snow falls bring out
the sleds and tubes for enjoying the snow with the entire family!
Cross country skiing in the South's deepest natural snow atop
Roan Mountain is open to the public throughout the winter. The
Appalachian Trail, meandering across the highlands of the Roan,
takes the hiker through the largest expanse of grass open lands
in the Southern Appalachians.
