 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. Escape the rat race here in the rustic charm of this two bedroom cabin constructed from authentic hand-hewn 150+ year old antique logs. Watch the deer from the wraparound decks and porches or 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. Wet a line in the private fishing pond on the property, or test your fly fishing skills in the Doe River a mere 1/4 mile up the road

 

 area restaurants we recommend (in no particular order)

 The Gamekeeper, Banner Elk NC

You haven’t fully experienced the region until you’ve dined at The Gamekeeper. It’s a true gourmet restaurant, with the perfect blend of upscale elegance and simple mountain charm. The staff is top notch and very attentive. The restaurant is a favorite destination of both locals and visitors that never fails to make any trip, anniversary or event more special.

The Gamekeeper is famous for Southern favorites - ultimate in comfort food - prepared with creativity and originality, offered through an evolving seasonal menu that blends the traditional with the exotic, satisfying both the meat lover and the vegetarian.

 Zuzda Tapas Restaurant, Banner Elk NC

With an almost 100-item selection, Chef and owner Doug Usko has taken the philosophy that any food that can be prepared, can be prepared tapas-style. A sampling of the diverse menu includes escargot, sesame-seared tuna sashimi, saffron paella, mushroom ragout, sautéed squid steak, tempura lobster tail and a leek – and- gruyere flan. Or if you’re in the mood for something more basic, there are fish fingers, fried cheese ravioli, steamed clams, barbecue applewood bacon-wrapped shrimp, grits and cheese, shredded barbecue pork, black bean cake and grilled salmon.

Fatz Cafe Elizabethton Tn 

At Fatz Cafe, our plan is simple: great food in generous portions served in a relaxed, comfortable setting by friendly people. Our commitment to the quality of the food and service we deliver is unwavering, and we take that commitment seriously. But we don't take ourselves too seriously. We're not real big, and we're not real fancy. We're a medium-sized private company, led by operating partners who care about their restaurants and their communities. We've got a great team, great chemistry, and an exceptional spirit, and we love what we do and have fun doing it.

El Torito Mexican Grill, Elizabethton TN

I love this place. The food is excellent. The prices are great. The people working there are very friendly.

 Captain's Table/Lakeshore Marina, Hampton TN

The Captain's Table specializes in seafood and also serves tasty steaks, chicken and specials of the day such as crab cakes, barbecue ribs, seafood platter and fresh fried oysters.

The Captain's Table is open March through October, Wednesday through Sunday. We are closed Monday and Tuesday and open Wednesday and Thursdays at 4pm and Friday, Saturday and Sunday at 11am.

 Cootie Brown's Real Food, Johnson City TN

You gotta see this place to believe it! All the fixtures are recycled, in one of the most visually busy establishments I have ever seen. The menu includes everything from sandwiches to pizza to burritos, and the prices are great! Extensive Beer list.

 State Line Bar & Grill, Bristol TN/VA

The State Line Bar & Grill offers American food as well as a full service bar and nightly entertainment. Telephone: (276) 652-0792

 Cafe One 11, Johnson City TN


This is a great restaurant for sushi and other asian seafood dishes. Service is slow at times, but the food is worth the wait.

 The Big Orange, Fall Branch TN

Off the beaten path and a bit of a drive, but worth it for one of Fred Ferguson's monster cheeseburgers...really, the thing must weigh 20 pounds. Darts and wide screen tv, with the coldest beer around.

 The Cottage, Johnson City TN

Specializing in chicken and hamburgers, the Cottage offers great American food.

 Thai-Am, Roan Mountain TN

The best Thai food I have ever eaten...and less than 5 miles from the Hideaway! Call ahead, because at this best-kept secret they are apt to run out of food before they run out of customers! 5925 HWY 19E Hampton, TN 423-725-3424
