About this property

Serenity and Seclusion in Roan Mountain, TN

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.

Return Over & Over

I've had the pleasure of staying at Kim & Art's quaint and secluded cottage again and again. Love the place as my home away from home as well as the hosts... would not think of going elsewhere. As a remote worker, I have all that I need for my month long stays, great Starlink service, comfy beds, kitchenware and solitude. Check-in is a breeze with the key lock box on site. I will be back soon!

Amazing Weekend Getaway

Great cabin in the mountains, perfect space for my boyfriend and I with our dog. Lots of space for our dog to run and great change of scenery from our downtown apartment living. Trails are not far and a very easy drive! The cabin had everything we needed to make it a relaxing getaway, would definitely go back again!

Just back from a spring getaway to beautiful Roan Mountain. This was our second stay at Kim and Art's lovely mountain cottage. Had a great time hiking with our dogs, who loved being off leash at the property. The cottage is clean, cozy and artfully decorated. Our hosts were warm and welcoming. We look forward to our next visit!

Loved everything about the place, tolal peace and quiet we loved it

Totally loved the area and the cottage, the way its tucked back in the cove was great. It only 1 mile from a main road but you had to listen close to ever hear any traffic go by it was great. We was just glad that we brought some of our own firewood the milk create of wood barely got us started.

Roan Mountain Getaway

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.

Our Roan Mountain trip

The cabin was wonderful. Neat, clean, well appointed. We loved the privacy and quietness of the property. It was very relaxing after a day of riding our motorcycles in the mountains. That brings me to my only complaint. I would've given a five star review, but that driveway. It was too narrow and the combination of gravel and grass made it hard to get up. The fact that it was raining when we arrived made it that much worse and slippery. Overall, we loved our stay and i highly recommend this property. Just beware of the driveway if you're on a motorcycle or low slung sports car.

Response from VrboOwner on 24 June 2025
We are sorry to hear that the driveway was difficult for your motorcycles and thank you for letting us know so that we can inform other motorcyclists in the future. We hope the beautiful scenery and quiet retreat of your trip far outweighed any difficulties. Thanks again you again for staying with us and taking great care of our cottage!

About the host

Hosted by Kim and Art Fitzgerald

Host profile image
We have always loved the mountains and have recently decided to live out our dream of moving to the mountains permanently. After searching many years we finally found our home in the beautiful area of Roan Mountain. There is so much to do here since we are close to hiking, fishing, boating, skiing, rafting, numerous festivals, car races, rodeos, golf, college football games and so much more. There is something to do year round and we have only just begun to explore the area. We hope you come and explore the beauty and activities of Roan Mountain and the surrounding areas. We live close by in case there are any problems or you need assistance with anything. Thank you and we hope to see you soon.
