Always a pleasure...

We've stayed at one of Debbie's properties several times before and loved it. This was our first time "on the farm" at Mammaw's Place and again, it was wonderful - even a little magical! We will be staying here again without a doubt.

Pleasant Stay

House was as described. Our son was participating in a paramotor fly in that was held at the Johnson County Airport which was an easy 10 minute drive from the home. If the house is available the next time we are in Mountain City, we would not hesitate to stay here again.

Comfortable stay & charming little country house.

Honestly, we only accessed the house at night. Beds were comfy and host was really good to accommodate our specific needs. We were part of a men's team and our accommodations at a local hotel were canceled so repair contractors coming into the are had a place to stay. We come up twice a year to minister to the inmates at the local penitentiary. Debbie I will probably call you in the spring to book again. Thanks. We enjoyed Mamaw's place much better than the local hotel.

Felt like we were family!

From check in to our amazing nights rest we felt welcomed and part of the family. We will one day be neighbors, but Debbie made us feel like family. We loved seeing the cow and chickens in the mornings. Debbie had a welcome sign in the kitchen with our names on it... lovely touch. When my husband lost his phone Debbie went above and beyond and helped us find it. Mountain City and the surrounding towns were hit hard with Helene, but they are rebuilding and will be better than ever. We will be back very soon. Thank you, Debbie!

Perfect Mountain Getaway

The house was perfect for our weekend of decompressing and the farm animals added a charming touch. We couldn’t have asked for a better host. Debbie went above and beyond, provided detailed instructions and even shared a list of local events, links and dining options that would suit our needs based on the information we provided. We highly recommend this experience!

Bristol Race Stay

Our family had a great time this weekend. House was so clean, accurate to the listing. Debbie is so nice & kind, allowed our 5 year old to visit with the animals, he loved the chickens! This location was perfect for us as we went to the NASCAR race in Bristol. Grocery & diners along with quick & easy food options very close to house! Scenery is great! We will definitely be returning next year!

Home away from Home

This was the best stay we have had. Debbie’s home was warm and delightful. It felt so peaceful from the first step in until the last step out. We were treated with such care. Debbie went above and beyond any host we have had so far. She should get the VRBO best stay award for the year. The house is clean and perfect for 2-3 people. What a great to star a new Season. Thank you Debbie for making our first time in Mountain City a time we will never forget.

Best Place to relax and unwind!

If you need to get away from the hustle and bustle, this is the place for you! It was quiet enough that I slept like a rock! The best rest I’ve had in a long time. Debbie had coffee along with creamer and sugar available to use. The kitchen has everything you need to cook. The best is that it has stainless steel pots so you’re not having to worry about nonstick being all scratched up to the point you can’t use it. We enjoyed watching the farm animals each morning while drinking coffee. Debbie was great to help if needed and make suggestions for the area. We have stayed in numerous Vrbo rentals. By far, this was the best place we have ever stayed and we will definitely be back.

Peaceful location and great host

We had a great stay. The home is on a working farm just a few minutes from town. We enjoyed watching the goats, sheep, cows, chickens, and bees. The chickens would run up to the fence whenever they saw us. The house is an old farmhouse, complete with creaky wooden floors, which we loved. We traveled around a lot during our stay, visiting Damascus (VA creeper trail), Abington, Banner Elk, Elk Park, Boone, and Erwin. All are within about a 1 hour drive. Debbie was very helpful finding some local fall festivals for us.

Nice Place

Mid-May, 2024. Clean, neat house. Plenty of room in each room. Everything electronic worked. 3 complaints: (1) The map location on Vrbo (pre-booking) was misleading as it appeared to be much closer to the center of town and our daily destination (out Church St./Divide Rd.) than it actually was. The actual location was about twice as far from out daily destination as we thought it would be. (2) The entry instructions were confusing, so we had to call the owner upon arrival (lucky we had cell service). (3) The top sheet on the queen bed seemed like a double bed sheet, as it was not wide enough to cover two people. Aside from these three things, we enjoyed our stay at the house and would recommend it.

No words capture this place

Every entry in the guest book raves about the animals, the scenery, the cleanliness, the hosts, the local people. I'll try, but anything I say will fall short of capturing how much we enjoyed staying at Mamaw's. The first thing that strikes you is that the place is spotless. Like hospital clean. Debbie and Bob treated us more like family than inn keepers. It's an old farmhouse so it has quirks. Those are cool. But there is plenty of hot water and water pressure. And the water is from a natural spring. (Be advised, hard water does not suds up!) You will RELAX here. Play with the dogs. Let the chickens in or out (and get harassed by the rooster!) Visit the goats. The steers, not so much. They will ignore you. Rainy day? Play a game or read a book from one of the cabinets. Full kitchen, microwave, coffee pot (pour through type, not Keurig) Everyone here and in town is so nice you will never want to leave. Bring your passwords for the smart TV apps. Laptop with HDMI port? I left you a cable to hook in! I know you will love it as much as we did... Just don't be renting the place when we want to come back!
