About this property

This beautifully decorated log cabin is located on a rural mountaintop and surrounded by forests, laurel thickets, and many varieties of wildlife. Enjoy many outdoors activities such as hiking the Appalachian Trail, exploring the wild horse colonies of Grayson Highlands State Park (called the 'sweetest miles of the AT [Appalachian Trail]' by Backpacker Magazine, August 2007), or taking a drive along the Blue Ridge Parkway. There are stocked trout streams and many historical places in the surrounding areas to explore.

The kitchen is well equipped and all linens are provided. Relax on the big wrap around porches as dusk falls or as the sun rises over the crest and enjoy nature at its finest as the turkeys fly over the ridge, or the deer emerge from their resting places in the laurels. Don't forget your camera!

All automobile drivers are encouraged to use a low gear and a steady moderate pace to approach the cabin. The driveway for this cabin is gravel, fairly straight, and has about a 30 degree incline. There is also a water break two thirds of the way up the hill. We encourage motorcycle riders to seriously consider this before booking this cabin.

Just Wonderful

We stayed here years ago when our kids were young and it has always held a special place in our memories. Now, 9 years later, we’ve made more incredible memories to hold on to as our children are transitioning into adulthood. Everything you need is here, including incredibly comfortable beds, very hot water, and beautiful wood burner. Thank you for sharing your home with us once more and hopefully more in the future!

Troutdale mountain house

We all enjoyed our stay there. The house was very clean and had everything you needed. Loved the fact that we were the only house and could make all the noise from laughing. We do get loud as we play games. Thank you for allowing us to stay in your house.

What beautiful mountain views.

Feels like being hugged by the forest. The house is beautiful and well appointed. Kitchen has everything there to cook with and so easy to navigate. House is so well organized and no guessing where to find anything. So much space for a family and friends. WiFi works great. No cell service but if your phone works on WiFi you can do that. Very clean and well kept home. We enjoyed our stay. Owners are very courteous and responsive.

About the host

Hosted by Dianne Johnston

My sister and I live in two distant cities in North Carolina. We have always been great friends growing up, but owning this house together has made us even closer.

We hope this house will bring your and your family closer together too.

Why they chose this property

My sister and I inherited this house from my mom and dad not long after they built it.

We have some great family memories of this log cabin retreat, and hope you will soon too!

What makes this property unique

It is wonderful to get away from it all. If you are tired of the hustle and bustle of urban life, this is the place to come to rest and restore your soul. Our guests often tell us it is one of the most refreshing vacations they have ever had. We know it will be the same for you.
