About this property
Hounds Retreat Pet Friendly, Wood Fireplace, HotTub, WiFi, Decks
Welcome to Hounds Retreat (formerly Mountain Memories), a charming log cabin nestled in the mountains of Leatherwood, overlooking scenic Meadow Road. Perfect for a romantic escape or family getaway, this peaceful retreat invites you to relax in rocking chairs or a porch swing as birds sing and a nearby creek flows gently through the meadow below.
Enjoy breathtaking views on horseback or while hiking, then return to the cozy cabin to cook in the fully equipped kitchen or grill dinner on the deck. End your day with a soak in the hot tub or a movie on the HDTVs. Day trips to Boone or Blowing Rock are just a short drive away, offering fun for all ages.
At Hounds Retreat, it’s not just a vacation—it’s a place where lasting memories are made.
