About this property

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!

Seclusion & Tranquility

This is my second stay at the cottage and will keep coming back until I find my own piece of mountain paradise! Equipped with everything you need for a short, or 30 day stays like me! The new pergo-like floors are elegant and the upgrade to Starlink satellite internet is excellent for remote working.The property is secluded & peaceful, gorgeous in the fall and just as lovely in the summer with the lush surrounding greenery. Love the cozy front porch to just sit and relax with the sounds of nature and wind chimes, or watch the stars and fireflies enjoying the cooler temps at night. Top it off with amazing hosts Kim and Art... they are the best :) You will love your stay here!

Roan Mountain retreat

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!

Great stay!

This rental was perfect for our short stay in Roan Mountain. It was the first time we have been able to bring our dogs along with us on an overnight trip. The home was clean, well equipped, and had plenty of outdoor space for our dogs to explore.

Serenity & Seclusion to my Heart's Content!

Wow! The cottage & surrounding property are magnificent & everything you could possibly desire for a secluded getaway. From the moment we (me & pup) drove up the private gravel driveway, I knew it was exactly what I wanted for my 30 day stay while working remotely. Quiet, peaceful, serene with no neighbors in sight other than the wild turkeys & visiting deer which you could watch from the front porch. The cottage is decorated simply in good taste with attention to details, furnished comfortably and equipped with full kitchen amenities which was perfect for my every day cooking and became "my home away from home." This place is treated like a home, not a rental. Comfy mattress, lovely electric fireplace adding to the mountain vibe, perfect sized TV for the space, plenty of hot water, central A/C & heat kept us comfortable at all times. My pup loved roaming around the property and our daily walks even up/down the driveway scrunching fall leaves by the creek became an adventure. I could go on and on... needless to say LOVED every single minute of our stay and felt a twang of sadness as we prepared to leave just a couple days ago. Kim & Art are wonderful hosts, just a text/call away, attentive to every need, treated us more like friends than visitors and provided excellent resources for discovering NE TN. I am grateful to have found them & their lovely cottage & will be returning as much as possible. Wishing them all the best and looking forward to seeing them again! Pat & Keeko

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!

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.

Tennessee mountain getaway

Just returned from a week in Roan Mountain, tri-cities area of Tennessee, Blue Ridge mountains. Absolutely beautiful country with amazing mountain views and plenty to do- hiking, rafting, camping, touring quaint, historic towns, listening to great music... We loved the cozy cottage we stayed in. Kim and Art are great hosts who went out of their way to make our stay pleasant. The cottage is located off Roan Mountain Rd. The setting is private and peaceful. Our dogs loved the grassy area to run around off leash. The cottage was spotless and decorated in a charming country style. We had a great time and look forward to returning in the near future! We highly recommend this VRBO site.

Small enough to feel cozy but not big enough to feel cramped. The kitchen had pretty much every basic utensil. The property is well kept and looks great. Just a fantastic little place to stay.

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.

Centrally located oasis

House is super cute. Off the main road, surrounded by an open well maintained grass lawn then trees. Created a private sanctuary - great for kids or dogs to run around. The house was well equipped, cute and cozy. Nice they have washer and dryer (with soap for one load). One room slightly larger than the other but both sufficiently sized to be comfortable. Outside fireplace and inside a cozy electric(screened) fire display that has to option of giving out heat. My friend and I loved every minute. In bad or icy/snow conditions/ 4 wheel advised to navigate the driveway. Roan gets bey dark at night- best to arrive the first time before dark. Love it. I look forward to going back.

About the host

Hosted by Kim and Art Fitzgerald

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.
