Vineyard Cabin

This cute little cabin is located within a charming vineyard and great mountain location. The Roaring River Vineyard also has a restaurant, a lodge with 3 other rooms to rent, hot tub, event hall and a relaxing roaring river. Owner was so nice and made sure we were good and this location is near many other vineyards to visit! Highly recommend!

Studio suite

Need to fix the fan it has one speed only and the speed is slow. The tv didn’t work the first night. Couldn’t connect to the internet but then got in touch with the owner and she came down and fixed it.

Serendipitous

Everything was exactly as advertised - clean, cozy, and fully stocked with everything you need for a nice break from the grind. The cabin was idyllic and in a peaceful, quiet area (while being close enough to town that you can easily pick up anything you want that isn’t provided). The area does have poor mobile/cell service but in my opinion, that’s an upside. Host does offer free wifi so if you must be connected, that’s an option. Highly recommend.

Great place to stay for getaway or area events

We went to celebrate a birthday and visit wineries. Found some cool shops in the area and beautiful countryside. The cabins are well kept and have lovely owners that live on-property. It is so nice to be by the river and have an on-property restaurant as well. Tons of great wineries in the area. This stay exceeded our expectations.

Tranquility and serenity are just two qualities found here.

Incredible....front yard is a beautiful river and the backyard is a vineyard. If you fo not feel "you are away from it all" there must be something wrong with you.

Mildew smell

Property was great but there is a very strong mildew smell. Once the AC unit ran for 24 hours it got much better but very strong when you first get to the cabin. directions to get back to the cabin are very confusing! We ended up at the private residence on the property based off the directions. Maybe revisit the explanation of those. Otherwise it was great!

Adventures on a mountain side winery.

Our cabin, Serendipity, was a cozy abode. It had everything needed especially a very comfortable bed. It was steps to the Roaring River, where we were en tuned to nature while sharing a delicious bottle of Rose from the winery. The hosts were friendly and helpful. They shared the history of their property. They encouraged us to walk the trails around the vineyard. There were interesting secrets along the trails. We especially enjoyed the vineyard dogs, who greeted us each time they passed by.

About the host

Hosted by Josephine Silvey

Host profile image
Josephine speaking: I was born in France of German parents, and moved to the States when I was 15 years. Graduated from San Jose State University with BS in Business Administration. I worked for IBM for 17 years, and was transferred about every 3 years to a new location, including oversees assignment in Tokyo, Japan for 3 years. After that, I worked in Mergers & Acquisitions (M&A) at First Union Bank (now Wells Fargo Bank). My husband and I now live on our vineyard.
Tom Silvey's Speaking: I am from Harriman, TN and grew up on my beloved mountains, overlooking a beautiful lake. I graduated from Le Tourneau University with an Engineering degree, and have been working for Westinghouse which later became Siemens. I had to work on numerous projects which required extensive travel abroad (China, Japan and in Europe). I developed a taste for traveling and was happy that Josephine loves traveling as well.
Josephine and I met in Charlotte and got married in 1993. Both of us were married before so we blended our children into our new family (Josephine‘s daughter and my two daughters and son). We are now empty-nesters, but the family keeps growing with the addition of grandchildren, three grand-sons, and two grand-daughters so fa. Since acquiring the vineyard, we have traveled extensively to wine growing regions to develop our knowledge of viticulture and enology. Our knowledge must include best practices used, not only in our region, but also in other parts of the world.

Why they chose this property

The setting of this property is gorgeous and reminiscent of French riverbank hillside vineyards. We knew we had a gem as soon as we saw the property, and soon after that the dream was born. We wanted others to discover what we had found, an area rich in history, of moonshine and NASCAR, close to Stone Mountain State Park, the Blue Ridge Mountains, and dotted with many wineries along the NC Wine Route. People come here from all over to enjoy the foliage in fall, to hike, fish, hunt, and partake of all the things the region has to offer. We are in the country but close to both Winston-Salem, Greensboro, Charlotte and to the VA border. Recommended for adults, romantic getaways, sports retreat, and economic getaway.

What makes this property unique

You have the opportunity to stay in lovely cabin just feet from the river. The cabin is located on on a 50-acre estate, at the Roaring River Vineyards. You enter the property through an elegant stone entrance, with two fishing ponds on each side, and see the vineyards going up the slope in front of you. You follow the directional signs up a the access road, first passing a large mountain home, and the event venue called 'The Gathering Place' to the cabin on the river bank literally just 20 feet away from the Roaring River. Nearby are the ruins of the dam that served the gristmill and sawmill across the river. The miller's cabin (17930 is still intact and we hope to refurbish it in the near future. The Gathering Place's indoor site can be rented for events or for guest use when they rent all the available units and wish to eat and spend time together. The beauty of the setting slowly registers with you, as you take in the view. You hear the sounds of the river cascading over large boulders, and the next thing you know you’re fishing and hoping to catch that “prize winning” trout. If you are not in the mood for fishing you might decide instead to relax on the sandy river beach, catch-up on some reading, cool-off in the river or picnic amongst the grapevines. Nature lovers will enjoy the sightings of the abundant wildlife. You can do whatever you want when you are here. You can just relax or you may want to engage in as many activities as the region has to offer, it’s up to you! One of the benefits of being on a private estate is that you can fish on our private ponds year-round without a license. We also allow bow-hunting on our grounds. For those of you “wannabe” grape-growers, you can pick the grapes at harvest time or help crush grapes. We are open to that! Who knows, there may be a budding winemaker among you. Also, you are in the heart of wine country and can easily go from one winery to another, enjoy Stone Mountain State Park with all it has to offer.
