Just Relax

This was the just what we wanted. Had the opportunity to hike in the mountains and enjoy the property when we were at the house. It was very cold and it even snowed. A much different environment than Florida. Roger took great care of us and offered assistance in any way we needed. Thankfully the house and property was in tip top shape and we didn’t neeed assistance much. Thank you Roger!

Perfect Re-charge

I planned this little 4-day vacation last minute, as a getaway to re-charge. From start to finish, everything and I do mean everything was easy and perfect. VRBO and Roger, the property owner, couldn't have made the process any easier. We relaxed on the front porch, had conversations in the very comfortable living areas, rested well in the large and comfortable bedrooms. The kitchen had everything you could possibly need to prepare a meal and then some. My son didn’t have any luck catching trout, but he sure enjoyed trying. I enjoyed picking blackberries and blueberries as I watched him. Roger surprised us with homemade cookies and made sure that we had a wonderful experience. Roger, WE DID. We take home wonderful memories, re-charged. So many relaxing and pleasurable experiences await you!

BOOK IT!!!! My finance and I booked this property specifically for the beautiful moutain views. We were looking for a private, beautiful, memorable, serene location to hold a private wedding ceremony. We are so glad we found this one. Our wedding day was absolutely everything we wanted, and more. The views are better than a photo can capture. The host is warm and friendly. You will book as a customer and check out feeling like a friend. We are already planning our next trip to this property and will return many times in the years ahead. Book it! You will not be disappointed.

Wonderful place to stay!

What a great few days we spent at the Red Roof Farmhouse! From picking fresh blueberries and red raspberries and walking by the beautiful trout stream, to enjoying the flowers and breathtaking views from the red rockers on the front porch, our time spent there was incredible. The house could not have been more well-stocked for us. Our hosts even provided us with a bottle of wine, fresh baked cookies and local strawberries. He also told us colorful stories and history of the area. Fascinating and gracious hosts! We're already excited about our next visit!

The perfect vacation!

The Red Roof cabin was perfect for our group. It is relatively close to Roan mountain (a beautiful hike), and close to Burnsville where we spent an afternoon. We thoroughly enjoyed sitting on the front porch taking in the beautiful view of the mountains. The cabin is well stocked (kitchen, bathrooms and living areas easily accommodated the five of us. Note for those who like a cold beer after a hike, the cabin is in a dry county!

Loved the location of the property. The view from the rocking chairs on the front porch of Roan Mountain was spectacular. The home is very comfortable and clean. The kitchen is well stocked with everything one needs to prepare meals and storage. The beds are very comfortable with plenty of pillows. We will plan to visit the Red Roof Farmhouse again.

Relaxing Weekend

We enjoyed spending Thanksgiving at the red roof farmhouse. The house was sparkling clean and, spacious for our family to have our holiday dinner and play games. However, not having a dishwasher made clean up a bit more cumbersome. The beds were comfortable and the house well stocked with all the plates and utensils you need. Our host Roger was very friendly and accommodating. We had an issue with the water but Roger and his nephew showed up in minutes on Thanksgiving to assess and repair the problem promptly! Roger even left a yummy pie in the fridge for our meal! The property is located a bit closer to the road and Dollar General than anticipated but it was still quiet and peaceful. We loved the Mountain View and took great pictures in front of the stream out front. Thanks for allowing us to visit!

Peaceful property

This property is beautiful. The porch and views were my favorite. The beds we’re comfortable and we woke up feeling so rested each morning. kitchen was fully stocked with anything you’d need including tons of spices and oils etc. the fridge even has basic condiments! Our only regret is we didn’t stay longer to enjoy the nature, we were in town for a race and spent most of our time doing that. But knowing we had such a comfy place to come home to each night from a long day was fantastic! Thank you for sharing your piece of serenity with us!

Beautiful week on the mountains

Beautiful home—comfortable beds, lots of relaxing spaces, and a fantastic porch with a great view of the mountains. There was plenty of space both for us to hang out together and for us to get away from each other when necessary! Kitchen is very complete. The berry patch has a constant supply of summer berries rotating into season. Roger was very responsive and organized, making sure we had everything we needed. I can’t imagine a better host.

Property is Amazing

My family of 4 with two younger kids stayed here and there was something for everyone. Great view of the mountains from the front porch if you want relax. A long stretch of stream to fish that borders the front of the property. Caught quite a few brown trout and rainbow trout and we had it to ourselves the whole trip. Dollar general is a short walk or drive to get the essentials. Grocery stores, shops, etc are about a 25-30 minute drive. We did find a restaurant 13 minutes away (Bonnie and Clyde's). Food was good and prices were reasonable. Lastly, the property manager was great. Very responsive and helpful.

Relaxing mountain cabin

This rental was great. The check in was seamless. The communication was excellent and soon as I reserved it. The cabin was very clean and inviting. There was plenty of room in the cabin and outside as well. We have 2 yo twins and it was so much nicer to stay in a cabin and have room to play inside and outside compared to a hotel. It was also quiet and peaceful so neighbors were far away. We had plenty of privacy. I was also able to cook and have more family over to cook for them as well. It was close to Johnson City which is where my family was I was visiting. It was a 35 min commute through beautiful mountain roads. I would high recommend this property. There is plenty to do at the property and it is large enough for a large family or group of friends with everyone still having their space. The owner was just a call/text/email away with any questions that arose. It was a nice getaway to relax with family.

Getaway that had everything we could’ve asked for!

This beautiful farmhouse was perfect for our family of 5. Super clean and furnished with everything we needed and more. The property had everything we had been looking for…amazing mountain views (most importantly), a water stream (kids loved throwing rocks in it and looking for fish), rolling hills (kids enjoyed rolling down them) fruit trees and bushes (that my family enjoyed picking fruit from). And the hosts were phenomenal. They were always very responsive, and had so many recommendations and suggestions whenever I would reach out to them. They helped us make the absolute best of our time there. They even treated us to some delicious, warm homemade blueberry muffins! We will definitely be going back…hopefully soon!

We had such a relaxing and enjoyable visit to the Red Roof Farm. Our host was very welcoming and helpful, we felt right at home. The host gave us a ton of information on the best hiking based on our interest and capabilities, where to get our groceries, dining and the best spot for trout fishing.

About the host

Retired Professor and Dean

Why they chose this property

I was born in this small rural community and have been privileged to travel around the world with my work. I have found no place in the world I think is overall more enjoyable and impressive than the mountains, streams, and quiet natural beauty of this community.
Because Penland School has, over the years, spawned so many artists who have relocated to this area, there are literally hundreds of artists located within an hour of the property.

What makes this property unique

With the most impressive mountain views from the front porch while sitting in a red rocking chair, you find yourself wrapped in natural beauty on this private, gated, 27 acre farm. Not many places provide the unique opportunity to walk from your bed to a beautiful trout stream on property and land a 18 inch brown trout within minutes, then, In season, you walk a few hundred hards and enjoy blueberries, rasberries, and blackberries. Just installed large fire pit picnic area.
