If you’ve been craving a true Roan Mountain cabin experience, this local favorite checks all the boxes for Cabintimers: a luxury creekfront cabin called Fish Camp with two primary suites and a pebble‑floor spa shower, and a renovated 1930s Creek House with 350 feet of spring‑fed Cove Creek frontage and a stone fireplace. Prefer sky‑high views? The Mountain House sits around 4,200 feet with long‑range valley vistas and a private hot tub. Book direct with Roan Mountain Rentals and keep your dollars for trout flies, rhododendron selfies, and barbecue—no traveler fees, no middleman, and real local advice.
Roan Mountain Rentals keeps you close to the heart of the High Country—minutes from Roan Mountain State Park and Carver’s Gap on the Appalachian Trail—yet each property feels like your own hideaway. This corner of Northeast Tennessee is all about cool creeks, big balds, and night skies full of stars. It’s cabin time.
Why Cabintimers love these cabins
Fish Camp is a water‑lover’s basecamp at about 3,500 feet with 400 feet at the confluence of Shell and Doll creeks. Unwind on the half‑moon deck or stone patio by the creekside fire pit, then retreat to two private bedroom suites—one with a 6‑foot soaking tub and balcony. The kitchen sports granite counters and a farmhouse copper sink, so bring your favorite ribeye and claim the grill.
Creek House brings cozy Roan Mountain vibes in a fully updated 1930s bungalow. Expect hardwood and stone floors, a floor‑to‑ceiling wood‑burning fireplace, an enclosed sleeping/reading porch, and 2 porches with rockers. Toss a few rounds at the horseshoe pit and wander down to 350 feet along spring‑fed Cove Creek—it’s the sound you’ll remember long after checkout.
The Mountain House is for sunrise and stargazing fans. The great room has cathedral ceilings and a stone fireplace; covered porches run the full length of the house so the valley views are front‑row rain or shine. After a day at the Rhododendron Gardens, soak in the private hot tub or challenge the crew to a pool‑table showdown. Note: no pets here; consider Fish Camp or Creek House if you’re bringing the pup.
Pet‑friendly notes & booking direct perks
Traveling with dogs? Fish Camp and Creek House are pet‑friendly (with common‑sense rules), while The Mountain House is pet‑free. When you book direct with Roan Mountain Rentals, you’ll chat with the owners, avoid platform fees, and get tailored suggestions—from best picnic pull‑offs to where the trout bite after a summer rain.
What to do nearby (beyond the porch)
Roan Mountain State Park is your go-to for simple fun: a seasonal pool, tennis courts, creekside hikes, and a short bike loop. When the blooms pop, it feels like a guided wildflower walk even if you’re on your own. From Carver’s Gap, hop on the Appalachian Trail to Round Bald and Grassy Ridge—wide-open views and that famous June wave of Catawba rhododendron. On hot afternoons, head to Watauga Lake for a pontoon cruise, a swim in the clear water, or a smallmouth session. Down in Elizabethton, photograph the Doe River Covered Bridge and grab coffee or a bite. When snow flies, Banner Elk and Beech Mountain, North Carolina, are a quick, scenic drive for turns, tubing, and taprooms.
Trip‑planning tips for Cabintimers
Pack layers—the mountain air runs cooler than the valley, even in midsummer. If you’re visiting in winter and driving higher up, four-wheel drive is smart. Tuck camp chairs and a headlamp in the trunk for creekside reading and stargazing. Groceries and last-minute essentials are down the mountain in Elizabethton and Hampton.

Bring layers—mountain weather changes fast, even in July. If you’re visiting in winter and heading up to the high country, 4WD can be a smart call. Pack camp chairs for creek‑side reading, and don’t forget a red headlamp for safe star‑gazing. Groceries and last‑minute essentials are down the mountain in Elizabethton and Hampton.
