Owner's Profile
Owner Description
Year Purchased: 1999
The "Hillbilly Hideaway" is the former residence of local artist and entrepreneur Mike Hill, which he has turned into a vacation getaway to share the unspoiled beauty of Carter County Tennessee with friends and relatives!
We're close by and available to make sure you're well taken care of during your stay here, yet far enough away for you to have all the privacy you need! We provide all linens, sheets and towels (although you might want to pack a beach towel or two if you plan to use the hot tub). There's a fully equipped kitchen, which can be stocked with groceries for you prior to your arrival (for a small fee) so that you literally need only to pack a toothbrush and hit the road when you come to visit. The collection of local artists' reproductions make excellent mementos of your trip to the high country-all are available for purchase, and 100% of the proceeds go directly to the artist! We can give you directions and recommendations to all kinds of shopping, dining and other activities...or feel free to go out and explore on your own. Office hours are generally 10-5 Monday-Friday for reservations...or fine art sales (you're calling the publishing office). Feel free to call or email us for availability of the rental unit...and check back soon for information on the "Hillbilly Hideaway unit #2"coming soon!
-Mike "Hill-Billy" Hill
Why the Owner Chose Roan Mountain
When I bought this 14 acre parcel in 1999, this was to be my occasional weekend retreat, but after a few short weeks, it became fairly apparent that I desired to spend as much time as possible here, so I packed up my things and moved in permanently. By day, I am a custom picture framer and fine art publisher...which I guess explains the decor of the "Hideaway"-it is chock-full of fine art reproductions by my favorite high country artists from my fine art publishing company in Foscoe, North Carolina: Wildflowers Fine Art Editions. There is also a busy little fine art supply & custom frame shop there, and at the end of the day, it sure is nice to come home to this peaceful green hillside in Carter County.
The Unique Benefits of this Cabin
Needless to say, there are many locations on and near the property that are excellent for plein aire painting, if you're into that sort of thing...bring your easel, or borrow one of mine!
So anyway, back to the story of the "Hideaway"...after a short time here, I felt that I had made the discovery of my lifetime here in the hills of Tennessee, with down-to-earth neighbors, and affordable goods and services. I set about turning this parcel into someplace to truly get away from it all. I built decks and porches so I could watch the deer as they cross my pasture nightly-I even set up a jacuzzi on the porch for soaking the stress away and unwinding. I have spent the past 7 years gradually remodelling and improving the place, we offer several hiking trails and a great view of Ription Mountain from the top of the property. I admit that the "Hideaway" isn't the ritz-carlton, but most of our guests are looking for that comfortable rustic mountain escape, and that is exactly what we provide.
