Our space is relatively free of allergens with a tile floor and solid wood ceiling, walls and cabinets. The distance from our home to the apartment is about 100 yards. There are some slopes for sledding very nearby. We will provide transportation (if you don't have 4 wheel or all wheel drive) up our driveway if there is snow on the roads.

Why Norma Morrison chose Roan Mountain

When Patrick first saw our land he fell in love with it and realized the potential for a hydro electric system. Forty years later, he designed and constructed our own micro-hydro electric system that generates the amount of electricity that we use. We love living here and have very deep roots like the trees that surround us.

What makes this Guest House unique

This place on Ripshin Mountain has served us as an ideal location to raise our daughter and build memories with our grandchildren.
