Mountain House near the Appalachian Trail, Watauga Lake, Bristol, & Johnson City
Hilltop Hideaway is a cozy oasis offering gorgeous valley and mountain views! Grab your coffee and sit for a spell in one of the front porch rockers to listen to the sounds of the surrounding farm life. Unwind after a day on Watauga Lake (10 min), hiking the Appalachia Trail (5 min) or Skiing Beech/Sugar Mtn (35 min)! Enjoy the privacy of the country with easy access to Johnson City (20 min), Banner Elk (30 min), Bristol (30 min) or Elizabethton (10 min). We are up a “holler” as we say in East TN. After traveling up the gravel drive, porch steps will take you through the front door to an open living room and kitchen with the bedrooms/bathroom down the hallway. Although there is only one bathroom available, the master bedroom offers an additional vanity sink. You can expect to hear the sounds of nature - whether cows and donkeys occasionally during the day, or crickets and cicadas most evenings! There is a small fire pit that guests are welcome to use while practicing fire safety.

About the host
Hosted by Julie Knott
I am a non-profit director working in affordable housing. I lived in the Tri-Cities area for 6 years until I got married and moved back to North Carolina. I absolutely adore Hampton - the views, the people and just being in nature. I try to make it back every chance I get, but I love being able to share this little oasis with others!
Why they chose this property
The home is up a “holler” as we say in East Tennessee. It is quiet (except for the crickets, cows and occasional donkey) and private, yet it it close to everything! The people are friendly and life is a little slower up in the hills, a great place to getaway from the hustle and bustle of city life.
What makes this property unique
What makes my home unique: Sounds of Farm Life! From almost anywhere on the property, there are amazing views of the mountains and valley. We are close to just about anything you could want to do outdoors
