About this property

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.

Very good

The things on front porch blew in the wind all night, two different nights. They banged and made noise all night long.

Excellent stay

Our family of 5 had a great stay. We didn't spend much time at the house since we spent most of our days visiting family nearby, but we felt at home when we returned each evening. We had one issue with the heat on the first night, but Julie was incredibly responsive and even followed up the next day. The home was decorated nicely, and we'd definitely consider staying again when we return to the area.

Nice countryside home

Our family had a nice stay! The home has everything that you could need! Our favorite part was the big front porch that offers great mountain views along with all the sounds of country living! Also, Julie was great to work with and quick to respond to messages!

Just the ticket ❤️

My spouse and I were in town for an unfortunate circumstance and Julie was nothing but supportive and accommodating throughout our entire travel process. The property was quiet and beautiful, absolutely perfect for healing and reflection. I would definitely recommend Julie and her property for a vacation.

About the host

Hosted by Julie Knott

Host profile image
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
