About this property

Beautiful Blue Ridge Views, Beautiful Pastoral Setting - HH Mtn Happy

Beautiful four bedroom log cabin sits on grassy crest, overlooking pastures and woods with long distance, layered views. The recently renovated HHMtn Happy features a completely new open kitchen, new hardwoods and carpets, a new mudroom/laundry room, and updates to all three baths. HHMtnHappy's large open-plan main level features a cathedral ceiling, rough hewn beams, a comfortable sitting area with views of mountains, farmhouse breakfast table, and large kitchen for meal prep. Separate dining room provides setting for festive gatherings. Comfortable seating areas in upstairs loft and lower level tv room provide plenty of room to spread out for lounging and reading. The division of the four bedrooms between first and third levels makes it ideal for a two family getaway, with a full bath on each of those two floors. Wraparound porch has multiple seating areas and a dining table to fully take advantage of the cool mountain air up at 3400’ feet.

Additional amenities include wi-fi, flat screen tv, dvr, dvd and fiber-optic cable, washer & dryer, lovely linens and duvets, cook’s kitchen with all of the essentials. Long range, layered mountain views from the main living room, loft, breakfast nook, kitchen and porch. Each bedroom has a queen bed, and the largest basement bedroom has an additional twin bed. Additionally, the sofa up in the loft pulls out to a full size bed. All but one are brand new. Décor mixes new mitchell gold – bob williams upholstery with antiques, family heirlooms, and fun flea market finds.

For the younger kiddos, we have a portable high chair, pack’n’play and many toys available. We have tons of books and board games as well, as hhmtn happy is our favorite place to go analog and focus on family fun.

Relax on the wrap around porch and watch the sun set over the mountains. Drink your morning coffee while watching deer graze in the yard and field. 2 acres of lawn and 6 acres woods are yours to explore. Our fire pit, adirondack chairs, trails, slackline, and porch swing await you. Our quiet mountain road is great for long strolls.

Just minutes from fishing and swimming in the watauga river, including one of the best loved swimming holes in the high country, the watauga gorge recreation area. The stone mountain general store is minutes away in the village of bethel for supplies. HHMtn Happy is 20 minutes from valle crucis and the historic mast general store, 25 minutes from boone and app state, 25 minutes from watauga lake, 40 minutes from blowing rock, and 45 minutes from app, beech, & sugar mountain skiing.

Weather:
You can check "Ski Beech, NC" for typical weather forecasts for our area.

Summer visitors:
NEW FOR 2017 - brand new central air-conditioning system. While the high elevation and breezes keep the house quite comfortable throughout the summer without it most of the time, we have installed central AC for those rare days when the weather gets hot and humid. In addition, the bedrooms all have ceiling fans and the house is well stocked with portable fans as well. Summer highs are typically in the upper 70s or low 80s.

Winter visitors:
Hhmtn happy can only be reached by steep and winding mountain roads, which will be icy in winter weather. In the Blue Ridge Mountains, such weather can occur anytime between November and April. Please be ready to drive in hazardous conditions, including snow and ice. Four wheel drive, good tires, and chains may all be required to safely access the house. The occurrence of snow, ice, rain, and fog are all a part of the beautiful blue ridge, and it is your responsibility to be prepared for any hazardous conditions that occur. There will be no refunds, allowances, or date changes due to weather or accessibility.

Lovely Get-Away
Hattie Hill was a perfect escape from the busy city. Beautiful Mountain views and lovely walk in the woods. The kitchen had everything we needed to cook for Thanksgiving!

Great space for family
We had a great time on a quick weekend getaway to the mountains. Really appreciated the open space and had room for everyone. The property is beautiful and we enjoyed the extra outside amenities like the slack line. We would highly recommend this property.

Beautiful Views and Beautiful Home
This home is very spacious and was perfect for our vacation. Our family of four and our friends’ family of five had plenty of room to spread out and enjoy conversation, games, nature and the views! There are three different living areas, one on each of the three floors. Closets and cabinets are stocked with anything you might need. I loved that the main floor was open so that we could all be together- some cooking, some playing games at the table and others talking in the living room! Everything was very clean and tidy, linens were high quality and had extra in closets. If I had to list one thing that needed attention it would be that the mattresses were all pretty firm. We tried adding blankets to give more padding.

About the host

Hosted by Amanda Fox-Duncan and Katy Roberts

Host profile image
We are 2 families with one purpose, both who live in Charlotte, NC. Since the Roberts moved onto the same street as the Duncan's we started doing life together. We share 7 kids among us. With that said, we think the Earth is a pretty awesome space to explore and believe friends are the family we choose! We bought HHMtnHappy halfway through 2020 without visiting the property because we knew it was perfect for us. We love the outdoors, family time, and road trips!

Why they chose this property

We all need a place where we can disconnect from the fast-paced demands of the world and enjoy the authentic feeling of being with the people we love most. We fell in love with the sense of peace that comes from HHMtn Happy's serene setting, beautiful views, and away-from-it-all feeling!
