Had a lovely time with our family of 9 at Owls Roost. The house was well equipped for all our needs. Enjoyed the hot tub, the views, and the wrap around porch. Everything went well. We all enjoyed our visit to the Blue Ridge Mountains.

Owl’s Roost Private and comfortable

If you want privacy and a beautiful, well appointed cabin at the top of a mountain, this is it! Bring your own linens, and stay for a while. We were sad to leave this hilltop oasis.
