Appalachian Mountain Vacation

Where the mountains of Tennessee, North Carolina and Virginia meet above Watauga Lake, visitors seeking a special place to get away and relax have discovered Johnson County, a Tennessee vacation destination that is the perfect antidote to the rush rush rush of modern day life. When you want to get away from the crowds and traffic jams of Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge, this is area to visit. First time visitors often become lifetime residents.

During your stay at our Appalachian Mountain bed and breakfast or rental cottages, you will appreciate the peace and serenity of the surrounding Tennessee hills, the slower pace of life, and the friendly hospitality of the local residents. You’ll find that the area is perfect for a family vacation, a romantic getaway or a gathering with friends with lots of great activities and attractions to enjoy without the crowds and commercialism that are often associated with tourist spots.

Travel the area, and you will find that each community in Johnson County, TN has a unique and fascinating history: Butler (“the town that wouldn’t drown”); Trade, first settlement in Tennessee, Shady Valley (home of the last remaining cranberry bog in Tennessee), Laurel Bloomery named for the abundance of laurels growing in the area and “bloomery” which was a term used when smelting iron ore – a product of that area in the 1800’s, and Neva, a fertile valley between Stone and Doe Mountains with Corn Maze in the fall and BMX racing spring and summer.

Located here in one place, are the many wonderful and diverse activities available to visitors to Johnson County and the Tri-States Mountain Region. Whether you enjoy exploring the great outdoors, touring historic sites, or relaxing on the water, you will find it all right here. There truly is something for everyone to enjoy during an Appalachian Mountain vacation.
