Tucked down the side of the mountain on 3.43 acres with private access to Upper Creek, relax and unwind in our family cabin then hit one of the many nearby hiking trails and go explore the mountains. Only 7 miles to the Brown Mountain OHV trails (34 miles of off roading trails) and Brown Mountain Beach Resort, 9 miles to Upper Creek Falls, 12 miles to Wilson’s Creek, 13.5 miles to Hawksbill Mountain, 17 miles to Linville Falls, 18 miles to Table Rock, 24 miles to Grandfather Mountain.

The space

Enjoy peaceful creek side solitude at Roho’s Cabin – named for the funniest man to ever live in Burke County, NC – Roho, M.D., stand up comedian (and my dad).

Check out the Guidebook for area attractions and food.
There’s plenty to do in Morganton (20 minutes to downtown) and Lenoir (25 minutes away). Or take a day trip to Banner Elk, Blowing Rock, Boone, Black Mountain, or Asheville – all less than an hour drive.

Neighbors across the creek are cows and donkeys (they are not always in that field); Daniel Boone Campground neighbors to the North. Steele Creek Park is across 181.

Our Goodland wood burning (soaking) hot tub nestled high under the rocks with a fantastic view of the creek and valley is truly an epic experience, but it is one you must WORK for. The soaking (no jets) hot tub is sanitized and left empty after each stay. You will need to rinse it, fill it with fresh water (pumped from the creek), and then heat the water with a wood fire (unless you prefer a cold plunge!). The process takes from 2.5-5 hours, but the reward is well worth it. It is a unique experience that requires slowing down to enjoy the ritual of building the fire, heating the water and enjoying a chemical free, environmentally friendly soak. Goodland calls it the pursuit of pause – and we highly recommend it.

Up to two dogs allowed with $100 pet fee, subject to approval at time of booking. Please provide the breed and size of your dog(s) when requesting to book and you will be asked to agree to some basic rules to keep your furry friend and Roho’s Cabin safe and cozy.

Driveway is steep and narrow – front-wheel drive or all-wheel drive recommended. Drive slowly (and bravely) and you’ll be fine.

Or you can park at the upper parking area and take the stairs down the mountain. Be sure to visit the rock formation using the other set of stairs. All built by Roho when the cabin was his home.

Enjoy the provided linens, towels, and earth friendly products (such as Grove) – naturally derived hair products and soaps, recycled trash bags, etc. Cleaning products used are also earth friendly.

This is a great place to disconnect! Satellite internet with wifi is available but it is NOT great; definitely slower than what you are probably used to. (As soon as better internet service becomes available, we will have it.) Streaming is possible (but hit or miss) with the smart TV and the provided Fire Stick, but live action gaming and VPN are not recommended. High speed (25 Mbps) internet access is limited (more can be purchased); lower speed is unlimited. DVDs, books, games, and puzzles are available for some internet free entertainment. Cell service is spotty; a phone is available (uses satellite internet).

Or jump on in the water – we have private creek access with a rock path down to the creek. For your safety, shoes should be worn at all times outdoors, including in the creek.
