Secluded Creekside Cabin in Morganton near Linville Gorge – hot tub

Secluded Creekside Cabin in Morganton near Linville Gorge – hot tubEnjoy peaceful creekside 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).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. 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.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; 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.
