Hounds Retreat

Welcome to Hounds Retreat, a charming log cabin nestled in the mountains of Leatherwood, overlooking scenic Meadow Road. Perfect for a romantic escape or family getaway, this peaceful retreat invites you to unwind on the porch—whether in a rocking chair or swing—as birds sing and a nearby creek flows gently through the meadow below.

Hounds Retreat has recently been refreshed with thoughtful updates throughout, including new carpet, fresh interior paint, updated lighting, and new appliances (since 2023). The kitchen has been enhanced with new countertops, fixtures, and a new dining table and chairs. Both bathrooms have been fully updated with new tile, fixtures, and added safety features including grab bars and shower seating. Additional upgrades include new TVs in the downstairs bedrooms and a new grill for outdoor cooking.

Enjoy breathtaking mountain views on horseback or while hiking, then return to the comfort of your cabin to prepare a meal in the fully equipped kitchen or grill out on the deck. End your day with a relaxing soak in the hot tub or cozy up for a movie on the HDTVs. Day trips to Boone and Blowing Rock are just a short drive away, offering something for everyone.

At Hounds Retreat, it’s more than a getaway—it’s a place to slow down, reconnect, and create lasting memories.
