We always feel welcome at Mountain Harbour - the breakfast is exceptional, and the hosts are lovely people who go above and beyond for their guests. Thanks for another great stay!
Second visit here…friendly folks, beautiful surroundings, comfy room, just off the AT. Breakfast (and the “Kitchen”/food truck) is as good as you’ve heard…AWESOME. We’ll be heading there again!
We will definitely be back, the at home feel with great people, Shannon and David are great hosts. And their food is delicious, I could've eaten untill I passed out.
We very much enjoyed our stay with Mountain Harbour B & B! The hosts were very kind and friendly making us feel right at home. The accommodations were comfortable, and the food was delicious and bountiful!
A wonderful bed and breakfast. Fabulous hamburgers and other sandwiches and nice selection of beers on site. The staff are wonderful. It is undergoing some renovations on part of lower part of the property due to Hurricane Helen and will be even better soon. Highly recommend. Welcoming, comfortable and homelike.
WHAT A LOVELY, AFFORDABLE PLACE to stay. The owners and caretaker are so friendly and acceptable. They treated me like a king. I stayed 5 nights. I will surely return again.
It's hard to find a good hostel this one is magnificent. The people are friendly and the food is so good at the restaurant. I had the first bunk comfortable slept well. The area around is beautiful and very relaxing a creek runs through the place.
We appreciated the ease of checking into the house. It was very neat and the staff were very helpful. The room was quite nice. But the best aspect of all was the amazing breakfast! Almost as good as some buffets in Vegas! We were quite impressed.
This was my 5th time visiting Mountain Harbour and it is always wonderful. The owner's are continuously adding to and improving the property so each visit has been unique. The added bar area is awesome and the entire staff is just amazing. The things that haven't changed are the great service and the literally the best breakfast you will ever have. I can't wait to plan my 6th trip.
The food was fabulous and the hosts hospitality was absolutely OUTSTANDING!!! This was my first B&B experience and I was very nervous. The hosts made it so comfortable and inviting. A definite recommended. Thanks for sharing your home and company.
My Husband and I came to the B&B to stay while I had to go the next day for a meeting at Lees McRae. We really enjoyed the food that we had at the restaurant. Then while staying in the Jefferson we enjoyed the private hot tub in the room and the comfortable spacious room. The next morning there was breakfast provided in the kitchen below. There was more than enough to eat. I highly recommend this B & B and plan to stay here in the future.
Staff was outstanding. Food choices could be improved. Food not always available when it should. This is a nice establishment and I will definitely be back.
Were it not for a hurricane, the grounds around the main house would be beautiful. The owner/operator family, like other victims, is building back as quickly as possible. The interim condition of the exterior shows what they went through.
The unaffected main house and our guest room were well-appointed and very attentive.
The breakfast buffet provided to all their guests was extraordinary extravagant, as delicious and varied as you’ll find anywhere! A true 5-star experience.
This was my third stay. You have access to toaster and microwave pot for hot water refrigerator space. Accomodations are upstairs. I have found it liked bunk A better than bunk C. The peace and quiet numerous places to sit and marvel at the beauty around you
The hospitality was amazing; super friendly, helpful and welcoming to a new guest! I chose to stay in the Treehouse (no power... glorified camping! :-)) and it was a GREAT stay! Was just passing through for early day in Boone to see my daughter, so was a different kind of "thru traveller" but I will definitely be back to camp, hike and also will return for any early visits to Boone, NC! (I live 3 plus hours away, so that's LONG for a day trip to Boone, but having this hostel as a nearby, clean, affordable location is a GREAT discovery!!

As always, it’s a pleasure to stay a bit at Miuntain Harbour. Friendly, restful, and the food is exceptional. Can’t visit Tennessee without (at least) one night here.
