The Mast farm dates from the late 1700s, when Joseph Mast traveled to the mountains from Randolph County, North Carolina, where he was born in 1764. His father John had settled there after emigrating from Switzerland via Pennsylvania, where his brother remained. Joseph is said to have traded his rifle, his dog, and a pair of leggings for 1000 acres of fertile Watauga River Valley land. The first house, a two-room log cabin, was built around 1810 and remains today as the oldest inhabitable log cabin in Watauga County. The farm and family prospered through the 19^th Century, and Finley and Josephine Mast built the first part of the farmhouse in the 1880s. Around the turn of the century, the Masts began offering meals and rooms to tourists, enlarging the house to accommodate the growing number of guests. By 1915, the inn had 13 bedrooms and one bath. It was called "the Mast Farm" or simply "Aunt Josie's and Uncle Finley's."

Guest Testimonials
"Dear Friends, I want to thank you for such a wonderful birthday week-end stay at Maple Spring and Raspberry Hill this past weekend. We all had a wonderful time, the meals were delicious both for breakfast and dinner. Thanks to the chef. Our family also enjoyed the park with the children. We will certainly recommend you to our friends. Thank you again for your hospitality. The J & H Family"

"Thank you so much! I also just wanted you to know that your enthusiasm, your hard work, and your high level of customer service makes my life so much easier. I don't think I could plan all this without you! You are truly great at what you do. Have a great day, Danielle."

"Sandra, We were there with another couple in March and had a wonderful time. The service was superb, the meals were the among the best we've had anywhere, here or abroad, the rooms were very comfortable, and we even got coffee and breakfast early on Saturday morning since we had to leave early. In addition, I put the puzzle together and had it framed like the one at the desk. It's one of my favorite souvenirs from anywhere I've traveled. Thank you for a wonderful 'experience' and we hope to come back frequently. MG"
