This area is quite remote; however, the cabin is on a major road for the area (it is only a two lane highway) and is very easy to get find.

Watauga Lake, one of the cleanest lakes in the country, offers great places for boating, swimming, water sports, fishing, kayaking, canoeing, and paddle boarding. Boat rentals are just seven minutes away and the Little Milligan boat ramp is five minutes away.

The Appalachian Trail is 11 minutes away, and many hiking trails such as Laurel Falls, Blue Hole Falls, Pond Mountain, and Lacy Trap Ridge are close by.

Additional recommendations for local places are in our guidebook.

This cabin is located on a well traveled two lane road. During the winter, it is plowed first and up kept regularly. There is ample parking just off the road for 2 vehicles or vehicle with a trailer. Pull in and pull out is easy and no backing up is required.

This cabin is located in the Cherokee National Forest. One of the benefits is you will possibly get to see wildlife! We have seen bear, deer, turkeys, etc. Conversely, you may see wildlife! Since it is in a remote area, be aware that this is a possibility and should be expected.

A baby crib, Graco Pack-N-Play, is available in the laundry room.
