Mountain Cabin / Hiking off the Blue Ridge Parkway

We are back open! Helene did a lot of tree damage but the cabin is untouched. Hiking trails are use at your own risk. They have not been cleared since the storm. Relax by the outdoor fire pit or have a picnic on the deck with long range Mountain View’s. The cabin is cozy with great wi-fi and TV. We just upgraded to a king size bed too!! This place is an affordable, perfect mountain escape for 2 people. 4 wheel drive required in winter.
