You are just 1/2 mile from the USFS boat launch. Bring your own kayaks or visit nearby watercraft rentals to experience one of the most beautiful lakes in the U.S. Finish out the day with some evening magic gathered around the private fire pit for s'mores under some of the darkest, starriest skies in North Carolina (telescope included).

There are some inclines and a few tight turns (steepest portion has been paved for ease). If there is any question or concern regarding community roads or specific vehicle clearance, please contact owner prior to booking for additional information.
A STEP BACK INTO APPALACHIAN HISTORY – Experience the authentic heart of the Southern Appalachians in nearby Robbinsville. This isn't just a mountain town; it’s a cultural crossroads where history is woven into the landscape. As you stroll through town, you’ll notice a beautiful nod to the area’s roots: the street signs are written in both English and Cherokee. You can pay your respects at the gravesite of the famous Cherokee leader Chief Junaluska or walk a preserved portion of the historic Trail of Tears. Visit the local courthouse to see the marker commemorating this as the last area to surrender at the end of the Civil War in 1865, a testament to the rugged remoteness that makes this region so peaceful today. If you visit during the summer, don't miss the Stecoah Valley Center festivals (June–August) or the annual Azalea Festival in mid-June. It’s the perfect way to experience local music, crafts, and true Southern hospitality. Whether you’re a history buff or just looking for a quiet place to grab a bite, Robbinsville offers a charming, slow-paced lifestyle that feels worlds away from the hustle of the city.
