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.

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.

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.
