The cabin was perfect for storing our stuff, keeping everything dry. More than that, it gave our little one a secure place to sleep when she got scared tent camping. The firepit was ideal. We loved how close the bathhouse was and how clean it was. Can't wait to return.

Beautiful and convenient location near the Blue Ridge Parkway and a short drive from Boone, West Jefferson, and Wilkesboro. Cute cabins, primitive camping options, and bathhouses. Can't wait to visit with you again!
