Find Your Quiet in the Smokies
Tucked away on a quiet mountain road outside Robbinsville, North Carolina, our cabins offer something that's getting harder to find: real peace and quiet. Here, mornings start with birdsong and mist rising off the ridges, and evenings end under a sky full of stars, far from traffic and city noise.
Yet you're never far from adventure, with Fontana Lake and the Cheoah River just minutes away and the legendary Tail of the Dragon a short, winding ride from your door. Our signature stay is a true piece of mountain history, a cabin originally built in the early 1940s to house the workers who constructed Fontana Dam.
Choose from three distinct stays, from our historic cabin to a cozy, gear-friendly efficiency to our spacious premium retreat, and slow down for a while in one of the most peaceful corners of Western North Carolina.
