Western North Carolina is loaded with craft, antique and gift shops. The great outdoors offer horseback riding, mountain golf courses, trout fishing, white water rafting and scenic drives along the Blue Ridge Parkway. Snow skiing and tubing are available at the Cataloochee Ski Area. It is just a short trip to Asheville and The Biltmore Estate, craft breweries and some of the best restaurants in the South. Cherokee Indian Reservation and Harrah's Casino are nearby or you could plan a day trip to Gatlinburg or Pigeon Forge.

From the city lights twinkling in the evening to the stars in the sky so close you feel you can almost touch them, Hawk Mountain Cabin will make your vacation in the Great Smoky Mountains one to remember.
