Conveniently located within an hour of Johnson City and Asheville, and about 1.5 hours to Boone, you’re never far from dining, shopping, and amenities. Nearby towns like Bakersville, Spruce Pine, and Burnsville provide everyday essentials. Outdoor enthusiasts will appreciate being just 25 minutes from Roan Mountain, where you can access some of the most scenic stretches of the Appalachian Trail, including its highest-elevation shelter at 6,285 feet.
