Location: Hot Springs, Smoky Mountains, North Carolina, USA (Just across the TN line inside Cherokee National Forest) View Map
Accommodations: Cabin, 4 Bedrooms + Convertible bed(s), 2 Baths (Sleeps 11-15)
Lonesome Pine Lodge is a 32 year old, rustic, hand-hewn log cabin, high up in the Smoky Mountains and inside the Cherokee National Forest. With 2200 sq ft and enough beds to sleep 15 people, Lonesome Pine Lodge is perfect for a large family getaway or small reunion.
Under the covered front porch (with lovely cypress furniture) or wrap around deck you can sit and listen to the constant flow of Upper Paint Creek, which runs the width of the three acre property. If you like to fish, there are two ponds stocked with blue gill and catfish just out the front door, as well as brook, brown, and rainbow trout in the creek. There are four mountain bikes in the garage and the Appalachian Trail is less than a mile away.
If you like museums make the trip to Greeneville, TN and visit Davy Crockett Birthplace State Park or Andrew Johnson National Historic Site and learn about our 17th president. Both of these two famous and influential men were from this area!
Although the cabin is rustic, it has all of the amenities of home; a large, fully stocked kitchen, washer and dryer, linens, towels, wood stove, gas fireplace, ceiling fans, gas grill, smoker, and even a 37” High Definition LCD TV for watching your sport of choice. All of this in a spacious, clean cabin decorated with numerous Bev Doolittle prints, and many pieces of antique furniture.

Why the Owner Chose Hot Springs
One of the driving forces behind my purchase of this cabin is its close proximity to the Appalachian Trail. I’ve hiked numerous sections of the AT, and this area is one of my favorites. It is the perfect jumping off point for all kinds of outdoor activities. Whether it’s fly fishing Little Laurel Creek (2 miles), kayaking the Nolichucky (9 miles), hiking the AT (<1 mile), bouldering at Blackstack Cliffs (8 miles), biking the Paint Creek Trails (7 miles), or having a picnic at 4400’ in Jones Meadow (7 miles), adventure is just out the back door.
The Unique Benefits at this Cabin
The cabin is situated nearly halfway between the quaint mountain town of Hot Springs, NC (15 miles) and the historic town of Greeneville, TN (18 miles). Although both offer adventure, relaxation, history, and culture, the best thing about Lonesome Pine Lodge is the fact that you don’t even have to get in your car to find something to do. Fish for trout in the creek that runs through the front yard or brim in the pond by the driveway, go for a day hike on the AT, bike along Paint Creek up Viking Mountain Road, or grill out on the deck and enjoy the cool, clean mountain air. On a clear night, walk out the garage and look at the sky, it’s spectacular.
There is a very old cemetery here just past an ancient log cabin. The AT is accessible here as well.
Here is great place to small mouth bass fish as well as put in a kayak or canoe.
The AT runs right through this field and there are spectacular views of Blackstack Cliffs and Greeneville.
Just a short side trail off of the AT, Blackstack also offers stunning views of Greene County.
Excellent trout fishing all along this tributary of the French Broad.
This is where you access the Paint Creek Trails. You can hike, bike, camp, picnic, and trout fish all from this great little spot.
Get a massage, relax in the Hot Tubs, go rafting on the French Broad, hunt for antiques, have a beer at Rock Bottom, or enjoy a patty melt at Smoky Mt. Diner.
Visit the Andrew Johnson National Historic Site, stop by the Nathanael Greene Museum, or get tickets for the "Dickson-Williams Mansion Tour" at the historic General Morgan Inn.
105 acres with a museum, a replica of the original cabin, fishing in the Nolichucky River, a swimming pool, picnic tables, and a campground.
Owner's Map of Hot Springs
Although I’ve lived all over the southeast, I’ve spent the last 25 years living in and around the Orlando area. When I was a kid, my grandparents had a summer home in Lake Toxaway, NC that we used to visit every year. That is where I fell in love with the mountains. I’ve always been the outdoor adventure type and that, coupled with my experiences as a youngster, has made owning a cabin in the mountains a lifelong dream. Though I’ve never actually lived there, when I drive up to the Smokies, it feels like I'm coming home.
