Location Location Location!
Located in the quiet Ocona Lake Estates community, just off Highway 19 between Bryson City and Cherokee, the lodge is accessed by a one-lane gravel mountain road with occasional pull-outs for passing. The neighborhood sees very little traffic and the driveway fits 6 cars. In winter months, 4-wheel drive is recommended in case of snow, but not required otherwise. River Access is a 5 minute walk to community access area.

Security: For safety reasons, there is a ring style exterior security camera that is not monitored but records video and sound 24/7. The camera is motion-activated and overlooks the entrance and driveway to the lodge.
