あなたのフロントポーチから馬のローミングを見て楽しむ

Arrowmont opened in 1960 as a private boys camp. We operated as a private youth camp for 17 years.

Our camp was written up in Woman's Day magazine for the program it offered. The boys actually learned how to take of themselves in the woods and took adventure hiking trips on the Appalachian Trail.

After taking a few years off for some well deserved rest, we chose to open our doors to the public in 1983 for horseback riding and vacation cabins.

Since providing a learning experience in an adventurous atmosphere worked so well for our campers, we wanted to carry on this philosophy with you... to share the best of learning, having fun and family adventure with you as well.

Arrowmont Stables offers some of the best trails and services in the SE, maybe even the country! The trails vary from majestic mountain tops with 30 mile views out to the Blue Ridge Parkway to a picturesque valley with creeks, streams and a small lake to cool deep wood fern forests with lush greenery.

The personal attention given to introduce you to riding and trying your horse out is hard to beat.

The horses are allowed to roam freely on the 200-acre farm after work so you may have some 4 legged visitors, better known as horses, sheep, and goats, stop by to see you at your cozy cabin. Or you may watch them mozy past on their way to their evening pasture.

Your cabins are comfortable with all fixings of home. All you need to bring are your food and clothes... or maybe a chef to cook your meals when you don't feel like enjoying one of our great restaurants in the area.

Now if you're a die-hard city person who has to be 5 minutes from a convenience store, this is not the place to be. The grocery store is a 30-minute drive. But you are only a mile away from the highest lake east of the Mississippi River, Lake Glenville. A beautiful, pristine lake that will remind you of a lake in Lucerne, Switzerland.

But if you enjoy the outdoors and looking for a little adventure, you've come to the right place. We are a little piece of heaven away from the horns and lights of the city. God truly outdid Himself in these majestic mountains and that's saying something!

Leave your video games, cell phones, and shopping malls at home.

You come here for other reasons, like being in the middle of the "Land of Waterfalls", hiking, water skiing, rock climbing, whitewater rafting, spelunking, star watching without "light pollution", over 40 free or nearly free things to enjoy with nature and history, gem hunting, fixing s'mores over the fire, and, of course, horseback riding.
