Our cabin sits on the Tuckasegee River in the middle of the Smokies. Cherokee is a fifteen minute drive and Pigeon Forge/ Gatlinburg are forty five minutes away through the beautiful national park. Hiking, rafting, kayaking and other adventures await. Enjoy a cup of coffee on the deck as you watch the rafters go by with a back drop of the mountains The decks are right over the river - feel free to drop a fishing line Right off of Highway 74 - easy access The Tuckasegee River flows entirely within western North Carolina. It begins its course in Jackson County above Cullowhee at the confluence of Panthertown and Greenland creeks
