Family owned since 1975, this is where we raised our daughters, taking hikes, enjoying picnics in the woods, climbing rocks, fishing, and jumping into the river to cool off.

To fully enjoy the property, we have created a circular trail along the riverbank from the dock to the other side of the property then back up on simple stone steps next to a lovely wet-weather creek.

This trail is great for a short hike around the property or for fishing along the riverbank. A morning walk with coffee is very relaxing.

Please enjoy the plants (ferns, galax, wild ginger, mountain laurel, rhododendron) the rock formations (including a tiny cave) and the birds you will see and hear (pileated woodpeckers, red-shouldered hawks, barred owls, and more).

Sorry, insurance won’t allow for use of the boats, but please bring your own kayak or paddle board.

You can put your boat in at our dock, or you can drive 14 minutes to DeSoto Falls, put in and paddle from there. There is a parking charge at the falls of $4.00.

This section of the West Fork of Little River has a dam at both ends so paddling is easy. One dam is at DeSoto Falls, the other is at Camp Skyline. Our cabin is almost half-way between the two (but a little closer to DeSoto Falls). From our dock you would paddle left to go to the falls and right to paddle to the camp.

Round trip from dam to dam is about 4 miles and takes about 3 to 3.5 hours.

You can also rent kayaks at DeSoto Falls, most weekends May - October. Call DeSoto State Park for information.

In each bedroom there is an overhead fan, a small portable fan, and 2 power strips, one on each side of every bed for charging all of your electronics.

A small desk in the large upstairs bedroom provides a private workspace, if needed.

A charcoal grill, and an umbrella table with 6 chairs are near the firepit.

There is a dining table in the living room and another on the screened porch. This allows for several dining options. We enjoy eating outside.
