About this property

For your stay, you enjoy a simple and comfortable mountain cabin with a gas log fireplace, 2 bedrooms/1 bath, living room & kitchen. The kitchen is equipped with dishes, pots/pans, stove, refrigerator, toaster, coffee maker, and microwave. Linens and towels are provided for the bed and bath.

All you need to bring are your food and clothes... and maybe a chef so you don't have to cook. Or, you may enjoy some of the great restaurants in the area.

Your cabin is surrounded by a beautiful forest with great views of the horses and riders passing by. If a relaxed, laid back vacation is what you're looking for, you've found it here.

The driveway is a mile and a half long bumpy gravel road that serves all the cabins on the farm.

Your horseback riding program is one of the best in the SE, maybe even the country. You experience majestic trails with 30-mile views from the top of the mountain, a valley with creeks, streams, and a small lake, plus, lush fern forests. Truly, these are breathtakingly beautiful trails for you and your family to enjoy.

The Fort is a rustic old lodge perfect for creating a friendly and inviting atmosphere for your special event or banquet. In the reception area there is a small stage and a large rock fireplace with six-foot openings on two sides so you can enjoy the fire from the dining room as well as the reception area. The dining room has some charming genuine gas lights to light the night. You can have up to 150 guests in this quaint old lodge for a fun-filled event.

You have access to 200 acres at 4200 feet elevation. Arrowmont is a working horse farm with majestic views & great trails. In the valley enjoy relaxing by the small lake. You might even see some wild turkey or a family of deer. Then there's the possibility of finding some garnets, rubies or sapphires while you are hiking on the farm. or… Hike to nearby Hatcher Falls, only a mile away is the highest lake east of the Mississippi River called Lake Glenville. You'll think you're in Lucerne Switzerland when you see it! Or visit Whitewater Falls - the highest cascading falls in the east, plus much more!

This is "God's country" and His "land of waterfalls" is filled with breathtaking beauty and inescapable majesty. Be prepared to stay awhile... the mountain splendor and morning mist capture your imagination! There's so much natural beauty you won't want to leave.

Disliked: Communication, location

Was not informed that when it snows the road is impassable for a non 4 wheel vehicle.

Very disappointed. Before we got into the cabin we were not informed that we wouldn't be able to get out.

Beautiful location if a little rough around the edges

Only thing I can say is there was a janky old RV with people living in it parked just outside the property. I had no problem with this but the property pictures left this out while the cabin was advertised as being remote and private. It was just a surprise when we showed up.

It’s just what they indicated on the location. Off the main path and in a beautiful Trees.

We enjoyed are stay and would do it again. The on site horse riding is fun. We also enjoyed lake Glenville Lake which offered pickings and swimming. Also boat rentals. With all the COVID 19 issues it’s a nice getaway.

Beautiful property

Our boys loved seeing the horses and exploring the trails. We also had a great hike to high falls nearby, and we swam in the lake.

About the host

Hosted by Nancy Sellers

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.

Why they chose this property

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!

What makes this property unique

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.
