About the host
Hosted by David and Laurie Abbott

Our family of 6 loves unplugging, getting away from our busy lives and connecting with nature! We enjoy renting a pontoon boat, tubing on Nantahala Lake and jumping off a rope swing on Rabbit Island. Our favorite thing is sitting around the campfire roasting marshmallows and eating Dads Dutch oven peach cobbler. As a parent it's a great place to really connect as a family.
Why they chose this property
We are conveniently located close to the "Sky Chapel", Glen Choga Lodge, Nantahala Gorge (Nantahala Outdoor Center - NOC), Lake Nantahala, and the "Tail of the Dragon".
This property has been in my family for nearly 200 years. We have Native American roots and named the cabin after my mother who we affectionately call Running Squirrel. Our land boasts wild turkey, deer, rabbits, and of course squirrels! If you are looking for privacy and to disconnect from the distractions of the world, this is the place.

What makes this property unique
You feel secluded surrounded by 20 acres of trees tucked between two mountain ridges as well as the breathtaking mountain top view of the lake. Relaxing in the hot tub while enjoying the mountain views is spectacular. Stargazing with little light pollution is remarkable.
