Arrived at Lonesome Pine Lodge on 10/5/12 for a couple days with great friends.... I was in love from the moment we pulled in the drive.... if you and yours are looking for a great place in the mountains of TN/NC this is the place! all the comforts of home, no need to bring a thing but your clothes! There is a full grocery store not far from the cabin with resonable prices (Ingles) or do as we did and bring your own stuff.... the place is just beautiful and you really can't get the full effect from the photos. The creek that runs in front of the cabin, provides the most wonderful peaceful melody, just open your windows and listen to the peaceful sounds of nature! The Appalachian Trail is a short walk from the cabin itself... although we missed it on Saturday (LOL) but that's what happens when you get a bunch of directionally challenged peeps just enjoying the beauty around them and not paying attention to the markers... we still enjoyed a beautiful 2 hour hike (we actually found the AT on our way back)... We then headed about an hour away to Barndardsville NC to Zipline at Navitat THIS is also an experience you don't wanna miss! Sunday we drove into the Blue Mountain Outfitters and they shuttled us up to the top of a part of the AT and we spent 4 hours hiking back down and into town.... WOW the views were just outstanding, and the folks at Blue Mountain Outiftters were so helpful to our group of non-hikers (just be careful of the driver that takes you up... WHEW sweet man but good golly he drives them mountains like a Nascar driver LOL - I swear I felt G forces) - we truly loved this place and hope we can return again this year, but if not our group is already making plans for next year, and we plan to bring others with us.... truly enough room for your family.... downstairs room as a double and a twin and rollout cot, upstairs one room has a double, the other has two doubles, the other has two twins, and while we didn't need it, I believe the sofa pulls out too... I seriously did NOT want to leave and next year instead of just a long weekend, our group plans to spend at least a week... we even had a nice visit with the neighbor girl Ms. Caitlyn, what a sweet outgoing young lady as was her friend.... they just stopped by to say hello and introduce themselves, very charming young ladies....
