Step back in time and get in touch with nature💚<br>Holyfield Cabin and Bunkhouse

Sitting above Sams Creek in the Appalachian mountains, we offer a rustic, wormy chestnut over 100 year old, updated cabin ( 548 sq. ft. ) with a screen front porch & covered and open side deck with outdoor wood burning fireplace ( we provide a reasonable amount of firewood and have more for purchase ), propane grill, living/queen bedroom, kitchen & full bathroom with standing shower. Steps away is a bunkhouse with queen bed, bunk beds with stairs, 2 chairs and full bathroom with standing shower. The cabin and bunkhouse are heated and will sleep 1-6 total. We have cards, Uno, checkers, Monopoly, poker chips, the Ring game, cornhole, and have a badminton/croquet court ! Bring your fishin’ pole - we have native brown and rainbow trout right here in Sams Creek - no license required on our private property. It’s like having your own personal park. We now have FIBER INTERNET for your work or school needs. We have a DVR with a 31” tv screen and a nice selection of family movies. We have a Fire stick. Our tap water is from a well that is almost 700’ deep in the aquaphor - pure and clean !
We are centrally located between Asheville NC & Johnson City, Tn. - 30-35 minute drive to either city which are known for their exceptional restaurants, taprooms, arts, and music. We are only 15 minutes from skiing/tubing at Hatley Pointe Ski Resort and Zip N Slip, only 4 miles from Tennessee’s newest wilderness park - Lamar Alexander Rocky Fork State Park, and 3 miles from the Sams Gap crossing of the Appalachian Trail. *Local rafting closed for season 2025 due to Hurricane Helene clean up.* White-water raft on the world-famous Nolichucky River which is rated in the top 10 rafting trips IN THE WORLD - only 20 minutes from us. Call USA Raft, Blue Ridge Paddling or Wahoo’s Adventures in Erwin,Tn. to make your reservation. Zipline with Navitat in Barnardsville, NC just 30 minutes away. Lots to do and see in East Tennessee or just stay here, never leave and soak it all in... It’s HEAVEN to us ! We are a National Wildlife Federation Certified Wildlife Habitat💚. We live on our beautiful property, across the creek and in the woods - so, if you need anything at all, just ask/text or come on over... we want our guests to be reassured that this is a very nice and safe area. PLUS, we are dog friendly. We do ask that you inform us on the number and type of dogs (limit of 2) that you are bringing and that you must crate them when you are gone. Sorry, no cats please. You will be held responsible for any damages. We offer fresh towels daily and will remove your trash bags. Last stop for gas or groceries- if you are approaching us from the Asheville area, Mars Hill, NC exit 11 has a very nice Ingles. If you are approaching us from the Johnson City area, Food City in Erwin, exit 37 is your place. Both grocery stores are just off I-26 and less than 20 minutes from us. Local laundromats are in Erwin, Tn and Weaverville, NC ( 20 minutes east or west ) for our longer-staying guests to take care of their personal items. Call or text as you take Flag Pond, exit 50 and we will greet you at the top of our paved driveway. Parking in front of the bunkhouse. Please follow our directions as your GPS may steer you wrong - for example, we are on the Right not the left :) If approaching from I-26W, GPS will tell you to take the Wolf Laurel exit 3 - it is best to drive one more exit into Tennessee to Flag Pond Rd. exit 50, especially after dark. It also might be helpful to view our video provided that will show you the way. Thank you for your interest and we look forward to your stay ! Escape, relax, and explore !
