Cozy Cove Cabin is the perfect jumping-off spot to explore all that the surrounding areas have to offer! Stay close to home to enjoy the neighborhood picnic area nestled beside the creek that offers grills and picnic tables that are perfect for that family BBQ in the summer, or take a 25-minute drive to reach the quaint town of Old Fort. Known as the “Gateway to the Blue Ridge,” Old Fort sits at the base of the Blue Ridge Mountains and is surrounded by lush forests and a diverse wildlife community. Old Fort's Native American and railroad history can be felt throughout town—including a hand-carved, 14-foot rose granite arrowhead on top of a 15-foot river rock with a concrete base featured in the middle of town. You can also find local favorite Hillman Beer in the middle of downtown, with its savory burgers, gorgeous river views, and cold brews.
Within the mountains of Old Fort, you'll find Pisgah National Forest with over 67,000 acres that include hemlock forests, cove forests, bogs, and fens. Andrew's Geyser, Catawba Falls, and Point Lookout Trail are among some of the oldest and most celebrated outdoor attractions in Old Fort. Catawba Falls is a stunning 100-foot cascading waterfall, and Point Lookout Trail is a popular 4-mile paved trail that ascends almost 1,000 feet through the Swannanoa Gap.
Take a 25-30 minute drive to reach the neighboring towns of Black Mountain and Marion. Known as the “Front Porch of Western North Carolina,” Black Mountain, boasts 3 local breweries (Lookout Brewing, Pisgah Brewing, and Black Mountain Brewing) along with novelty shops, art galleries, parks, and incredible restaurants like Foothills Grange, Louise's Kitchen, and Pure & Proper. Visit the other small town of Marion and spend your afternoon exploring the new 310 District, an indoor shopping space that's home to Marion Wing Factory, Toonez Chop House, Marion Hot Wheelz indoor skating rink, Chances of Sprinkles Bakery, and several retail shops.
Take a 35-minute drive south to reach the village of Chimney Rock and Lake Lure. Spend your days hiking on the various trails within Chimney Rock State Park, browsing the adorable shops, strolling atop the quirky and colorful Lake Lure Flowering Bridge, or enjoying family-friendly fun at Lake Lure's "mountain" beach & water park.
