Tucked quietly inside the Nolichucky Campground surrounded by the Cherokee National Forest. The Willow will meet all your travel needs for a quick weekend adventure or a weekly stay to explore the oldest mountain chain in North America ,The Appalachian Mountains. The Willow has all the amenities that will keep you comfortable during your trips down the spectacular Nolichucky River which runs right outside your front door or hikes on the Appalachian Trail. The layout of the room offers a cozy retreat after a long day of adventure in the great outdoors or a quiet space to relax on the dock of the pond and hear the Zen of the bullfrogs or get a light show from the neighboring lightning bugs that feed off one another to provide quite a show. We have all the utensils to make a meal for 2 in the kitchenette using the hot plate or if you like to adventure outside you can smoke, charcoal, or use gas to fire up your favorite recipes on the Big TEX Grill. Its all about you having fun... Since The Willow is located in the Nolichucky Gorge Campground you are able to take afternoon strolls around the grounds and meet other travelers such as yourself. We have a special spot that is located up the river by following a trail a couple of hundreds yards up the river that we call the beach. It is a location that is poetic, a place where you can sit and truly find peace on this earth. As the river runs through though the rocks, it will let you know your place on this earth. And believe us...there is no price for this type of beauty except for picking up after yourself. Depending on how early you notify us we can assist with shuttles for getting over to Popular for put in for a day on the river or drop off points on the AT. A grocery list or laundry if you plan on staying for a week or more for a small fee. If you are a guest that is on an anniversary trip with enough notice we would be glad to surprise your special someone with some wedding day or special event pictures located in the room upon your arrival. Just get them to us and we'll do the rest. Let us know your favorite drinks and I'm sure we can get things worked out where you will have a stress free stay at The Willow.
