A guest favorite excursion from WilsonCreekCabins.com is a trip up the Blue Ridge parkway to see the Highest Peak in the East at a whopping 6684 ft above sea level!

Drive to the parking area and there is a Gift Shop and Information Center to explore and then the short Hike to the Lookout Tower with 360 degree views and unlimited distance as far as the eye can see on a clear day!
Picture
It is acceptable to bring your dog on a leash as well and there are spots for a picnic and take in the beauty and serenity of the sounds above the world.

See natures effects of Acid rain at these high elevations and vistas and colors in fall for miles all around!
Picture
The trip up the parkway is loaded with tunnels and turnout parking areas for a quick view and stretch your legs!  See lots of tunnels and the view on the Blue Ridge Parkways is a destination in itself.

Long range views and breezes and a different thermo-cline means dress accordingly its a different world up here!

    Jeff Shook - owner  ​I dreamed of owning Brown Mountain Lodge as a kid. In 2000 my wife and I purchased it and began our restoration and expansion of the home to share with guests the memories and good times of the Wilson Creek River Gorge area. In 2010 we opened my parents home place and named it Creekside Cozy Cabin. We invite you to experience the peace and serenity of the mountains for your next vacation getaway.
