What's near the Cabin
Sightseeing
Even without a boat this lake is amazing. Just going for a quick swim is as easy as a 5 min. car ride. Do not let general public usage, litter etc. scare you away from a sweet plunge in the refreshing mountain water. Fishing is also a major attraction here.

Shady Valley in and of itself is a crossroads of a sleepy Tenn. hamlet. But it is the epicenter of "The Snake" motorcycle and car club enthusiasts. The picture is of "Backbone Rock" which is a lovely State Park and hiking area approx. 20 mins from the cabin.
