Brew Pub/restaurant

Great beer(Soulvation, Phat Chance, etc), and an excellent food truck connected to it. There is a wood-fired pizza place next door, Pie Times, that is excellent as well.

Lunch/Dinner restaurant

Dillsboro - In WNC, it's the best BBQ west of Asheville. Closed, I think, Sun/Mon/Tues. The original location is in Waynesville off exit 100.

Breakfast/Lunch Restaurant

Best breakfast place within a 30 minute radius of the cabin. Open daily for breakfast/lunch. Diner is approx 15 minutes from Moonlight Ridge. Likely a line when you get there, but worth the wait.

Hiking

An approx 1.4 mile out-n-back high elevation hike about 15-20 minutes away from cabin. To Parkway, then toward Cherokee. Can be part of a driving loop that includes visit to Maggie Valley and Waynesville. https://www.alltrails.com/trail/us/north-carolina/waterrock-knob-trail

We love this hike. It's high elevation boreal forest. Not a view from the top, but some nice views on the west side of the loop. Recommend hiking the loop counter-clockwise. https://www.alltrails.com/trail/us/north-carolina/richland-balsam-nature-loop-trail

Nice hike, can be made as an out-n-back Sam Knob summit hike, or take the trail that swings to the south(Flat Laurel Creek) for a nice 5-6 mile day hike. It's in an area of abundant blueberries in July/August
