Robbinsville, North Carolina

Robbinsville, North Carolina, is the quaint, picturesque seat of Graham County, celebrated as a gateway to some of the most remote and stunning natural areas in the Southern Appalachian Mountains. Nestled deep within the Nantahala National Forest, which covers the majority of the county, this small town offers an authentic escape defined by a slower pace and pristine wilderness. Robbinsville is internationally recognized by road enthusiasts as the start of the Cherohala Skyway and the thrilling "Tail of the Dragon" (US 129), a road famous for its 318 curves in 11 miles. Beyond driving, the area is rich in history, hosting the Junaluska Memorial for the important Cherokee leader, and providing immediate access to outdoor activities like hiking in the Joyce Kilmer Memorial Forest, fishing in the Cheoah River, and boating on Lake Santeetlah.

These are Shared Cabins!!! Do not rent the white oak cabin if you want a quiet weekend. It’s not a cabin, but instead it’s the back room of a much larger cabin separated by a locked door. There was a family staying next door with loud kids running around. I could hear every word they said from one side of the cabin to the other. Very annoying of you wanted to come to the forest for peace and quiet. The ribeye at the restaurant was like cutting up rubber. It’s the off-season so I’m assuming it was probably just frozen. The lady at the front desk checkin wasn’t very accommodating when we checked in late Friday night. Maybe our expectations were set too high. The campus was pretty and was fairly well maintained. It was nice being right beside the river.

Dog Friendly Fabulous Getaway Perfect family holiday getaway! We stayed in Mountainside, a cozy log cabin cottage for two people and two dogs. Walked a few leisurely steps to the main Lodge for gourmet meals next to the Cheoah River. Relaxed vibe and friendly atmosphere. Scenic views and well-maintained grounds. Minutes from the legendary Tail of the Dragon and the Cherohala Skyway! We took a picnic lunch on the Skyway and took amazing photos of the Blue Ridge Mountains.

Perfect way to unwind! This was our second time staying in Overlook 2 with friends in Overlook 1. Great time away to relax, unwind and enjoy the resort.

Great holiday/weekend getaway Absolutely beautiful facility and location, even in winter. Very quiet, relaxing and laid back. We've been stopping here for years as part of our rides on the Dragon, but have never over nighted here. Booked for Thanksgiving holiday and had an excellent time. Dining experiences and service were exemplary at all meals. Stayed in one of the rustic cabins, which was very clean, roomy and relaxing. Pricing could be considered a little high based on general location, but to us, worth it!
