Another #hiddentreasure of Appalachia is this view from Vilas Overlook. I managed to snap a picture at the perfect time—the leaves are changing colors, the goldenrod is in full-bloom, and the cloudy sky is covering the hills like a blanket. That’s right—not even the cloudy skies can diminish the incredible view that this is. I found it on my way to Trashcan Falls, and it is up a dirt road. The view was different than other overlooks like Thunderhill and Howard’s Knob in my opinion because this one was nestled right in a residential area. You can even see the house I had to park above to get this shot! Luckily it was a lazy Sunday and nobody seemed to notice I was there—they were all probably napping after church! #appalachianechoes

"It was a very peaceful stay. Cute little A frame has all you need. The sound of the river, the fire pit, and being able to open the A frame wall made it a fun, cozy and relaxing stay. Good for dogs as well, mine had a blast. "

10/10 Excellent

"Convenient location. Room was very spacious and fantastic! Most comfortable bed I’ve slept in that I can remember. My wife loved the jacuzzi tub. The fireplace was a pleasant surprise."
