Once you get inside, you really don't know how you are going to take it all in. It is huge!  All of the motorcycles run and during our visit, the curator was starting and taking random bikes out for a spin. A must see!

Great location

We had a great trip. The cabin was in a great location and very convenient to Cataloochee Ski resort. We were able to watch elk in the morning right from our front porch. The kitchen was well equipped for cooking all of our meals. Check in was easy. The cabin was clean and beds were comfortable! Can’t wait for our next trip.
