A classic Appalachian cabin set central to the finest trout waters in the eastern United States — remote enough to disconnect, close enough to never miss a cast at first light.
Appalachian Base Camp sits on a secluded wooded lot on the north side of a mountain outside Elizabethton — far enough from town to feel like the wilderness, close enough that a cold beer, a hot meal, and a good glass of wine are always five minutes away. The Doe River is accessible in about 5 minutes.
This isn't a resort. It's a working cabin built for people who come to fish hard, sleep well, and do it all again the next morning. Everything is set up with the serious angler in mind — gear drying space, coolers, a carport if you're hauling your own boat, and partners who know every run on every river.
Bring the crew. The cabin has room for the whole group, a fire pit for the stories afterward, and a full kitchen to fuel the next day.
Appalachian Base Camp sits at the center of six legendary rivers. Pick your water the night before, wake up, and be on it before anyone else.
A master bedroom with office, a lofted bedroom, and a pull-out in the living room — the whole crew fits, everyone sleeps well, and nobody's fighting over space in the morning when it's time to rig up.
