I had been staying at a cabin with my roommate and her family. We arrived at night at a time when I could not see the pond. When I woke up the next morning, we went outside and I was in awe of the beauty. It was bright, vibrant, and perfectly picturesque. The cabin we stayed in was hard to get to; it was on a one way gravel road up the side of a mountain. It is seemingly untouched, yet if I had turned the camera around, the viewer would notice power lines running up the side of the mountain. This picture seems to preserve the idea that Appalachia has not been touched by humans. #appalachianechoes ](https://images.trvl-media.com/place/181395/035c362e-1365-4ada-8a82-e0b86337e1e1.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=1040&h=580&q=mediumHigh) ![This photo was taken just inside the Tennessee border.

It possesses many of the qualities that are present in the people of Appalachia. The walkway leading up around the corner seems to entice the viewer, it seems to say "follow me!" So many people associate the idea of travelling or journey with this region. It could be because of the Blue Ridge Parkway, hiking trails, or the seemingly endless sprawl of the mountains themselves. A part of the house is visible in the top right of the picture which is challenging the idea of "pure, untouched" land that many seem to associate with Appalachia. #AppalachianEchoes](https://images.trvl-media.com/place/181395/904086df-f476-4b3d-8d2b-861e72864023.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=1040&h=580&q=mediumHigh) ![This image was created on a slightly warmer day at a popular swimming area right outside of the North Carolina border and barely inside of Tennessee at Watauga Lake. The child in the image is placed within the yellow pipe border that is placed on the beach for people who decide to go swimming to have a sense of boundary on depth of the water and something to rest on if they get tired while in the water. #appalachianechoes](https://images.trvl-media.com/place/553248621532657229/7c8eb4be-db60-4286-99c4-617bed4187a3.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=1040&h=580&q=mediumHigh) ## Visit Butler Things to do - Butler Hotel Deals - Vacation Rentals in Butler ![MTN CABIN LAKEFRONT,CANOE/3 KAYAKS,POOL TABLE,DOCK,FIRE PIT, FIREPLACE,JACUZZI](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/34000000/33570000/33560100/33560030/1da54555_y.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=340&ch=150) ### MTN CABIN LAKEFRONT,CANOE/3 KAYAKS,POOL TABLE,DOCK,FIRE PIT, FIREPLACE,JACUZZI Butler TN Stay at this cabin in Butler.

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 #vilas #overlook #appalachia #mountains](https://images.trvl-media.com/place/500725/5adfed9e-b6a9-496d-90ab-e3242102c394.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=512&h=288&q=medium) ### Vilas ![When thinking of healing modalities of "Appalachia", the first image that often emerges is something that resembles a sort of folk medicine, but merely 6 miles from Boone lies a clinic and school that merges Western medical perspectives with the philosophy and science of Chinese medicine. Sean Marshall created the school in 1997, with the belief that, “ It is as esoteric as any philosophical system could be and, at the same time, as stringent a science as any modern intellectual discipline.” One healing modality, or aspect of what the Chinese call “Zhen-Jiu”, which roughly translates as “Needle (Zhen) – Burn (Jiu)” utilized is acupuncture. This refers to the practice of inserting fine metal needles into specific physical and energetic “channels” to stimulate the body’s own capacity to respond and heal. The other aspect, "Burn” refers to herbs that may supplement the body in the case of deficient energy. #appalachianechoes](https://images.trvl-media.com/place/3000450974/5f794483-0527-424e-a158-6018a56e535d.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=512&h=288&q=medium) ### Sugar Grove - Cities near Butler - Places of interest [Mountain City](https://expedia.ca/Mountain-City.dx10265)[Vilas](https://expedia.ca/Vilas.dx500725)[Sugar Grove](https://expedia.ca/Sugar-Grove.dx3000450974) - [Sugar Mountain Resort ](https://expedia.ca/Sugar-Mountain-Resort-Banner-Elk.d6321090.Vacation-Attraction) - [Appalachian State University ](https://expedia.ca/Appalachian-State-University-Boone.d6172349.Vacation-Attraction) - [Bristol Motor Speedway ](https://expedia.ca/Bristol-Motor-Speedway-Bristol.d6091055.Vacation-Attraction) - [Grandfather Mountain ](https://expedia.ca/Grandfather-Mountain-Linville.d6162851.Vacation-Attraction) - [Pisgah National Forest ](https://expedia.ca/Pisgah-National-Forest-North-Carolina.d6337417.Vacation-Attraction) - [Johnson City Mall ](https://expedia.ca/Johnson-City-Mall-Johnson-City.d6131676.Vacation-Attraction) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/mad-service/footer/bnaBanners/BEX_Footer.jpg) ## Go further with the Expedia app Save on select hotels and earn double points when you book on the app. Our app deals help you to save on trips so you can travel more and manage it all on the go.
