The driveway is located on the right just 1 mile down Pilot Ridge Road from 221-N. The driveway is steep. 4WD/AWD is necessary in winter months during icy or snowy conditions. Salt and plowing is provided when needed. The cabin is located just minutes from 221N and the Blue Ridge Parkway (very near the Viaduct) with Grandfather Mountain just a 15 minute drive. There are abundant trails and waterfalls along scenic 221N for hiking and exploring. With a little further drive enjoy the shops, restaurants and excursions offered in downtown Blowing Rock, Linville or Banner Elk!
