Our Cabins

All our cabin rentals are on the banks of the Catawba River with the Pisgha National Forest around the corner. We offer small but comfortable, inexpensive camping cabins to meet every need. Parents can stay in a tent and put the kids up in our 8x12 Playhouse Cabins, no more crying and complaining about the rain and the hard ground. There is even room for the parents to lay down in the cabin if they want to. Our Camping Cabin is a large 12x12 rustic cabin with a double bed and bunk beds, sleeps 4 electric with water outside. Our newest is Bear Haven a luxury 12x15 log cabin that sleeps 6, with bathroom, dining area, refrigerator, microwave, air and heat.
