About this property

Secluded Cabin on River & Creek, 8 1/2 Acres With Pond. No cleaning fee.

Welcome to The Outpost on the Noli!

PLEASE SCROLL DOWN FOR IMPORTANT INFORMATION & MORE ABOUT FEES & RATES.
Discounts for stays of 7 days or more and greater discounts for stays of 28 days or more.

Enjoy the peace and seclusion of The Outpost. The river so close it feels like part of the cabin decor! The setting is at the foothills of the Appalachian Mountains and at the edge of the Cherokee National Forest. A creek and pond on the property enhance the experience.

AND TO PUT YOUR MIND AT EASE: With a background in nursing and having practiced for thirty one years, infection control practices are carried into my home and business. A two night vacancy is required between guests. As well, all laundry is washed with the addition of Lysol Laundry Sanitizer.

The property is centrally located to Jonesborough, Tri-Cities, Greeneville, and Erwin. It is situated for perfect day trips to Gatlinburg, Pigeon Forge, Asheville and Hot Springs, NC, and Abingdon, VA. If you are like many guests however, once you arrive, you will be hesitant to leave The Outpost until time of your departure.

Rustic, clean and welcoming cabin with three bedrooms, well-appointed kitchen and two common areas. Each living area has a futon that converts to a full-size bed for additional sleeping. There is a full bathroom with tub/shower. The second bathroom with shower is in the adjoining structure in the Pavilion. There is an additional large sink in the Pavilion.

So you thought you would forgo the culinary labors throughout vacation. Well, you may decide otherwise when you see the views from the kitchen and the fact that this kitchen is equipped like no other vacation rental. Such a joy to cook while watching the river flow and from two different views!

Grilling on the gas grill on the covered Lido Deck is another option, thereby enjoying beautiful panoramic views. Deciding which outdoor setting you will enjoy while dining becomes yet another decision with each meal.

The River Porch tends to be the focal point of the cabin. Rocking chairs provide the perfect spot from which you can lose yourself while watching the Nolichucky River flow steadily by. Early morning coffee tends to be a favorite activity for the River Porch!

The Pond Porch is accessed through French doors from each bedroom. It not only overlooks the pond but also provides a 'wide-angle view' of the foothills, fields, and creek.. So nice to settle here at night to enjoy the cacophony of the frogs and the reflection of the moon on the pond and creek.

The Lido Deck provides many angles of the pond, fields and river. There is both covered and uncovered decking. The covered area has the grill with serving bar and eating areas. And, if you have ever felt cheated of your vacation due to inclement weather you will likely feel it a blessing at The Outpost! The sound of rain on the metal roof, on the trees and in the river is mesmerizing. You can enjoy the grill and also the outdoor games provided for just such occasions.

The Pavilion is screened with views of the pond and river. There are fans and a fireplace. The Lower Deck off The Pavilion is a favorite, as the proximity to the river lends a presence all its own.

About a 12 mile drive in any direction will take you to nice grocery stores. Local, much closer businesses have what is needed to "get you by" or supplement your supplies. There are close, locally owned restaurants as well. Information about the local businesses and towns is provided to guests prior to arrival.

You will not want to miss quaint and well-preserved Jonesborough, the oldest town in Tennessee. Storytelling is a huge attraction here and in fact, the town hosts the International Storytelling Festival in October. Being the oldest town in the state there are many historical structures. A very impressive Visitors Center has information on tours and events. There are unique dining venues and shops, a local brewery and distillery. There are nice grocery stores and a local Farmer's Market. Festivals are commonplace in Jonesborough.

There are many destinations you will enjoy within the Cherokee National Forest, including hiking trails, waterfalls and picnic areas. The Outpost is less than 2 miles from a gorgeous 40-foot waterfall. Numerous trailheads are in the immediate area. Viking Mountain provides a breathtaking vista. Paint Creek Corridor is a beautiful drive and great for bicycling. There are too many to mention.

As the owner of The Outpost I am confident that your stay at The Outpost would exceed all expectations. As many guests have expressed, "words can not describe it", "pictures do not do it justice". Let the unique nature of The Outpost transform your vacation into a one-of-a-kind experience.
It would be a pleasure to serve as your host to your entire family, including your furry loved ones, and, oh yes, feathered ones too! (I had a feathered guest once).
Dogs, and cats, love The Outpost and I love having them!

The Outpost is a tobacco-free property.

Perfect for a much needed break...
We wanted quality family time while visiting our youngest son during ETSU's Family Weekend...The Outpost was the perfect rustic getaway. We were able to unplug, unwind, and just enjoy every aspect of the property. Early morning coffee out on the porch with a unique sighting of river otters just by the house in the river, afternoon hikes and/or naps, and evenings of grilling out, bonfires, & games. Alex is an amazing host!! She was quick to respond to all questions and welcoming to all of our sons, their gals, and our Aussiedoodles! Being able to have ALL family members there made this getaway even more special. We appreciate that Alex loved our fur babies and understands how they are a part of a family too! Alex is generous, kind, and has the sweetest spirit! We are so happy that she shares The Outpost with others. We can't wait to visit again!!

Great place for relaxing
The Outpost will certainly give you a relaxing and enjoyable experience. Listening to the river, birds, and wildlife is awesome as you sit on one of the porches and take in nature. Great to have the fireplace at the pavilion where you can enjoy it, rain or shine. Kitchen was the most equipped of any place we had rented. Caught fish and they were delicious. So many adventures nearby to explore, and Alex has a lot of info to check out. Alex was a great host who was quick to comminicate and wants to make certain your stay is enjoyable, comfortable, and safe. We thoroughly enjoed our time at the Outpost!

Why they chose this property

A true get-away-from-it all destination, but a central location for many attractions. It also is convenient to local towns and attractions.

Explore the area one day, relax in the hammock or with some fishing or floating the next. The Outpost experience can be what you want it to be.

The Outpost is far from fancy. It is rustic and comfortable and most importantly, CLEAN and well cared for: you will feel at ease and at home.

So come experience what is The Outpost. The solace and the peace. Disconnect and de-VICE. Connect with those you love including yourself. Connect with nature and all that it has to offer.



What makes this property unique

The river is literally directly adjacent to the cabin and there is easy access for swimming, fishing, tubing, paddling and playing. Truly secluded and private with serene views from every angle. You will struggle with which "spot" is your favorite! At times you have the sense you are in a treehouse as you watch the river flow from the porches and decks. I know that once you experience The Outpost, you will feel it's pull on your heart long after your departure.
