Experience the charm of a historic riverside cabin, just steps from the famed tailwaters of the South Holston River. The Pheasant Tail Cabin comfortably sleeps up to six guests, making it ideal for families or groups of fly anglers seeking premium cabins on the South Holston River.
The main floor offers a full kitchen, two full baths, a cozy living area, master bedroom, and laundry room. Upstairs, two bedrooms with twin beds provide restful retreats after a day on the water or trails.
Whether you're stepping out in waders to fish the South Holston’s wild brown and rainbow trout, or lacing up boots for a hike along scenic river trails and nearby Appalachian Trail access points, your adventure begins just outside the door.
In the evening, unwind by the outdoor firepit or enjoy the warmth of the indoor gas fireplace. Amenities include high-speed 60mbps fiber Wi-Fi, Hulu + Live TV, complimentary coffee and filters, two milk crates of seasoned firewood and kindling, and a Level 2 EV charger (240V/40Amp) available at our lodge office and gift shop.
Reconnect with nature, rediscover adventure, and relax in comfort at the Pheasant Tail Cabin.
