Things To Do
Deep Creek Trail
~25 minutes from the Inn 3 waterfalls in 4.9 miles. ~2.5 hour hike. Moderate - Hard. I think there may be opportunities to take a rest & a dip if you want to bring a swimsuit. While there is no entrance fee, a paid parking tag is required for those who park for longer than 15 minutes. You may purchase a tag online or at the visitor's center.
Juney Whank Falls Trail
Right next to Deep Creek and Tom Branch (which is more of a quick waterfall view than a hike)! A moderate 0.6-mile loop that takes you to a beautiful 90-foot waterfall. It's a bit steeper than the others but still manageable. Everyone who wants to go can start and end at the same Deep Creek parking area. There are also picnic areas here.
Deep Creek Lodge & Tube Outpost
One of the only places you can tube in a national park!
Fishing Near the Inn
Walking Distance; Just up the road from the inn is a little island that you can typically find some big ol' trout. Colton, Linda, and Nick would be happy to guide you!
Cute Little Shops Near the Inn
Walking Distance; If you go under the bridge (which is not scary here), you'll end up in downtown Dillsboro. Here you'll find cute little art, chocolate, & other shops if you fancy a walk about.
Antiquing in Sylva
A quick drive; Sylva is a cute little walkable town near Dillsboro. There are quite a few of antique shops. A nice afternoon is grabbing a coffee at White Moon and window shopping at the antique stores.
Haywood Smokehouse
Walking Distance; A really great spot for barbecue - there can be a wait - call ahead!
White Moon Cafe & Dark Moon Cocktail Bar
A cute cafe OR "speakeasy" depending on the time of day. Speakeasy is just in the back.
ILDA
A quick drive; A cutesy, romantic Italian restaurant in Sylva Make a reservation to be safe.
Innovation Station
