Step back in time and get in touch with nature💚<br>Holyfield Cabin and Bunkhouse

Sitting above Sam’s Creek in the Appalachian mountains, we offer a rustic, wormy chestnut 100 year old, updated cabin ( 548 sq. ft. ) with a screen front porch & covered and open side deck with outdoor wood burning fireplace ( we provide a reasonable amount of firewood and have more for purchase ), propane grill, living/queen bedroom, kitchen & full bathroom with standing shower. Steps away is a bunkhouse with queen bed, bunk beds with stairs, 2 chairs and full bathroom with standing shower. The cabin and bunkhouse are heated and will sleep 1-6 total. We have cards, Uno, checkers, Monopoly, poker chips, the Ring game, cornhole, and have a badminton/croquet court ! Bring your fishin’ pole - we have native brown and rainbow trout right here in Sams Creek - no license required on our private property. It’s like having your own personal park. We now have FIBER INTERNET for your work or school needs. We have a DVR with a 31” tv screen and a nice selection of family movies. We have a Fire stick. Our tap water is from a well that is almost 700’ deep in the aquaphor - pure and clean !
We are centrally located between Asheville NC & Johnson City, Tn. - 30-35 minute drive to either city which are known for their exceptional restaurants, taprooms, arts, and music. We are only 15 minutes from skiing/tubing at Wolf Ridge Ski Resort and Zip N Slip, only 4 miles from Tennessee’s newest wilderness park - Lamar Alexander Rocky Fork State Park, and 3 miles from the Sams Gap crossing of the Appalachian Trail. White-water raft on the world-famous Nolichucky River which is rated in the top 10 rafting trips IN THE WORLD - only 20 minutes from us. Call USA Raft, Blue Ridge Paddling or Wahoo’s Adventures in Erwin,Tn. to make your reservation. Zipline with Navitat in Barnardsville, NC just 30 minutes away. Lots to do and see in East Tennessee or just stay here, never leave and soak it all in... It’s HEAVEN to us ! We are a National Wildlife Federation Certified Wildlife Habitat💚. We live on our beautiful property, across the creek and in the woods - so, if you need anything at all, just ask/text or come on over... we want our guests to be reassured that this is a very nice and safe area. PLUS, we are dog friendly. We do ask that you inform us on the number and type of dogs (limit of 2) that you are bringing and that you must crate them when you are gone. Sorry, no cats please. You will be held responsible for any damages. We offer fresh towels daily and will remove your trash bags. Last stop for gas or groceries- if you are approaching us from the Asheville area, Mars Hill, NC exit 11 has a very nice Ingles. If you are approaching us from the Johnson City area, Food City in Erwin, exit 37 is your place. Both grocery stores are just off I-26 and less than 20 minutes from us. Local laundromats are in Erwin, Tn and Weaverville, NC ( 20 minutes east or west ) for our longer-staying guests to take care of their personal items. Call or text as you take Flag Pond, exit 50 and we will greet you at the top of our paved driveway. Parking in front of the bunkhouse. Please follow our directions as your GPS may steer you wrong - for example, we are on the Right not the left :) If approaching from I-26W, GPS will tell you to take the Wolf Laurel exit 3 - it is best to drive one more exit into Tennessee to Flag Pond Rd. exit 50, especially after dark. It also might be helpful to view our video provided that will show you the way. Thank you for your interest and we look forward to your stay ! Escape, relax, and explore !

We had an outstanding stay!
We have stayed at several different properties in the area over the past few years, but this was our favorite and we cannot wait to come back again. Valda and Chuck have done an amazing job of creating a beautiful and relaxing retreat by the creek. The cabin we stayed in was well-updated and comfortable while maintaining the charm of this historic dwelling. The cabin had everything we needed for our stay, and they were thoughtful and generous with the amenities to make our time there easier and more comfortable. When we arrived, Valda and Chuck greeted us personally and gave us the tour of the property along with the history there which was fascinating to me and added to our enjoyment of the area. When we were outside, we would often see them around the property and we appreciated them checking in with us to make sure we had everything we needed. We enjoyed spending the evenings on the attached deck with the wood-burning stove while listening to the relaxing sounds of the adjacent creek. We often travel with our two dogs who were also welcomed and had a blast exploring the property. We own some land several miles away, and intend to build and eventually move nearby in the future. Chuck and Valda were happy to talk with us about their experiences building this beautiful homestead and offer advice to us as we embark on a similar endeavor. Their kindness and the beauty of the property were powerful reminders of why we want to eventually relocate to this area.

Family mountain vacation
We vacation every winter in this general area and pick a new cabin each year to stay at. This cabin exceeded all expectations and will definitely be one we will stay at again. Chuck and Valda are the best host and make you feel right at home! Chuck taught us so much history about the property that we loved learning! The cabin and property are so beautiful, well kept, and the cabin is so warm and cozy! We loved celebrating Christmas at this beautiful cabin and property! Thank you for providing us with such a lovely place to spend our annual winter vacation.

Just Breathe
A perfect place to get away from the daily stress of life! Breathe the fresh air, feel your blood pressure go down as you listen to the gurgling creek, and enjoy warmth and conversation by the outdoor fireplace. Chuck and Valda are excellent hosts who provide everything you need with a generous supply of extra "sweet treats"! Plan your great escape and, "Just Breathe"!

Perfect cozy getaway!
We traveled from Indiana for the weekend to visit our friends in Johnson City & to see the Bristol night race. Upon arriving, Chuck & Valda gave us a warm welcome and told us all about the beautiful property. I can’t express how much we enjoyed the warm welcome they gave us. The cabin is cozy and pictures do NOT do it justice. The creek running behind the cabin with the windows open while drinking morning coffee was simply the best. There’s a nice state park nearby for hiking as well. It’s a great location and wonderful for guests of all ages. We can’t wait to stay again when we come back next year for the race with the kids!
