Internet access was a bit sketchy at first... note the cell phone hanging in the tree and the high tech frying pan reflector.

The cabin is in Transylvania County very near the town of Brevard. Transylvania County is know as the land of waterfalls. We're also near the French Broad River... great for canoeing and fly fishing!
The falls are Connestee Falls - about 15 minutes from our cabin.
