About the property

Small cabin.
Big character.

NE TN Trout Country

Appalachian Basecamp sits on a secluded wooded lot on the north side of a mountain outside Elizabethton — far enough from town to feel like the wilderness, close enough that a cold beer and a hot meal are always five minutes away.

This isn't a resort. It's a working cabin built for people who come to fish hard, sleep well, and do it all again the next morning. Everything is set up with the serious angler in mind — gear drying space, coolers, a pull-in garage if you're hauling your own boat, and partners who know every run on every river.

Bring the crew. The cabin has room for the whole group, a fire pit for the stories afterward, and a full kitchen to fuel the next day.

Secluded mountain lot — wooded, private, quiet
Pull-in garage for boats and gear
Gear drying and organization space built in
Outdoor fire pit for evenings after the water
5 minutes to Elizabethton restaurants, shops & breweries
Kid carriers available for families hitting the trails
