📹 duration: 2 minutes
Driving up through Gerton
As mentioned before, we strongly discourage using: US 74 ALT East (usually coming from Asheville passing through Gerton). The Hickory Nut Gorge is a very active Hurricane Helene recovery area.
Google Maps sometimes offer a shortcut to save you 2 minutes but it's not worth it.
A significant portion of the road is gravel. Choose our safest option.
Here’s a fun little visual aid we made to help you see which routes are the best!
We hope the link (visual aid) above and the videos will help you on your way to Cabin Heaven.
*Please note: If you get lost, our cabin is 5 minutes before you get to "Grand Highlands" (there are signs posted along the way).
