If you are looking for a less-crowded alternative to the Great Smoky Mountains, enjoy the discovery of the beautiful Big South Fork National Park. Pointe View Lodge, located near Pickett State Park and Big South Fork National Park, lies on top of a mountain overlooking a scenic gorge.

Upstairs, just past the loft, are three guest rooms and two baths. Two bedrooms are furnished with queen beds and the other has two twin beds. The lower level consists of two large sleeping rooms and two baths.

For the outdoor enthusiast or for the urban individualist seeking a moment with nature, Pointe View Lodge is a place of infinite possibilities. And unlike other natural attractions, Pointe View has not been spoiled by commercial tourism but remains a quiet and secluded refuge.

It is very rare to find such a rugged scenic area with so much to offer. The area abounds with opportunities for hiking, backpacking, paddling, rafting, horseback riding, camping, mountain biking, caving, climbing, hunting, fishing, photography, and sightseeing.

From easy afternoon strolls and summer picnics to backpacking along the cliffs and running the river's rapids, Pointe View Lodge is a place to lose one's self with inner thoughts, with nature, and with the rich geological and cultural histories.
