Shopping and Dining
Surrounded by the Blue Ridge Parkway, Cherokee National Forest, and parts of the Appalachian Trail, our Tennessee Vacation Getaway is located right along the Watauga River in scenic Northeast Tennessee. Nestled deep in Carter County, you'll be very close to places to enjoy the outdoors, and attractions such as the Bristol Motor Speedway, Johnson City Mall, and many great places to visit in Western North Carolina as well.

For those that like to spend the day browsing boutiques, galleries and shopping centers there are many great choices. For unique gifts, collectibles and other handmade items, shop at many of the great general stores and gift shops located along the Watauga River, Watauga Lake, Elizabethton, Hampton, and Roan Mountain. Elizabethton and Johnson City are larger metropolitan areas, offering most chain stores, and even a large shopping center, the Mall at Johnson City. For those who love antiques Elizabethton's historical downtown area is the place to go. Downtown provides a variety of antique and specialty stores that satisfies all tastes. We recommend having lunch at either the Coffee & Co. or Red Chile. Afterward, a walk to the covered bridge - built in 1882 - makes for a relaxing day. The border of Western North Carolina is also filled with great antique stores. The TN and NC region is considered an antique wonderland that is filled with great antique stores. You'll want to learn more about the renowned antique shops found in Banner Elk NC, which is a small mountain village located just over the state border.
