The cabin, then known to through hikers as the “Appalachian Trail Hilton,” which stood on that spot for about 50-years was burned down by drunk locals in the late 1980’s. Stray embers from the fireplace fire ignited the structure. Lots of beer cans were found all around the site after the blaze. Being so remote and difficult to get to, fire fighters had no possibility to save it. The only two things left remaining were the stone chimney and unattached deck. The Appalachian Trail had been re-routed just a few years prior to the fateful fire, bringing hikers to it’s front door. The National Park Service, using eminent domain laws, purchased the cabin and surrounding land in order to do so. It also had separate quarters for Forest Rangers.

Great camping spot with plenty of flat ground for multiple tents. There's a well pump but the water needs to be filtered/treated.
