The Dragon's Nest

This charming, brick ranch-style home was solidly built & still features some classic touches—some might say it has everything plus the kitchen sink (which is cast iron & OLD). Everyone loves that sink! It’s the kind your grandmother had but works like new. The home is centrally located to all the area’s highlights: Joyce Kilmer, the Nantahala & Cheoah Rivers, Tail of the Dragon, Cherohala Skyway, Santeetlah & Fontana Lakes, world-class trout streams & more natural beauty than you can imagine.
