Visit Cherokee County “Simply Wanderful”- Where NC begins. At the crossroads of GA and TN, encompassing Murphy, Brasstown, and Andrews, North Carolina. Adventure begins here!

Experience a memorable hike & tastiest bite. From our River Walk to the peaceful Lake Hiwassee. Cherokee County, situated in Western North Carolina encompasses the communities of Murphy, Andrews and Brasstown, where forested mountains (rather than skyscrapers) seem to touch the sky, lakes sparkle like jewels in the sun and the air is crisp and clean. It is a quiet area located in the south western

corner of North Carolina and has come to be known as the “Gateway to the Smoky Mountains.”

The area is filled with mountains, lakes, rivers and streams providing us with breathtaking landscapes and an unlimited amount of outdoor activities to try out. Whether you are just wanting a little fresh mountain air or want to try out something exciting, such as hiking, mountain biking, whitewater rafting or another outdoor activity, we have hundreds of opportunities for you to satisfy your outdoor cravings. If you aren’t up for the outdoors, don’t worry! We also have plenty of shopping, museums, breweries and wineries for you to check out. Since Cherokee County is bordered by Tennessee and Georgia, it is conveniently located within 2 hours of four major cities: Chattanooga, TN, Knoxville, TN, Asheville, NC and Atlanta, GA, giving residents and visitors the best of both worlds. You can easily enjoy a quiet escape without being too far away from anything the city has to offer. With its small town feel, warm Southern hospitality and plenty of things to explore, Cherokee County, NC is the perfect destination to unplug and get away from the stress of everyday life. So, pitch a tent or check into one of our cabins, hotels or resorts, and stay a while! You’ll be happy you did!
