Cable Gap Shelter

First shelter south of Fontana Hilton on the AT. Nice little shelter, originally built by the CCC. Rebuilt in 1988. Water source close at hand. Not many leval tent sights. Has a latrine ! No reservations...first come, first served.

Not something you would expect

This is a new listing, just opening up so some of the details are being finalized. We stayed here in late June and got a sneak preview. The shelter is made from an old, HUGE air conditioning vent. Have you ever looked out a hotel room window onto the roof of a building and seen those large curved intake structures? That's what this is made out of. It is no frills. Just the structure built on top of a wood platform with screen mesh to help control bugs. There are nice, cushy mattresses to lay down on. Other than that, there isn't much room for anything else; it is a place to put your head down. A short walk away is an outdoor composting toilet. There is a community firepit and some amenities you share with the treehouse next door (slackline, swing, and slide). If you are looking for a different place to rest and want to spend your time outdoors, this is a nice alternative to an expensive hotel room.
