Indulge your unbridled spirit

Come and explore the wilderness of Tennessee as it appeared to some of America’s first settlers, from the saddle. Off the beaten path, you'll see what's under the forest canopy, and maybe even some woodland critters! You'll even discover a bit about our Cove as our guides share stories of the remnants of the historic settlement of the area.
