For our Lily Ridge Cabin past and future guests, here is a link to a post from Grayson County which provides a Helene recovery update. It also includes ways you can help. We are fine compared to so many others in the region and we appreciate your continued support!

On September 27, after days of soaking rain, Tropical Storm Helene swept through the mountains of Western NC and Southwest Virginia to devastating effect. Rivers and creeks flooded roads and farms, destroying homes, campgrounds and businesses throughout the southern Appalachian Mountains from Georgi...

Lily Ridge Cabin is open for business and guests. While we had some damage, we faired very well compared to others across the region. The link below is from the Grayson County Visitors site and outlines travel advisory information. Still beautiful heading into fall and The Virginia Creeper Trail is open from Damascus to Abingdon.

Great news! Virginia Creeper Trail is Open and clear from Damascus to Abingdon and outfitters are shuttle ready. Great time of year for the tour and you will be helping the local tourism businesses get through the Helene situation.

We are pleased to announce the Virginia Creeper Trail is NOW OPEN, from the Start to the Heart, Abingdon to Damascus.

Let’s reverse the ride! Bike outfitters are providing shuttle services for the Abingdon to Damascus section while the assessment and restoration of the upper trail continues. The Virginia Creeper Trail remains closed under US Forest Service from Whitetop Station to Damascus; there is no access to the Virginia Creeper Trail past Damascus at this time.

Bike through the valleys and rolling hills along the South Fork of the Holston River. The trail between Abingdon and Damascus is a gentle downhill grade suitable for beginners and families. Virginia's finest rail-trail, the Virginia Creeper National Recreation Trail, occupies the bed of what was once a rugged mountain railroad connecting the two towns. At its lowest elevation, the trail crosses South Holston Lake on a huge curving trestle.

Parking is available at the Abingdon trailhead, Watauga, Alvarado Station, and the Damascus Town Park. Please avoid using any of the blocked off street parking in downtown Damascus temporarily while recovery efforts are ongoing. Bathrooms are available across from Trestle 1 at the Abingdon trailhead, Alvarado Station, and in Damascus near the caboose.

For over 100 years the Virginia Creeper has been a vital connection between our communities. We are open for business and our trail communities need your continued support. Find lodging, restaurants, and shopping in both Abingdon and Damascus.

We are resilient.
We are rebuilding.
We are OPEN.

The Town of Abingdon and The Town of Damascus welcome you to Southwest Virginia!

Ok…here’s a first responder near Asheville who I would consider pretty credible. If this is how you get your news or form your impressions about this catastrophe and the Goverment’s response…why would you value her description any less than the conspiracy theorists?

I have been in the mountains near Lansing, NC and Whitetop, VA since Friday. I have witnessed first hand the generosity and selflessness of so many in the region. The recovery efforts have been communal and include both private and public (local, state and federal) resources. Most have avoided the political blame game, but still there are those who come down firmly on the side of disinformation. For all the conspiracy theorists who think the right to free speech includes disinformation that can endanger people in need…it doesn’t. Not only that, these false claims about the Federal Government being involved in some grand plan to impact politics using the weather has absolutely no basis in fact. Such claims undermine our institutions and make us seem like a third rate nation. We are and should be better than that and should have some faith in science and in the people who have dedicated their lives to this field. There is absolutely no politics being played in this disaster other than the constant barrage of ignorant untruths being spouted by the easily manipulated in our society who don’t have the time or inclination to investigate what’s real and what’s not. Get a grip and stop believing and spreading the disinformation you see on Social Media and from those who make up their own truth. The only thing we should be focused on now is working together to help those in need.

Lily Ridge Cabin changed our minimum stay requirements to two nights from three. Spring and Summer are the best times of the year to visit the Blue Rudge Highlands because of the weather, festivals and all the other things to do. We have some openings because our average guest stay is longer this year, which ends up leaving two night openings. Check it out and Book Now! Go to www.lilyridgecabin.com
