Description from the manager

"Gakatiyi - Fleetwood, NC." Perched on the side of a mountain and tucked among native hardwoods, rhododendrons and mountain laurel is “Gakatiyi,” a Cherokee word meaning “a place of setting free.” If freedom from the daily grind is what you seek then you couldn’t have planned a better escape. Lots of activities and attractions are waiting and all within a few minutes’ walk or drive. The onsite community lake is perfect for a morning of fishing, the lake is stocked and offers hours of catch and release entertainment. Or delight in a leisurely paddle, a refreshing afternoon dip or an evening BBQ at the lakeside gazebo. You’ll... also want to save time for a nature hike through the wooded ravine to the community waterfalls or take pleasure in a scenic float down the New River only minutes away. River access is available to vacationers with plenty of parking and canoe, kayak and tube rentals are available in nearby Todd if you don’t want to bring your own. Meandering approximately 10 miles from Fleetwood to Todd alongside the New River is scenic Railroad Grade Road, a local favorite for bicycle touring. In Todd you can also find the well-known Todd General Store and Cook Memorial Park where you can enjoy folk storytelling, bluegrass on Friday nights and numerous music and art festivals throughout the year.

When you open the doors you’ll be greeted by the window filled living room where you can enjoy majestic views and the fire’s warm glow. The combination kitchen / dining area is a cook’s dream and off this area you’ll find the signature screened porch with comfy outdoor furnishings, picnic table and a massive wood burning outdoor fireplace.

  Absolutely amazing view. Accommodations were clean/neat with all of the necessary amenities included. The screened enclosed patio/porch was an added bonus. Looking forward to returning again.

  We had a great time at the Gakatiyi cabin. It was in a great location to enjoy the view of the mountains. The cabin was cozy and the screened porch with fireplace was our favorite.

  Very Satisfied Gakatiyi

  Left on 08/09/2011 for a stay in July 2011
  
  

  We were very satisfied with the cabin, yes it is a little old, BUT the porch and the view make up for that. It was very comfortable. And we loved staying out on the porch. The mountain breeze comes up the mountain side and blows through the porch, so it was wonderful! Can't go wrong staying here. I will say the downstairs room in the basement was a little damp smelling and needs a dehumidifier going all the time.
