About the Cabin

Built by moonshiner, Harvey Nichols, this chestnut log cabin is located in the Central Section of SNP. Access the cabin by a strenuous 3.8 mile hike-in from the park boundary at Graves Mill. This the longest hike-in of all PATC cabins and, as a result, this cabin is only recommended for experienced backpackers. There, you will find a main floor complete with 2 bunks, an eating area, counter space, and a wood stove for heat. Find a loft space for up to 7 mattresses and a large, covered porch in the front. Hikers can explore the trail system in SNP. Nearby Jones Mountain Trail leads to a spectacular view at Bear Church Rock. Note that firewood should be used conservatively, and outdoor fires are not permitted per park regulations. Be prepared to pay the park entrance fee.

Note: The wood stove at Jones Mountain should be used for heat only. Plan to pack a camp stove for cooking.

For more information on this and other PATC cabins, we recommend acquiring and reading a copy of our PATC Cabins Book.
