An authentic 1880s cabin built by W. J. Trail is located in the Smart View Recreation Area on the Blue Ridge Parkway. Those hiking the Smart View Loop Trail will pass the cabin, while those not wanting to hike can park next to it. The parking area is located within the Smart View Picnic Area. Though the cabin is not open, slats in the front door allow you to see inside. There’s nothing inside other than a fireplace.
