Helton Creek runs along the property and you’ll be able to fish for trout. Helton Creek is a delayed harvest for most seasons. Delayed Harvest runs from October 1st until the first Saturday in June. From the first Saturday in June until October 1st, Helton becomes hatchery supported. Helton Creek is heavily patrolled by the NC Wildlife officers. So, if you do decide to come and fish in this stream be sure to have an updated fishing license with valid picture identification.

As you plan your trip to the mountains, please remember we do get rain, snow and some foggy days and occasional inconveniences which are out of our control. Winter weather in the Blue Ridge Mountains can occur from November through April. The majority of our homes are accessed by mountain roads, which will be icy in winter weather. For the safety of you and your party, please be prepared to drive in snow and ice. This means 4-wheel drive, good tires, and chains. It is your responsibility to be prepared for hazardous road conditions.
