Located on Hwy 28 in Stecoah, NC, The Kickstand Lodge offers tent camping, individual single bed cabins, a bunk house, and a couple of larger multi-bed cabins. Not to mention, the bath house is the "cleanest in the industry", and is even featured on urinals.net!
I visited Fred and Mo of the Kickstand Lodge late last year, and haven't been able to say enough about them ever since.
I encountered an older woman, riding solo on the Cherohala Skyway who recommended the Kickstand to me. This recommendation came directly after a not-so-pleasant experience at T.W.O, so I embraced it with open arms. Great decision.
Just last night, I was informed that Fred from the Kickstand passed away quietly on New Years day; a huge loss for humanity and all who knew, or even encountered him.
Mo is continuing to run the Kickstand Lodge, and I wish her the best in doing so. This is why I ask that if your travel plans take you to their neighborhood, please stop in, buy a t-shirt, stay the night, or even just stop to show Mo some love.
