Carter Shields Cabin
Stop near the end of Cades Cove Loop Road for a small preserved cabin in a forest clearing. The view works as a brief historic pause.
Why go
Carter Shields Cabin offers a final, compact historic stop near the end of the Cades Cove drive. The small home gained additions as its occupants’ needs changed, and its woodland clearing makes the building easy to study from outside. It works well as a short pause after the larger farmsteads, without requiring another long walk.
What to look for
The Carter Shields cabin is the last historic structure visitors come across on the 11-mile Cades Cove driving loop.
Useful to know
This is among the last historic structures on Cades Cove Loop Road; stop before leaving the loop.
