Ride Hard. Rest Easy.
Nestled right in the heart of the legendary Tackett Creek trail system, The Heart of Tackett puts you at the center of over 600 miles of adrenaline-fueled action across the rugged Cumberland Mountains. Located just a quarter mile from trails, guests can enjoy Tackett Creek without having to trailer or road ride. With access to advanced trails and scenic novice trails, including popular locations such as Sand Cave, Slate Rock and McLean Overlook, roll straight from your cabin door and within minutes enjoy steep climbs, rocky ridges, thrilling creek crossings, and jaw-dropping overlooks—pure backcountry excitement that turns every ride into an epic adventure.
Our cabins are a great place to enjoy a break from the trails, complete with lakeside and mountain views. After enjoying the trails, retreat to our luxurious, fully-furnished cabins where modern comforts meet authentic mountain charm. Gather around the fire pit with your crew to swap stories, breathe in the fresh Tennessee air, enjoy the nature and wildlife or just recharge under the stars. This is where heart-pounding thrills and true relaxation collide, creating memories to last a lifetime that keep riders coming back for more.
