What Happens at the Lake Stays at the Lake

If it's the Veteran's Day weekend, it's time for the cousin retreat at DoubleHead Resort on Wilson Lake.

Located on the waterfront, the resort consists 400 woodland acres. The resort wanders along a pine and hardwood covered peninsula where the mouth of Town Creek joins the Tennessee River at Wilson Lake.

Rustic split-level cottages, privately owned, are available for rental. The cottages feature exposed beams inside and log columns on the porch.

This was a perfect ladies get-away for a few days. Although our group was smaller this year than in the past, the five of us had a tremendous time.

Three-bedroom cabins overlook the lake.

The resort takes its name from the Cherokee Indian Chief Doublehead, one of the most feared feared warriors during the Indian Wars. See the historic marker below, which has been erected at the DoubleHead Resort.
