Now: Two Rivers Lodge




 Two Rivers is a great Lodge. I was fortunate enough to talk a little with the owners Blain and Kathy Shobe, who shared their history and told me a lot about the surrounding area. Blain was kind enough to give me these two old postcards to add to my collection. If you are ever in the area, consider staying at the Two Rivers. tworiverslodgenc.com
