About Cumberland Gap

Nestled in the valley below the famous mountain pass where Tennessee, Kentucky, and Virginia meet, Cumberland Gap is a quiet hamlet surrounded by the scenery of Cumberland Gap National Historical Park. The town offers a relaxed, tight-knit atmosphere centered around a charming historic downtown. You can easily stroll past local cafes, antique shops, and original 19th-century storefronts, or hop directly onto park hiking trails right from the streets. Everyday amenities, schools, and Lincoln Memorial University are just a five-minute drive away in neighboring Harrogate, making Cumberland Gap a wonderful, low-key haven for outdoor enthusiasts who want a historic mountain village to call home.
