The sleepy mountainous community of Marble, North Carolina, sits deep within the Nantahala National Forest. Far from any major cities, with the closest being Asheville to the northeast and Chattanooga to the west, Marble is the perfect place to rent an RV if you want to reconnect with nature and get away from big city living. Here in Cherokee County, there is a lot to learn about the indigenous people and the history of the area, as well as beautiful surroundings to enjoy.

The root of Marble's name is interesting and is key to the history of this quaint town. After the Trail of Tears, a large amount of marble was found in the area, making this the perfect mining town. A quarry was set up, and marble was shipped via the newly built railway line. At its height, the town of Marble declared it would line all of its sidewalks with marble as it was so abundant; wealthy people came from all around the country came to marvel at this lavishness. However, the project was never completed, and Marble now feels more like a classic Western ghost town than a thriving mining town. With this old-time atmosphere, you may discover some unique history and sights when you book an RV in Marble.
