Welcome. The Hinton Center is nestled in the Blue Ridge Mountains of Western North Carolina, just two miles north of the Georgia state line and fifteen miles east of Murphy.

Overlooking Lake Chatuge, the Hinton Center provides a unique setting for retreats, conferences, workshops, mission opportunities, vacations, individual rest and relaxation, and spiritual renewal.

Many local artists and artisans have studios in the area and welcome visitors. Tour the John C. Campbell Folk School, shop at the Brasstown Craft Studios, explore the many Nantahala National Forest trails or take a stroll around the historic courthouse square in Hayesville. There are many opportunities to relax and have fun while exploring the local culture, scenery and more.
