Hall Cabin, Wooden cabin in Swain County, United States.

Hall Cabin, also called the J. H. Kress Cabin, is a rectangular split-log structure 24 feet wide and 17 feet deep, with a porch across its front. The gable ends of the roof are covered in board-and-batten siding. It stands in the Hazel Creek drainage of Great Smoky Mountains National Park, about 15 miles from Fontana, North Carolina, and is the only structure left in its immediate vicinity.

A man named Hall built the cabin in 1910. Around 1940 J. H. Kress used it as a hunting lodge and had it remodeled. It stands in the Hazel Creek drainage, a thinly populated area abandoned after Fontana Lake and the national park were created. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on 30 January 1976.

The cabin's name links it to two users: the man named Hall who built it in 1910, and J. H. Kress, who remodeled it around 1940 as a hunting lodge. It stands in the Hazel Creek drainage, a sparsely populated area abandoned after Fontana Lake and the national park were created.

The cabin stands in the Hazel Creek drainage, roughly 15 miles (24 km) from Fontana, North Carolina, in a section of the park with no road access; it is reached on foot by trail. Plan a long hike and carry what you need, since there are no services nearby. It is the only structure left in its immediate vicinity.
