Cemesto Homes overview
Cemesto Homes
One of the unique things about the Cemesto Homes is that they are some of the few remaining examples of the Cemesto building style, which was popular in the early 1900s. Cemesto is a combination of cement and asbestos, which made it a popular construction material due to its durability and fire resistance. However, due to the health risks associated with asbestos, this material is no longer used in construction.
Visiting the Cemesto Homes is a great opportunity to learn about the history of the Great Smoky Mountains National Park and the people who helped shape it. The district was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1994 and has since been preserved and maintained by the park service. Visitors can explore the homes and imagine what life was like for the families who vacationed there over 100 years ago.
Overall, the Cemesto Homes point of interest is a must-see for anyone interested in history, architecture, or the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. The well-preserved buildings and unique construction material make for a truly immersive and educational experience.

Responsible visitation & Leave No Trace
- Know before you go
- Check the operator's site (BLM, NPS, state agency, or private owner) for access rules, permits, and seasonal closures before driving out.
- Stay on trail
- Many points of interest sit in fragile ecosystems. Stick to marked paths to protect vegetation and prevent erosion.
- Respect wildlife
- Observe from a distance, never feed wildlife, and give nesting birds and denning mammals plenty of space.
- Pack it in, pack it out
- Take all trash, food scraps, and gear back with you. Remote sites often have no trash service.
- Leave what you find
- Don't take rocks, plants, fossils, or artifacts. Federal law protects cultural and natural resources on public land.
