You come around the last curve and the trees open up, and the house just keeps going. Six thousand square feet of stone-and-timber lodge sitting on seventeen private acres with the Smoky Mountain ridgelines stacked behind it and a river winding through the valley below. The grounds are landscaped with gardens and walking paths, and the covered porch runs along most of the house, lined with rocking chairs and aimed squarely at the sunset. This is a big property in every sense of the word.
Inside, the great room sets the tone: cathedral timber-beam ceilings, a massive stone fireplace, leather seating deep enough for the whole group, and windows that pull the mountain views into every corner. The kitchen has a big island, granite counters, and the counter space to handle a real meal for a crowd. A gas grill sits on the stone patio outside for the nights when you want to eat with the mountains in front of you. The dining table seats the full crew.
The house has a lot of character. Artwork and eclectic decor fill the rooms, the stonework and log details run throughout, and the overall feel is a big rustic mountain lodge with personality. Two king-bedded suites anchor the main level with en-suite bathrooms, soaking tubs, and walk-in showers. Four more bedrooms spread across the other levels, and a separate apartment with its own kitchen, sleeper sofa, and twin beds gives overflow guests their own space. In total, six bedrooms plus sleeper sofas accommodate up to twenty-two people without anyone being on top of each other.
The lower level opens into a second world. A pool table and foosball table anchor the game area. Around the corner, a wine cellar sits behind a stone-arched doorway with an iron gate, and a library with floor-to-ceiling bookshelves and a chess set makes for a quieter escape. The TV room has a large sectional for group movie nights, and a record player sits in the corner for anyone who wants to slow things down.
When the afternoon light starts to go amber, take it outside. The stone patio has outdoor dining and the gas grill. The outdoor fireplace, real stone with Adirondack chairs, sits in the yard. The hot tub is positioned at the edge of the hill where the view drops off into ridge after ridge. The covered porch is where most mornings and evenings happen. Seventeen private acres. A river in the valley below. The kind of quiet that takes a day or two to get used to.
Six bedrooms. Five bathrooms. Twenty-two guests. And a whole lot of room to spread out.
