Had an amazing time. The trip was a gift to my Dad to get our family together. We celebrated three birthdays, "Secret Santa" and the New Year! The view is awesome, not to mention the Lodge. We'll be back!

We spent a lovely week at Smokey’s last summer. It seemed magical to have driven only an hour west from the hustle bustle of Charlotte airport to the tranquil countryside of quaint small (and I mean tiny) towns and rolling foothills. It was clearly another world, and the lush, park like setting of the area surrounding the cabin was absolutely tranquil.
The term log cabin is used loosely, since this is a spacious house with many bedrooms and three separate interior spaces for gathering. Upon entering the house we had a breathtaking view of the valley and mountains stretching towards the west through the vaulted ceilings and multitude of floor to ceiling windows. You got the sense that you were surrounded by nature, and yet it was also warm and cozy from all the lovely wood and comfortable furnishings. We loved the kitchen – open and accessible to surrounding spaces so we could cook and visit at the same time, and with plenty of room for many chefs. The dining table was our favorite hang out and we spent time lingering around the very large table after many meals.
The downstairs area is the perfect place for teens or in our case - a couple that wants some privacy – there is a massive den that is perfect for hanging out, watching TV, playing board games and when the pool table comes – shooting some billiards. The bedroom down there is nice and isolated, with it’s own bathroom and a lovely view of the surrounding mountains. And of course the décor is absolutely charming (to my husband who loves fishing!)
But the hidden gem was the upstairs area with a separate bedroom, sitting room, bathroom and bunk beds. It was a lovely little hideaway for reading a book, gazing out the windows and stashing our friends who came to visit
And the surrounding area was a pleasure to explore – I spent time everyday walking (actually hiking is more like it) around the cabin neighborhood, taking in nature and getting a good workout. And we explored the local state park – which proved to be very entertaining – lots of trials, varying degrees of incline and activities (fishing, exploring, marked trials with description of local fauna, critters and history). We also visited the many small towns (generous term) – it was like stepping back in time to a simpler era and people were incredibly friendly and food was great.
All in all, one of the most relaxing vacations I have ever had! Thanks Smokey’s!!!!

The cabin was grand in scale, yet delightfully intimate. The facilities were more than adequate....obviously a lot of planning went into it's design and location.
We found it a fun base from which to venture out into the Carolina environs, but just as much fun to enjoy the amenities that were there at the cabin. The surprise was the size of the accommodations and the variety of areas that a large group of people could enjoy without feeling crowded or intruded upon.
We intend to return again to this well equipped and inviting facility.
