Description

When visiting the Great Smoky Mountains, many enjoy the therapeutic sound of rushing water over the boulders that line the beds and banks of the rivers that flow down the mountainsides. Capture that same tranquility while residing at Brookstone Lodge on your next vacation here.

This 6 bedroom, 6 1/2 bath home offers the ideal location for whatever plans your large gathering might desire. From its hillside vantage point, guests can experience stunning views of the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, across the treetops, to the picturesque mountain range vista beyond. With a panoramic open sky view, every season offers its own incredible natural gifts to observe.

For both planned events and personal play outdoors, the home's design provides the setting for memories. Easy access to arrive quickly ends at a generous paved parking area for multiple vehicles, a paved covered portico, and a gently-sloped yard play space. Find every opportunity to absorb the natural surroundings on the open and covered deck areas of the front porch. Get lost in your thoughts swaying on the bench swings. Sit down in rocking chair row for a quiet solitary moment, or indulge in the luxury of no thoughts at all except the swirling therapy of the corner hot tub, with a night sky of stars above. Have a charcoal-grilled dinner at the picnic dining tables, and then gather at the covered stone gazebo fire pit for roasted marshmallows just a few steps away in the yard.

Don't be disturbed by a friendly bear sighting (wooden, that is) outside or even indoors. You will discover the home's interior is an upscale camping lodge with earthy woodland appeal and forest animals possessing playful personality. All can comfortably gather in the wood-beamed vaulted great room, warm with knotty pine wood finishes and a corner ledge stone gas fireplace. The 2-story, full height chalet-style windows enable views of the outdoors from inside the entire space. Rectangular dining seating for 10 can be subdivided for games or puzzles later. The adjacent, open galley kitchen is spacious for multiple cooks, and features a granite serving/dining bar for 4. Lots of preparation counter space makes easy work of snacks or full-course feasts.

The main floor also hosts 4 King private suite bedrooms. The large ensuite baths feature Jacuzzi whirlpool tubs with shower and tiled surrounds. Each bedroom includes its own cozy woodland or tartan bedding and unique flavor to choose from. The upper level offers a mezzanine play area with sleeping sofa, an additional King Jacuzzi suite with separate sitting area, and a "kid haven" bunkhouse room with queen and twin bunkbeds and an extra large ensuite bath.

Everyone can indulge in their chosen form of entertainment throughout the home. Adjacent to the kitchen on the main level is a central game room, where fierce players can compete between a pool table and arcade machine. If kicking back for entertainment is preferred, the upper level media room features a 103" flat screen TV movie screen with surround sound, Blue Ray, and game console connections for an all-night screening party. There are a total 8 satellite TVs, along with free wireless high speed internet access and unlimited long distance for whatever online shopping and social media updates that must occur while on holiday. Also included with your stay are access privileges to both an outdoor community swimming pool and catch-and-release fishing pond nearby.

So while you are here in our mountains, we suggest you take time to choose a large rock in the middle of the river to just sit a few moments and listen. For your personal haven of escape, seek plenty of natural light and maximized views of hillside beauty. Every detail is already covered for you here at Brookstone Lodge.
