Description

Many folk hike the National Park pathways to reach the summit, and the vistas it offers. You don’t have to don hiking boots, or traverse the Appalachian Trail to get a glimpse from the peaks. Bring your entire family to Mountaintop Experience, a 4 bedroom/4 bathroom mountain lodge atop Bench Mountain in the Dogwood Farms cabin community.

The incredible panorama at this location offers essentially a "double view". By day, look out over the valley to multiple rolling layers of mountain range, looking into the National Park. Completely lovely year round, especially during the changing of the seasons. By night, enjoy additional viewing of both stars shining and home lights nestled throught the hollows and sprinkled across the Wears Valley floor.

The double covered decks offer easy ramp access, and rocking chairs for lounging while dinner sizzles on the gas grill. I honestly can’t think of anywhere I’d rather be that sinking deep into the therapeutic warmth of the hot tub, while absorbing the visual therapy of the natural, outdoor beauty spread across the horizon. Share some special family time, enjoying the mountainside fire pit. Bonfire, campfire, roasted marshmallows, and ghost stories can all be shared together here.

Join me inside. The great room includes living, dining, and kitchen areas, all oriented to capture the stunning view indoors, as viewed through the full window wall. Relaxed and pleasant, the home is dotted with family country antiques.

Light the kindling in the stacked stone, woodburning fireplace, and read a book by the authentic, crackling fire. Put your feet up and access the high speed wireless internet on your iPad for online play. Or choose something on the satellite TV/VCR to suit your viewing pleasure.

Laugh and reminisce over a family dinner. The kitchen is complete and stocked with equipment to cook enough for all. A stand alone ice maker and eat-in seating at the island make casual meals simple. Or seat everyone together at the wooden dining table with chairs for up to 9, to gather and break bread.

Let the children fin their own haven in the game room with both pool and air hockey tables, a TV viewing area with VCR and a stocked selection of movies, and even a futon/bunk bed combination for convenient late-night giggling.

The charming bedrooms all include King beds, and are comfortably spacious. The master suite also includes satellite TV, and a Master Bath Jacuzzi with picture window for outdoor viewing.

Come share a satisfying break with the people you enjoy most. Restore body and soul with a splendid panorama. Remember that the view from the top is best. You won’t want to leave, and come down from your restful recess from the real world at Mountaintop Experience. Reserve your vacation lodge today.
