Mountain hiking offers many rewards. One of the the ultimate rewards is that feeling you get when, after much effort, you finally crest the peak of the summit. Only then can you drink in an amazing panorama, with a sense of satisfied accomplishment. You can achieve that same satisfaction, with far less exertion, by setting your vehicle’s destination as the Pinnacle. This 6 Bedroom, 6BA lodge is ideally located atop Wilderness Mountain in Wears Valley, with a broad-range, unobstructed vista of the GSMNP and valley foothills, all the way to the horizon.
Whatever celebration you have planned: a family reunion, a private wedding ceremony, corporate retreat, church group event, or a getaway with friends like family, this location is your ultimate venue. Let’s begin our tour with the abundance of outdoor living available. The home features two complete levels of covered, outdoor wraparound decks, allowing guests to enjoy the outdoors carefree in any weather, anytime day or night. The decks angle, wrapping around the building, providing space for both large groups and for quiet conversation. Plenty of outdoor seating is available for all: listen to a spring rainshower in the bench swing. Watch the clouds roll over the foothills (and maybe even over your hilltop) while absorbing your morning coffee in a rocking chair.
The Pinnacle also has the rare outdoor kitchen, featuring a refrigerator, sink, and gas grill with tiled counter. Dining seating is also available for dinner while stargazing, and even a ceiling fan overhead for a comfortable breeze, if needed.
The home's most striking feature is the perfect spot for your outdoor ceremony or gathering. The lovely, lighted gazebo living area includes a ledgestone gas fireplace, built-in stereo, and split-log bench seating. With the splendor of the Smokies as a backdrop, what a magical photo opportunity! So choose your personal quiet spot, or rock away while children ride their toys on the spacious superspeedway. Later, absorb water luxury in the corner hot tub, with both privacy screening and open railings for your scenery viewing pleasure.
Let's move indoors and discover even more amenities found here. Sink into a comfy sofa in the living room great area, and then choose your focal point: gaze at the flames in the full height corner stone gas fireplace, or look out through the soaring, 180 degree window wall to the outside view. Escape by watching your favorite media selection on one of 8 satellite TV’s found throughout the home, which all include DVD/Blue-ray/VCR combination units. Some are also internet, Netflix and Smart App ready. Access the secure 4G wireless internet to check in on social media, or make a call on the house phone to that faraway friend you haven’t seen lately, using free unlimited long distance service. There is also a round game table located in the living area for evening checkers, chess or poker.
All the equipment necessary to keep appetites satisfied is located in the country kitchen, including ample counterspace and a standalone icemaker. The island bar counter seats 5, and two adjacent wooden dining tables seat 8 people each, so over 20 people can enjoy dining together comfortably. The great area offers plenty of open floor space, so a large group can spread out and mingle, without feeling crowded.
Such a wonderful gathering place, but this home's floorplan also offers spaces to play separately, and relax in private. Downstairs offers another complete living room media space, centered around a third stone gas fireplace and hearth. If desired, all sports fans can be assigned to this level: there's plenty of opportunity for competition here in the gameroom. Chalk up a victory on the 8 ft billiards table, or gather a foursome for some fierce foosball action. Choose from 60 options on the multigame arcade machine: kids of any age will be occupied for quite some time! There is also a complete separate laundry and pressing room located here, to freshen linens and clothing during an extended stay, or so everyone can look their best for that special event.
Those same young cousins who have been playing Pacman and Frogger for hours can continue their all night rivalry in the queen bunkbed suite bedroom also located on this level. All six bedrooms in the home are suites, with connecting full baths, and five feature indoor Jacuzzis with tiled surrounds. The bedrooms are fresh and bright, decorated with woodland and wildlife quilted bedding. Some have additional seating for reading or naptime rocking. All mattresses and pillows are ultra plush memory foam with cooling gel for maximum comfort.
