Tennessee Vacation

Last week we had the pleasure of taking a four night getway to Cosby, Tennessee, just outside Gatlinburg.  We stayed at Creekwalk Inn located in the most serene quiet place in that area.  Innkeepers, Janice & Tifton were delighful hosts greeting us with warmth and smiles.  We instantly had a great connection with them and had dinner together two nights.  The first two nights we stayed at the Inn which is in a large log home.  The decor is fantastic, just what you would expect for a log home.  Lots of Native American items,  twig furniture; hand painted and natural and log beds and many whimsical things to look at all over the Inn.
Breakfast was excellent as Janice is a very creative cook.

The last two night we stayed in one of their 30 cabins located in the Smoky Mountains.  The cabin we stayed in was the last one up a very, very windy road going up the mountain.  The first time up was quite intimidating, but after that Bill actually enjoyed the drive.  The cabin had a wood burning fireplace, jacuzzi tub, outside hot tub on the private balcony, an open kitchen, bedroom and 2 inside rocking chairs.  We brought food and enjoyed peaceful walks, good conversation, outdoor grilling and spectacular scenery.  The beauty of the Smoky Mountains is unsurpassed.

If you are looking for a mountain retreat, call Janice at 1-800-962-2246 and tell them Linda & Bill sent you.  You are sure to have a wonderful time.  Be sure to visit their website for photos.

And, I’ll look forward to seeing you at Whispering Pines soon,
