Twin Cedar Lodge, a $2 million custom-crafted residence, has become the talk of the town. Over two years in construction, this 7000 square foot residence features an additional 2500 square feet of covered decks and has every amenity and luxury conceivable.
The view from the living room is framed by the Lodge's namesake, a twenty-four-foot-tall cedar mounted within the windows featuring a panoramic view of the Great Smoky Mountains. The hand-crafted staircase featuring cedar trunks and limbs is breathtaking, a one-of-a-kind architectural achievement. The residence incorporates antique décor, a locally crafted dining room table with seating for twenty-two and over fifty antique European stained-glass windows.
The floors are finished entirely in quality hardwood and tile. The walls are beautiful tongue-and-groove pine. The furnishings are luxurious, finished in leather and other high-quality fabrics. All living areas are spacious and comfortable, without resorting to folding chairs or otherwise less-than-ideal furnishings.
The Lodge sleeps twenty-two people, with additional sleeping space for two on a sleeper sofa. There are no bunk beds or otherwise "cramped" sleeping arrangements. Each bedroom has a private, fully equipped bath and a king bed. Every bedroom has access to the four floors of decks. Seven of the bedrooms are accessible to handicapped persons, either on the main level or by the elevator.
The Lodge's amenities include an authentic tournament-quality slate pool table, perfectly levelled. The large swim spa has been a family favorite and the spa room includes a separate sauna, custom-crafted. The media room features Bose surround sound and a 70 inch video/television screen.
Twin Cedar Lodge is conveniently located off the Spur connecting Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge, less than a ten minute drive from both cities. In addition to the great views, amenities and luxurious accommodations, guests have access to the Chalet Village Owners Clubs, offering swimming pools and tennis courts, all within one quarter mile of the lodge.
On a personal note, in the time our family lived in this residence, we were continually amazed that so many people literally pulled off the road to take pictures of this house. We would have a hard time counting the number of tours we have given to visitors struck by the homes unique façade and interior cedar staircase.
We have out-of-state friends who heard about the house from others who had visited Gatlinburg. My family and I are happy to offer to visitors to our beautiful East Tennessee what we believe is the most unique vacation rental available in the Great Smoky Mountains. |
