In an effort to have some "me time" and to celebrate our 50th birthdays, my 4 girlfriends and I stayed at Fallen Timber Lodge in Blue Ridge in July 2013 and we had an absolute blast. The cabin was beautiful. It was huge, spacious, clean, and the temperature, even though we had no control over the thermostat, stayed at a temperature that was comfortable for us - even at night. In the interest of complete transparency there were two minor things that were of concern to us: the outdoor furniture was not clean (but hey, it's outside we get it); the other was no shades on the windows - that was a bit disconcerting for 5 women - at night, ten miles off the main road... However, it didn't stop us from relaxing and have a wonderful, wonderful weekend. We laughed, danced, cooked, ate, talked, watched tv, read, sat in silence on the veranda in the rocking chairs and on the porch swing and played board games and pool (yes, the cabin had a pool table) - all in our PJs! We never left the cabin and had one of the best times in our lives. We are already looking forward to next year when we can and will do it again. Thank you Gary and Kristen! I can't remember the man's name that I called because I couldn't' figure out how to work the remote control for the tv, but thanks to him as well. He was so sweet and helpful. Great, great, great time in Blue Ridge! Yay!!!!!!
