Why Cobb Vista? What’s “Cobb” mean?
Not what…but who. Russ Smith’s nickname was Cobb growing up, after the baseball player Ty Cobb. Russ Smith was a man with a huge heart, always a grin and a story to tell, and an infectious laugh that made him everyone’s immediate friend. He loved time in a mountain town and in 2000 he and his wife Scottie bought this house on Peak 7 as a retreat and gathering place for their family. After his death in 2002, we affectionately named the place “Cobb Vista” in memory of him and because, as the laughter and love of our family continues in this special place, we can almost hear dad saying, “will you look at that view!”
We’re the Smith’s, son, daughters, and granddaughter of Russ. We invite you to come and share your own laughter, joy, adventures, and love with your friends and family in this retreat and gathering place … just as we often do! Cobb Vista is a place of warmth, welcome, and yes…a killer VIEW from every room! Come stay, relax, and enjoy!
