Twin Cedar Lodge, a $2 million custom-crafted residence, has become the talk of the town. Over two years in construction, this 7000 sq. ft. residence features an additional 2500 sq. ft. 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 dιcor, a locally crafted dining room table with seating for 22 and over 50 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 less-than-ideal furnishings.
The Lodge sleeps 22 people, with additional sleeping space for 2 on a sleeper sofa. There are no bunk beds or otherwise "cramped" sleeping arrangements. Each bedroom of the 11 bedrooms have 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 elevator. There is also a half bath available.
The Lodge's amenities include an authentic tournament-quality slate pool table, perfectly leveled. The large swim spa has been a family favorite and the spa room includes a separate sauna. 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 pulled off the road to take pictures of this house. We would have a hard time counting the number of tours we have given visitors struck by the homes unique faηade.
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.
