On Top Of Old Smoky

This is our home for the week. A mountain cabin. Literally perched high on top of one of the Great Smoky Mountains.

The cabin itself is called Bellagio Bear. This seems to be the protocol down here in the south. Every place has a name. Oh, it has a street address as well, but we just call it the cabin.

With 5 bedrooms and a home theatre, it is perhaps a touch larger than most cabins. But a wonderful spot to take a family on vacation.

Matthew and Lorraine pause for a staged photo opportunity at the base of the stairs in the main living area. This great room has floor to ceiling windows that soar about 30 feet with a spectacular view of the mountains.

Lorraine is hard at work in the kitchen even though we have been eating out most of the time.

And where do we eat? Well, the Pancake Pantry in Gatlinburg tops the list.

And Matthew demonstrates the best way to consume the pancakes from the Pancake Pantry.
