If you decide to leave the mountain views to explore the towns, here are some of our favorite spots • Favorite Restaurant: Speckled Trout. Our order usually consist of the trout nachos, chicken and dumpling soup, or blackened trout with mac & cheese and asparagus • Favorite Drink: Hellbender for a spicy margarita • Favorite Restaurant View: Wheelies Refresher (also great drink specials) • Favorite Pizza: Piccolos • Favorite Walk: Bass Lake Trail • Favorite Workout: Run right out of the driveway to the end of Falcon Ridge Road, loop and run to the opposite end of Falcon Ridge road up the steep hill. Jog back to the garage for sets of sit ups, push ups and body weight squats. Finish with another Falcon Ridge lap. Decide to stay in, Piccolos delivers pizza when they have a driver (more likely than not). Doordash will deliver Chik-Fil-A, Outback, Tender Shack and occasionally a few others. Enjoy your getaway and please reach out with any questions. Guest access You'll have access to the entire home, garage and yard. We will send keyless entry instructions prior to arrival Other things to note Please note that as this home is located along a mountain ridge across from a large valley that winds may reach high levels seasonally. Please don’t leave items on the porch in the event winds pick up they may be blown away. The road noise will increase during winter months as leaves fall and no longer act as a barrier. Also note that in icy conditions if you are not comfortable parking in the driveway there is a parking pad at the top of the driveway and parking is also allowed on the street. Ice Melt and snow shovels are provided in the garage if needed.
