The dog trot and Gooseberry Knob

One my favorite places on earth(not that I've traveled that much) is a small, rustic country inn tucked into the Smokey Mountains. The property abuts the Smokey Mountains National Park.

I call it my happy place. I want to live there. Though not even this inn could drag me away from my precious grandchildren.

I'll create my own happy place where I am planted. Where I live really is a marvelous and wonderful place, but, alas, I don't have a private chef. And I can't walk out my door, through the opening of the fence dividing the two properties, and step into the Smokey Mountains National Forest.

So, what's so special about this inn? The views of the mountains are breathtaking. The wide porch with rocking chairs is inviting and relaxing. The food is fabulous: breakfast and dinner served and lunch is provided via brown paper bag for hikers or picnic baskets for lovers.

On Wednesdays and Saturdays, picnics are served on Gooseberry Knob. Good ol’ fried chicken and deviled eggs, burgers, salads, seasonal desserts. Oh my goodness, be still my heart.

The dog trot is the open air passage way between the dining hall and the lodge. As you step into the dog trot you immediately see the mountain range with its smokey blue colors and the sunset in the evening. Every morning, fresh flowers, ferns, and mosses are arranged in an old wooden dough bowl. Snap! Snap! I took tremendous inspiration from the creative arrangements.

One thing I noticed was even though you are in wide-open spaces, until you step into the forest, fences were present to show boundaries. They didn't curtail the views and didn't feel intrusive. Instead, they gave a subtle sense of belonging.

I love this about fences: a subtle sense of belonging. Fences can be beautiful as they fade into the background and still allow you to see through them..

We have some exciting projects going on with our customers right now. Join the bandwagon and get that project started!

Call Terry.

 All my best regards,

Debbie Page
