Whisper Mountain Beauty

Posted on: May 16, 2009 by Whisper Mountain

Here’s a sneak peak of Whisper Mountain—the getaway retreat just outside of Asheville. Check out a few of my favorite details of the recently won Whisper Creek Cabin.  Part of the Southern Living Choose Your Home Giveaway sweepstakes won by the new homeowner, Penny Hawkes.

How great is this bedroom? I love the formality mixed with the rustic, woodsy materials. I fell in love with the custom hardware and tray ceiling. The rough-hewn poplar bark is the same wood used on the front of the house.

Here it is! The perfect mountain cabin. Can you believe this is a modular home? Built by Haven Homes, the house was deliver by a truck and set on its foundation. Notice all the great finishing details and custom craftsmanship: the Locust supports, the poplar bark, the great-looking fence, and stacked stone fireplace.

A peak inside: Interior Designer Steven Chambliss of says “This is the dog that should live in this house. Better start Golden Retriever shopping! “He used this, along with other original oils to give the cabin upscale flavor. Be sure to stop by his store, Pheasant Hill Design, in Waynesville, NC when you tour the house. The mantel is made from salvaged barn wood - the “W” from Rhododendron branches.
