Labor Day weekend at Whisper Mountain

Posted on: September 8, 2009 by Whisper Mountain

Labor Day weekend at Whisper Mountain found the air ringing with the laughter of our new residents Bob and Wanda Wertzberger’s grandchildren. They spent time hiking the trails along Whisper Creek, exploring the community lodge and even spending a night at the tent camp. With pristine weather that showed off views to Mount Mitchell to the east and Mount Pisgah to the southeast, the days were perfect for picking apples in the orchard, hiking and the streamside trails and rocking on the decks.

Penny and Ken Hawks, the winners of Whisper Creek Cabin, the 2009 Southern Living Choose Your Home Giveaway, were also in residence for the week with their extended family from North Carolina. The Hawks are from the New Orleans, and very generously prepared a jambalaya feast at Sky Valley Lodge for their friends and the Whisper Mountain team. The spicy meal was perfect for the cool evening spent watching the sunset over the mountains and enjoying the beautiful cool evening weather.

We enjoyed a perfect Friday night with a fireside meal on the outside terrace at the lodge. With a full moon over the mountain, firelight bouncing off the stone, and candles spreading their warm glow, we were tempted to spend the night right there on the terrace! Honestly it was one of the most relaxing and beautiful evenings that we have spent in a long time. We hope that all of our residents find the time to make these kind of memories on the mountain.
