Seriously. Nothing soothes my soul like a trip to the mountains. Seriously. Nothing. Craig and I just returned from our yearly outing to Hippsensteal's Mountain View Bedn'Breakfast just outside of Gatlinburg. It sits squarely on top of ole Smokey and it just delightful. The rooms are wonderful and luxurious and open onto a wrap around deck that faces, well, nothing but more mountains. As far as the eye can see. Mountains. Seriously.
Breakfast at Hippensteal's is decadently delicious and all homemade. It is served on china and crystal and it is well, in a word - yummy delicious. Two words, but you get the idea. If you can sneak away for a long weekend or anytime during the week, you must indulge you and your hubby and head off to Hippensteal's. We rested, we read, we walked, we talked, we sat and we stared for 3 glorious days and 2 nights and it was heavenly. Vern and Lisa Hippensteal are Christians. They are gracious and hospitable and their attention to detail is daunting. This is our 5th time to visit and we were not disappointed. They have 11 rooms I think and are often booked solid. We make our reservations in October a year in advance. But don't let that discourage you. You simply must go. Try it. You will not be disappointed. Pictures will be posted later. Blessings and may all you bedn' breakfast dreams come true!
