About the host
Hosted by Geri
I live in Nashville and bought my first Smoky Mountain cabin in 2007 called Chocolate Moose. I fell in love with the area many years ago when Daddy would take the whole family to the area every year. I still remember how much I enjoyed & looked forward to every trip as a little girl. I love remodeling & decorating every cabin that I have bought, it is my passion. I hope everyone enjoys this cabin I named 'FOR THE GOOD TIMES ' as much as Buddy, my Great Pryncess & I have working on it for the past 6 months. Buddy's favorite spot is on the end of the deck watching for bears. He certainly is not disappointed as we see bears at this location daily, sometimes up to 3 & 4 times a day. Since the deck looks right down on Ski Mountain Road, he spots them right away. He is safe with the gated deck or I am sure he would take out after them. He barks and runs them back up the mountain or on down the road. They are such fun to watch & it is almost a guarantee that they will be around.
