The Lodge at Smoky Cove
Nestled on a mountaintop in western North Carolina you will find the Lodge at Smoky Cove. The Lodge was originally built in 1940 by Samuel H. Kress, the owner and founder of the Kress five and dime stores. Mr. Kress built the home to host his family and later as a training center for his staff.
Kress was and still is known for his admiration of European and Art Deco styles of architecture. The massive beams and the lumber were milled right here on the mountain. Mr. Kress then transported some of his sought-after lumber to New York City where he traded it for Italian cut stone. This is the beautiful stonework that we enjoy today on the patio and the front of the building. All of the floors and the tongue and groove walls are original construction as is the 1940’s vintage tile in all of the bathrooms.
