Loop
Trail Extension!
Walking and hiking are
a passion for many of our guests that come to Fire Mountain.
As many know the Southern Highlands are a hiking paradise.
Fire Mountain is located in the Nantahala National Forest
and is surrounded by five other National Forests and the
Great Smoky Mountains National Park.
At Fire Mountain we have
hiking trails that are passive to moderate in scope.
This past year work started on our new Loop
Trail which will combine some of the existing
trails on Fire Mountain with a new trail being developed
into one “very fascinating” Loop
Trail that will take you through every type
of terrain and many of the vantage points that we have on
the mountain. The distance of this new trail will
be approximately three miles.
A
new portion of the Fire Mountain Loop
Trail will open this spring. We will
keep you posted about this exciting development at Fire
Mountain as the work progresses. At present time completion
of the Loop
Trail is expected
in 2010.

Angelina
& Jolie - PET FRIENDLY!
 |
Fire
Mountain takes great pride in being dog friendly since
our inception. If you would like to bring your
dog on your next visit please check and see if the
Fire Mountain pet
policy meets with you and your dog’s
approval.
As
many of our repeat guests know we have two doggie
staff members at Fire Mountain. Their names
are Angelina and Jolie. They are Cavalier King
Charles Spaniels, sisters from the same litter and
now six years old. Needless to say they command
the top of the mountain. |
Hopefully
when you visit they will be working and you will have an
opportunity to meet them. They are very sweet and
adorable and bring much joy to the top of the mountain.
Remember
that we always welcome your pet with pet amenities that
are waiting in your Cabin upon arrival. Your pooch
will be thrilled!

The
Gallery - NEW WORKS!
 |
The
Gallery at Fire Mountain is located in a free standing
building on top of the mountain within the complex
of buildings that create the Fire Mountain Inn.
The contemporary art collection at Fire Mountain is
all privately owned and strictly for the enjoyment
of our guests. There is no art for purchase.
The collection is rotated several times during the
year within the Gallery and the accommodations at
Fire Mountain. As a result each time you come
back to Fire Mountain for a return visit you should
be able to see and enjoy different pieces. The
collection includes paintings in all mediums, photography,
and sculpture made of metals, marble and fused glass
along with pottery. |
We
are proud to announce three recent acquisitions to the collection:
Martin
Dawe "Niya," 72" height,
bronze sculpture, 2003

Patti
Quinn "Stargazer,"

This photograph is presently on loan to the Bespoke Gallery
in Chelsea in Manhattan. This photograph was published
in the New York Times Newspaper on January 27, 2005 in an
article about photographer Ruben Cox's most recent work
which is presently being shown at the Bespoke Gallery.
The photograph was also published in the January 2005 issue
of Art Form Magazine in an article about Ruben Cox.
From
paintings by Ida Kohlmeyer to sculpture by Isamu Noguchi
the collection is broad and diverse. Once you see
and experience the collection you will understand even more
our need for privacy and safety in our secluded location.
You will also find that there is nothing quite like this
on top of a mountain in any part of the world that we know
of. A most wonderful experience for our guests to
have and enjoy!
