Rose just needed to get out. The snow and the trees were great, but she needed to get out of the cabin and out of her own head. She grabbed her down jacket, wool socks, hat, and everything else she needed for a walk in the Arctic. Ok, it's not exactly the Arctic, it’s just Tennessee. The snow crunched under her boots almost like wet sand. Not really, but living in Miami for most of her life, she had little else with which she could compare that sensation. She inhaled deeply. The cold scent of pine, snow, and wood smoke stung her nose and felt a little harsh on the back of her throat.

That trail would take her down the quarter-mile stretch that led to the site manager. There were eight cabins on site, spread across a little less than thirty acres, abutting state park land in the Great Smokey Mountains. Cabins could be driven to, but there were no paved roads and not easily accessible. The secluded aspect in the upper mountain setting was what made the rental properties here very exclusive and sought after. Most guests opted for a pick-up, where someone from the main office would put your car under their carport and drive you to the cabin with all your supplies in their SUV. The site manager also offered to deliver supplies on his runs to the store for a small nominal fee.
