Above the Pines at Carter Mountain

Above the Pines at Carter Mountain is where the spirit of the mountains meets refined comfort, bringing you a timeless escape tucked high above Hochatown. As soon as you walk in, the panoramic views stretch across the ridgelines, and everything slows down just a little. This isn’t just a place to stay—it’s where long talks by the fire, board games that stretch into the night, and that one glass of wine you finally got around to enjoying come together.

Above the Pines at Carter Mountain welcomes guests with an open-concept living area that immediately feels like home—only better. The leather sofa invites deep conversation or a casual nap. A queen sleeper hides extra comfort in plain sight, and nearby, a reading loft with a telescope nudges you toward stargazing with a fresh perspective. A gas fireplace hums beneath the big-screen TV, but it’s the quiet moments—the poufs by the ottoman, the soft crackle of the flames—that create the stories you’ll remember.

Downstairs, two more master suites mirror that indulgence, each with its own private bathroom, king-size bed, and patios that open to fresh air and the sounds of morning birdsong.

Above the Pines at Carter Mountain even makes the bunk room a cool place to be. Downstairs, tucked away from the grown-up corners of the cabin, you’ll find two sets of bunks—one twin-over-twin, one queen-over-queen—where kids (and the young at heart) can wind down in a space made just for them. The ensuite bath ensures convenience without a trek, and like every room here, it feels intentional, not just functional.
