    Located near the Lookout Mountain Parkway, this scenic mountain top lodge view is as spectacular by day as it is enchanting by night. Discover why we named it "the secret" from your private balcony or from the roof top pool, which overlooks beautiful Weiss Lake, the Crappie capital of the World. Enjoy the panoramic 180-degree view of two states and several towns below. Privately owned and located atop 12 acres, it is secluded yet easily accessible from the interstate. "Leaf peepers" especially enjoy watching the sun rise and set from the same Gothic rock formations in the fall. Choose to stay in a traditional room inside the bed and breakfast or from one of our unique cottages: The Sugar Shack, The 1850's style Jail, The Nautical Cottage or The Treehouse. The secret is a personal discovery, a treasure found. Come, Discover, Enjoy our wonderful memory-making secret!
