 Charming,
magical, spiritual,
sweet Lydia Mountain
has a history
that goes back
to the days of
the Civil War. Within
this mountain,
this town, and
the people that
have been born
and raised here,
there lies a
kinship. An
unusual bond
of friendship,
family and commitment,
driven by their
hearts and connected
by their souls.
It all started
with a gentleman
who had an idea
as so many of
us do. What
began as a fleeting
concept turned
in to a passion-filled
venture that
embodies the
authentic nature
of Buck Shifflett. He
purchased Lydia,
from a woman
named Veronica
who inherited
this mountain
from her grandfather. He
gave Veronica
everything he
had when he was
living and left
her everything
he could when
he passed.

One of the many places to just relax the day away...

Lydia
has the organic
feeling that
one searches
for when considering
a vacation
at a small
town mountain
retreat. With
the perfect
combination
of detail,
personal touch,
professionalism
and the help
of his family,
Buck has been
able to accomplish
what corporations
need large
teams of people
to do.

You're always welcome here at Lydia Mountain...
YOUR mountain.

After
years as the
sole resident,
caretaker and
guardian
of Lydia mountain,
Veronica realized
that it was her
time to
retire. Forever
attached to it's
history and with
great love for
her grandfather,
she finally sold
her mountain. This
would be the
last connection
to the one person
who loved her
more than anything.
However, it just
so happens that
she was turning
this piece of
her heart over
to an abundantly
generous, kind
and most importantly,
intelligent man
who would make
sure she and
her mountain
would always
be cared for.
In addition,
Buck had infinite
ideas and vision
for the land
and life of Lydia
Mountain - a
place that gave
him serenity,
a place that
he had grown
to love. This
was the beginning
of Lydia
Mountain Lodge
and Log Cabins.
From the very
first cabin that
went up, everyone’s
desire to be
a part of this
adventure was
absolute. It
is truly a family
affair, born
out of inherent
character and
unbridled ambition.
While the enterprise
takes a lot of
good old-fashioned
TLC, you can
be sure it has
never lacked
where that is
concerned. From
ground keeping
to book keeping,
to managing the
mountain to working
in the country
store, to working
at the dinner
show to being
in the dinner
show, the list
goes on.

As
Lydia
evolves,
and as
this
journey
continues
to grow
more
exciting
with
each
project,
we embrace
our challenges
along
the way,
taking
it one
moment,
one smile
and one
step
of this
beautiful
mountain
at a
time.
Whether
you are
sitting
by the
fire,
taking
a walk
within
the arms
of Lydia
or simply
getting
a cup
of Joe
at Lydia’s
country
store
we feel
confidant
you will
feel
at home.
Oh…and
for those
of you are
wondering
“who is Lydia”? That
question
remains unanswered. To
this day
we search
for information
to uncover
that story,
and as soon
as we do,
we will certainly
let you know. Hope
to see you
soon!
Warmest
Regards,
Buck,
Tina &
all of
us at Lydia
Cabins
