![]() Wrought iron barstools with leather seats and a nearby breakfast nook offer casual seating options, while an adjacent dining room is ready for large holiday gatherings. While cooking at the center walnut butcher block island, the couple can enjoy scenic views of the river and mountains in the distance. “We wanted a woodsy feel, so we went with shades of browns and buttercream,” Beth says. Knotty cherry cabinetry is paired with a sandy-toned tile backsplash, creating a full spectrum of warm browns. Just off the living room, the kitchen features eye-catching accents like an elegant range hood and two blown glass light fixtures that illuminate the space with a candle-like glow. Built-in bookshelves flank a stacked-stone fireplace for a cozy touch, and ruby-toned accents add richness to the striking space. We never get tired of the scenery,” Beth says. White pine trusses highlight the room’s high arched ceilings, while a large picture window showcases miles and miles of mountainous views. The living room has the feel of a rustic lodge, but also features clean, contemporary touches. The exterior makes use of stacked stone, cedar shake siding, and wood accents, while the interior has a mountain modern aesthetic. And in a funny twist of fate, it’s on the very same street as their first Signal Mountain home. After months of gathering design inspiration and consulting with experts, the couple has turned their vision of a mountain lodge into a reality. ![]() Today, the property – which boasts sweeping views of Lookout, Raccoon, and the Blue Ridge Mountains – is the site of the Hacketts’ retreat-style home. It gives me chills to think about it now.” “But when we left, we knew immediately we had to have it. “We had to put on our hiking boots and climb up rocks to get a feel for the views,” Beth recalls. By hotel shuttle ( driver not good) - only one time 2.by public transport ,access not easy for first timer esp at night 3.by taxi which costs 25 euro from malpensa at night and 20 in day I played smart and came back from milano central to gillarate station in 4.Shady woods and a dirt road were all that existed when the Hacketts first visited their Signal Mountain property. We went for walk in village to find bus stop, i heard shouting voices and quarrel from two houses- yeah however i also met a family who helped us alot and dropped to airport malpensa because it was sunday and only there were two buses whole day- Moreover there are only three ways to reach hotel 1. However its located in nearby village where i found a mixture of illetrate and good people. Hotel provided free transport to and from airport. Hi i stayed for one night with my family in ascot lodges near malpensa airport Hotel was excellent with big rooms,rooms were well furnished however carpets were shabby, overall good value for money. There was one upside in that the staff were extremely friendly and helpful and spoke good English.… Fine if you like pizza, a little restrictive if you happen not to. There are no food facilities in the hotel, and only two pizzerias in town within reasonable walking distance. ![]() Breakfast came with the extra charge of 5 Euros per person. There were no tea or coffee making facilities in the room, For the price we paid - 75 Euros - this really should have been included. The beds were uncomfortable, with springs able to felt in the mattress. We left the bathroom window open for some air, only to be find hundreds of dead mosquitoes all over the floor and in the sink/ toilet in the morning. To feel any cold air at all you had to place your hand directly under the grill. The air conditioning unit was not adequate to cool the room on a hot night. The occupants of the next room continually flushed the toilet and used the shower at around 3am, and the walls were so thin it sounded like it was in the same room. During the night, commotion could be heard from the corridors and other rooms, including babies and children crying. In my own experience there were a catalogue of problems, as follows: The hotel was extremely noisy. I can only think that other travellers are very easily pleased. I was very surprised to find so many positive reviews for this establishment elsewhere on Tripadvisor.
