Glenn Acres is off of Hwy 151 also known as Pisgah Hwy….but did you know that George Vanderbilt was originally responsible for building what is now known as Pisgah Hwy?

It may be hard to believe, but in 1896 George Vanderbilt wanted a summer hunting lodge. I mean let’s admit it, sometimes you just want to escape the confines of your home and get away…can I get a AMEN up in here?!?!?! I guess we have to forget the fact that the Biltmore House was the most luxurious home in America.

Ole George needed a getaway and built a opulent “hunting shack” in Buck Spring Gap. The summer hunting cabin was two stories with many rooms with several other buildings including a Midway Cottage, Separate Dining-Kitchen building, and staff quarters. The summer hunting lodge was known as Buck Spring Lodge. Buck Spring Lodge was built in Buck Spring Gap which is close to Mount Pisgah.

George didn’t stop there though…He also stocked the waters with fish and filled the surrounding forests with more deer and bear. I mean if you’re gonna have a place to hunt might as well have lots of game to hunt.

The original way to get to Buck Spring Lodge was via a 16 mile horse trail called the Shut-In Trail(now part of the North Carolina’s Mountain to Sea Trail), but in 1910 George Vanderbilt decided that to wine and dine many of the important guests of the day he needed a road. This allowed important guest like the Secretary of War, the Secretary of Agriculture, and the Secretary of the Interior to enjoy the “wilderness” created by the same builders of the Biltmore house.

By 1912 Buck Spring Lodge had electricity, hot water, telephone service, tennis and croquet courts as well as an icehouse. I mean who doesn’t enjoy a little comfort on your trip away from home….Am I right?

The Buck Spring Lodge was destroyed in 1961 by the Park Service for reasons of affordability of upkeep, but you can still see the ruins of this once fabulous hunting lodge by a hiking trail located on the Blue Ridge Parkway at milepost 407.7. This trail is listed as an easy 2.5 mile (1.25 in and out) hike with an elevation gain of only 233 feet with gorgeous views along the way.

If you’re looking for a get away from your home keep us in mind. We’d love to host your trip and point you to some interesting points of interest for the area. We don’t have an icehouse, tennis or croquet court, but we have everything else….including some the ancestors of animals that George stocked in the wilderness many years ago.

Also follow Glenn Acres. It’s my hopes to point out some other interesting sites, history, and legends in our area.

We hope to see you soon!!!!
