EXTERIOR VIEW Pointe View Lodge is approximately 1/2 mile off of Misty Mountain Road down a long gravel driveway. You'll find many trails around the grounds to hike and get back in touch with nature. Or just kick back on the deck and take in the sunset on a lazy afternoon.
	VIEW FROM ACROSS POGUE CREEK GORGE Resting at the edge of a ridge, Pointe View Lodge (the red speck in the middle of the photo) is a jewel in the middle of the forest.

GROUNDS AND PICNIC AREA You'll find three picnic tables and plenty of grassy areas to throw down a blanket for a picnic. Come on out after dark and watch the stars put on a show!
	VIEW FROM RIGHT SIDE OF DECK Looking off into the distance from the right side of the deck, you'll see a view that looks like it was taken from a postcard. Stay long enough and the sunset will change the colors of the sky to brilliant orange, yellows and sometimes pink!
VIEW FROM LEFT SIDE OF DECK From the deck or from the grounds, you have a perfect view across the Pogue Creek Gorge to the bluff views on the other side. Go out on an early morning to watch the mist rising from the mountains as you enjoy your first cup of coffee of the day.
