Holding
This is an adverse possession case involving 100 acres of mountainous land in Giles County. The 100 acres are part of a 2,475-acre parcel on which Mountain Lake Hotel is situated. Since the early 1900’s, the Moody family, through various corporate entities, has owned the hotel and surrounding property. W.L. Moody, Jr., was actively involved with the operation of the hotel during his lifetime. His daughter, Mary Moody Northen, bought the property and hotel in 1968. Upon her death, the present legal title holder, Mary Moody Northen, Inc., a charitable foundation (the foundation or legal title holder), succeeded to her interest.
