Such a beautiful cabin located high with a beautiful scenic view. The layout of this home is fun and convenient; Iâd say it works better for only the immediate family, but there is plenty of beds and space for other invitees.The second floor has a nice equipped kitchen with sliding doors in living room that takes you to the big deck where we sat down, relaxed, and enjoyed the beautiful view plenty of times.Thereâs also a game room on the first floor that we enjoyed. The road up to the cabin is the most fun. It could be nerving for some because it is very moderate, but if you like a little adrenaline, itâs perfect. A little treat on the way up was the spotting of a momma bear and some cubs. Overall, it was a wonderful cabin, we absolutely enjoyed our stay, and had a great helpful host. Absolutely recommend this experience.
The cabin was beautiful. Pleanty of bedrooms and bathrooms. The elevator was great for taking luggage to the 3rd floor. The kitchen, living room and dining room were huge and provided lots of items to make it feel like home. We did not see any bears but were blessed with a glimps of a large cat on the road below. I would like to note that even though we did finally master getting in an out of the drive way by day 3, if your vehicle is not in good shape, or extremely large this may be a difficult climb and decent. I was able to leave my car in the guest parking at the bottom. The veiw is definitely worth the drive and the host provided driving instructions that were easy to follow.
The property is fabulous. The views breathtaking. The main living room and common areas are very accommodating and spacious. Would recommend this property for a great mountain vacation.
This is a beautiful property with fantastic views. It was a well equipped kitchen with everything we needed to prepare a Thanksgiving meal. The rooms were spacious. The game room was a big hit with the grandchildren. The bedrooms accommodated our family of nine. The beds were comfortable. The hot tub was another big hit We enjoyed the fireplace on the cooler days. The location was convenient to hiking at the GSMNP and the outlet mall. The elevator was perfect for accessibility. The drive up to the cabin was a bit scary the first time we drove it. You just need to go slow and pay attention. The television was a Roku television which we were not familiar with. It would have been nice to have known this ahead of time and be given written instructions on using it. The accessible bathroom on the main level does have a shower but it is not a roll in shower. We did have the power go out for a couple hours one evening and were very pleased that there was a generator that kicked on immediately. We would recommend this property for anyone wanting a beautiful cabin for a family vacation.
This lodge is absolutely stunning, everything you dream of when traveling to the Smokey Mountains. My oldest child is special needs and this lodge had all the commodities to support her. relaxing and fun vacation
The property is as described. The lodge was clean and spacious. The view is beautiful. The elevator was a bonus especially when bringing in luggage and groceries. I stayed with my husband and 2 teens (19 & 17). They all enjoyed the property. The kids enjoyed having their own rooms and bathrooms.
Hands down the best cabin we have ever stayed at in Gatlinburg! We loved our visit and hope to return! You can not get better Mountain Views than the ones this cabin provides!
We found the house to be great Just a couple of little things The downstairs door was very hard to lock from the insideAnd there were alot of what we call stink bugs in the house it was very annoying to find them in sinks and bathtub:Other than that ir was a great stay. Thanks debbie
Our family group of 12 (grandparents to age 2) was comfortably accommodated in this beautiful, spacious cabin. The only downside is an initially very intimidating drive to access the property but we made the adjustment!
We would definitely stay here again.
The house was very nice and clean. Plenty of room for all of us. Great weather while we were there. Easy to go to nearby towns for activities. Kids disappointed we didnât see a bear but saw other animals. The drive up mountain was harrowing the first time. Just needed to go slow and a front seat person to navigate was great. And some of the best times were using the resort tennis court. Definitely worth going back.
Great cabin for a large family or multiple couples. Plenty of sleeping spots and bathrooms which was great. Love the cabin/ lodge feel inside and the huge fireplace. Kids loved all the games and old vhs movies that were there.
Although the drive up to the property was a bit nerve-wracking, the quietness and views were amazing. The price and amenities were well worth it. Thanks for a wonderful experience.

Reviewer Comments:
The entire stay was a delight,
The cabin was amazing, when it said a sanctuary for wildlife, they meant. We saw a bobcat and a cub that hung around for a little while⊠we all stayed on the balcony while it was on the ground⊠some of the family members left to do some sightseeing while the others stayed back at the cabin and my niece sent me pictures of the cub climbing upon the balcony and wondering around and looking inside, so when we got back to the cabin it was gone but we did see it up the road while we were making our way back to the cabinâŠ. There was no mama bear.
The owner spent several years making this amazing cabin happen. He saved the log for the mantle and mounted bear for just this great room. With four children and many grandchildren the cabin is designed with space for families to spread out.
