Map & Owner's Profile
Panoramic Views of the Great Smoky Mountains-Free Mountain Air
Year Purchased: 2007
Why the Owner Chose Wears Valley
My husband and I having been visiting the Great Smoky Mountains for twenty years. We've stayed in Pigeon Forge, Gatlinburg, Seveirville, Walden's Creek, Townsend, and Wears Valley. We love them all. Since we live in Knoxville, several weekend trips a year, even on the spur of the minute, are not out of the question. We've stayed in many different cabins. The problem was that there was always something that could have been better. A cabin with a great view would offer no privacy. One with privacy had no view. We wanted a cabin with as many amenities as possible that we could count on consistently. A "known quantity" if you will. Of all the cabins we've stayed in over the years, none can hold a candle to Mountaintop Experience. It was named A Wilderness Lodge. However, since it isn't in the wilderness and it isn't a lodge, we changed the name to Mountaintop Experience. We hope you have a wonderful experience on our portion of this mountaintop.
The Unique Benefits at this Cabin
The view is simply spectacular. The layout of the cabin was ingeniously designed to showcase the view. We love sitting on the upper deck soaking in the view. If the weather doesn't permit sitting outside, the view is wonderful from the couch.
Metcalf Bottoms Area-Great picnic and tubing area. There's also an old school (Little Greenbrier) that you can walk to from the bridge or drive to from Little River Rd.

Charlie, Jeff, and Lori, all engineers, appreciate the structural integrity of Mountaintop Experience. Debbie, a teacher, can't stop marvalling at the view. Charlotte, our eight-year old enjoys the hot tub most of all. She always makes sure to remember her goggles. All professional hot tub swimmers wear goggles!

This cabin is breathtaking -it has a 180 degree panoramic, unobstructed view. I contacted Lori, on short notice, and she answered my email right away. She was very helpful, gave us perfect directions, and lots of interesting information about the area.. The cabin is beautiful, it is perfectly decorated and very comfortable. This cabin is a homerun-view, luxury, and really great owners. What more could you ask for? I would not hesitate to recommend this cabin. My husband and I are trying to figure out when we can return.
Owner response:When preparing for folks renting Mountaintop Experience, we try to make everything as easy for the guests as possible. The devil is in the details, so we try to have all of the logistics worked out prior to arrival. Guest comments such as this affirm our dedication. We absolutely love return guests. That action speaks for itself!
Recommended for:Romantic getaway, sightseeing, adventure seekers, girls getaway, age 55+, families with young children.

I just wanted to let you know how much we enjoyed your "Wilderness Lodge". It was more than we expected. My family cannot stop talking about how great our vacation was mostly due to the beautiful lodge that we had on the top of the mountain. We would leave in the morning to go Horseback Riding, Zipline down the mountain, tube the Little River and eat loads of great food, but it was always a joy to return home to the beautiful lodge on the top of the mountain. Family rates trip as the best ever.

This visit was awesome! We loved Monopoly and the pool table. Tubing was the best of all, except for fishing. We caught 18 fish! Becca loved horseback riding. The horse's name was Kit. The baby black bears at Cades Cove were cute. We saw lots of bunnies, too. Great cabin, great site and view. Enjoyed it! Thank you!!

This was a spectacular first visit to this "cabin" and the Smokies. As a pair of artists we each did 5 paintings. Margaret is oil and I'm pastel and water color. It was too hot, but we did find shady spots. I never knew that a cabin would have all the amenities! i.e. A/C, dishwasher, etc. Some went hiking and biking (not motorized) and shopping to help the economy! Thanks for sharing such a great place!

What a theatre, just sitting in the living room! The panoramic views of the mountains are right there, no need to even get up off the sofa to see them! This was a great way for our family to kick back and reconnect just before the holiday frenzy. We'll be back...Thanks for sharing!

Wow what a great house! The view off of the back deck is amazing. So fun to watch the clouds and storms roll in around the mountains. Also enjoyed the pool table, hot tub and pool. Great place and we had an awesome long weekend.

We decided to go on our weekend vacation at the spur of the moment and feel so fortunate to have been able to get your vacation home. We love it here and have even thought about using this plan as our retirement home. I can only imagine how beautiful this home is at Christmas and the view in the fall. We are definitely going to have to come back. The alcove in the master bedroom is so cute! That is going to be a project for my husband when we get home. We loved the way the kitchen was placed in the home-you initially think is is small-but actually is very large. My husband and I come to Townsend a couple of times a year I found myself just wanting to stay at the cabin and chill instead of site seeing. There is only one thing we missed-which was internet access. You have a very lovely home. We wish you all the best and may God bless.
