Our family reunion/birthday party had a wonderful experience at this house. The views were awesome of the Smokies! Sitting on the porch swing with a beverage and taking in the Mountain View was my favorite. We could even see the house from Anakeesta! Ed was very responsive to anything we needed help with, including info on the bears that visited. We had no issues with them and got some great pictures!
The cabin was perfect for our group of 16 people. Yep, for the drive up it helps to have an SUV. But, you're in the mountains! The view is spectacular! Cabin is older, but has every comfort we could have needed. So many TVs, bathrooms, bedrooms, excellent kitchen and living room. And, so many porches to view the mountains. We had a fire every night. Saw bears every morning and evening. Could not have picked a better spot for our entire family to gather and enjoy time together. Highly recommend this rustic cabin with all of the comforts. Ed is a great host, he answered all of our questions immediately. Would not hesitate to stay at the Lodge again.
Our large multi-generational family had a wonderful stay at The Gatlinburg Lodge. At first, it was interesting navigating the downstairs "maze" of seven bedrooms and five bathrooms, but it was a fantastic use of space. The kitchen, living room, and two large bedrooms are located on the second level and, overall, the cabin works very well. The views of the mountains (and downtown Gatlinburg) are second to none (by far, the best I have ever witnessed). Several have commented about the drive up to the cabin, and it is certainly interesting; however, it is quite manageable with two-wheel drive. Just make sure you shift to a lower gear. We also made use of the large firepit for s'mores, and having two refrigerators/freezers was great. The A/C worked great and there was plenty of hot water with good pressure throughout. Ed was a wonderful host, answering all our questions and responded within a minute or two each time. I highly recommend the cabin for large gatherings.
Property was pretty. The drive to the cabin was not at all described as driving up an extremely steep hill all gravel. The hot tub needed cosmetic work, a lot, but felt nice to sit in. The kitchen was well stocked for cooking. Most of the beds were comfortable. The view was beautiful. Host was easily contacted and responded quickly.
Best views in Gatlinburg! Held a bachelor party here and no one wanted to leave the cabin! Easy check in/check out and owners were always available to us. Everyone already wants to plan another trip down. Until next time
The host was excellent! Gave us a free extra night due to the snow and did everything he could to help us get out! The cabin was very welcoming and such a great getaway.
The views were amazing! Communication with the host was excellent! The cabin was wonderfullly stocked. Our large family had a great time. Temperature control was drastically different in each room, which was challenging. Unit was clean, but it seemed it had been sitting empty for awhile since it was cleaned last. The road to the cabin was treacherous. It’s totally worth it, but be prepared!

This review has nothing to do with our host experience but to highlight what was not clearly relayed especially in other reviews to determine if you would even book the lodge. Check Google maps and get a visual on the road leading to the cabin.The road is horrendous. If you have anything other than 4 wheel drive, your drive up will be dangerous. I figured out to drive as close to the edge as possible in some areas just to maintain traction. So the road needs some serious tlc and maintenance. The cabin has beautiful views. I mean that is the highlight. The decor is old and outdated. The TV's in some rooms didn't work. I mean RCA? They don't make that brand anymore. As reasonable as TV's are now, those need a major upgrade. The provided game system was broken. So entertainment was a little ruined. The water was brown and dirty. The host insured us it was ok because it was iron and it was healthy. Tell that to 19 other people that didn't care. The filter needed changing so the host graciously obliged. Parking was hazardous and tricky at the cabin with it being so steep. Then there is the little problem of a stink bug infestation. The 2nd floor where the two biggest bedrooms are and the living area was inundated with them. Host provided bug spray but it didn't work. So you're trying to sleep but have bugs crawling all over you is not cool. It was a rough 4 days. Would have been 1cstar if not for the host Edward.
Best was the space for all family, the view was fabulous, the upgraded bathrooms were great, the privacy was good, loved hot tub on balcony, swings, pool table (even slanted) and foosball, with many TV's, parking space turned play area and with fire pit, picnic table chairs, good host, close to Gburg.Challenges a hard mattress and some too soft, gravel driveway with ruts and mountain steep with no warning prior, dated furniture, slant pool table, hot tub needs cleaning, landscaping care poor, brown water, building needs some repairs, Overall my family enjoyed and would return.
The host was responsive to my texts if I had questions or concerns. He let us know we could have a late check out. The overall space was wonderful for our large family/group. Having 2 refrigerators, hot tub, pool table, foosball table, very large tv in main area, seating for 18 to dine, and the fantastic views were great! The location was quiet but a close drive to downtown and to the grocery store. The road up to the house was a little rough, but manageable. Lots of parking available. We did not take advantage of the fire pit, but having that is a plus. We did use the fireplace in the main living area which was so cozy and comfortable. It was a great place to relax. Fun memories were made.
The host had great communication, the lodge fit our big group nicely and the views were beautiful however the house had a few issues. There was a strong sewer smell on the lower floor, the beds definitely need upgraded and there should be a warning about the road up to the house, it was ROUGH. We had a large group with 2-12 passenger vans and they had a hard time making it up there. You really almost have to have 4 wheel drive especially when it is wet. It could use a deep cleaning and to be treated for bugs.
Views and lodge layout are spectacular! Fun to view bear as he visited nearby one afternoon. We had a nice week with our 16 person friends group. Road up to lodge is in very rough shape. 4 wheel drive is best. Intermittent sewer odor is annoying. Lodge could use a deep clean.
About a 7 minute drive to downtown Gatlinburg, but you wouldn't guess it by how remote it feels. Beautiful cabin with tons of space.Very family friendly, there is a bear that lives nearby which was a plus for us. We had so much fun watching him walk by every morning from the balcony!The Cabin seemed to constantly have a lot of stink bugs inside, but was perfect otherwise. The host was easy to contact and instructions for checkin and out were easy.Kitchen was fully stocked with pots and pans and coffee makers which made the stay very comfortable.
An Unforgettable 80th Birthday Celebration!We booked this stay to celebrate our family patriarch’s 80th birthday, and it was absolutely perfect. The views were breathtaking, and the space was both comfortable and incredibly accommodating for our group. Everything we needed was right at our fingertips. This was our second time staying here, and we’ve already planned our return for next year—it’s becoming a cherished tradition!
The views are amazing. There was plenty of room for our group of 14 and the kitchen being fully stocked was awesome, it saved us time and money being able to cook at the cabin.We will definitely be back.
The lodge was perfect! The view was incredible. Sunrises and sunsets were enjoyed by all off the patios. The lodge had a wonderful flow to the layout. Fifteen adults and we were very comfortable. Everyone was able to be together, not feel crowded, and had privacy with all the bedrooms/bathrooms. Updated and cozy. Centralized location to enjoy all the activities the local area has to offer. Daily visits by the bears and even a bobcat came to visit. Ed was very nice. He was responsive with immediate text replies and had great communication skills. He went out of his way to be sure we truly enjoyed our stay. We all highly recommend this lodge to anyone who wants to enjoy what a true vacation should be…relaxing, enjoyable, and fun!
It was a great with the whole family. The cabin was beautiful and the mountains in the background were made it perfect. Glad we got to spend the week there!
It was a very pleasant stay. Property manager was very responsive and allowed an early entry for some overnight travelers. The kitchen, while small, was equipped with any small appliance you could want. Lots of dishes, silverware and cookware. Hot tub was exceptionally clean and enjoyed by all. Some bedrooms were small but most had their own bathroom which is something I would choose over large bedrooms. We enjoyed the bears who visited often. One even looked in the kitchen window. We had 12 adults and 4 children. To sleep more you have to be prepared to use bunks that are in 4 of the bedrooms. All in all a great time was had by all.
The property was beautiful and the hosts were very responsive! There was ample space for everyone in our group. Super convenient to the National Park, Dollywood, and downtown Gatlinburg.
