🍂 Fall color. 🌲Holiday magic. ♨️Hot tub nights.
Stargazer Lodge is a rustic-modern cabin built in 2023 on one private acre in the Thunder Mountain community near Wears Valley and Pigeon Forge. Three king suites sit on three separate levels, and the lower-level game room adds two triple-twin bunk sets for six more guests.
It fits multi-family trips, couples traveling together, birthday and group getaways, families with kids, and pet owners. Fall foliage shows through the living room, kitchen, dining and bedroom windows. In season, the main living room is decorated for Christmas with a tree, garland and a wreath on the blue front door.
The drive in is paved, with no steep gravel switchbacks. Parking fits 4-5 vehicles.
