We needed a house larger enough for 10 people that was also wheelchair accessible. This home was perfect! We enjoyed the hot tub, game room and all of the well thought out amenities. The road to the home is a one-lane mountain pass. At first, we were nervous but after the second day of our seven day stay we were navigating it like a local. We had mistakenly locked ourselves out at one point. A text to the host and a very prompt reply fixed the issue within minutes.

The Miller Family Lodge is beautiful! The home was clean and WELL stocked with all the basics. Our large, multi-generational group was comfortable and had plenty of space to be together - or apart! I think my husband's grandmother will tell everyone who will listen about how beautiful it was and how wonderful it was to have our family together for the foreseeable future. Whether you're planning to ride the GSMR or visit the Great Smokey Mountains National Park, this home is perfect.

Perfect Getaway Home

We all loved Miller Family Lodge. The beds were comfortable, there were plenty of bathrooms and an abundance of dishes, glasses, silverware, pans and seating. After having stayed at so many private homes that have just enough of everything, it was wonderful to have plenty of amenities. Gene was wonderful to work with and we wouldn't hesitate to rent here again. Beautiful.

Great cabin for a large family getaway.

We greatly enjoyed our stay at the cabin. The road is very narrow and windy leading to the cabin, but the parking was easy. Everything was as advertised about the property. It was spacious and cozy. Would recommend to anyone traveling to the area.

nice family getaway with lots of amenities

Beautiful well kept property. we did have a few issues and reported them to the owner, but they couldn't be fixed during our four day Christmas stay which is to be understood. Nice property with very high end amenities and lots of games and things to keep everyone busy!

Great house for party of 18 or more adults.

Great place for a huge gathering. Would be nice to have access down into the river on the property. Had to drive or walk down the street. Road access is dirt road and single lane. Not too bad has section to stop and allow car to pass by. Host was responsive and helped with all the request ask.

The stay was awesome, very clean and beautiful. The only thing we noticed were that the beds seem to be smaller like a full or double instead of queens. The king bedrooms were awesome! Thanks for the wonderful time!

Repeat Family vacation

Twenty years ago we came with our 5 kids to this area from Louisiana. It was their favorite vacation so they wanted to come back with their kids. So 10 adults and 9 grands found the Miller family lodge. It was everything all the prior reviews declared. It was perfect for our family and close to horseback riding, fly fishing, Biltmore, Dollywood, white water rafting and the Great Smokey Mountain Railroad. The kids loved the bunk room and there were plenty of areas to congregate or find peace and quiet. Game room was great. Close walk to river where kids could also swim and fish. Road to and from was narrow but got more comfortable with each trip out and in. Kitchen was stocked better than any place we have ever stayed. It had anything you could need. Finally, Gene was terrific host and responded quickly to answer any questions. Highly recommend.
