As well as being able to make home cooked meals in the well-equipped, large kitchen and large private natural gas grill on the screened in patio, sure make any stay extra special.

The parking will not hold 10 vehicles. 5 was tight without stacking Vehicles and blocking the small entrance. The A/C unit down stairs in a closet is very loud. It can be heard on the 3rd floor. The closet needs to be insulated for noise. The whole cabin needs a deep cleaning. A box springs in a top floor bedroom as brown something spilled down the side of it. We did call the manager and he was very fast responding to an issue. We loved the screened in back porch and the swing. People need to be aware that the kitchen, dining room & main living area on the floor above the driveway only accessible by staircases. Extra blankets need to be replaced as they are well worn.

Thank you for your review. We have already checked, replaced and repaired the items mentioned. Thank you for letting us know. Parking is large, easy and level. 6 to 8 cars fit easily, back to back. Not sure why you tought 10 cars fit easy, although we had guests actually manage it. We are happy you enjoyed the screened in back deck with plenty of seating, the hottub and gas grill. It is for many past guests a main reason to come back time and time again. In addition the 8 private bedrooms and awesome gameroom are mych appreciated by our guests. We hope everyone arrived home safe. Best wishes to all.

Thank you for your awesome review. We are thrilled you and your group enjoyed your stay and found everything as described in the listing. The spacious screened-in deck with its comfortable rocking chairs, picnic tables, BBQ Grill, hot tub, and seating lounge is perfect for gathering. The easy drive to town is appreciated by many of our guests, as well as plenty of level parking right in front of the cabin and the great game room, which are just some of the reasons why our guests keep coming back often. Thank you for leaving the cabin in excellent shape, and we hope to welcome you back very soon.

Perfect for a group of couples

Got together for my son’s 40th birthday with 7couples. Lots of deck space to gather, so close to attractions we were interested in. Perfect for our group.

Great Family getaway

The house was great, perfect for a big family of all ages. Location was great because is very closed to town and is a beautiful neighborhood.

About the host

Hello there,
We are Carlos and Karolina Galvez, owners of Southern Hospitality Lodge. I am from Peru and my wife is from Switzerland. We met on a Caribbean cruise, married in Alaska and settled in Miami Florida. Over the last 29 years we have been blessed with 3 children, all grown up now, and also with the opportunity to travel all over the world, including the Peruvian Andes and the Swiss Alps. Although we love the sea where we met, we both have a special place in our hearts for our mountains and what they represent. So when we first visited the Smoky Mountains we fell in love with the area as we saw them as a memory of each other’s own culture. It was our dream to one day own a Cabin here as a gathering place for our ever growing family and friends, encouraging them to leave the hustle and bustle of our busy city lives behind and take a “Pause” in our gorgeous Southern Hospitality Lodge

Why they chose this property

Southern Hospitality Lodge is one of the most beautiful cabins in the Smoky Mountains. We simply love the easy drive, level parking, its spacious rooms, the overall area, close enough ( less than a mile) to enjoy the attractions of the main towns nearby but far enough to relax and enjoy the wilderness and being nestled in the woods. We are enjoying it to the fullest with our family and friends and when not in town, we want to share the same experience with you. We hope you enjoy our Cabin and take home memories that will last for years to come.

What makes this property unique

It is an easy drive on the newly paved road and access from East or West off the Parkway. It is close enough to all the action in Pigeon Forge, Sevierville and Gatlinburg but far enough to enjoy the peacefulness, lots of fresh mountain air and surrounding wilderness. It's bright rooms lighten the mood and are a perfect recipe to relax and recharge. There are plenty of choices for grocery shopping along the way or simply have them ordered and ready for you upon your arrival.
