Great vacation home! Had a wonderful time. The views from the cabin were beautiful in the heart of fall. Our host provided us with all the info we needed and the cabin was clean and well stocked. Definitely watch out for the bears as they check things out frequently and don’t leave anything (including soda cans) in your car! The fire pit and hot tub were welcome extras that got a lot of use. Would definitely recommend and hope to be back soon! Thank you!

Great Location and Beautiful Cabin

Really nice cabin close to Gatlinburg. Had great view of the mountains and can see downtown Gatlinburg. Plenty of room for parking and the cabin had everything we needed for our stay. Easy check in and the hosts/owners communicated very well throughout the entire process. We have already recommend this cabin to friends. Great place to stay in Gatlinburg!

It’s Al about the View

Bella Vista was everything we hoped it would be! It was perfect for our family of 9 and allowed everyone the privacy they wanted but also provided a nice sized family room with an amazing view for those all together times! The kitchen was well equipped we everything we might need for cooking. The Christmas tree was up and it made for such a cozy home feeling. We can’t wait to return for another visit!

Great Place Close to Everything

Really nice place. Clean, plenty of space, and it’s a really good location…5 minutes to downtown Gatlinberg, 5 minutes from a grocery store, 15 minutes from Dollywood. Everybody had their own en-suite bathroom and king bed. The downstairs game room was a lot of fun with epic games of shuffleboard and soaking in the hot tub. The view is great, and the property is the best in the community with plenty of parking and nice flat property. Highly recommend, Chris is a great host, easy to get in touch with, and easily added an early check-in and an extra night to our stay.

Wonderful Cabin

We had a wonderful time. The cabin was spotless and very well equipped. The kids enjoyed the game room every night, and we enjoyed watching the sunset over the mountains from the porch. We even ate breakfast outside every morning . The location was great— close to the downtown area. The road leading up to the cabin is not for the faint of heart, though!!! Communication with the owner was also very easy. Overall, one of the best places we have ever rented. You can’t go wrong with this place!

It was a very nice cabin with pretty views, enough bedrooms/bathrooms for everyone, plenty of parking for 3 cars, games for kids and much more. The cleanliness was lacking though. The couches/beds haven’t been moved in ages to vacuum under. We noticed as we had to keep retrieving the kids toys. The windows on the doors to decks were filthy with finger prints/smudges. The toilet in the master had pee down the front with dust accumulating on it. It would have been a 5 star rating otherwise.

Beautiful, clean cabin with stunning views. It takes your breath away every day. We were with my 3 adult kids and 2 dogs. Everyone had their own king bed, bathroom and private decks. The kitchen had everything we needed. Plenty of seating for eating and just hanging out. 2 family rooms if you needed some extra space. Perfect place for our pups too. We saw bears almost every day! So that was exciting! There’s a store very close with everything you need and some cute villages to shop in Gatlinburg which were about 10 min away. Pigeon Forge was only 20-30 min away. The hiking trails were also super close.

Beautiful house just a short ride from downtown Gatlinburg. The house was clean and comfortable and the view was great. There were mountain views and also views of downtown Gatlinburg.

✨ About Us

Hi, I’m Chris — my wife Sarah and I fell in love with the Smoky Mountains years ago after spending countless vacations here. After renting cabins for many seasons, we finally decided to create our own mountain retreat, starting with Roaring Fork Lodge. That experience inspired us to grow and share our love of the Smokies with others through Bella Vista Lodge and several other upscale properties in Gatlinburg.

We personally manage all our cabins with great pride, focusing on cleanliness, maintenance, and thoughtful touches that make each stay special. Our goal is to provide the same experience we love — relaxing, spotless, and perfectly prepared for unforgettable mountain memories.

We hope you enjoy your time in the Smokies as much as we do! 🌄

Why they chose this property

🌄 Why This Property

Bella Vista Lodge sits right in the heart of Gatlinburg. The cabin rests on nearly one acre of flat, usable land — a rare find in the Smokies — with a spacious yard that’s perfect for kids to play, pets to explore, or families to gather around the fire pit.

You’ll enjoy some of the best views in Gatlinburg, with sweeping mountain vistas by day and the twinkling city lights below by night. Watch the sunset over the Smoky Mountains each evening, and see the iconic Gatlinburg Space Needle glowing beautifully from your deck.

Even the driveway offers plenty of level parking for multiple vehicles or trailers. It’s the perfect blend of mountain scenery, open space, and unbeatable convenience — just moments from downtown but a world away in peace and relaxation.

What makes this property unique

Our cabin sits extremely close to downtown Gatlinburg, yet the setting feels peaceful and private — with some of the best Smoky Mountain views you’ll find anywhere. Few properties in the area offer this rare combination of breathtaking scenery and a large, level yard, making Bella Vista Lodge truly one of a kind.
