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!

Thank you so much, Diane! We’re thrilled to hear you had a wonderful stay at Bella Vista Lodge and got to enjoy those amazing fall views. Sounds like the bears were making their rounds too, they definitely keep things interesting! 🐻
Glad the fire pit and hot tub got good use and that everything was clean and well stocked for you. We’d love to have you back anytime. Thanks again for the kind words and helpful tip for future guests!
This is a beautiful home that is in a great location!! You are up in the mountains, but just a few minutes away from downtown Gatlinburg and stores. The views are outstanding and we had daily bear activity.

We had an amazing stay at this cabin during New Year’s week! The location was perfect—close enough to downtown Gatlinburg to enjoy all the attractions, restaurants, and festivities, yet tucked away enough to feel peaceful and private. The cabin itself was cozy, and beautifully maintained, with plenty of space for everyone to relax comfortably.The views were absolutely stunning, especially in the mornings and evenings, and made welcoming the New Year extra special. The amenities were exactly as described, making it easy to settle in and feel at home right away. Everything from the kitchen to the living areas was well-equipped, and the cabin was warm and inviting despite the winter weather.The hosts were responsive, friendly, and made the entire experience seamless from check-in to check-out. This was the perfect place to ring in the New Year, create great memories, and unwind in the Smoky Mountains. We would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend this cabin to anyone visiting Gatlinburg!
We had a wonderful time at the cabin. We had our entire family under one roof. We saw multiple bear at the cabin. The kids enjoyed the basketball hoop and so did the adults.

Had a wonderful week staying here. Did get a visit from some bears but nothing dangerous or any damage. Would come back probably in the fall for another trip maybe next year.

Thank you so much, Becca! I'm really glad you enjoyed your stay at Bella Vista Lodge and I appreciate your kind words. I'm sorry the storm took out the fire pit chairs during your visit.

It sounds like you had a wonderful time at the cabin! We're so glad it was perfect for your getaway. We hope you can make many more great memories here in the future!
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. Definitely a property I would stay at again. It was in a quiet area and even had a flat lawn in the front of the house .

✨ 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.
