Welcome to Sunset Lodge where each evening you’ll be treated to magnificent sunset in the Great Smoky Mountains. Located in beautiful Wears Valley, just nine miles from Pigeon Forge, this newly built in 2021 regal mountain home privately sits on two wooded acres and sleeps eight guests who seek an adventurous, relaxing, and luxurious space with truly unforgettable mountain views.
Take the steep mountain driveway to experience this majestic home which features Mission Style furniture and Tiffany style lamps. The interior gives a nod to Frank Lloyd Wright and makes for one of the most unique and gorgeous Lodges in the Great Smoky Mountains. Each evening reveals stunning sunsets as you soak up the fresh mountain air, and then, once the sun goes down, the inside of the Lodge comes alive with conversation and relaxing contentment.
On the first floor, the entertainment area has a flat screen TV, granite bar, refrigerator and also features a well-appointed King Suite with a full bathroom.
Upstairs to the second floor, the home opens up to the stunning Great Room featuring a 30’ wall of glass and a floor to ceiling fireplace. Just off the Great Room, you will find a splendid King Master Suite with full bathroom.
Guests will truly appreciate the dining room that has an astonishing view of the Great Smoky Mountains. The fully equipped kitchen, with granite counter tops, plethora of custom-built cabinets, is quite spacious and has the capacity for the family chef to cook those special family meals. Imagine yourself rocking on the deck with an outdoor fireplace on the second floor or eating outdoors on the specially designed outdoor deck.
On up to the third floor to the Game Room where guests of all ages will enjoy a full-size pool table, video games and outdoor hot tub overlooking the gorgeous valley below. Also on the third floor, you will discover another queen suite with a private bath. Just off the Game Room, a bonus room has a day bed with a trundle which provides additional sleeping space to accommodate guests of all ages. If you are seeking a truly unique mountain experience, Sunset Lodge will provide those memories that will last a lifetime.
Special attractions are located next door. You will find the Hawk Skylift known as Sevier County’s highest chairlift with spectacular views! Also, Elvira’s Cafe ranked by Forbes magazine as the top 100 restaurants in the US.

Driveway is a hazard. We had to spend the first night in a hotel and then rent a 4 wheel drive.

Abysmal getting to it. The house was nice enough, We have stayed in other places in Wears Valley with much better results. Would not rent this property again.

BEAUTIFUL CABIN

This was a beautiful cabin, and a beautiful location! My wife and I enjoyed the amazing view from our balcony every day. The steep driveway was certainly a bit challenging at first, but got easier as the week went on. Would highly recommend!

Amazing house in the mountains

We would definitely stay here again. The driveway is something. I am surprised there isn’t a rail on the one side and the electrical box being at the top. Beautiful views that high up. Gorgeous home and loved the size of the kitchen. It was so handy having the grill on the deck right off the kitchen. Thanks for letting us stay and being able to use your property!!

Spectacular Vacation Home

“The Views” and the home itself… everything was perfect! Our family fit comfortably with so much space to spread out and relax or play games. The Kitchen is so fabulous we never even went out to eat. Our minivan did not make it up the driveway which we were completely aware was a possibility prior to arrival so we parked on the pad at the bottom and my son in laws Nissan did make it up, so he was our shuttle all week! All in all amazing house, hope we can rent it again!!

Anniversary trip

Had a great time! The cabin was amazing, there was everything and more in the kitchen. Beds were comfortable. Views were outstanding. We did not take the steep driveway warning seriously, we did not have problems with my All Wheel drive Edge but it is very steep. Not a lot of room for a truck to park at the top. We were packing the car and left the back hatch open, we lost a 5 pound bag of lifesavers to a bear. Only left the car for less than 2 minutes. Nice location to Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge. Would definitely stay here again

Beautiful mountain cabin

This was a beautiful mountain cabin with a stunning view, plenty of space, and well stocked kitchen. It felt very private. The hot tub was great! The driveway was a challenge for those from the flatlands, and we found that 4 wheel drive or minimum of rear wheel drive were a must for this location. The proximity to Pigeon Forge and GMSNP worked great for our group.

Very steep driveway/ Great Cabin

Where it says must have 4x4 they are 100% correct, the driveway is VERY steep with a sharp turn at the top, not for the faint of heart. That being said the cabin was excellent, very well stocked, clean and the hosts were very responsive.

Absolutely Beautiful Cabin

This cabin looks just like the pictures, it’s truly gorgeous! The views are breathtaking! The kitchen is well stocked, and the owners paid close attention to details downs to the beautiful light fixtures throughout. Beds are comfortable! We never waited long for a response to our many questions while planning our trip. We would most definitely rent from these owners again and look forward to visiting real soon in the future ! Thank you Gary for everything you did to make our vacation enjoyable.

Bird Eye View

The cabin was amazing. It was like sitting in bird house on the mountain side. The driveway was like a mountain climb at the top. But well worth it. We were blessed to have a dog show up and protect us from a baby black bear one morning.

Beautiful cabin and view!!

Absolutely loved the cabin and the view!! The cabin itself was very clean and was well stocked with everything you would need for your stay. My family also loved eating at Elvira’s cafe which is located at the end of the road. The driveway, however, is a different story. It is it for the faint of heart lol. An AWD or 4x4 vehicle is a definite must!! It will make navigating the driveway easier. Once I figured out how to navigate the driveway, it definitely became easier. I will definitely rent this cabin again!!

Spacious and Beautiful!

Such an easy, true mountain experience. We even saw a small bear while making s‘mores (and quickly went upstairs to watch from the balcony). My husband, myself, our 3 kids, and our parents (8 total) slept comfortably with enough private bedrooms for all adults. The view was breathtaking and the property was gorgeous. Instructions were accurate and easy. The driveway was pretty scary for us not used to mountains city folk but my husband and father in law handled the steep drive beautifully while I put a sweater on my head 😅. Can’t wait to go back!

Unique Location

My family and I had a great time at the house. It is a new house and is well kept. The 3 bedrooms each have their own bathroom. The living room is very nice and the kitchen is big with everything needed to cook. The loft is great with the pool table and hot tub on the porch. The porches provide a great place to sit and drink coffee in the morning. The only negative aspect is the very steep driveway. It is manageable with a 4 wheel drive vehicle and good momentum going up, and using low gear to go down. I recommend staying here.

SUNSET LODGE 🌞😎

Talk about gorgeous and amazing views to say the least! This place is not only exactly as described but location-location-location! Just minutes away from dining, shopping, the night life, and attractions, (highly recommend Parrot Mountain and the “Island”)!!!!! The lodge had everything we wanted and then more exceeding our expectations! We had fun listening to music with the fireplace going while grilling out playing pool and even chilling in the hot tub!!!!! Had plenty of games to play not to mention hiking on the property but we didn’t get to hangout by the fire pit as it was too windy! We definitely recommend SUNSET LODGE🤩💖

Nice location

The location was great. Beautiful cabin. Property was clean except for the floors. Walking barefoot from the shower to the bed, feet were black. TV in the bedroom with the white farmhouse furniture would not stay connected to the WiFi so my husband and I could not watch it for the first several days. Finally on the 3rd and 4th day it decided to stay connected. Overall our stay was enjoyable and the price was great. No major issues that would prevent us from returning in the future.

Scary!

First of all, we have been coming to this area for over 30 years. The chalet is very nice inside and very well stocked. The owner was responsive. However, when I messaged about getting in early, I never received a response. Upon arrival, we were literally shocked at the steepness of the driveway! We had issues with our all-wheel drive vehicle after climbing the hill. So much so that we had to call AAA and they wouldn't drive up the driveway. We called the owner's recommended mechanic--he never returned our call. The pictures do not justify the hill. If this is rented out in the winter and there snow or ice, I don't know how you would get up it. And upon leaving--it was the most scared I have ever been going down a driveway in this area. I would never rent this property again! I would also suggest that the owner disclose how bad it is. Once you go up I wouldn't suggest leaving until you are ready to go home.

Breathtaking View

We had a wonderful week at this cabin. Most of the reviews mention the driveway. Yes...it is a hard one to get up. That is the price you pay for the beautiful view. I drive a Kia Sportage and I would put it in sports mode and all wheel drive. Get as big of a run as I could and floor it. Right before I got to the top it would feel like I wasn't going to make it, but always did. We did see a bear our first day which was cool, but made going outside a little scarier. We finally decided to make a fire our last day. The bear was back, but as soon as he heard our voice he went back up into the woods. I believe he was more scared of us, then we were of him. The kitchen is very well stocked with everything that you need. This cabin and the view is beautiful!
