About this property

Luxury Lodge, Spectacular Views -FIRE PIT

This beautiful, comfy custom luxury lodge will make the perfect, plush background for your family's mountain memories.

No expenses spared. No amenities overlooked! Vacation in high-end comfort.

Three decks, two hot tubs, two grills, a fire pit, espresso machine, pool table, video gaming systems, theater room...the list goes on.

You must see it to believe the absolute breathtaking beauty of this lodge! The views from this mountaintop retreat are spectacular too!

So, grab the family and escape to the serenity of Vista Lodge! This luxury lodge is nestled high on a mountain right in the heart of Gatlinburg and is an ideal location to enjoy the Great Smoky Mountains National Park! For the adventurous who enjoy hiking, the Park is easily accessible by a short 0.5 mile hike up a nearby old logging road! By car, the park is just 2.5 miles from the lodge.

Gatlinburg is a great place to visit for adventure seekers or relaxed visitors alike. Start your morning by taking in the fresh mountain air and the fabulous mountain views with a fresh cup of coffee in hand from one of our three spacious decks. During the day go hiking on the nearby trails, picnicking next to the streams, shopping the crafts trails.....end your days relaxing while watching the sunset from one of our 18 rocking chairs or two porch swings or from the relaxing comfort of the seven person hot tub or the huge 12-person party hot tub or from one of the eight Adirondack chairs while relaxing around the fire pit - the choice is yours!

Later in the evening, you can enjoy some star gazing from your seat around the fire pit in our outdoor living area on Level 3 or you can enjoy a movie or the big game in the theater room on the big screen TV with the awesome surround sound system while relaxing in the tiered seating of the luxury leather recliners. The kids (and adults too) are sure to enjoy a game of pool on the regulation size 8 ft pool table and its companion 10 ft shuffleboard table. There's also a multi-arcade cocktail table which includes 60 of the top arcade games from the 80's including Pac Man, Donkey Kong, Mario Brothers and many more which could keep you busy for hours on end!
Undoubtedly, there may be someone in the group who will want to fire up the X-Box One gaming system and play someone in a game at Vista Lodge or someone back home via the internet. For those who like card games, board games and puzzles, there is a gaming table in the Level 2 game room.

Vista Lodge can easily accommodate 24 people with inside dining for 26+ and outside dining for 14+. The Lodge is situated just minutes away from downtown Gatlinburg in one direction and the Rocky Top Sports World complex in the other direction. Attractions like Dollywood, Dixie Stampede and The Island are just a few minutes further away in Pigeon Forge.

With the Great Smoky Mountains National Park being right next door, bear sightings occur regularly at Vista Lodge. Seeing the bears in person is an awesome experience and we encourage our guests to enjoy our mountain "neighbors". However, as the National Park Service reminds us, even though seeing a bear is a truly exciting event, it is important to remember that bears in national parks are wild and can be dangerous. Their behavior is sometimes unpredictable. While we encourage our guests to enjoy viewing the bears, it is important to keep your distance and not surprise the bears. Everyone will be able to go home happy that way!

Vista Lodge is a special, one of a kind, custom, luxury cabin with all of the amenities that you need to have a tremendously memorable and unparalleled vacation of a lifetime! You will find that Vista Lodge is a marvelous place for families and friends to spend time together. Whether you are celebrating an Anniversary, a Birthday, a Family Reunion or just time away from the hectic pace of life back home, Vista Lodge is the perfect place to gather, to relax, to visit, and to enjoy the company of those that you love and care about while enjoying the spectacular beauty and views from this mountaintop retreat!

Vista Lodge has a state of the art fire protection, surveillance and security system for your safety. Book online or call us today to reserve your stay. Book now to assure that you are able to reserve the time slot that best suits your needs! Our price is based on 24 folks. There is no extra charge for filling the lodge to capacity! You must be 30 years old to rent this property. Absolutely no pets, no smoking and no house parties.

It would be our honor and privilege to have you stay with us while you are vacationing in the Smokies. We look forward to having you stay at Vista Lodge for a truly remarkable and unforgettable vacation experience!

*Our home is family owned and operated. You will always receive personal attention from us!*

Great extended family trip

Our family of six, my in-laws, and my sisters family of 4 loved this location. Honestly, we could’ve had one or maybe even two more families. The view is really beautiful. It’s closer to Gatlinburg than I thought which I think overall is a plus. Every single day we had bears visit the property. There was a mother and two cubs, and there was an adolescent male. It was one of the highlights of the trip. We are so close to the national park at this house. I think that increases the likelihood. The hot tubs were a huge hit. Overall the house is a definite win. Two thumbs up.

LETS GO BUFFAO!

It was amazing! Plenty of room for our adult party of 12. Clean and comfy all around. loved the 2 hot tubs. BIG kitchen table for meals and card games. And did i mention the view...i am still there in my mind. Giant refrigerator and everything you would need in a kitchen. We did not cook much but was nice to know it all was there if we decided to. I can't think of anything that was missed and would stay again.

About the host

Hosted by Lynn Gross

Host profile image
Vista Lodge is family owned and operated. We're four generations of family that have been vacationing in the Great Smoky Mountains for more than 50 years.

We absolutely love the hiking, picnicking, and shopping that Gatlinburg has to offer. For amusement, we all - old and young - love to visit Dollywood too!

Why they chose this property

Vista Lodge was meticulously and lovingly redesigned and rebuilt following the devastating fires in November of 2016. We spared no expense and overlooked no detail for your comfort. Our family, including our kids and grandkids, totals 24. This is our family vacation home and it is truly a spectacular place. We are happy to be able to share it with others while it is not being used by our family. We know that you will absolutely love making your family memories in this million dollar luxury lodge as much as we do!

What makes this property unique

Vista Lodge was designed with large families in mind. Complete with a bunk room and 12-person hot tub, our 16 grandkids have a *grand* time "swimming" in the hot tub, playing pool and shuffle-board, and then watching movies in the theater.

We are one of a few lodges in Gatlinburg that offers an outdoor living area, complete with a fire pit, for being able to sit out in the evening to enjoy the beautiful night skies that are afforded from this mountaintop location. Our fire pit is contained on the bottom deck of the house so you don't have to worry about wild animals approaching while you are enjoying the fire.

Vista Lodge has an impressive kitchen where the whole family can gather in the giant main level living area. The dining table is a work of art and was a custom commissioned piece designed and built by an artisan for large groups to be able to share a meal and time together around the table.
