If another group has reserved the Thursday night or Sunday night, we only require that Friday and Saturday be reserved.

A Good Family Trip for Cheer Competition
The view alone of the smokies would give this place a 5 star rating. The only reason it’s an overall 4 for our stay was the unfortunate event before we got there where the place had a plumbing situation. But they had it fixed before we checked in but it left one of the nine rooms with a smell. Other than that the owner was awesome, the cabin was more than enough with space and again the view was amazing. We even had a frequent guest come by (bear) to make sure we were okay. I recommend this place for sure!

The bridal parties for my wedding stayed at the lodge for three nights, as well as having the reception held there. During our stay we had a great time, the lodge was amazing, and the view was most definitely spectacular. We truly enjoyed our stay at the lodge and would love to return in the future. We also got to see bears everyday, which was great to see.

Nice place for a large group
We had 11 people, aged 12 and up, and we all enjoyed the cabin. It's very roomy, we loved that everyone had plenty of space, and the cabin was so close to town. The hot tub is huge, and the view is unbeatable - and I've stayed in dozens of cabins. Absolutely recommend this place! We had a couple of small issues, but were able to get things worked out with the owner with a bit of persistence. Thank you for a nice stay!
