Great stay in the snow!

The house was exactly as expected. The only reason I can’t give 5 stars is because the box spring of the bed in the loft was broken and pretty much unusable. We notified the property manager and they responded very quickly that it would be fixed the coming week.

We loved the house and the space but, whoever cleans definitely missed a lot! We swept and moved one couch and looked like a years worth of crumbs and trash was under it! And in the cushions.

Amazing Family get-together

Family in town from all over the USA to visit the Smokies, some to re-live old memories and some for the first time. Easy access to Great Smoky Mountains National Park and local attractions in Wears Valley and Townsend. Also lots to do in the cabin when the weather was bad.

Amazing Location

Excellent place to stay in the Smoky’s. Loved the deck and chairs to enjoy morning coffee or relaxing afternoons. Good central location to enjoy all the amenities. We had bear visits regularly. One even came up on the deck and peek into our cabin through the glass. We would have enjoyed more lighting on the deck in the evenings. Owner said it was a bad breaker, but electrician never made it out to repair. Other than that, a great place for multiple families.

Family vacation

Overall, our family enjoyed their stay. The house was nice and we had plenty of space when we had to be inside due to rain. The air conditioning didn't work the first 2 days but it was soon repaired. I submitted to emails to the owners about the 10% discount for teachers, and 1st reponders but never got a response.

Family Reunion

The directions to the property were very accurate. The driveway to the cabin was very steep! We couldn’t check in on time because the washing machine broke and flooded the floor, but they were working very hard to clean it up. They warned us about an active bear in the area and we did see one! The main floor a/c wasn’t working and they couldn’t get it fixed til the day we checked out. They gave us a partial refund which we accepted.

Enjoying the scenery with family

This was an awesome home base for a family trip to the Smokies! We felt so lucky to enjoy the amazing view even while resting & relaxing between activities. The outside areas were great for enjoying some drinks or eating dinner, and the younger crew spent a LOT of time in the game room. The Amazing Memories team was very responsive & made our stay great!

About the host

Hosted by Vicki Bridwell

Gary and Vicki have been married for 35 years and have two adult sons, Jared and Jacob. They are both former educators; Gary is now a financial advisor and Vicki stays busy managing their homes in Indiana and the Great Smoky Mountains.

Why they chose this property

When Gary and Vicki first turned on to Wilderness Mountain Drive, and looked up to see Amazing Memories Lodge, Vicki said, “if that’s it, we’re buying it!” It was the home that checked all the boxes. The two of them loved it so much, they are now building a second version of it further up the mountain.

What makes this property unique

It was truly serendipity when Gary and Vicki found Amazing Memories Lodge. They both fell in love with the Lodge where they hope to create wonderful memories for their family as well as yours. The dining area in the large great room was perfect for the family meals, the comfortable and luxurious bedrooms and bathrooms were comparable to a four star hotel, and the game room provided an atmosphere to enjoy some friendly competition.
Gary and Vicki can only hope you will find the time to enjoy some mountain music while rocking on one of the two balconies or read a good novel as you hear the breeze pass through the trees. They anticipate their guests will enjoy the quietness of the lodge, yet embrace the easy access to many activities just a few miles away.
