Who We Are

Your Hosts

Welcome! We are a family of four generations that have been enjoying the Great Smoky Mountains for many, many years. We decided a few years ago that if we needed to find a house big enough for our family of 20, then maybe other families needed large houses to accommodate their gathering. We have 3 large houses in our portfolio and one small house in town. We love the GSMNP and spend most of our time there. We often make a trip to Dollywood but always have a picnic at the Chimneys Picnic Area and float the stream at Metcalf Bottoms. We've done it ALL in the Smokies, so if you have any questions, just call! We will personally answer the phone!

Frequently Asked Questions

What is your check-in and check-out time?
Our check-in time is 4:00 pm and check-out is 10:00 am.
Can I get an early check-in?
We can only confirm an early check-in the week of your stay. There are many "ifs" that go into that decision. If the previous guest leaves "on-time"; If the cleaning team can get the house cleaned and ready for your arrival; if there are no repairs that have to be completed before you arrive. We will absolutely do our best to accommodate your requested early arrival but there are many factors that go into that happening.
Do you allow pets?
The quick answer is that we cannot accommodate a pet in our home due to allergies. The longer answer is: We do allow service animals if there is a reason for the service animal and the animal has been trained to assist their master. This includes that the service animal will never be left in the house alone and there is an additional cleaning fee applicable for a "deep-clean" to assure that we can maintain allergy-free conditions in the house.
How many parking spots are there?
There is adequate parking based on the house size. Each house can accommodate up to 6 vehicles.

Why our guests

LOVE STAYING HERE

“
This home was perfect for our big family Christmas! Main level bedrooms and an elevator for the grandparents, and games, pool, and entertainment for the kids. The house is in beautiful condition and has an extremely well stocked kitchen for cooking big meals. We loved the hot tub and fire pit! Added bonus….watching the bears from the expansive porches!

The house was amazing. So many options to explore and do right on the property. It was so relaxing to just sit on the porch and swing and just hang out in the pool.

We really enjoyed our stay at the Vista Lodge. The view was spectacular and the visiting bears everyday was the highlight of our trip. The hot tub is huge and I love that most of the rooms felt like their own suites. We are planning to come back in March. For a return trip

The property was immaculate and exactly as described and reflected in the pictures. The layout was great with en suite bathrooms for every bedroom, the indoor pool, and multiple entertaining spaces. Checkin and checkout were a breeze with clear instructions. My extended family of 12 loved the place and we will book again.
