Spacious family lodges and a cozy in-town retreat in Gatlinburg, minutes from the national park, the strip, and everything the Smokies do best.
Smoky Mountain Vacations is a family owned collection of luxury homes built for the people you love most. High on Forest Springs Mountain and minutes from downtown Gatlinburg, our lodges give large families and groups of friends room to spread out, gather, and slow down. Think indoor pools and party hot tubs, theater and game rooms, fully stocked kitchens, and deck after deck of Great Smoky Mountain views, with black bears often wandering by. Whether your group is twelve or thirty, celebrating a reunion or simply escaping the everyday, you will find space for everyone.

Reach the family who owns these homes. We answer the phone ourselves.
We are a family who has been coming to the Great Smoky Mountains for generations. A few years ago we realized that if we needed a home big enough for our own family of twenty, other families probably did too. Today our portfolio includes three large mountain lodges and one cozy home in town.
We spend most of our time in the Smokies, from picnics at the Chimneys to floating the stream at Metcalf Bottoms and days at Dollywood. We have done it all here, so when you have a question, just call. We will personally answer the phone.
Our check-in time is 4:00 pm and check-out is 10:00 am.
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.
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.
There is adequate parking based on the house size. Each house can accommodate up to 6 vehicles.
Call us and we will personally help you find the right home for your group, or check availability and book direct for our best rate. We cannot wait to host your family.
