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.

One of the best vacations we’ve had! The host was so sweet and accommodating and her place was just beautiful!! It fit us perfectly! We came from four states to get together and the Vista Lodge could not have been more perfect for our family!

This was by far the best cabin my family and I have ever stayed in. The cabin was beautifully decorated, very clean, looked newly built, the kitchen was spacious and we loved the main floor having 2 main suites with king size beds. This cabin’s location was great for us close to Gatlinburg. Lynn from Smokey Mountain Vacations was very friendly and communicated with me to see if I needed anything periodically during my stay to make sure my stay was satisfactory. This cabin is Vista Lodge, and we loved it and will definitely be our first choice of where to stay next time! This cabin has everything that we needed and more!

We enjoyed the space for our many family members. We saw a bear or 4 each day. So fun to keep an outlook for them. The beautiful scenery was stunning. Loved the porches that allowed for gathering.
