Welcome to Overlook Lodge by AvantStay! Perched high above the Smoky Mountains, Overlook Lodge is a striking modern escape where glass, light, and landscape meet in seamless harmony. With expansive decks on two levels, floor-to-ceiling windows framing panoramic ridgelines, and luxurious spaces designed for connection, this is a home that captures the very best of mountain living—elevated, effortless, and unforgettable. Step inside the airy great room, where vaulted ceilings and towering windows invite the outdoors in. Gather around the sleek stone fireplace or sink into the plush seating for movie nights or morning coffee with a view. The chef’s kitchen is a showstopper, complete with high-end stainless steel appliances, a wine fridge, a spacious island with four bar stools, and a dining table for eight that brings everyone together over shared meals. Outside, two expansive decks let you experience the Smokies from sunrise to starlight. On the upper deck, enjoy alfresco dining at a table for eight, grill on the BBQ, or settle into the lounge seating for golden-hour cocktails as the sky glows pink and gold. Downstairs, the lower-level deck transforms into a private mountain retreat, featuring a hot tub and plunge pool that overlook the endless horizon—a perfect spot to unwind after a day of exploring. Nearby, a cozy firepit with seating for four invites you to gather under the stars as the cool mountain air settles in. When it’s time for a little friendly competition, head to the game room for a round of ping-pong, or simply relax and take in the cozy mountain ambiance. Each bedroom has been designed as a serene retreat, with four king suites (three featuring ensuites) and a custom bunk room with two full-over-full bunks, sleeping up to sixteen guests. The primary suite elevates relaxation even further with a soaking tub, a luxurious ensuite bath, and direct access to breathtaking views. With a laundry room and thoughtful modern amenities throughout, Overlook Lodge combines refined comfort with rustic beauty. Just a short drive from Pigeon Forge, Dollywood, and the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, this home offers the best of both worlds—peaceful seclusion with easy access to adventure. Whether you’re gathered by the firepit, soaking beneath the stars, or savoring a meal with loved ones on the upper deck, Overlook Lodge invites you to live where the view never ends.
