About this cabin rental
Situated in Gatlinburg, this attractive cabin for $325 per night is a great option for your next break. This is Roaring Fork Lodge in Gatlinburg, TN. By renting one of our cabins you will experience a superior level of quality and service that the large property management companies in the area cannot offer. The reason you ask? We are the actual owners of our cabins, and we personally manage every detail ourselves. My name is Chris. My wife Sarah and I are the owners. The majority of rental cabins in the area are managed by large property managers who have a whole lot to keep up with. Unfortunately, this can lead to a property to fall behind in its care and cleaning. This leads to a poor traveler experience and a lack of personal service. We try to be different. We only own 6 cabins, and that allows us to give more time and attention to our properties. The exceptional quality of our properties and the personal level of service you will receive will leave no doubt in your mind that you made the best choice for your Smoky Mountains vacation. Our cabins are competitively priced for what they offer with their location and amenities. All of our properties provide our guests a sense of privacy, and are not in areas where you will feel intruded on by a neighboring cabin. We want you make long lasting memories that you will cherish for many years into the future. We are always a phone call or text away if you need us at any point after you make your reservation, and during your stay. The last thing you want is to have to chase someone down if you have a question or a problem. __________________________________________________________________________________ Be sure to check out the feature article about our cabin in the June/July issue of Log and Timber Home Living Magazine! No expense has been spared in the construction of our Adirondack-Style true log home. Roaring Fork Lodge is an impressive 6,312 square foot, northern white cedar custom built log home, which will easily sleep up to 20 people. it is located in the heart of downtown Gatlinburg and is convenient to all of the local attractions. It is situated at the end of a quiet road, and you will have your privacy. If you are seeking a unique ultimate luxury cabin for your trip to the Smokies, Roaring Fork will be a welcome treat. The lodge is named "Roaring Fork Lodge" because it sits on a mountain about 200 feet above a rushing mountain stream named Roaring Fork. This stream is one of the larger and faster flowing mountain streams in the national park. You can hear the "roar" of the river below, especially after a nice rain shower. Sitting on the decks, watching for wildlife, and listening to the river below is a great way to unwind after a day of fun. Construction of the lodge includes many high end materials such as northern white cedar logs from Canada, solid granite counter-tops, hand scraped hickory hardwood floors, ceramic tiled showers and floors, custom made cabinetry, and 5,000+ square feet of outdoor deck/patio space (much of which is covered). Our outdoor area is hardscape with beautiful natural stones and shrubs surrounding the upper and lower yard areas. You will be surrounded on 2 sides by a wooded area which gives you plenty of privacy. The rear of the cabin opens to a mountain view with the river rushing through the trees below you. The cabin sits near the border of the national park. The mountains seen in the photos are within the borders of The Great Smoky Mountains National Park. The westerly view from the side and rear decks are mountain views, along with views of the downtown Gatlinburg area below. At night the lights of downtown Gatlinburg are visible on the side deck. If you want to experience Gatlinburg's sight and sounds, but still want the peace and quiet, Roaring Fork Lodge is a great place to accomplish both. There is ample parking in the two levels of driveway available. If you want some time outdoors and want a little bit of a rustic feel, you can take the flagstone walkway from the main entrance or off the side deck, to our natural stone fire pit. It is tucked away at the edge of the property, where it's given a private space. There is plenty of seating on the large boulders surrounding it. There are also posts to hang one hammock, which is a great place to take a late afternoon nap. You can start your hotdog roast early and enjoy the Mountain view before the sun goes down. As the night creeps in, and the evening passes, enjoy making s'mores and memories by firelight. There is also a small grassy area outside of the basement level, for corn hole or you could lay down a blanket and have a picnic. (Special note: We do not provide the hammock, but feel free to bring yours along!) You will be a close walking distance from the downtown Gatlinburg strip. There is a trolley station a 10 minute "downhill" walk away. The walk back to the lodge is uphill, so keep this in mind if you choose to walk. If you wish to drive, the downtown Gatlinburg strip is 1/2 mile away and located close to many public parking garages. On New Years Eve and the 4th of July our cabin in a nice spot to view the fireworks launched from downtown. Simply sit on the back deck and relax without fighting the crowds. Do not be surprised to see the occasional black bear or other wildlife on or near the property. Since we border the national park bears and other wildlife cross through our yard frequently. It is a very common occurrence to see bear in the warmer months. Please be conscience of your belongings and waste for this reason, nothing that may attract a bear should be left outside or in your vehicles.

This was our first ever family vacation! It was such an awesome experience for everyone. The cabin was beautiful and the bear experience was a first for almost everyone. The only complaint we had was the downstairs fireplace was not working. They didn’t test it before our arrival and it never worked throughout the entire week, regardless of their efforts. We were really looking forward to using it.

Cabin was so pretty although cleaning services could have been better. The view is amazing and we saw bears!

We had a wonderful time while staying here! We had an age range of 4-56 and everyone was in awe of the place. It was gorgeous and very spacious, I never felt like one place was too crowded.
The only complaint we had was the cleanliness. The floors were not swept great and there were quite a few spider webs inside the cabin that weren’t exactly small. We also found clothing that belonged to someone else in one of the drawers. I think this definitely reflects more on who they hd cleaning the cabin and not to much on the owners.
The owners were wonderful to deal with and responded to any question I had very fast. There was even an incident with one of the AC units and they made attempts to handle that as fast as possible.
We would definitely stay here again!

First of all I want to say that I'm a beach guy. My family of 13 talked me into going to Gatlinburg for my grand daughter's senior year spring break. I must admit when we arrived the cabin was impressive. We did get to see four bears playing in a meadow below the cabin. If we had a problem the owner was quick to respond. I would highly recommend this rental.

This cabin is beautiful and roomy. There is plenty to do for everyone in the family. We had a wonderful stay here for my daughter’s wedding.

For our fiftieth wedding anniversary, our daughters and their families traveled to Gatlinburg and stayed at the Roaring Fork Lodge. Everyone was overwhelmed by the beauty of the cabin, the view of the forest, and the sound of the water rushing over the rocks below. Each family had a floor to themselves, plenty of bathrooms, and a wonderful game room. The lodge's location minimized travel times to the restaurants and attractions in Gatlinburg, Pigeon Forge, and Dollywood. All in all, the cabin helped make our special occasion very memorable. We will be back.

We had an amazing vacation! Went to Dollywood stampede, atv’s , zip lining , Dollywood, hiking, shopping, miniature golfing, parrot mountain, roller coasters, outdoor gravity, had a relaxing time at the house. Had 8 adults, 7 grandchildren in the house and had plenty of room, the game room was fantastic! The views and our daily bear sightings were great! The house was beautiful and so spacious, we had a busy week, but found when at the house we all relaxed and enjoyed ourselves. Great location too. We are still talking about what a fun family trip we had, would stay there again:)

This 4 story (lots of climbing stairs) house has all the things you could want: lots of outdoor balconies, hot tub, fire pit, bean toss, pool table & movie room just to name a few. Beautiful view. Big kitchen. There were 16 (9 adults, 7 children (12-8yr olds) + 1 11mi old. Plenty of room for doing whatever you wanted though do.

My kids had a blast and didn’t want leave the cabin, great location just a minute away from the strip but can also go around all the traffic by going the other way. Place looks better in person

This was honestly one of the best cabins we have stayed at in Gatlinburg. We visit the area yearly and were amazed by how beautiful and clean the whole house was. All the information we needed was provided before our trip. We really enjoyed the location and privacy. Thank you for a great stay!

We literally fell in love the first time we saw the pictures of the cabin and it’s more beautiful in person. Everything was perfect and the cabin had all of the amenities included (kitchen had pots and pans to cook, huge fridge, cinema was comfortable, play area in the basement). The communication with the host was great. No problems or issues trying to access the cabin. I will choose this cabin next time i stay in Gatlinburg. I recommend you to choose this cabin.

This is the best cabin we’ve stayed at by far…pics don’t do this cabin justice…it’s supper spacious and there is room for everyone in your group…. The game room and theater are amazing and it’s literally walking distance to all the fun…definitely renting this one again in the future.

Everything at this property was amazing. It was perfect for all ages and sleeping arrangements conducive to all types of groups. Also great group entertaining areas for large groups (many other houses have small central areas and thankfully we went with a larger one). Truthfully the pictures do not do the house justice - all the games, entertainment areas etc were what you need when in the mountain. Location was 2 mins drive to town (we even walked one day because we don’t mind the one large hill). Hiking trails aren’t far either - we did a family friendly one about 10 mins away. Also parking was perfect with plenty of room being at the end of the drive - we noticed many other houses don’t have a lot of parking so we were thankful for this. Hosts and information provided was overly informative with no stone unturned. My only regret is not bringing baby gates with all the stairs / levels but we made do. Would recommend this property to anyone!

The cabin was beautiful, everything was just as they portrayed. It was nice being in the mountains but still close to downtown. Highly recommended for a large group.

We had a party of 15 family members for our daughters wedding. The house was everything we expected and more. The gameroom was definitely a hit with something for everyone. Pleanty of room for everyone to have their privacy as needed. Definitely recommend this house to everyone. The view was amazing and the distance to downtown and mountain trails was perfect. Everyone had a great time. Thank you for letting us enjoy your home.

This place is simply amazing. It accommodated our extended family of 14 including 7 adults with kids ranging from 8-16. Everyone had their own space yet there were lots of gathering places for larger groups. The location was perfect, the views were gorgeous and we even got some bear sightings from the deck. Chris was very communicative. The photos don't lie - this place is as amazing as it looks. Definitely recommend.

We recently stayed at this amazing house with my entire extended family. Everyone had their own space to relax either as a big group or alone. There are plenty of common areas and the house was in amazing shape. It looked just like the pictures. We all had a great and memorable time here.

Our extended family of 16 just returned from a week’s stay at Roaring Fork Lodge. It is a fabulous space with something for everyone. Shaded balconies with a great view for those wanting to relax in beauty, a game room with skeeball, air hockey and much more for the young and enthusiastic, quiet indoor and outdoor spaces for reading and a movie theater for late night movies! Close to downtown Gatlinburg but a beautiful and peaceful escape. Chris was quick to respond to our questions - a wonderful host. Great home for our family reunion. And yes, we saw bears!!!

Amazing stay at an amazing cabin
Had a really great time. There was an issue with the hot tub but it was fixed literally within 30 minutes of my email which was amazing. My only recommendation would be a grill on the balcony because we had to grill in the rain. Other than that, there is nothing negative to say and it was an amazing cabin. By far the nicest and most amenities of any cabin I’ve stayed at and I’ve stayed at close to 10

We stayed at Roaring Fork Lodge for our kids Spring Break March 21-26. Chris and Sarah the hosts were excellent. The communication was very clear and all the instructions within the house were easy to follow. We did so much on the trip Dollywood, white water rafting, hiking Midnight hole, Ripley's aquarium, moonshine tasting (for some), Anakeesta (from the tower you can see the cabin) , and closed out the trip with ziplining. Many times we had to drag the kids from the cabin as they did not want to leave. The pictures online were exactly as we found the cabin. The cabin was so spacious, clean, and had some much small detail to make you feel welcomed. The kids loved the theater room and all the fun extra's in the basement. We would 100% stay here again if we are in the Gatlinburg area.

Amazing property that felt like a brand new home.
Home was immaculate. All TVs and appliances functioned like new. Location was perfect, only a little apprehension on the hill getting up to the house. The road and driveway seemed brand new as well.
This is a very nice place!
