Things to know
• We love this place—and we think you will too—but it comes with a few mountain quirks:
The floors may creak (she’s got character!)

• Expect the occasional ladybug—welcome to the Smokies
• WiFi and cell service can be a little moody out here
• While we would love to welcome everyone, our lodge’s unique design includes stairs and no elevators, making it not wheelchair accessible. In addition, the property may not be suitable for children under 12 due to its setting. We appreciate your understanding.

Perfect stay. Loved it.
8 / 10Excellent·Sep 2024
Loved the room, not all the lights worked, and only the hot water valve worked on the bathroom sink, but definitely not deal breakers. Enjoyed exploring the lodge and all it had to offer, as well as trails and ponds. The observation deck was wonderful as well.
