Dream View Lodge Private luxury lodge with pool, expansive views, theater, hot tub, 25 pvt acres

5 Bedrooms • 4 Baths • Sleeps 2-16
Allows pets Internet Fireplace Mountain Private Pool Hot Tub (more...)
Welcome to our family's forever retreat. Before this area was filled with all these people, it was like this.
WIth spectacular views from 25 private, gated acres, and completely remodeled and updated, our breathtaking 5 bedroom, 4 bathroom lodge is available to rent to groups of up to 16 people for the first time. 
 
An unobstructed view of the mountains of the Great Smoky Mountain National Park stretches out below our deck- not another cabin or rooftop in sight. At night, you can see an exceptional view of the mountains and milky way from both the upper deck and the lower deck and hot tub.
Each king bedroom has a view of the park, a brand new memory foam mattress, and Roku TV. Two of the four bathrooms have views from the shower that would make other cabins jealous. There is a chef’s kitchen with two cooktops, a full arcade, and two levels of decks where you can sit and watch the light on the mountains change from sunrise to sunset, plus two back decks as well. In back, there is also a small fenced yard. The cabin boasts two outdoor fire tables, a wood burning fireplace, a movie theater, bar, pool table, hot tub, porch swing, board games, outdoor games, books and more. And while this is a place to get away from it all, with fast, reliable Starlink internet, you won’t have to worry about being disconnected. 
 
OUTDOOR LIVING: The first thing you'll see is two enormous decks facing the Smokies- with comfy couch seating on both levels, a hot tub, fire tables, dining area and more, the entertainment here is the unparalleled view of the mountains. The decks are the perfect place to enjoy a meal together, or play corn hole, giant Jenga, or connect 4.  The regular breeze keeps the lower deck cool, while the sun shines consistently on the upper deck. 
 
Inside, you'll be immediately impressed by the huge two story living room. Sit on the couch and watch the mountains through the glass- or the 65” TV. Connect to our stereo, or cuddle up and read. Cozy up to the bar, or play pool, all in the same space together. The living room is perfect for relaxing after a long day of exploring the Park, or our own trail. Play games, watch TV, cook a meal all with space for everyone. Settle in for a great vacation. We've had families tell us they never left the cabin the whole vacation- entertainment, space and relaxation activities for everybody. 
 
MORE OF WHAT YOU'LL LOVE: 
KITCHEN: The chef's kitchen is equipped with everything you need to prepare delicious meals for your group. It has plenty of counter space, an island with seating, two cooktops, an oven, dishwasher and pantries for plenty of storage.

Enjoy your meals at the indoor dining area or bar seating, or outside on the decks and outside tables.
 
BEDROOMS: Our 5 comfortable bedrooms all have king beds with new memory foam mattresses, Roku TV's and views of the mountains. There is a separate twin bunk room off of the upstairs master bedroom- a good fit for families. The luxurious upstairs master suite has a private balcony, and a spectacular double shower that looks out over the park.  The main floor master has its own ensuite bathroom with rain shower- also with views of the mountains.  Our loft “library” doubles as a seventh sleeping area, with a blue velvet queen sleeper sofa. The theater also has a queen sleeper, making a 7th sleeping area.
 
LOWER LEVEL GAME ROOM: Go head to head on one of our several game consoles, Buck Hunter, foosball, pinball, or shuffleboard. 
 
BAR & POOL TABLE: Challenge each other to a game of pool on the main level, or enjoy a drink at the bar.

HOT TUB: Our hot tub will be clean and hot for you when you arrive. 
 
BATHROOMS. All four full bathrooms have showers, one has a tub and two have giant, luxurious rain showers. The upstairs shower has to be seen to be believed.
 
LAUNDRY: New, free washer-dryer. 
 
FENCED YARD: There is a relatively small fenced space behind the back decks.
 
AMENITIES: We provide a starter set of coffee filters, body wash, soap, trash bags, dishwasher liquid & laundry detergent, toilet paper & paper towels. You may need to purchase more during your stay. There is no mid-stay cleaning service included, but trash pick-up can be arranged for an additional fee. Roku TVs in every room. There is no cable, but you can sign into any service through the Roku. 
 
FREE HIGH-SPEED Wi-FI- Brand new Starlink internet.Enough for every device you could possibly bring 
 
ACCESS DETAILS: Check in at 4PM, Check out at 10 AM. The front door is equipped with an electronic keypad. Guests are required to sign the rental agreement and schedule the security deposit hold to receive the door code. You will get a personalized door code the day before check-in, no need to meet anyone for keys. 
 
ROADS: We are just a few miles off of the 321 parkway, west of Gatlinburg. As you’d imagine, you don’t get these views without a bit of climbing. The roads are paved and relatively flat until you get to our road- Shady Gap Way. At this point it is a well-maintained gravel and dirt road that heads up the hillside. There are no steep drop-offs, and it isn't particularly windy. Our driveway is paved, and steep. it is not windy or "cliffy" at all. We recommend a 4WD vehicle, though we do it regularly in a Honda Civic, and most of our neighbors get around in golf carts. If you're dreaming of wide, flat, paved roads, this is not the cabin for you.
 
Cell service can be spotty in this entire region, we highly recommend you download the maps of the area for offline use prior to travel, just in case service is lost. 
 
PRIVATE PARKING: There is plenty of space in the driveway and turnaround for your vehicles 
 
ACCESSIBILITY: There are quite a few steps to get to the main level. The lower level is accessible- which is where the lower deck, two bedrooms, an accessible bathroom, game room, theater and lower deck are.
 
CLEANING PRACTICES: We have one of the absolute best cleaning teams in the Smoky Mountains. The cabin is thoroughly cleaned and disinfected before every guest checks in. Surfaces are disinfected, bedding is changed and washed, and the hot tub is emptied, cleaned and refilled. 
 
SOME THINGS TO NOTE: ❗️Guest access Instructions will be sent after the balance is paid in full and the rental agreement signed, and damage/security deposit information filled out.❗️ 
► MUST be 25 or older to book, sign rental agreement and schedule security deposit hold within 48 hrs of booking. 
► NO SMOKING.
► PETS. Two pet maximum. $150.00 per pet fee. Dogs Only. No other pets. No puppies. Guests must sign the pet addendum. and assume financial responsibility for any damage due to pets ie cleaning, repair and replacement due to scratching, peeing/ excrement in the cabin etc. Violation of rules are grounds for eviction and loss of security deposit. Any questions, please reach out before booking.
►SERVICE ANIMALS- For service animals, we use the FAA service animal form. Animals may not be left unattended in the home. 
►SECURITY CAMERA: There are security cameras on the front porch, and over the entrances for everyone’s protection. This is a remote area, and the house is often unoccupied between guests. The cameras are pointed away from the cabin itself. Touching or tampering with the cameras is a violation of your rental agreement and of our terms. If you touch or tamper with the cameras, you will be asked to leave the property immediately. 
►VIEW: If you're dreaming of views of mountain tops, this IS the home for you. In the fall, it is an explosion of colors and you can see them all as far as the eye can see. In the summer, the leaves sway around the cabin, and far away across the mountains. In the winter you can see more deeply into the forests around us. 
►ROADS: As described above, our paved driveway is at the end of a gravel road. Our driveway is steep. If you're dreaming of wide, flat paved roads this is NOT the cabin for you.
►ROOF: The roof is metal with no attic. If a squirrel crawls on the roof or if it is raining, you will hear it, no need to be alarmed. 
►BUGS: While we have a regular pest control program the cabin is in an area that can have some pests(insects). This is the forest, and while the trees sit back from the house quite a bit, Nature is filled with creatures. As such, it is possible to get 4-6-8 legged or winged visitors both outside and inside. This cannot be 100% prevented. We do not refund for issues with forest creatures. When staying at the cabin, NEVER leave food items in the vehicles, NEVER leave food, leftovers, or trash outside. Trash should be bagged & locked in bear-resistant trash containers (provided). 
► Animals: There are bears, coyotes, deer, squirrels, owls and other animals in the area, and often on the property. Be still and you might see them. 
► Excessive cleaning charge - $300 Your cleaning fee assumes you have followed the check-out instructions. Trash is bagged, pots and pans are washed & returned & dishes are washed in dishwasher. Grill was cared for during stay and is reasonably clean. The house has been used, but there is no damage or extensive cleaning required to prepare for the next guest. If this is not the case and there is excessive cleaning required, an additional $300 will be deducted from your security deposit.

 

Hi, I'm David, I live in California, but grew up in Minnesota, and love spending time in the mountains. I've lived in quite a few places in the US, including Brooklyn, Seattle and Venice Beach, and lived for a couple of years in Rio de Janeiro. Besides the Smoky Mountains, I'm a huge fan of the Rockys in Colorado, and spend time there in the summer when I can with my dog Jake. By day I work in education and music, and I'm really excited to share this amazing home with you.
