Special Discounts! Family Escape!

Stay longer - Save more! This beautiful, comfy custom luxury lodge will make the perfect, plush background for your family's mountain memories.

No expenses spared. No amenities overlooked! Vacation in high-end comfort.

Three decks, two hot tubs, two charcoal grills, a fire pit, espresso machine, pool table, video gaming systems, theater room...the list goes on.

You must see it to believe the absolute breathtaking beauty of this lodge! The views from this mountaintop retreat are spectacular too!

So, grab the family and escape to the serenity of Vista Lodge! This luxury lodge is nestled high on a mountain right in the heart of Gatlinburg and is an ideal location to enjoy the Great Smoky Mountains National Park! For the adventurous who enjoy hiking, the Park is easily accessible by a short 0.5 mile hike up a nearby old logging road! By car, the park is just 2.5 miles from the lodge.

Gatlinburg is a great place to visit for adventure seekers or relaxed visitors alike. Start your morning by taking in the fresh mountain air and the fabulous mountain views with a fresh cup of coffee in hand from one of our three spacious decks. During the day go hiking on the nearby trails, picnicking next to the streams, shopping the crafts trails.....end your days relaxing while watching the sunset from one of our 18 rocking chairs or two porch swings or from the relaxing comfort of the seven person hot tub or the huge 12-person party hot tub or from one of the eight Adirondack chairs while relaxing around the fire pit - the choice is yours!

Later in the evening, you can enjoy some star gazing from your seat around the fire pit in our outdoor living area on Level 3 or you can enjoy a movie or the big game in the theater room on the big screen TV with the awesome surround sound system while relaxing in the tiered seating of the luxury leather recliners. The kids (and adults too) are sure to enjoy a game of pool on the regulation size 8 ft pool table and its companion 10 ft shuffleboard table. There's also a multi-arcade cocktail table which includes 60 of the top arcade games from the 80's including Pac Man, Donkey Kong, Mario Brothers and many more which could keep you busy for hours on end!
Undoubtedly, there may be someone in the group who will want to fire up the X-Box One gaming system and play someone in a game at Vista Lodge or someone back home via the internet. For those who like card games, board games and puzzles, there is a gaming table in the Level 2 game room.

Vista Lodge can easily accommodate 24 people with inside dining for 26+ and outside dining for 14+. The Lodge is situated just minutes away from downtown Gatlinburg in one direction and the Rocky Top Sports World complex in the other direction. Attractions like Dollywood, Dixie Stampede and The Island are just a few minutes further away in Pigeon Forge.

With the Great Smoky Mountains National Park being right next door, bear sightings occur regularly at Vista Lodge. Seeing the bears in person is an awesome experience and we encourage our guests to enjoy our mountain "neighbors". However, as the National Park Service reminds us, even though seeing a bear is a truly exciting event, it is important to remember that bears in national parks are wild and can be dangerous. Their behavior is sometimes unpredictable. While we encourage our guests to enjoy viewing the bears, it is important to keep your distance and not surprise the bears. Everyone will be able to go home happy that way!

Vista Lodge is a special, one of a kind, custom, luxury cabin with all of the amenities that you need to have a tremendously memorable and unparalleled vacation of a lifetime! You will find that Vista Lodge is a marvelous place for families and friends to spend time together. Whether you are celebrating an Anniversary, a Birthday, a Family Reunion or just time away from the hectic pace of life back home, Vista Lodge is the perfect place to gather, to relax, to visit, and to enjoy the company of those that you love and care about while enjoying the spectacular beauty and views from this mountaintop retreat!

Vista Lodge has a state of the art fire protection, surveillance and security system for your safety. Book online or call us today to reserve your stay. Book now to assure that you are able to reserve the time slot that best suits your needs! Our price is based on 24 folks. There is no extra charge for filling the lodge to capacity! You must be 30 years old to rent this property. Absolutely no pets, no smoking and no house parties.

It would be our honor and privilege to have you stay with us while you are vacationing in the Smokies. We look forward to having you stay at Vista Lodge for a truly remarkable and unforgettable vacation experience!

Wonderful week in the smokies

We spent an amazing week in the Smokies at this beautiful cabin and couldn’t have asked for a better place to stay. The cabin was spotless, thoughtfully designed, and fully stocked with everything we needed—from kitchen essentials to great amenities that made it feel like home. The views and setting were incredible, and the space was perfect for relaxing and spending quality time together. We truly enjoyed our stay and would absolutely recommend this cabin to anyone looking for a comfortable, well-appointed Smokies getaway.

Great location and amazing views!!

We really enjoyed our stay at the Vista Lodge. The view was spectacular and the visiting bears everyday was the highlight of our trip. The hot tub is huge and I love that most of the rooms felt like their own suites. We are planning to come back in March. For a return trip

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!
