About this lodge

Situated in Pittman Center, this lovely lodge for $519 per night is a fantastic option for your next vacation. Beautiful Luxury 5bd/4bath home with mountain views from 3 levels. This beautiful log cabin is a perfect getaway for family or friends. About half of our guests have bear sightings. Sleeps 12 comfortably + a sleeper for up to 2 more: Master suite with King, 2nd bedroom suite with Queen bed, 2 additional bedrooms with Queen beds, a 5th room sleeps 4 with queen over a queen bunk bed, and sleeper sofa if needed in the living room. Convenient to Smoky Mountain National Park, Gatlinburg, Pigeon Forge (Dollywood). It's a short day trip to Cherokee Casino or Biltmore House. For security and to prevent burglary this property has video cameras on the outside monitoring access points to doors. The front camera has a wide area view while the others are focused on the areas around the door. The lower-level camera DOES NOT oversee the hot tub; however, guests must pass in front of the camera to access the hot tub. The footage is recorded for about a week and then it overwrites. We practice continuous improvement. We purchased this property late in 2015. Our friends call our remodel a rebuild as we gutted 3 levels to take this 1970s cabin into the 21st century. It was very trying and everything took longer than expected. We try to continually enhance the property. * 2016 we completed a major renovation. Consisted of adding a gabled roof on the deck over the dining room. Expanded kitchen, removed spiral staircase, and replaced with large functional staircase. Removed some of the upper level walkarea that made no sense. Removed up to 5 levels of linoleum and replaced with hardwood and tile in upper and main levels. The lower level removed linoleum, sanded and stained cement floor. Replaced massive amounts of sheet rock with tongue and groove knotty pine. Fully remolded kitchen cabinets, appliances, flow, etc. Completed some needed cosmetic work to bathrooms on all levels but left them for another time. * In 2018 we redid the outside of the house to outside logs and upstairs windows, providing greater energy-efficient and more modern look. * 2019 rebuilt the deck and converted the railings from metal rail to wire which really opens the view. Also, in 2019 we suffered a catastrophic lightning strike that took out all TVs, washer & dryer, and more. * 2020 - COVID starts. * 2021 - Reworked attic access ladder to increase access size and allow HVAC equipment to be moved into the attic. * 2022 - January replaced/upgraded lower-level HVAC system. March replaced/upgraded upper-level HVAC system. Also moved HVAC from the master bedroom changing area to the attic. This is the first step in a plan to provide private bathrooms for the 2 upstairs bedrooms. * April 2023 completed the transformation of the upstairs changing room to a large luxurious master bathroom. The existing upstairs bath is now for the private use of the other upstairs bedroom; however, it will take until my next major construction project before the other room is considered a suite. * September 2023 Completed remodel and conversion of the upper-level bathroom to suite. Renovated both main and lower-level bathrooms. Lots to do with a pool table in the game room, an amazing hot tub, lots of rockers for reading and just relaxing wrap-around porch, flat-screen TVs in all rooms, and a large projector in the multimedia room. Lots of wildlife we often see a family of deer and on occasion, we will see a black bear and her cubs. Our neighborhood hosts three pools, a golf course, and for larger events the ability to rent space from the neighborhood HOA office at the very top of the mountain.

There were a lot of good things about our stay and the property - beautiful setting, convenient neighborhood. We even saw bears!! However we felt like many things listed in the description were not accurate - for example, the hot tub was basically unusable because the cover was broken, the pool table and dart board in the basement were in terrible condition and missing equipment (couldn't use either). The kitchen could use some serious TLC as well - we had 9 people staying in the house and there were only 7 forks!! We made the most of it and still enjoyed our stay but we probably would not return.

We recently stayed at this cabin with our family. The cabin is big and has a lot of potential. The neighborhood where it is located is very nice and the cabin has a nice view of the mountains. The only thing we believe needs to be improved is the overall cleanliness of the place. The oven was not clean, and there was spiderwebs in some areas. Also the fire places had a lot of dust and the sheets didn’t feel clean. For the price of these cabins we were expecting the place more than anything to be clean. One of the beds in one of the rooms of the main floor swings, seems like it was missing some wood parts and it was loose. Over all we had a good experience. The host was very responsive to all of our messages and was very helpful. All the instructions were clear and we had a very easy check in and out.

The house was great, plenty of space for our family of 10, clean and attractive. Our only issues were getting in and out of the driveway, especially at night (dark) and trying to communicate with property owner about a need that didnt get resolved til the last night. Small concerns that didnt ruin our stay , so no big deal.

The cabin was just right for our family members. It was very clean and comfortable. Located in an area near Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge. Our last night there we saw a family of 4 bear cubs and their momma. Right up close behind closed doors. Awesome! Thank you!
