About this property
Best View In The Smokies! Sleeps 26, Central!
Imagine arriving somewhere photos simply can't prepare you for. Bags still unpacked, everyone finds their way to the deck as the Smoky Mountains unfold before them.
Mornings begin with coffee and mountain views; evenings bring long dinners, fireside conversations, and unforgettable sunsets.
Summit View Lodge is a spacious mountain lodge with nine bedrooms sleeping up to 26, designed for gathering, celebrating, and reconnecting!
Some homes simply sleep a crowd. Summit View Lodge was built to bring them close.
A kitchen positioned so no one cooking ever misses the conversation. Dining spaces built to seat the whole group at once, not split across tables. Every detail here keeps hosts near the people they've gathered. With nine bedrooms sleeping up to 26, coming together is effortless, and slipping away for a quiet moment is just as easy.
☆The Great Room, Level 3 Panoramic views of the Smokies stretch across the top floor. A bar, secondary kitchen, and generous dining and seating areas set the stage for evening board games or simply unwinding together. The expansive upper deck, with a brand new grill and fire pit, is where mornings start with coffee and days end with a sunset worth pausing for.
☆Entertainment Level, Level 2 Pool table, shuffleboard, arcade games, and air hockey keep the games going well into the evening. A private deck with a second fire pit and cozy blankets invites you outdoors after dark. A train set, toys, and books give younger guests a corner of their own. A floor where every generation finds something to enjoy.
☆Chef's Kitchen & Dining, Level 1 A spacious chef's kitchen, outfitted in double ovens, fridges, microwaves, and dishwashers, makes cooking for a crowd feel effortless. The lodge's largest dining table seats 26. A secondary breakfast kitchen, complete with a waffle maker, blender, and milkshake station, seats another 16. Just beyond, the wellness deck offers a hot tub and sauna with sweeping mountain views (spa towels provided).
☆Theatre, Lower Level A private theatre invites elevated movie nights and big-game days, with comfortable seating and cozy blankets for settling in. Round out the evening with cornhole, laser tag, and ring toss.

☆Outdoor Every level opens onto a deck built for taking in the view. Two separate fire pits, one each on the second and third floor decks, invite evenings outdoors. The top-level grill sits just off the second kitchen for easy entertaining, while the first-level wellness deck offers a sauna and hot tub of its own. A basketball hoop rounds out the driveway. Parking is ample; note the drive is steep, and 4WD is recommended in rain or snow.
☆Location 10 minutes to the Pigeon Forge Strip (Dollywood, The Island, and more) 15 minutes to Dollywood and Dollywood Splash Country Easy access to Great Smoky Mountains National Park for hiking Quiet luxury in the exclusive Quail Run community, close to the attractions yet wrapped in privacy
☆Housekeeping Three coffee stations, one on each main floor, come stocked with starter pods. High-speed Wi-Fi keeps everyone connected. Starter supplies, including toilet paper, paper towels, dish soap, and laundry detergent, are provided; longer stays may want to bring extra. A short-term rental agreement is required electronically after booking, standard practice for professionally managed properties. Native wildlife and insects occasionally make an appearance despite our pest program, and black bears remain part of this mountain ecosystem, so we ask guests to keep doors closed and avoid leaving food outside.

The cabin is overseen by a local company, Southern Sons Vacation Rentals, who are licensed and insured in TN.

We allow up to 2 dogs at the property. Please make sure to set your booking filter to include dogs if you wish to bring them.
All guests must sign a standard short-term rental agreement upon booking.
Please note - This property is located near the woods. That's part of its charm, but please note that rural areas do come with more bugs! We have a regularly scheduled pest control, but we do want guests to be aware that bugs may happen
We have BEARS that frequent the area around the cabin. Please keep your doors locked at all times and do not leave food outside. There is a $100 fee for leaving trash bags outside.

Game Room floor is amazing! Love the King Bedrooms with their own bathrooms. This house is at the top of the mountain and feels very private. Tons of parking and room to play basketball in the cul-de-sac.
Our family recently celebrated our father's 80th birthday - with three generations in attendance! - at this cabin. Best View in Smokies could not have been a better fit for our celebration! It truly provided the best and most beautiful mountain views, and with so many wonderful amenities, everyone had a great time. The host was incredibly responsive throughout the entire process from booking to planning/preparing to the actual stay. We highly recommend this property and host!
Great stay! The house was clean, and there were plenty of fun activities for the kids and amazing views, which made it a great family trip. Overall, everything went smoothly and was an enjoyable experience!

Convenient location, close to town and activities. The views from the top-level floor were beautiful and a highlight of the home.A few areas could use improvement, including a deeper cleaning, better water pressure, and attention to some squeaky beds. The steep road to the house is also something to be aware of.Overall, we had a decent stay and appreciated the location and views.
This place truly lives up to its name—absolutely the best view in the Smokies! The cabin was clean, comfortable, and perfect for a large group. The location felt private but was still close to everything we wanted to do. The host was responsive and easy to work with, and check-in was smooth. We made so many great memories here—highly recommend and would definitely stay again!

It was a nice large house at the top of the mountain. It was convenient area for family to meet from various states. It was also close to the surrounding towns. It appeared clean, however, the jet tubs were not clean and several stoppers were missing which made it impossible to draw a bath.The kitchen and breakfast room sinks were missing strainer stoppers. You could not have a sink full of dishwater to clean larger pots and dishes.The microwave in the breakfast kitchen did not work and needed service.There was a water leak above one of the double queen beds in the basement. There was not enough beds for 30 people unless you are counting sofas for beds.One of the bathroom’s lights above the sink were not working. There were plenty of dishes, glasses, and silverware. There needs to be a 2 qt pitcher. There were no large baking sheets or large casserole dishes. Some of the small metal bakeware was rusting! The pots and pans were of a nice assortment, however most were teflon and the surface was badly scratched. The host did provide the correct cooking utensils for teflon, apparently something else was used. The hosts were attentive when called and addressed several problems quickly.The house was not suitable for outdoor walking or hiking because the terrain was steep surrounding the house. There was a level large area for parking for many vehicles.
First time ever visiting the Smoky Mountains and this cabin made the trip unforgettable!! I came to celebrate my 40th birthday with family and friends and honestly couldn’t be happier with our stay. The cabin is HUGE — way bigger than the pictures make it look. Seriously, the photos do not do it justice at all. Everything mentioned in the details was completely accurate, which made the whole experience even better. The place was spotless, cozy, had amazing mountain vibes, and was super easy to find too. We spent the whole trip saying “wow” every time we walked into another room Beautiful views, peaceful atmosphere, and memories we’ll never forget. Already talking about coming back again someday!
