Guests get the balance that matters most. A modern, well-kept space to unwind and the quiet mountain surroundings that make a getaway feel real.

The living room is the heart of Summit View Lodge. Floor-to-ceiling windows frame the Smoky Mountains and Mt. LeConte, giving you a backdrop that changes with the light. The space has comfortable seating for everyone, warm wood finishes, and an easy flow that works for slow mornings with coffee or relaxed evenings after exploring Gatlinburg.
Families and groups get a layout that feels natural. Two separate king bedrooms and a sleeper sofa give everyone room to settle in without losing time together. The cabin is equipped with high-speed internet and smart TVs, so movie nights, remote work, or keeping kids entertained is effortless. A well-stocked kitchen and a calm atmosphere round out a stay that makes it simple to reconnect and recharge.
Step outside and find yourself moments away from scenic Smoky Mountain hiking trails, ziplining, fishing, and more. Adventure lovers can explore by day and unwind by the fire at night.
Enjoy the best of both worlds, modern comforts like high-speed Wi-Fi, a fully equipped kitchen, and a hot tub, all surrounded by the peace and beauty of the mountains.
My wife, Stella, and I share a love for family travel, good food, and photography. After more than fourteen years staying in Airbnbs across the U.S. and Europe, we learned that the best experiences come down to a few simple things. A great location. Comfortable beds. A solid shower. And hosts who care enough to get the details right.
We fell in love with the Smokies and built Summit View Lodge as a place where guests can slow down, enjoy the quiet, and take in views that stay with you. Hosting together gives us a chance to share a place we truly enjoy. We keep the cabin clean, comfortable, and easy to settle into, and we stay accessible so your stay feels smooth from start to finish. Our goal is to give you the kind of trip that leaves you wanting to come back.
