One of the best places I've stayed in.

This place is wonderful. It is very spacious and located just up 321 so very close to town. It has just about any cooking utensils and pots you would want. Game room downstairs has pacman, skeeball, theatre room, air hockey, pool table and a few others. The kids loved the theatre room. I would very highly recommend this place for a large family vacation.

Loved Roaring Fork Lodge Gatlinburg

Amazing Cabin, crazy roads

We loved our time in this cabin. We had a family of 8 including 2 elderly and 2 teenagers, and EVERYONE loved our time here. There were plenty of quiet places and then plenty of fun spaces. We had a visit from the neighborly bear, who was kind enough to pose for pictures. We were able to drive into town with ease. It's SUPER convenient to the grocery store. And wow, so clean. I was very impressed with what a great job the cleaners did. This cabin more than exceeded our expectations. The only downside was the drive from town to the cabin. This is not for the faint of heart. Nothing to do with the cabin, just really steep drop offs due to super skinny roads.

Beautiful cabin

This was a family vacation with our 4 adult children and their boyfriend/girlfriends, and it was a great vacation. The cabin was very clean and well maintained, and loved the location. Even saw black bear on and around the property each day of our trip (they didn’t bother us at all). Overall was a great place to stay and we will be using the cabin again for our next family trip to Gatlinburg.

About the host

Hosted by Chris and Sarah

Host profile image
Hi, I am Chris. My wife Sarah and I had been wanting a cabin retreat in the Smokies for many years. After many years of renting various properties we finally decided to buy one of our own. Roaring Fork Lodge is the name of our vacation home. Good maintenance and upkeep is at the top of our list. This is our second home and we want to keep it in top notch shape. The view from the decks are priceless as well as the interior of our cabin is tastefully decorated.

Why they chose this property

We chose this property due to it being located in a private location with a private driveway. It is also located only a couple minutes from the Gatlinburg strip and main entrance to the national park. Plenty of parking is available, and the views from the outdoor decks are AMAZING. Roaring Fork Creek is at the bottom of the mountain and you can hear it raging along when you are outside. It is very relaxing.

What makes this property unique

Roaring Fork Lodge is located on approximately 1 acre of mountainside land. It has a very private feel and is surrounded by forest. The lodge is located in Gatlinburg and is only a couple of minutes from everything downtown has to offer. We are 5 minutes from the Arts and Crafts community where there are over 100 small shops that sell unique locally made items. A grocery store is only 2 miles down the road and there is good cell service at our location, so you will stay connected if needed! The lodge is well built with western white cedar logs. Our cabin has a nice little front yard as well, which you do not see very often on a mountainside cabin.
