In Depth Details:

As the owners, we personally manage Bella Vista Lodge. We focus on quality and detail, ensuring a level of care and service that large property management companies can't match. We own and manage only a handful of cabins, allowing us to dedicate time and attention to each one. Bella Vista sits on nearly 1 acre of flat, level land, offering incredibly rare and ample outdoor space in downtown Gatlinburg. Most cabins in the area have little to no outdoor yard space, or are positioned on steep inclines, Bella Vista is not like that. The paved driveway provides easy access and ample parking for multiple vehicle sizes and trailers.

Bella Vista Lodge offers a unique combination of stunning views, spacious comfort, and exceptional service, making it an ideal destination for creating unforgettable memories. Experience panoramic mountain views and serene sunsets from our mountaintop retreat. The property overlooks downtown Gatlinburg, providing spectacular night views of the city lights as well.

Great Property!
My grandson graduated high school and decided on Gatlinburg for a family trip. We rented this home to accommodate 13 people- my husband and I, my three grown kids, their spouses, and my grandchildren (between the ages of 3 and 18). It was a great home in a great location and definitely served us well. The house was clean and spacious. Each room has a bathroom which was helpful with so many people. We had quite a few bear visitors, they even ate our corn hole bags! The location is up a steep road but the view from the top is great. The basketball net was an added bonus. Overall, our stay was great, no issues at all. Highly recommend!

Beautiful views, very private
What you see is what you get; very accurate listing. But I want to mention some things that you might not realize. 3.5 balcony-style areas. Each of the four bedrooms has access (either directly or it's right next to it) to their own balcony. 2 of the 'balconies' are on the ground level and one of those has the hot tub... that's why I say ' 3.5 balcony-style'. There is no large/massive balcony for 12 people to hang out on all at once. The 2 balconies on the main floor can comfortably fit 6 people. The balconies are also quite private. Other neighboring cabins clearly have no privacy at all: You could be out on your balcony and you could throw an orange to somebody in a different rental. But THESE balcony areas were not exposed to many other windows etc from neighboring properties The kitchen is stocked well with cutlery, dishes and cooking equipment. There was nothing we were looking for that we couldn't find. I think we only saw 1 cutting board and it was broken - still usable. The AC was a bit weak; it was never very uncomfortable but not quite cold. Cool arcade game. Master Bath's soaking tub was great. Entering/exiting driveway was rough do to columns close to path. My only complaint would be that the emails from the owners were overbearing. Lots of repeated info and many negative sentences blaming prior guests for some of the rules. I advise running the automated emails through ChatGPT. 4/5 for communication 4/5 for A/C 90/90 everything else 98/100 total :)

Great Getaway
This was a great place to spend some time together as a family. We had 13 people in our party, 7 adults and 6 children. There was plenty of space to gather as a family and also have some private space when needed. The cabin is beautiful, with a well equipped kitchen, nice views, and aworking hottub. Just be prepared for a very steep ascent to get to the cabin. We all made it up in 2wd, but that would not be the case in winter weather. It would be even more treacherous going down in a situation like that. We had about 5 bear encounters during our 5 day stay at the cabin. None were agressive, but they were definetly comfortable around humans, so alwayss be smRt. Check in and check-out process was smooth. The only small complaint I have was that one of the pull out beds was grimy and the right hand lower bathroom door handle was not functioning properly. We couldn't get it to lock properly, until one point we locked ourselves out. The owner was good about andwering my questions thoroughly and in a timely manner via text. Overall, great stay.

Fantastic Stay
Great place to stay while visiting the Gatlinburg area. Short drive to downtown, groceries, and shopping. Dont skip a visit to the local craft store and the soda fountain is a must visit. The cabin was well appointed and had everything we needed for a group of 10. The ensuit bathrooms for every bedroom worked out for all. White water rafting for all ages is a short country drive through some of the most beautiful country you can see. Back to the cabin... comfy bedding, clean, and plenty of room for our family to be together. The teens and younger ones enjoyed the game area and their own tv area in the evenings. Wildlife, yep they got it... bears visiting almost daily, birds and raccoons are your new neighbors. Make sure the trash is locked and keep the porch clean and they wont be a bother. They will walk off with your shoes and hats too. Kitchen had everything we needed for our stay. Morning coffee on the deck with views for miles, we were planning our return by the time we made it to the end of the driveway on checkout day. Owners are attentive and quick to respond if you have questions. Book it now! Thanks Chris and Sarah, looking forward to returning.

A little slice of heaven.
We stayed here on our first trip to Gatlinburg this summer, and we were absolutely blown away! The house beyond exceeded all of our expectations, it was spacious, comfortable, and most importantly clean and tidy. The views are second to none, you are sitting on top of the mountain looking across the valley where Gatlinburg is situated. The host is amazing, very accommodating and responsive when communicating, and to top it off we got to see a bear walk across the yard! We will definitely be returning to this little slice of heaven in the years to come!

Really nice place. Clean, plenty of space, and it’s a really good location…5 minutes to downtown Gatlinberg, 5 minutes from a grocery store, 15 minutes from Dollywood. Everybody had their own en-suite bathroom and king bed. The downstairs game room was a lot of fun with epic games of shuffleboard and soaking in the hot tub. The view is great, and the property is the best in the community with plenty of parking and nice flat property. Highly recommend, Chris is a great host, easy to get in touch with, and easily added an early check-in and an extra night to our stay.
