About this property
Private-Panoramic Views of the Great Smoky Mountains-FREE Mountain Air
Mountaintop Experience offers a comfortable authentic cabin atmosphere and a wonderful mountain-top setting with spectacular panoramic fifteen mile views into the Great Smoky Mountain National Park. If incredible mountain views are at the top of your 'must have' list, this cabin will not let you down.
From the back of the cabin no other cabins are visible. We replaced the upper deck early in 2017, replacing the spindles with hog wire, making the views even more unobstructed. The next year we updated the lower deck with hog wire. It's amazing what lengths some owners go through to take pictures that appear to show privacy! We have been burned several times in this way.

Lower Level: 10' ceiling throughout lower level with carpet, Game Room with Stone Gas Fireplace, New Pool Table (11/2018), old-fashioned video game table, 42" HD LED TV, BluRay DVD player, Wii console (bring your own games and remotes), Two Queen Bedrooms (one with access to lower deck and TV/DVD; one with Wi-Fi Router for Internet Access, and sleep number mattress), Full Bath (new granite, tile, tub, sink, faucets), Separate Utility Room with Washer and Dryer, Pull out queen Sofa bed, Covered Deck spanning the length of the cabin with Hot Tub, two-person rocker and two single rockers.

This cabin was absolute PERFECTION! Lori was very personable and communicated every detail ahead of time, the cabin was clean, welcoming, cozy, and relaxing. There was no detail lacking with this one, from the completely furnished kitchen, to the cozy fireplace and the OMGosh soft and cozy bath towels... I'm not sure what could have been better. And to top it off, the view from the deck was AMAZING!!! We will definitely book this cabin again for a future trip!
Loved this VRBO. Location was great and the view was unbelievable. We were very happy with our stay. Just a very pleasant experience, would do it again.
The views are just as great as advertised! Cabin was very clean and it is really well set up. Location was terrific as it is private but only a short drive to the various places of interest. We will definitely stay there again.
We took a family vacation to experience the Great Smokey Mountains National Park. The cabin and its location were worth the trip alone! Lori provided us with great guidance and recommendations that made our families experience something to remember.
This was the best view that I have ever had. From the moment you walk through the front door you know you picked the right spot. We enjoyed every aspect of the home but my favorite was sitting on the deck and soaking in the view. We even got to see a mama and her baby bears.

About the host
Hosted by Lori Thompson
Owners Charles, Debbie, Jeff, Lori, and Charlotte Thompson
Charlie, Jeff, and Lori, all engineers, appreciate the structural integrity of Mountaintop Experience. Debbie, a teacher, can't stop marveling at the view. Charlotte, our sixteen-year old enjoys the view, the comfy sofas and the Wi-Fi most of all. When she was younger her favorite thing was the hot tub. She would always make sure to remember her goggles. After all, all professional hot tub swimmers wear goggles!
Why they chose this property
My husband and I having been visiting the Great Smoky Mountains for thirty years. We've stayed in Pigeon Forge, Gatlinburg, Sevierville, Walden's Creek, Townsend, and Wears Valley. We love them all. Since we live in Knoxville, several weekend trips a year, even on the spur of the minute, are not out of the question. We've stayed in many different cabins. The problem was that there was always something that could have been better. A cabin with a great view would offer no privacy. One with privacy had no view. We wanted a cabin with as many amenities as possible that we could count on consistently. A 'known quantity', if you will. Of all the cabins we've stayed in over the years, none can hold a candle to Mountaintop Experience. Previously, it was named A Wilderness Lodge. However, since it isn't in the wilderness and it isn't a lodge, we changed the name to Mountaintop Experience. We hope you have a wonderful experience on our portion of this mountaintop.
What makes this property unique
The design of Mountaintop Experience is ingenious. With virtually the entire back of the house being windows, the mountain view is the centerpiece of the cabin. You can simply sit on the sofa and enjoy the incredible views. You can easily forget that anyone else is around.
