Summit Lodge - Beautiful mtn. views! Jacuzzi, GameRoom, Pool Access
The Summit Lodge is a beautiful log cabin home located in Black Bear Falls, a private resort in Gatlinburg, TN.
Summit Lodge is a great home base for whatever you have in mind for your dream vacation: a ski trip with other couples, a family vacation to Dollywood, or even a family reunion, Summit Lodge cabin is the perfect place.
The 5-bedroom log cabin is just a 5-minute drive from the restaurants and amusements of downtown Gatlinburg, and it’s nearly as close to the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, Ober Gatlinburg Ski and Amusement Park. It's also just a few minutes from the Gatlinburg Arts and Crafts Loop. About 10 minutes further is Dollywood and Pigeon Forge, TN.
On the cabin's lower level, there's a billiard table, checkers, and 3 classic arcade games: Galaga, Ms. Pac-Man, and Out Run. There's also a plush sofa where you can relax and watch a movie on the 55” HDTV with surround sound.
Outside there are two decks with plenty of comfortable rockers where you can take in the beauty of the Great Smoky Mountains. On the lower deck, step into the 7 person hot tub.
A double-height wall of windows in the living/dining area let you admire the mountain view even while indoors. In Winter, the gas fireplace makes the space an especially welcoming spot, though any time of year is a good one for stretching out on the living room sofa with a book or gathering the gang to watch a favorite show on the 50” HDTV.
The dining table seats 12 people comfortably; smaller groups can sit at the adjacent breakfast bar. The kitchen has all the equipment you need: appliances, cookware, tableware, to enjoy a home-cooked meal. There’s a dishwasher too, because why scrub dishes when you can be shooting pool or hiking in the mountains?
Each of Summit Lodge’s 5 bedrooms has its own bathroom, a TV, plenty of storage, and a view you’ll love waking up to. The most private of the bedrooms makes up the entire loft level and includes a king-size bed. Two additional master bedrooms, each with its own king-size bed, are just off the living room main floor.
Downstairs, on either side of the game room, are the remaining 2 bedrooms. Each of these rooms has 2 queen-size beds, making them perfect if a number of kids are in your group. They’ll feel as if they’re at sleep-away camp! What’s more, the sofas in the game room and the living area convert into beds, accommodating up to 4 more guests.
Because Summit Lodge is located in the Black Bear Falls Log Home Community, you can take advantage of the resort’s 2 heated swimming pools from Memorial Day to Labor Day. One of the pools is a kiddie pool, so the little ones can play too.
Whether is Winter, Spring, Summer, or Fall, you can enjoy a vacation that’s as action-packed or as laid-back as you like at Summit Lodge in Gatlinburg, TN!

This cabin was fantastic and had amazing views of the mountains and is only minutes from downtown Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge. I would highly recommend!
We had a great time! The cabin was the perfect place for our family to spend a few nights enjoying Gatlinburg and ringing in the New Year. Plenty of space for the 10 of us and very clean. The host was responsive to all of our questions. Would definitely stay here again!
Great experience. Problem accessing property however, host was very helpful. We had an air conditioning problem but host took care of it quickly.

The cabin was not ready for me and my family when we arrived, but with one quick call to the new owner/ manager every problem was fixed right away and we were able to enjoy our stay in the beautiful Summit Lodge Cabin. The view of the mountains were great and distance to all the attractions Gatlinburg had to offer was not far at all. I would definitely rent this cabin again.

thank you, we hope to see you again. We will be doing some major updates to the cabin this fall.
It was exactly as described online upon arrival. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Only 2 very minor issues- smelled like previous guest had smoke a pipe or cigar in the master in main level and the grill was not working correctly. In all fairness we didn’t contact the owner otherwise I ’m confident he would have responded. We just brought the burgers inside to cook.
We had a wonderful experience! The location was outstanding and there was so much to do right there. It was close to all of the major attractions in the area. We would stay there again.
The only negatives were minor-the mattresses could be newer, 2 of the bedroom windows weren’t all 100% covered, and the kitchen table was sticky in places. However it was fantastic to seat 12 of us at the otherwise beautiful table, and all of our 7 grandchildren were very sad to leave.
The cabin is roomy and was very clean. It’s well equipped for family bonding time and a birthday dinner for 17 in the cabin. We didn’t use the hot tub, but it looked very inviting! Due to the recent transfer of ownership, we had some difficulty getting in the cabin, but the owner worked with us until we were able to get inside. I recommend this cabin for a large family or friend gathering!
We just got back from a family vacation at Summit Lodge, and it was everything we hoped for. The location was peaceful and beautiful, tucked away in the woods with mountain views that made every morning feel like a postcard.There were 6 adults and 3 kids in our group, and the cabin had more than enough space for everyone to spread out and relax. The bedrooms were comfortable with their own private bathrooms. The kitchen had everything we needed (which made cooking meals easy).Outside was where the real fun happened. The hot tub was a hit, and so was the deck with the rockers. It was simple, low-key fun—the kind that makes the best memories.We were close to Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge, so it was easy to get out for hiking, exploring, and checking out local spots. But honestly, we were just as happy staying in and soaking up the cabin life.

Thank you for staying at Summit Lodge. We are so thankful to have you
Property was clean, we arrived at checkin time, and we still hadn’t received a door code to let us in, I called the phone number listed, and she let us in remotely, very apologetic , but straighten it out quickly. it was a little of a maze to get to this place on the mountain, we had a very large GMC sierra 3500hd to go around the corners, but the clear views of the mountains made it very worthwhile. We only had one bear sighting in the driveway, he was only roaming through up to the mountain. I would definitely recommend this property.
One of the cleanest properties I have stayed in and I own a Property Management Company so I know...... View was a Million Dollar view. We would definitely stay again. We are a family who cooks and the cabinets were lacking nothing. Well stocked with everything needed in a kitchen. Plenty of linens. When we arrived the code did not work. We reached out and it took more time then we would have liked after a long journey. Not sure if we hit incorrect buttons too many times or if the code was not in. We saw bears around the cabin 3 different times so just a heads up. Very neat from our balcony but certainly glad I was not on the lawn. Ha ha. Grocery Store is right around the corner. Tourist attractions are all an easy drive. We have this earmarked for a future visit.
