Outstanding Views! 5BR/4.5 BA/ Sleeps 14, Hot-Tub, Pool Table!
Golden Arrow Lodge is an upscale escape with spectacular long-range mountain views from every room. The expansive main living room is right out of a magazine with soaring ceilings and a beautiful stone fireplace. Sit by the fire in the morning and sip your coffee or sit on the newly expanded deck and watch the sunrise over the mountains while enjoying the warmth from the outdoor stone fireplace. Make meals in the fully equipped kitchen or dine out at one of the many nearby restaurants. After a day of exploring the great outdoors, shopping, or visiting one of the local breweries, return to relaxation at Golden Arrow Lodge with a soak in the hot tub overlooking the mountains. Or, for some friendly competition, head down to the lower-level game room where you can play a game of pool, poker, or an arcade game while watching your favorite team on the 75" TV.

Golden Arrow Lodge is absolutely amazing! The views are incredible, the beds were all comfortable, the kitchen is fully stocked with everything you need to prep a meal, the outdoor fireplace and porches were perfect!! No one was ready to go home.
Beautiful views, great location, clean, and the kitchen had everything we needed. We enjoyed the porch with the beautiful rock fireplace! Our only complaint was the hot tub leaked and we were unable to use it.

Family getaway to the mountains. This house was amazing, and better than pictured or described. Everything we needed or imagined was in this house for us to relax and be around the house during our rainier than normal trip this year. Poop table and games were great, view beyond beautiful. Owners keep this house up very well. Smoky Mountain Retreat always delivers consistent rental experience. We will return to this house!

Ladies weekend in the Smokys at the Golden Arrow Lodge.Wow. That’s all the ladies said as they traveled up the mountain to our weekend retreat. My two granddaughters, two nieces, step daughter and friend. Then they entered the home and the wows started again. I’m a very good cook so we had gourmet meals morning and night. This was the best equipped kitchen I’ve ever had in a rental. I lacked for nothing to cook and entertain the crew. Every bedroom was so lovely no one was disappointed. Good internet connection, Alexa kept the music going, perhaps a little bit too much Taylor Swift😂 but we enjoyed it all. Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful home!
