Mountain Views - Hot Tub - Fire Pit - Motorcycle easy access

Imagine waking up to a breathtaking panorama of the Great Smoky Mountains, the ever-changing vista unfolding before your eyes.

Lookout Lodge, your luxurious Smoky Mountain retreat, offers more than just a view, it's an experience. This spacious 4-bedroom, 2.5-bathroom cabin is perfect for families or multi-family getaways. Just 10-15 minutes from Bryson City and 20 minutes to the Smoky Mountain entrance, it's the ideal base for your adventures.

Thrill seekers? Go tubing down the Tuckasegee River, test your skills with fly fishing in pristine streams, or soar through the trees on a zipline adventure! Nature enthusiasts? Hike majestic trails like the Deep Creek Loop or explore the abundance of waterfalls like the awe-inspiring Mingo Falls. Relaxation is calling? Unwind on one of the expansive decks with a cup of coffee, soak in the steam of the bubbling hot tub under a blanket of stars, or gather around the crackling gas fireplace inside with a good book.

Step inside the tastefully decorated haven. Large windows frame the breathtaking mountain views, while the open floor plan provides ample space for everyone to spread out.

The Primary Suite: A king-sized bed, a 50-inch TV for movie marathons, and a spa-like bathroom with a skylight and double sinks – pure indulgence awaits.

Great Views from the Mountain Top!

Can’t say enough about the views we woke up to every morning! Kitchen was well stocked, the kids loved the foosball table, and plenty of towels was a great surprise! Only have two things that could be looked into. Turning around was a little difficult from the driveway and would have liked to have had clean windows to view the mountains through. Other than that, a great property to stay in if you have a decent sized crowd.

Great time, perfect weather

Pros: great view, room for 7 adults to have private space, loved the hot tub! We were comfortable and had a really nice family reunion with perfect weather. Cons (more like fyi, bring stuff): bring spices/oils for cooking, wine glasses (only 2 there), ice if you need right away, charcoal (listing orig said gas grill, removed from listing now).

Sibling vacation

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: House had large rooms and very well maintained. Kitchen had only some sparse cooking essentials, so plan on bringing with you. But I would recommend this home for anyone wanting to visit the Bryson City area

Decompress

The property was beautiful. The view was amazing, above what we could have expected. It was the perfect place to decompress. Get away from the hustle and bustle. It went beyond our expectations. We just wish we had more time to spend here. Such tranquility.

Nice home with beautiful Smoky Mtn Views

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Enjoy our stay very much. The home was spacious for 4 guests for our recent stay. The proximity to downtown Bryson City ~15 minute drive was great too. Directions to the home and access codes were all very helpful. We used the game room table for mahjong and cards and even got to use the hot tub which was very clean and nice. The fireplaces were not operating in the home which was disappointing and I am used to rental homes having more spices stocked and just in general more kitchen cooking supplies, large mixing bowls, pots and pans etc. I wouldn’t recommend anyone visiting to bring their own spices and some larger mixing bowls if they anticipate the need. There was no filtered water but the tap water was fine for drinking. An owners manual to the home would have been helpful too. Overall, would recommend!

Beautiful location and Clean house but technology alot to be desired

We had a family of teenage kids which technology is very important and the tv did not work as well as the wifi. Also the downstairs fans did not work. The house overall was excellent but the technology and contact with the host is much to be desired.

Beautiful Views, Poorly Managed

We thoroughly enjoyed the sweeping beautiful views from this cabin. It was spacious and well stocked. We were however very frustrated that we did not have WiFi for the entirety of our stay. We were unable to use the TV or work because there was no WiFi. The property managers at Yellow Rose were not helpful and the owner was unresponsive. We called multiple times and the issue was never resolved. We will visit Bryson City again, but we will avoid Yellow Rose Properties for our next visit.

The view is picture perfect! There is plenty of room we were a party of 8 adults. There is no shower on the main floor so it was a challenge for those with knee problems who stayed on the main floor.

Couldn’t get to our cabin due to icy road.

Due to the road being icy we couldn’t drive up to our cabin and there was another car stuck on road leading to our cabin. Just keep in mind there is a chance you may not be able to stay at the cabin you have booked if you are traveling in winter.

If you’re want a place to be secluded and have an amazing view inside the mountains this is it.

This property is amazing just sitting on top of a mountain with amazing views plus all the amenities you’re ever going to need on vacation. If you have a group this is definitely a spot because every room in the house is spacious even the bathrooms. Nothing negative to say but a couple things I think should be noted if you’re hauling a trailer as we do there is very little turnaround you do have a place to park it’s just tricky getting it in there and you should take plenty of your own bottled water Some of the guys with me did not enjoy the taste of local water.

Amazing views!

The views are absolutely amazing!! The house is great as well, absolutely beautiful decor! There was a few things that were broken in the house; the chess table falls to pieces when you pull the drawer out, the air hockey table is missing a counter on one side and the score board doesn’t work, the curtain rod in the room with the balcony fell down multiple times, and the hot tub didn’t get hot; it was actually cold! Other than the few minor things, we had a great trip!!

King Wedding

We traveled from Pennsylvania to attend a wedding. When we first arrived there was no water and the property manager did not tell us this which was an inconvenience because we had to use the next-door cabin’s bathroom until the next day. Other than that the stay was very comfortable, the house was clean and the views were absolutely amazing!

Would stay again

Everything was as listed. The views were amazing and the hot tub felt great! There were only a few small things that could have made things better. The remote to the living room tv was missing. The wifi went out on the first night. And there was a broken chair and a couple broken kitchen drawers. No issues that truly impacted our stay. Would definitely stay again.

Stunning Views pictures do it no justice

The views are forever changing! Not only are the views 10/10 but so is the house. We had plenty of room for 7 adult size people. The hot tub was perfect for all the rainy days, which there was several but it never damped our time. We loved going tubing and the tail of the dragon was a nice surprise when we first drove in! Absolutely would stay again and recommend! Plenty of towels and cooking ware.Beds were uncomfortable but im a bed snob, with my sleep number. Stop looking and stay here! Its worth the single/shared lane up to the house.
