We really enjoyed staying here. The cabin is clean, the kitchen is well stocked and it is spacious enough for a large group of people. The view from the swimming pool is also stunning!
A stunning, huge, 3-level home with large, comfortable gathering spaces. The l-shaped screen porch was a popular spot for dining and games and conversations. Plus the wrap around balconies on two levels offered spectacular views of the surrounding woods, golf course, and mountains.
Wonderful layout and one of the best stocked kitchens.
Location in Townsend was great… close enough to get to Dollywood in 40 min but not crazy like Pigeon Forge or Gatlinburg.
Wildlife galore…. Didn’t see the bears BUT got into one of our cars! Destroyed the inside! Lock the doors even if you are on the property.
Drakes lodge by far exceeded our expectations, the screened in porch was a favorite spot for all . As well as the large dinning room table where we would share a family style dinner each evening while talking about the day’s events and what to do the next. It was a birthday our mom will never forget- thank you for sharing your beautiful home with us!
The house had lots of room to spread out with a beautiful view of the 9th hole and our 2 year old loved the ducks!

Great cabin!
We had a fabulous week in the Smokies at Drake's Lodge. The cabin was clean, spacious and very well equipped and provided ample space for 4 families. The view was lovely! The pool was also much appreciated although the pool area could do with a little TLC.
