Living Room
Exquisite modern interior design combines with gorgeous cabin architecture in this impressive living room space where guests can enjoy one another’s company without feeling cramped under the cathedral ceilings and open-concept floor plan. Stay connected to the beauty of the Smokies outside while cozied up on the large plush sofas and armchairs on dreamy afternoons in the mountains.

Sip glasses of local wine from your tastings along the Rocky Top Wine Trail by the alluring fire burning in the elegant stone fireplace. Host hilarious group games in the 2 large seating areas flanked with leather sofas with ample seating during an evening of wedding festivities before the ceremony in one of the Smoky Mountains’ breathtaking chapels. As guests disperse and relax in between excursions to Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg, sink into one of the armchairs by large windows to enjoy a good book by the fire or peruse the Cabins for YOU blog for dinner and activity ideas.

Kitchen
Modern meets the mountains in this chic, fully-loaded kitchen with gorgeous stone-gray color schemes to complement the natural wood of the cabin. Spacious granite countertops provide all the room you need to prepare large meals together before popping a couple of turkeys into the 2 ovens, stirring sauces and steamy veggies on the 8-eye stovetop, and grabbing condiments from the 2 stainless-steel refrigerators.

While the breakfast bar is the perfect place for additional guests to dine or enjoy toasted English muffins as more guests begin to mosey into the kitchen drawn by the smell of freshly brewed coffee, it is also a great spot to set up a self-serve buffet during large holiday meals. Once the 2 dishwashers are loaded after dinner, grab chilled dessert wines from the wine cooler and share laughs with friends and family late into the evenings while settled around the dinner tables.

Dining Room
Two impressive wood dining room tables boast 36 seats, ample space to move about the room while visiting with family, and 4 ceiling fans to keep the room nice and airy while everyone dines, laughs, and enjoys large meals together. The beautiful dark wood flooring and pale timber tables, Smoky Mountain views through the living room, and an intimate cabin atmosphere provide guests with an alluring dining space to fit any occasion. Additional guests can sit nearby at the high-top breakfast bar lending 10 more spots to enjoy a delicious homemade or catered meal.

Bedrooms
Fourteen bedrooms boast beautiful log beds, cozy quilt furnishings, direct bathroom access to make showers and primping a breeze, and TVs to relax while watching your favorite shows during cabin downtime. Each bedroom on the entry level provides queen-size beds, perfect for grandparents and those with mobility issues visiting the Smoky Mountains. While each room varies in bed size and number, every guest is privileged to breathtaking mountain views from their windows, dressers or bedside tables, and air/heating units to adjust the temperature in each room.

Recreational Room
While the entry level houses the kitchen, living room, and dining area, the 2 upper levels boast 2 more common rooms for guests to hang out together, relax, and play. On the second floor, guests can lounge around on plush furnishings while watching movies on the large flatscreen TV or sharing drinks by the warm flames of the second fireplace before turning into bed for the night.

The third level’s rec room is full of fun ways for guests to stay entertained between excursions with a full-size pool table to play 8-ball and practice trick shots, an authentic arcade game and pinball machine, and air hockey! You can even teach younger guests how to play shuffleboard or challenge the kids to a few rounds of foosball. Sit back and watch the little ones have a blast while you sip on an ice-cold beer and lounge on the plush sofa or play a few games of checkers on the wood table.

Outdoor Amenities
Wake up early and revel in the mesmerizing views from Pinnacle View Lodge’s deck while sipping on freshly brewed coffee and lounging in the rocking chairs for the perfect start to any day. Sit hand-in-hand with your special someone in the 2-seat glider while unwinding at the end of another exciting day during your couples’ retreat in the Smoky Mountains as shades of pink and purple fade into starry skies.

Slip into the steamy waters of the large hot tub to enjoy a relaxing morning and let the kids get a turn with the bubbles while hamburgers and hot dogs cook on the 2 charcoal grills during a fun family reunion cabin cookout. The spacious, flat parking lot is perfect for numerous vehicles or buses to park and unload suitcases into the cabin along the ramp with ease.
