The Space
The main level is open and easy to move through. The living room centers on an electric fireplace and a large wall-mounted TV, with deep leather sofas for the whole group. Pine ceilings and charcoal shiplap accent walls give it a warm, modern mountain feel, and the living area flows straight into the dining space and kitchen.

Game Areas
There are two spots to play. One has a full-size pool table, a pinball machine and a granite wet bar with a sink, mini fridge and four stools, with French doors out to the deck. The other is a lounge with two stand-up arcade cabinets and comfortable seating.

Speakeasy Movie Lounge
Velvet drapes, framed film posters and warm accent lighting give this room the feel of a hidden speakeasy theater. Dim the lights, sink into the swivel lounge chairs or the tufted sofa, and settle in for movie night.

Kitchen and Dining
The kitchen is built for cooking in a crowd. Two refrigerators, two dishwashers, a center island with cooktop and hood, and plenty of counter and cabinet space let several cooks work at once. Cooking basics, dishes, silverware and wine glasses are stocked, along with a coffee maker, blender, toaster and kettle. Two long dining tables with bench and chair seating sit just off the kitchen and seat 18, with six more seats at the counter, so all 24 guests can eat together.

Mini Bowling and Mini Golf
On the covered deck, a mini bowling lane with wooden pins runs alongside a compact mini golf green with obstacles and flagged cups. Putters and balls are on hand, string lights keep the tournament going after dark, and the roof overhead means a light rain will not end the game. Run a family bracket, split into teams, or just see who can knock down the most pins.

Outdoor Living
Two separate private hot tubs mean a big group is not waiting for a turn. The covered deck has outdoor seating, string lights surrounded by tall hardwoods that turn gold and red in the fall.

Big Sky Lodge is tucked into the wooded hills of Gatlinburg, close to the national park, the Parkway and the Arts and Crafts Community. Spend the day hiking, riding the tram to Ober Mountain, or visiting Ripley's Aquarium and Anakeesta, then head back for dinner, a mini golf rivalry and a soak in the hot tubs. Tall hardwoods surround the lodge and turn gold and red in October and November.

A car is required. Big Sky Lodge is in the hills above Gatlinburg, so dining, shopping and attractions are a short drive away rather than a walk. Roads to the lodge are paved. Parking is on the property for 6 vehicles.

Rideshare is limited in the mountains, so plan on driving.

🌡️ Hot Tub Note: Our hot tubs are freshly cleaned and reset for every guest - which means they need a few hours to reach full temperature after turnover. Plan on soaking by late evening on arrival day. We think the wait is worth it.
🪜 Stairs: The lodge has three levels connected by stairs, so please plan accordingly for guests with mobility needs.
⛳ Deck Games: The mini golf and mini bowling are on a covered, open-air deck. Please supervise children at all times.
🛏️ Sleeping: The lodge sleeps 24 when all three sofa sleepers are in use. The two bunk rooms share one full bathroom.
🚗 Parking: 6 spots
🚭 No smoking, no parties and no events.
