History & Establishment

Smoky Mountains Lodge was established as a short-term vacation rental property in the early 2020s by a family with deep roots in the Sevier County area. The property was thoughtfully designed and outfitted specifically for large family groups and multi-family vacation parties, with intentional investment in the amenities: pool, hot tub, game room, home theater, and premium kitchen. That makes the difference between a good cabin stay and an extraordinary one. The Wears Valley location was chosen specifically for its combination of natural beauty, national park proximity, and lower traffic and commercial density compared to the Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg corridors.
