Top Notch Lodge in Smoky Mountains

Private lodge, 37' indoor pool, 6 suites-sleeps 36

Top Notch Lodge is a private, beautifully decorated lodge for only your group and sleeps up to 36 people! With six separate one bedroom condos, you have privacy to relax. Shared spaces like the lounge allow you to socialize as much as you like. It's simply the best way to vacation with friends or family! The amenities are unrivaled and include one of the largest private indoor heated pools in the Smokies and 7-person hot tub. The arcade and lounge area are fantastic!

Each of the six cozy suites is decorated to make you feel like you've stepped into your favorite design magazine. You'll enjoy a queen-sized bed with bunk beds in each bedroom, plus a full-sized sleeper sofa (in the living room) in all of the units, which will accommodate a party of six people each, as well as a private bathroom with access through the bedroom. Each fully-equipped kitchen is outfitted to meet all of your cooking needs, with a washer and dryer in every unit so you can pack lightly. Cozy seating areas, like your private balcony and the spacious backyard with firepits, allow you to relax or spend time catching up with old friends!

This property will astound you with all the fun amenities and keep everyone entertained for hours on end. It has a huge, 37 foot heated indoor pool with two garage doors that open to the outside if you so choose. The game room boasts the four-person "Harpoon Lagoon," which is rarely seen in a private property. There is also a brand new multicade with 412 games and a new two-person "Big Buck Hunter Reloaded" shooting game, plus skeeball and a two-player basketball shoot-out game. In the lounge area, you'll find a kitchenette with refrigerator and microwave, bistro seating, and a pool table. Dine together in our newly added dining room that has seating for at least 24 guests.

The large outdoor space offers three gas firepit areas with seating, corn hole, a bocce ball court, and a playground area for children that includes a climbing wall, slide, swings, and playhouse. The hot tub is located under a pergola where you can see the outdoors come to life, beneath the string lights, that make the area feel magical at night.

The entire property is available for the exclusive use of your party.

Located 15 minutes from Dollywood, you're close enough to all the action but far enough away for some peace and quiet. Our property is located near what used to be Dolly Parton's father's farm. The home that her father lived in later in life is just at the bottom of the hill. We pay tribute to Dolly in our party room with the piece of art that was commissioned. (If you would like more information about the artist please visit Maple Built on social media.)

We are also less than 3 miles from "4 Points Farm" if you're looking for a beautiful venue to hold your wedding events before spending the night at our lodge.

We are nestled conveniently between Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg about 17 minutes from the Parkway and 20 minutes from the Gatlinburg strip.

There is parking for at least 12-15 vehicles in the two parking lots. While the parking area is spacious, we don’t recommend tour buses or large RVs (15 passenger vans and short buses are okay). The road up the mountain to the lodge can be challenging for these longer vehicles/trailers, as some turns can be tight and there are areas that are steeper as you approach the property. Four wheel drive vehicles are recommended during winter visits for potential snow or icy conditions.

There is no stove or oven in the lounge (there are stoves/ovens in each of the suites). However, there is an XL 10-in-1 countertop toaster oven that fits two 16" pizzas and allows you to bake, air fry, toast, slow cook, dehydrate, broil, roast, warm, pizza, and turbo convection.
