## A SPACIOUS RETREAT MADE FOR FAMILIES
One of the best things about Penthouse Ski Lodge is the amount of space.
Unlike smaller cabins where everyone can quickly feel crowded, this approximately **2,000-square-foot condo stretches across two levels**, giving your group plenty of room to spend time together while still enjoying privacy when you want it.
It's an excellent layout for **two families traveling together** because each family can have its own sleeping space and bathroom while sharing the kitchen, living room, dining area, porch, and other common areas.
Grandparents joining the vacation? The main-level bedroom setup can also make multi-generational trips more convenient.
MAIN LEVEL | GATHER, EAT & RELAX TOGETHER
Step inside and you're welcomed by a spacious open floor plan where the **kitchen, dining area, and great room flow together**.
Everyone can be part of the conversation—whether you're cooking breakfast, playing games at the table, watching a movie, or relaxing by the fireplace.
And throughout the condo, the beautiful mountain scenery reminds you that you've arrived somewhere special.
HUGE FULLY STOCKED KITCHEN
Vacation meals are easier when you actually have room to cook.
Our oversized kitchen offers generous counter space and is stocked with the essentials needed to prepare everything from quick breakfasts before heading into Gatlinburg to big family dinners after a day exploring the Smokies.
Gather everyone around the **large dining table** for meals, games, and conversation.
Need more seating?
The kitchen bar provides seating for **four additional guests**, which is especially convenient when traveling with children or a larger group.
A separate **laundry room and pantry** just off the dining area provides additional space for groceries, supplies, and longer stays.
GREAT ROOM | THE HEART OF THE LODGE
The spacious great room was designed for gathering.
Settle into the comfortable seating and enjoy a family movie on the large Smart TV, or gather around the impressive **stone wood-burning fireplace** on a cool Smoky Mountain evening.
But the real show is outside the windows.
The surrounding mountain scenery creates a beautiful backdrop for slow mornings, relaxing afternoons, and evenings spent together after exploring Gatlinburg.
SCREENED-IN MOUNTAIN-VIEW PORCH
Step directly from the great room onto the large **screened-in porch** and enjoy the mountain air without leaving the comfort of the condo.
With seating for six, it's a favorite place for:
• Morning coffee with a mountain view • Relaxing while the kids unwind • Evening conversations • Reading a book • Watching the mountains change throughout the day • Simply enjoying the peace and quiet
You may discover that some of your favorite vacation memories happen right here.
KIDS & FAMILY BUNK SUITE
Kids deserve a vacation space they'll remember too!
One side of the main level features an **extra-large bedroom suite** highlighted by a fun three-tier bunk bed with:
**Queen Bed + Full Bed + Twin Bed**
It's a great setup for siblings, cousins, or children vacationing together and gives them a space that feels like their own.
The suite also includes a **large Smart TV, huge walk-in closet, private full bathroom, and plenty of room to spread out**.
Parents get a little extra breathing room, while the kids get a fun mountain hideaway they'll be talking about long after vacation ends.
MAIN-LEVEL KING SUITE
On the opposite side of the great room is a spacious **King bedroom suite**, providing extra separation and privacy.
This arrangement is particularly convenient when **two families are traveling together**, since the bedrooms are positioned on opposite sides of the main living area.
The King suite includes:
• Comfortable King bed • Large Smart TV • Huge walk-in closet • Spacious vanity/getting-ready area • Private full bathroom • **Direct access to the screened-in mountain-view porch**
Wake up, step onto the porch with your coffee, and start another day surrounded by the Smoky Mountains.
HUGE PRIVATE UPSTAIRS MASTER RETREAT
Head upstairs and discover an entire upper level that feels like a private retreat within the condo.
The oversized master suite offers additional privacy away from the main living areas and includes its own comfortable **sitting area with two couches positioned to enjoy the beautiful mountain views**.
It's a wonderful spot for adults to unwind after a busy day.
The upstairs retreat also features:
• Large Smart TV • Spacious closet • Dedicated vanity/getting-ready area • Private full bathroom • **Huge jetted soaking tub**
After hiking in Great Smoky Mountains National Park, shopping in Gatlinburg, or spending the day exploring area attractions, come home and enjoy a relaxing soak before settling in for the evening.
THREE BEDROOM SUITES + THREE FULL BATHROOMS
When you're traveling with a larger group, bathrooms matter!
With **three spacious bedroom suites and three full bathrooms**, Penthouse Ski Lodge makes family vacations much easier.
There's less waiting in the morning, more privacy at night, and plenty of room for everyone to get ready before heading into Gatlinburg.

My family had such a great time! The setup was perfect for my three kids, my wife, and me. Having the kiddos in the room with the bunk bed was perfect and they were so excited to have a bunk bed. And our room right across from it was perfect.
The upstairs area was also quite nice for my sister in law to stay in and had an amazing view!
Stayed 3 nights in Jul 2024
Response from VrboOwner on 9 September 2024
Thank you so much for staying with us!! We really appreciate the 5 star review!! And yes, our kids love the 3-tiered bunk bed too!!
Loved our stay at this cozy condo! Felt like home from the minute you step inside. They even had the place decorated for Christmas which made us smile. The VIEW!! Amazing! Could have sat by the window all day and watched from dawn to dusk. Plenty of room for 3 kids and 2 adults.The pool/hot tub wasn’t open which we didn’t know until arrival that they close November 1st. The drive up to the condo is doable, but plenty of mountain heights and switchbacks to work with. For that view though? We will be back!

About the host
Hosted by Heath Hueter
I'm a proud wife and mom to six amazing children. After retiring from my career as a Respiratory Therapist, I chose to stay home with our twin boys and pursue a path that allowed me to put family first. Real estate investing has been an incredible blessing, giving us the opportunity to create beautiful mountain retreats for others. Because our family has always loved the Great Smoky Mountains, it's a true joy to share our homes with guests and help create unforgettable memories in a place we cherish.
Why they chose this property
We love Windswept for its peaceful mountain setting, where nature surrounds you in complete tranquility. While you'll feel wonderfully secluded, you're still just a short drive from the area's best attractions—offering the perfect balance of relaxation, convenience, and an unforgettable mountain escape.
What makes this property unique
We chose Penthouse Ski Lodge because of its peaceful atmosphere and the instant sense of serenity it brings. From the moment we stepped inside, we knew it was the perfect retreat for our family. The spacious open floor plan creates a warm, inviting space where everyone can gather together, allowing us to stay connected while meals are prepared and memories are made. What truly captured our hearts, however, were the breathtaking mountain views that grace every window, surrounding the home with natural beauty and making every moment feel a little more extraordinary.
