This was our second stay here….our first visit was in June and both experiences were wonderful, which is why we were excited to return. The home is the perfect size for our family of four, very clean, and offers beautiful views. The host is responsive and easy to communicate with, which made everything even better. We were especially grateful to spend our Thanksgiving dinner here. We’d absolutely stay again!

Very clean, lots of space and beautiful views. We’ll probably stay here again in the future. I loved it, kids (six of them from age 2 to age 11), and my husband all really enjoyed our stay here. Host checked in with us and responded quickly when needed. No complaints here. We even saw a couple bears just around the corner during our stay.

We selected the property based on the stunning views, interior photos, and amenities. The property exceeded our already high expectations. The views were amazing, the property was beautiful and looked brand new. It was perfect for our family and a home away from home between hikes and activities.

My husband and I enjoyed three days at Sweetgum Lodge with another couple. We both enjoyed our own personal privacy and also together time in the communal space. The photographs make the lodge look larger than it is, but there was plenty of room for the four of us. The million-dollar views of the mountains were a real delight. The kitchen had all that we needed to enjoy my husband's cooking. Also, Stephan, the host, is very prompt at replying to messages and was very polite and helpful. I would definitely give this VRBO high marks.
