We stayed at Summit Ridge Lodge for a family reunion. It was a great location for us! The views are amazing!! Many morning coffee times were spent on the porches and many beautiful sunsets enjoyed in the hot tubs. It was also really neat that the property borders Dolly Parton’s childhood family homestead. We enjoyed reading about the history of the property and Dolly as well. The generac generators that each house had came in very handy when the power was out for several hours due to a big storm. We were so thankful to have them! Overall we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Our only suggestion is one day adding a fire pit patio area between the lower two houses as another great way to enjoy family company and the wonderful view. Thank you for opening your family vacation homes to ours!

Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We're thrilled Summit Ridge Lodge was the perfect place for your family reunion and that everyone enjoyed the incredible mountain views, peaceful mornings on the porches, and beautiful sunsets from the hot tubs. We're also glad the Generac generators provided peace of mind during the storm and that you enjoyed learning about the property's unique connection to Dolly Parton's family history. That's something many guests find especially memorable. We appreciate your thoughtful suggestion about adding a fire pit patio. It's a great idea, and we'll certainly keep it in mind as we continue making improvements to the property. Thank you again for choosing Summit Ridge Lodge. It was our pleasure to host your family, and we hope to welcome you back to the Smokies again soon!
