Welcome to Hiker's Lodge, a spacious three-bedroom, three-bathroom vacation rental cabin in the heart of Gatlinburg, TN! We're not just dog-friendly; we're downright dog-loving! Nestled at the end of a private cul-de-sac, Hiker's Lodge is a paradise for both two-legged and four-legged guests. We welcome up to two dogs, and yes, additional fees do apply. Nature enthusiasts, take note! Right behind the house, a private hiking trail beckons, leading you into the valley, offering a scenic escape like no other. It's the perfect spot to stroll with your furry friend.

As you step inside the cabin on the main level, you'll be greeted by an inviting open-concept layout. The gathering area is a cozy retreat featuring comfortable furnishings, a toasty gas fireplace, and a generously sized TV (the owner does not provide cable services, but several free streaming services are available. Also, guests can log in to their own cable provider accounts, such as Spectrum, Xfinity, Netflix, Hulu Live, or YouTube TV, etc.)). Next up, the kitchen area, thoughtfully stocked with everything you need to whip up delicious meals – just bring your groceries! The dining table is perfect for enjoying shared meals and fun-filled game nights with your loved ones.

The main level also boasts a welcoming king bedroom with a private bath, ensuring you have all the comfort you need. For those who relish outdoor cooking, the deck area provides a handy gas grill, allowing you to savor your culinary creations in the crisp Smoky Mountain air.

Venture upstairs, and you'll discover another inviting king bedroom, complete with its own private bathroom, offering a peaceful retreat within your retreat. Its closet has been converted into a "kids' cave," home to built-in bunk beds, children's books, etc. If you'd prefer to have your little ones close by at night, this is a great additional option for a family-friendly sleeping arrangement!

The lower level is home to another king bedroom with a bathroom, and a game room that's an entertainment paradise. Challenge your skills at the pool table or cozy up by the second gas fireplace. Need extra sleeping space? There's a bunk bed with a twin XL over queen for added convenience.

Outside on the lower level deck, your personal oasis awaits – the hot tub! It's the perfect spot to melt away your worries and stress while soaking in the serenity of your natural surroundings.

Guests of this Gatlinburg chalet rental have access to three clubhouses, the closest to Hiker’s Lodge being the S. Baden Clubhouse, which has a large outdoor pool, changing rooms/showers, shuffleboard, horseshoes, a playground, tennis courts, a gym, and a game room with billiards, ping pong, foosball, checkers/chess, and video games.

Everything was perfect. The attentive messages leading up to our stay; the messages explaining our late check-in, and the house was sparkling clean and with all necessities for a group of 6 adults, a 12 yo and an infant.

The perfect little get away

The privacy was great and the view was so pretty. Loved that there was a little trail next to the house to sit and relax as well. We did have some bears get in the vehicles but heck that's expected lol We will for sure be back.

Great Family Cabin

Very nice cabin suitable for families with pets or children. Every floor had child gates if needed and each bedroom was large with its own bathroom. The property had a great view and wasn’t too far from Gatlinburg or the property office. The cabin also has its own drive essentially so parking multiple vehicles is fairly easy. The hiking trail wasn’t anything special but it does exist. We did end up seeing a couple bears and you absolutely need to follow the guidance on securing your trash. Overall a pleasant experience.

Sept. 9-14 Hikers Lodge stay 2023

Nice cabin, lots of room for our family of six and two dogs. Very clean for a pet friendly cabin, small damp spot on down stairs landing from previous cleaning, but no big deal. Our adult children enjoyed the pool table, arcade games, and hot tub. Gave 4 stars for location just because driveway was a little dicey, but people have to understand these beautiful cabins are on the mountain and you have to be careful and cautious. Attention tonneau cover people: when you empty your truck bed, roll your cover back! Smells linger, had a momma bear with 3 cubs on top within 1/2 hour of arrival! Great stay! P. Vangor of PA.
