Private Hot Tub Cabin · Game Room · Near Dollywood

Slide into the private hot tub as the sun drops behind the ridge while the rest of your crew racks up the pool table in the game room downstairs. Grand Elk Lodge sleeps 12 across four bedrooms plus a bunk room, sits near Dollywood (about five minutes away), and still feels like a real mountain retreat once the park lights go dark. Tonight it's laughter around the stone fireplace; tomorrow it's the Smokies. This is where your whole group finally lands in one place.The entire lodge is yours: no shared spaces and no other guests on the property (the community pool is shared with the neighborhood). Check-in is self-service with a smart lock, and your code arrives about an hour before your 4:00 PM arrival. The home is wheelchair friendly: a ramp leads from parking to the main level, with wide doorways, grab bars, and a shower chair in the roll-in shower. ABOUT THIS SPACE Walk into the great room and look up: soaring wood ceilings, a wall of windows full of trees, and a floor-to-ceiling stacked stone fireplace anchoring the sofas. There's room for all twelve of you to pile in for movie night or a Vols game, and the open floor plan keeps the cook in the conversation. The kitchen is built for a crowd: • Stone island with bar stools for four, plus a dining table for eight • Fridge, oven, dishwasher, microwave, blender, toaster and ice maker • Drip coffee maker AND a Keurig, both stocked for your first morning • Dishes, cooking basics, wine glasses and barbecue tools • Full-size washer and dryer, so you can pack light for the whole trip Four bedrooms, 4 baths, and real beds for everyone: • Main-level king suite, wheelchair accessible and wheelchair friendly, with step-free deck access and a roll-in shower • Upper-level king suite with its own jetted tub and mountain views • Upper-level queen bedroom near a full bath with a deep soaking tub • Lower-level king suite with an en-suite and glass doors to the lower deck • Bunk nook in the game room: twin-over-twin bunk beds plus a sofa sleeper for kids and late arrivals A bonus full bath just off the kitchen means nobody has to run upstairs mid-game. Downstairs, the game room is the rainy-day MVP: the pool table, foosball, a dartboard, a poker table topper, plus board games and puzzles on the shelf. Outside is where this Pigeon Forge cabin really shines. The private hot tub sits on the covered upper deck with sofas and a table for eight beside the gas grill. Below, a hanging swing bed strung with lights, rocking chairs and cornhole boards keep everyone outside from morning coffee to the last game. From Memorial Day to Labor Day you also get the seasonal community pool, just across the street.
