My bf and I had a great time with a few other couples at Dream View Lodge. It was our first time to the Smokies and WOW. We were here for nature/hikes, and the cabin is close to one of the entrances to Great Smoky Mountain National Park. The cabin itself faces south over the Park and it gets amazing light all day (great for group photos).
We did a few of the touristy things in Gatlinburg and because of where the cabin is, we avoided traffic on the main parkway. The cabin is beautifully renovated and each room is thoughtfully laid out. It felt clean, luxurious, and contemporary. I loved lounging on the upstairs sofa while enjoying the perfect picture window. AM coffee on the front deck with the breathtaking views was unbeatable (don’t almost forget to pack coffee & tea like us!) Stargazing from the hot tub was A+!
David was a great host and so helpful. He’s really built such an incredible space and a beautiful sanctuary in the woods. Thank you for an amazing trip to the Smokies!

This is an awesome place for a group of friends. We came up with a big group of 14 friends, and we barely left the cabin.
Everything in the cabin is brand new and the place is really well laid out. The kitchen was big and stocked, the living area was comfortable and had enough seating for all of us to hang out, and there were different places on each floor and outside for people to have their own space.
All of the king bedrooms were super comfortable and felt really luxurious. The views from the decks are unbelievable. We spent a ton of time out on there, grilling, hot tubbing and hanging out- the upper deck gets a ton of sun and the lower deck is shaded so that was a nice balance. The views are better than the pictures, and there’s different views from all over the house. There was tons to do for everybody- a hiking trail on site, a game room with arcade games, a big theater and a pool table. Being this up in the mountains we were kinda concerned about the WiFi, but they’ve got Starlink and it worked great. Our host David was great and made everything easy.

This cabin is really A+. Other cabins we’ve stayed in didn’t feel private at all, but staying at Dream View Lodge was like being in our own little nature preserve. All you see is mountains and trees. It's about 15 minutes from the nearest National Park entrance, so we spent one day in the park and were off the trail and making dinner 30 minutes later. There is also a nice trail on the property where we took the family on little adventures.
We loved having a wood fireplace in the living room and sitting by the fire tables outside at night watching the stars. The cabin is much bigger than it looks; everything is super comfortable and well-stocked. The theater, game room, and pool table were great for evenings, especially with how early it gets dark this time of year. David is a great host and we enjoyed his place immensely.

Our group of 10 had an awesome time at Dreamview Lodge. The views of the mountain were incredible! The cabin is high above everything else, you can see for miles and miles and into the national park. Everything in the cabin is brand new, so the beds are super comfy and everything felt really luxurious. plenty of seating for everyone to be together because of the living room, bar area, kitchen and dining are all connected.
We did a lot of cooking on the grill out front, and in the kitchen, which was well stocked with dishes and cookware. Our kids love the theater and game room space they really took over the whole lower level. We adults slept in the spaces on the main floor, and especially enjoyed how so many rooms had exceptional views. We spent a lot of time on the decks, enjoying the two fire tables for grilling.
The hot tub was great. Our room, probably the most spacious of the bedrooms had the coolest shower I’ve ever used. We all agree how amazing it was!
Will be back again !
