Amazing Lodges in the Smoky Mountains you can rent on VRBO or Airbnb!
Renting a large lodge for a family getaway is an old tradition. Having enough space for a large group is one of the advantages of a lodge. Whether you are looking for a family reunion space, or an epic vacation for your entire extended family - a lodge is probably the way to go. Hotels will occasionally offer connecting rooms or suites, but only a lodge can offer amenities like great rooms, full kitchens and dining rooms, yards for games, and game rooms! A lodge can also make the perfect spot for intimate weddings, corporate events, or family Christmas gatherings. Make sure to check with hosts about what kind of events they allow.
We love exploring the Smoky Mountains and have written in the past about the allure of the area. Here we have collected a list of some of the most amazing lodges we have seen in the area. There are 20 total on this list, so if you are looking for a specific one, keep scrolling until you find it. Below each listing we have included helpful information like how many people the lodge can sleep, where it is located, and a short description about the property’s amenities. Most importantly, there will be a link where you can find more photos, availability, and book your trip! That is the orange text.
